Dad's Best Friend [Robert Downey Jr]

Chances Are

~~4 months later ~~

I'm so obsessive over her. Its kinda sad but true. Literally, its so hard for me to teach when she's in the same room as me. Jamie is still pissed at her and it's quite annoying too.

Harry and I also became friends because he's always with Erin. He is close to Erin... Almost too close. I just need to be sure that he won't make a move with her.

Drugs aren't physically helping me, but they're so calming to the mind. I can't help it. Just the way it feels. Perfection. Its just the after affect that I can't handle. The headaches. Its sickening.

After class I tell Harry to stay.

"Yes, Robert?" He says

"Harry... I need to ask you something" I start "its for uh... Scientific research"

"okayyy...?" He says, a bit suspicious

"One student from every class has to take part so I chose you" I say. I have no idea what I'm on about

"Right...? What is this?" He asks

"Who would you date?" He asks

"What?" He asks confused

"If you could date one person in the class who would it be?" I ask. Wow, real smooth, Robert, reallll smooothh

"Uhhh... Are you sure its for a scientific experiment...?" He asks, really suspicious now

"Yeah" I quickly say. "No" I sigh

"What's up, you creep?" He jokes

"I just- I need to know something?" I asks in a more serious tone

"Yeah?" Harry asks

"And there's no reason I ask this. I'm just curious" I say

"Dude, just say" he says, a little impatient but friendly

"Are you... Are you interested in Erin" I say

"What? No! She's like a sister to me" harry says

"That's good!" I say, and sigh in relief but then I realise how obvious I'd made things.

"Why's it good?" He asks, smiling mischievously

"No reason" I quickly say

"This is getting hella interesting. You like her don't you?" He grinned

Fuck! He's onto me

"What the fuck, no! Ok, maybe, yes" I say. It actually feels good to finally tell someone.

"Oh shit. Robert. You have no idea how perfect this is" he say sitting down on a chair. I sit down on one next to this

"what. Why?" I ask

"Do you love her?" He asks

"Yes. Yeah I do. Why do think I've been drinking? From the moment I met her. I fell in love. I need her. She's so amazing... And flawless" I say

"Well, you're in for a treat, my friend" he's still smiling, and now I'm suspicious

"Huh?" I ask

But he says nothing. He leaves, and I'm confused as hell

"YOU WONT TELL HER ANYTHING!?" I yell

"Not a word" he replies

Harry's POV

This is way too perfect. She loves him. He loves her. And I know that they do. I'm not gonna tell either because true love finds its way. I'm going to push them though.

Erin dumped Jamie. He's been a dick ever since. I'm still his roommate but I want to move out. He was so rude to her.

Robert. He's so great. He's really fun and kind. He's an amazing teacher, and friend. I feel like he'd really take care of Erin.

He's always protective about her. Its hard to tell, but he is. He's like drinking a lot and that's apparently because he loves her and he thinks she doesn't love him. Now that's saying something. Its not just Robert either. Erin is so upset and depressed without him for the same reason.

They are like a jigsaw puzzle. Apart, they're just pieces but together they fit perfectly, making a beautiful picture.

I go to Erin whose waiting for Robert. They sort of live together temperately
