One night ( cherik )

chapter 2

Erik

I had to tell raven what had been bothering me,I did promise after all.

What if she thinks i'm weak or emotionally unstable? What if I am just that?

That thought was flying around in my head.I was frightened to tell anyone about my feelings especially my close friends. However I couldn't cower in my room forever.I had to go out there and be a man,but that was quite hard because the only person I could explain my feelings to is now dead.If only my mother was here I wouldn't have to be in this situation, I would have never met Charles and I would have saved my self the pain.

My heart was pounding so hard I couldn't here my self think,My breath was irregular and my hand were shaking as if I had been drinking.I took a deep breath and muttered,

"I am Erik Lehnsherr,I am not a coward and I will explain my feelings to Raven.Pull it together its only explaing to your best friend that you like her brother.Great that just made it twice as hard."

Raven was already waiting for me in the kitchen. I didn't need to be Charles to know that she was impatient and frustrated with me especially as she was watching me drunk away my problems without knowing what my problems are, god I'm actually a ducking train wreak.

"Right Raven I will tell you but don't interrupt me.please."
she nodded and I continued
"I'm in pain from what happened, I feel guilty it's all my fault, I fucked up, shooting Charles and leaving him there was the biggest fuck up though, I shot the only guy I've ever cared for, only person I've ever loved."

Raven looked thunder struck but she stated to look blurry,I was crying.

"I can't forgive my self for hurting him and ending our friendship.If i didn't screw up i would be facing him and confessing my feelings towards him,but now I will not have the chance to. I probably would have gotten friend zoned either way but at least I could still see him be happy."

Raven

I hoped that this was a dream,Erik had a crush on my brother!?!This is insane how,what,why.... However I felt sorry for Erik because he has no control over his emotions.I had no idea what to do other than to hug Erik and give him a shoulder to cry on.

After what felt like an hour, I persuaded Erik to go for a walk and calm down.This gave me a chance to think.I knew I had to do something about this but I knew Erik didn't want me interfering with his love life.I couldn't watch Erik suffer, I knew what he was going through.However there is only one problem,what should I do?I could go and tell Charles that Erik is a in love with him but Erik would torture me and I don't want to find out how torture by metal feels like, he would eventually kill me.Or I could ask Alex about Charles but he hates me.I thought about it all day but no idea seemed to be a good one.

It was 10 pm Erik was fast asleep.He looked so peaceful but I knew that his emotions were at war.Soon after I decided to go to sleep but sleep wasn't easy after hearing that, I can only imagine how drunk must feel.But after a while my body gave in, I fell asleep.
