N/A POV- Erika got into the car smiling big, she kissed the guy on the cheek.

Erika- hi babe

??- Hi Rik, how's work

Erika- it's fine but it sucks that I can't tell Max and Charlie about us.

??- If you really want to tell them, I'm not going to stop you but I kind of like our bubble. (Leans in and kisses Rik)

Erika- I like our bubble too Liam, I should probably get back, I told Max I was getting something

Liam- alright, bye babe

Erika- bye (kisses him)

Max- where have you been? I was about to go looking for you

Erika- sorry Max, I couldn't find my phone charger

Max- we have one in the break room silly

Erika- whoops haha

(customers came in)

Erika- hi what can i get you

Guy 2- I'll have a beer

Erika- coming right up (hands him a cold beer)

Liam-Hi gorgeous I'll have a beer also (winks)

Erika- oh hi well let me get you one (hands a cold beer and winks)

Max- I'll be back Rik I'm going to grab some ice.

Erika- okay, (Max had left) Liam what are you doing here? I thought you were going to visit your mom

Liam- she cancelled on me so I thought I'd come see you in action.

Erika- alright, oh give me a sec Liam, hi what can I get you? Oh, hi Jake

Jake- hey um I didn't come for a drink I actually came to ask you if you saw me leave my wallet here from last time.

Erika- umm I don't really remember but let me check lost and found

n/a pov- Liam was getting mad that Erika knew Jake so he got up and pushed Erika against a wall

Liam- why are you cheating one me? Who's the dude you are flirting with? Huh

Erika- Liam stop why are you acting like this

Jake- hey leave her alone (pulled Liam off Erika)

Liam- hey move along little dude (grabbed Erika's wrist tight)

Erika- ow, Liam you are hurting me (a tear shed from Erika's eyes)

Jake couldn't handle seeing Erika hurt so he pulled Liam and punched him in the eye, causing Liam to fall back. Max was coming back with the ice and as soon as he saw Erika on the floor, he dropped the ice and ran towards her.

Max- Erika what's going on, are you okay? Omg Erika who is that

Erika- I'm sorry Max

When Jake finally got off of Liam and Liam had called Erika a bitch before he ran and left.

Jake- Erika, are you okay?

Jake sat next to Rik on the floor, Erika grabbed Jake and pulled him into a hug tightly. Jake just hugged her back and rubbed his hand on her back for comfort.

Erika- thank you Jake (sniffles)

Jake- how could I ever let anything happen to you, there is no need to thank me.

Max- hi Jake I'm Max, Erika's best friend (Jake Smiled) I'll leave you two to talk while I clean up the ice from the floor.
