Erin's POV

I knew they were talking about me I tried not to listen but I couldn't help it, I wasn't standing too far away so it was easy to hear them.

"No absolutely not!" I heard Jack shout.

Out of pure instinct I looked up and Jack saw me and slammed the door. Not like I couldn't hear his loud voice through the thin door.

Had I really been so awful to be around he would be so angry with me?

Maybe I was over thinking this maybe he wasn't even talking about me. C'mon Erin not even you are stupid enough to think he wasn't talking about you and then when he saw you looking at him he slammed the door for no reason. The snarky voice in my head reminded me. They couldn't just abandon me, I had no where else to go it wasn't my choice to be yanked out f my home, my time period, and put into a completely different place, heck I don't really mind it, but I didn't have a say in it.

God, I should have never overslept or looked at that stupid puddle. The whole reason all of this was happening was because of that dream I had this morning, I can't even remember it really I just remember somebody trying to tell me something. It doesn't really matter, besides I have more important things to worry about. If I can't remember it than it wasn't important enough to remember and if it was I'll remember it eventually I always tell myself when I forget things.

After a few more minutes of just carefully looking around the 'hub' as Gwen and Jack call it, Gwen comes down the stairs from Jack's office with worry and conflict clear in her eyes. I've never really been great with handling other people's emotions, nor my own for that matter but I've seen other people try to make others feel better so I can at least attempt to help Gwen with whatever she's struggling to figure out, which I most likely caused. I'm worried for so many reasons and I really want to help.

"Everything okay?" I ask while taking a few steps closer to Gwen who was still standing at the foot of the stairs.

She just gives me a silent nod and I know she's not so I do something that surprises us both.

I close the gap between us and embrace Gwen in a tight hug. She instantly hugs me right back and I can feel a tiny amount of the tension being released from her. I continue to hug Gwen for a few more moments because I don't know what else to say or do and I can also feel Jack's watching both of us.

"I'm so sorry this is all my fault, I should have never gone near that stupid puddle. I'm so stupid." I say into Gwen's shoulder.

Gwen gently releases me. "No anyone would've tried to understand what was going on with the glowing coming from the water. You're not stupid, just curious, none of this is your fault."

"What's gonna happen to me?" I ask holding back tears which are threatening to spill.

"I don't know yet, but I won't let anything bad happen to you." Gwen assures me and I hope she means it and I think she does.

As if on cue some female robotic voice turns on "Unknown human male has entered the lobby. Unknown human male has entered the lobby." Then a tv turns on and shows a man holding a pizza looking for someone to give the pizza to.

"Yay the pizzas here!" Gwen says as she grabs some money and runs to the elevator. "Be back in a jiffy!"

Once the elevator doors close Jack is suddenly a few feet away from me.
