You Promised-Part 2 (Cherik)

You Promised-Part 2 (Erik's POV)

My mind and heart were battling in my chest. Charles had asked me to join him at the party, but I just couldn't find it in me to go. My brain told me to stay, that it's not worth going, but my heart told me to go because Charles asked me and I said I would. Social gatherings kinda stress me out if I'm being honest. Nobody wants to talk to me. I'm the scary guy that everybody tries to avoid, so it makes those events less enjoyable. I looked outside through the window for the hundredth time tonight. People were starting to leave, which meant that the party was almost over. I might as well go down now. One, so Charles doesn't think I'm blowing him off, and two because why not.

I backed away from the window and headed for the door. On my way outside I passed many students heading back to their rooms. Most of them were either somewhat sober or drunk out of their minds. I felt a set of hands grab my arm.

"What the," I mumbled, then was pulled harshly into a room.

"What the hell! Get off me!" I pushed my whoever was holding me off and ran for the door.

"No come back," a voice said. It was a girl. She tried to grab me again, but using my powers I pushed her back and held her against the wall. I could feel her struggling to break free. I turned on the light and saw a red-haired girl trying to jump out of my hold.

"Jean. What are you doing?" I asked her, she tried to move again, but I kept her away from me.

"I just want you to come back," she slurred. I could smell the alcohol radiating off her. My god Charles what kind of drinks were at the party.

"I'm going to leave now Jean," I said to her. She shook her head and mumbled a small no. Then passed out. I turned off the lights and then left the room, closing the door behind me. I turned around and was met face to face with a pair of blue eyes.

"Charles," I whispered. Why was he here? I thought he was supposed to be at the party.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the party?" I asked. He looked tired and dead inside, to be honest.

"I'm going to bed. What are you doing?" He asked with a frustrated tone.

"I was going to meet you."

He laughed then started walking away. Did something happen to him at the party?

"Charles, what's wrong?" I asked, moving to catch up with him.

"Oh, something that happened at the party. If you would have been there you would have known." He started to walk faster. I grabbed his arm and turned him around.

"Look, Charles, I'm sorry. I knew I should have gone down sooner. Trust me I was going to come. I just didn't know when," I told him. He rolled his eyes then pushed my hand away.

"Really? When were you planning on coming? When the party was over? Cause what good does that do me? I asked you to come so I wouldn't be lonely, and what happened, you didn't show up. That leaves me in a position that I don't want to be in."

"I'm sorry Charles," I said quietly. I felt guilt start to flood my system. I'm so stupid. I promised him I would go and I broke that promise.

"Sorry doesn't cut it this time Erik. I don't know what you're gonna do now, but don't expect any forgiveness from me for a long time," he said. He turned away harshly and left. Leaving me stranded in the middle of the hallway.

I wanted to chase after him. Tell him everything. Tell him that I was too god damn scared to go down to the party. Tell him that I wanted to with all my heart, just so I could spend some time with him, but I just couldn't.

"What have I done?" I whispered to myself. I walked slowly back to my room and closed the door.

"He can't be mad at me forever," I said to myself sitting down on my bed, "It's Charles he has more sympathy in him than anyone I've ever met." I rubbed my face, keeping my hands there for a long moment, then returning them to my lap.

I really fucked up.

I have to talk to him.

I have to tell him everything.

I have to make it up to him.

I will make it up to him.

Holla, thanks for reading! Part 3 coming soon. (Sorry for having 3 parts. I just felt like it would be better.)
