{The next Day}

Erika's pov
I wake up and rub my eyes. I pull my phone off the charger and check it. 9.32 am. I never sleep this late. Weird. I lay back in my bed and go onto Instagram. I check everyone's insta stories then I go onto the explorer page. I like some fan edits and then I come across a picture of me and Jake. It was from Greece... what a trip that was... I like it and instantly regret it. I put my phone down. I climb out of bed and throw on some leggings and a sports bra. I walk into my bathroom and brush my teeth. I put on some chapstick and tie my hair up in a ponytail. I walk out of my bathroom and grab my phone. I walk out of my room. I take a deep breath and pretend everything is okay.

Erika: Hey Steph

Steph: Oh hey Erika

Erika: What's up?

Steph: I'm just about to head to work but.. I can call in sick and have a girls day with you if you want? *smiles*

Erika: Why would you do that?

Steph: Well... Rocky talked to me...

Erika: It's okay. It's just a waste of time.

Steph: Okay.

She puts her bag over her shoulder.

Erika: Okay see you after work.

Steph: Will do. I'm going on a date later tonight but I can cancel!

Erika: No Steph go!

Steph: Okay, Bye.

Erika: Bye.

She walks out the door. I fall back onto the couch.  My phone starts ringing. Anthony Trujillo. I decline. He texts me.

'Hey Erika I just wanted to talk to you about something. Call me when you can.'

I walk onto my balcony. It's pouring rain outside. It looks kinda pretty though. I watch as people run to shelter out of the rain. *Knock Knock*

I sigh and walk inside. I walk to the door. I open it. Rocky.

Rocky: Hey

Erika: Hi

Rocky: Can I Come in?

Erika: Can I be honest?

Rocky: Of course.

Erika: I just want to be alone.

Rocky: Erika-

Erika: We talked about it yesterday. I just need to process this right now.

Rocky: You sure?

Erika: Yep.

Rocky: Call me if you need anything.

Erika: Okay. Thanks for checking on me though.

Rocky: Of course.

I hug her. She smiles and starts walking away. I close and lock the door. I slide down the back of the door. My head in my knees. How did everything go down so quick? I would do anything to be back on tour... everything was so perfect back then... I don't know what to do...

Sorry I've been on vacation and was having a good time with my friends!
