Erika's pov

It's been a week since Jakes been in a coma and a little over week since we "broke up". I've felt the same everyday and dressed the same. I also visited Jake in the hospital everyday and cried everyday. Today was no different except the fact that today was Friday. I woke up late then got dressed and went downstairs to grab an apple

E:Morning mom
An:Morning hon
E:Bye mom
An:Erika wait
E:What
An:You gotta start getting up earlier so you can eat a regular breakfast and get out of this funk
E:Sure Mom bye love you
An:*sighs* love you too

I walked out of the house and drove to school. The bell just rang so I rushed to class and sat down. Of course I got the usual stares and whispers throughout my classes. Finally lunch came and I ate lunch with Tessa while we talked

T:Erika
E:Yeah
T:Can you dress the same anymore
E:Yes
T:*sighs* can you get out of this funk
E:What funk
T:Jake depression funk
E:Funny
T:I'm serious
E:So am I
T:Erika you've literally dressed and acted the same for a week
E:Tessa what do you want me to do I put her there I should feel the pain
T:No
E:Please don't argue with me
T:Fine I'm just saying stop beating yourself up over this shit
E:How can I not
T:Stop visiting him in the hospital
E:I can't
T:Why not
E:Tessa I PUT HIM THERE

People around me looked at me

E:*sighs* please you'll never understand I put him in the hospital and he'll probably take pills the rest of his life because of me
T:Your right
E:What?
T:Your a horrible fucking person
E:Tessa are you kidding
T:What you wanted to hear that
E:No-
T:Erika admit you want me to defend you
E:No I don-
T:Rik
E:Fine I do but you shouldn't
T:I know I shouldn't but your my best friend so I have to defend you
E:I guess

A tray slammed onto the table and Derek sat down

De:Hey ladies
E:Hi Derek
T:Oh great Derek.......
De:Why do you hate me
T:Geez I mean you try to kiss my best friend the third day you reconnected with her and know the shit she's going though

Oh yeah a few days ago Derek tried to kiss me but I pulled away because shit like that got me in this situation. I love Derek but just as a friend because the only person that had my heart was Jake Joesph Paul he just doesn't feel the same to me now.

De:Tessa let it go
T:No your a dickhead
De:I've been her bestie longer then you have
T:Shut the fuck up your just obsessed with her
De:Hey I am not
E:Ok I'm going to class I'll let you guys hash this out
T:The bell didn't ring
EI just wanna get to class earlier and write a few notes down
T:Ok Rik
De:We'll be arguing
T:I'll tell you when I win
E:Yeah ok have fun

I got up then grabbed my stuff and headed to my next period. I sat down and wrote my notes before the bell rang. The rest of the day went by like it always did then I went to cheer practice.

E:Hey Mack
M:Hi Rik
E:*sighs* life
M:Tell me about it
E:Mine sucks
M:You going to visit Jake today
E:Of course I always do
M:When do you think he'll wake up
E:I don't know but I've heard the doctor say soon
M:That's good
E:It's not like he'll talk to me
M:I know but it's still good you can warm up to him
E:*chuckles* your funny
M:Come on let's go to practice hopefully it will end early so you can visit Jake sooner
E:*laughs* Maybe
