Chapter 46

I woke up at 7:20 with Erik beside me. Oh, so he bothered himself to come home. I had a breakfast, put one my clothes and called a taxi. He'll be mad that I didn't wake him up and that I'm coming to the doctor's without him. Who cares. I wrote a note again saying 'I've gone to the doctor's. I'll be back soon.' and that's it. No 'I love you', no 'xoxo'. 

At the hospital

"So miss Wilson, how do you feel?" the doctor asked me and smiled. "I've been better. Like for real." I told him and he nodded. "I guess we can take thoe crutches away." he said. "Really?" I asked excited and he laughted at my reaction. "Really. Why are you so happy?" he asked and I giggled. "I miss driving my car. I mean, that I can drive anywhere, anytime." I said and he nodded. "Be careful. If it hurts then come again anytime." he told me and I nodded. "And miss Wilson, don't run in high-heeled boots again." he said and I laughted. If I don't meet Marco, there's no reason for running. "Thank you doctor. Really." I said and he nodded. "I hope we won't see each other for a long time. I mean, you're really kind and funny, but I don't want you to have troubles with it again." he said and I smiled. This is really the nicest doctor around this planet. "Thank you doctor. Goodbye." I said and waved him goodbye at what he laughted. "Goodbye." he said and I closed the door. Finally! I can walk like a normal person. And I can be independent again. Thanks God! I called the taxi and it gave me a lift home.

At Erik's place

I opened the door and Erik came immediately. "What was this supposed to mean?" he asked with arms crossed. I sighed. This is exactly the reaction I've been waiting for. "I was at the doctor's and he took the crutches away as you can see. And I'm happy that you're sharing the happiness with me." I said and walked away. "I am happy. I really am. I was just scared when I didn't find you anywhere." he said and I looked at the note on the kitchen's island. I cleared my throat and looked at him with the note in my hand. "Can't you read?" I asked and he slapped his forehead. "Oh." he said and walked closer. He was about to kiss me but I pulled him away. "I'm still angry,okay?!" I said and he sighed. "I know that I came a bit later yesterday, but.." but I cut him off. "A bit later? Erik a fucking text wouldn't have killed you!" I exclaimed and he sighed. "I know, I know. We all had a meeting after the training." he said and I sighed. "Exactly! After the training! So you had time to text me!" I exclaimed and his anger burst out. "I could have texted you! I know! But I wasn't in a mood for it! When I left you were so angry and it made me angry too because I'm spending all of my time with you and when I leave for training you get angry!" he yelled and it surprised me. So he can scream? I felt the tears in my eyes. "Okey. So I'm the problem." I mumbled and went to the bedroom. I opened my little suitcase when Erik came in the room. "You aren't the problem." he said but I shook my head. "Lucy, I know that I've been leaving more for the past few weeks, but.. All I want from you is to understand that I don't wanna leave, but I have to."he said and I sighed. "Lucy give me the clothes." he said, but I shook my head. "I'm sorry. Sorry." he said and I sat down letting the tears roll down. "Why did you scream? It scared me!" I said while crying. "Sorry. Sorry." he said and rubbed my back, but I pulled away. "Mom is coming back today so I have to go home." I said and started putting the things in my bag, but Erik kept giving it away. "Your home is here." he said and I stopped packing. "Jeez! Then I have to go to my mom's house!" I exclaimed and Erik's eyes started filling with tears. "Luc, I love you. Please don't leave me!" he said and I sobbed. "I'll come back. I don't know when but I'll be back." I said and closed the bag. I took it and started going to the front door. I put on my jacket and took the keys from my car. But suddenly Erik took my arm and turned me aroud. "Lucy please. Stay. Stay with me." he said and I shook my head. "Goodbye." I said and kissed his cheek. Then I started to run away. And I thought that the only person I run away from is Marco. I got in the car and sobbed harder. Erik is looking through the window and I can say that he's crying. I wiped my tears and drove off. I opened the door of the house and saw mom's luggage there. "Mom?" I called and she appeared in the doorframe. "Mom!" I said and ran to her arms. I hugged her and she kissed the top of my head. "What's happened?!" she asked and I led her to the sofa. I told her everything- about Marco, about crutches, even about Erik. After all she sighed. "Is the ankle all right?" she asked and I nodded. "Why.. uhh..Lucy, it's his job, he has to leave from time to time." she said and I sobbed again. "But mom it's difficult! I wanna have somebody who will be with me most of the time, but he's away most of all." I said and mom nodded. "You can't understand me mom! You're away, he's away and I'm alone." I said and mom nodded. "I can get that you're away, but another person who's away is too much." I said and mom sighed. "Did you two break up? It would be a shame now that you know his parents." she said and I sighed. "I don't care that I know his parents now and no. We didin't break up. I've just left." I said and mom nodded. "Will you come to his game on Wednesday?" she asked and I shrugged. "I don't know." I said and mom smiled. "I have a plan."she said and I giggled. "Do you?" I asked and she nodded. "You will buy your own tickets and you will surprise him after the match. He'll be glad." she said and I sighed. "I will come there, but I'll think about the surprise." I said and mom smiled. 

The next dayThe day at school was like torture. It's been boring the whole time. Erik has called me about 10 times, but I haven't answered. He's been sending texts, but I haven't replied. I got back home and saw his car there. My mom's not at home so she can't save me. I get off the car and he noticed me. "Hi." I mumbled and he nodded. "You haven't answered." he said and I looked away. "Why?" he asked with a puffy eyes. "I don't have energy." I said and he smiled. "Lucy, I know that I shouldn't have screamed, but I did. And I'm so so so sorry." he said and I shook my head. "You scared me." I said and he nodded. "I know. But I love you to pieces. Lucy please forgive me." he said and I smirked. "I have to go." I said and started walking away. Erik grabbed my arm and spun me around. "Lucy, don't walk away. Please." he said and I sobbed. "I'll call you." I said and ran to the door. I unlocked it and stepped in. Why am I so lucky with guys?! Why me?!
