I won't tell her anything but you will Eric*Jack said*

I will Jack, I promise you I will, it's just I need a little more time.*Edward said*

More time? She loves you, man, She might forgive you and give you a chance if you confess now. You know you're inviting trouble by not letting her know.*Jack said*

Not letting her know what?*Autumn asked whilst smiling as she enters inside the room with snacks and soft drinks*

No.. Nothing, when you were not here Edward just couldn't stop talking about you. I was telling him that you should let her know how much you love her.. that's it *Jack said and fake smiled*

Edward*Autumn said*

He looked at her.

I love you so much, I miss you already*Autumn said while pouting*

I love you more than you know Autumn and I am missing you a lot everyday*Edward said and smiled*

Hey! I will call you back, I just have to finish some work and you enjoy with your friends *Edward said*

Sure, Ed Byee *Autumn said while smiling*

Autumn was enjoying with her friends, talking to them, telling them more about Edward and his life, thinking that what will happen? and how people will react after finding out how similar Edward and Eric sound?

Maybe that's the reason people never find out anything about him even tho he works with Eric and how we never knew about him despite being Eric's biggest fans?*Grace said and scoffed*

I know right. When I first met him I told him that he sounds just like him and he should start singing as well*Autumn said as Autumn and Grace started giggling*

Jack was just staying with an expressionless face whilst listening to them as he was unable to ignore the truth that he knew for a long time but still can't say a word because he knows how much Eric loves her.


On the other hand ...

Eric was sitting in front of a mirror while taking off all the things he wears for disguise.

Eric' POV: Hey Edward, don't do this Edward, you look good. Edward, I miss you. Edward, I love you. Edward...Edward!!

All these things for Edward. She loves Edward and not me. I hate it when she says "I love you, Edward". I wanna listen to her saying that I LOVE YOU ERIC just before she'll close her eyes to kiss me.

I am afraid, I have always been afraid. I am not really assertive, I've never been, I act like I am very confident and all.
I am not negative but if 5 people love me, still I get hurt because of that one person who doesn't. I am not alone here in this entertainment industry, I  have a lot of good friends, I hang out with them but whenever it comes to love, I don't know why? but I start feeling like being left alone again for no apparent reasons, maybe past affects you and it affects you even more when you don't get a lot of time to see and talk to your family.
But one thing I know is, I love her so much and I really don't wanna hurt her.

Family? What's the time now? Oh! Thank god, mom might be still awake *Eric said and face-timed his mom*

Hey!..Mom*Eric said*

I was thinking about you, when you'll be back, I heard there are a few changes in your schedule?*She said*

They were planning to add extra dates to this tour but I asked them not to do it, I am really tired mom. My back is hurting, I fell down during practice*Eric said*

Eric, you just can't take care of yourself when I am not around huh? I get really worried about you sometimes, you don't share your feelings with anyone.*She said worryingly*

Sometimes I wish that you get a partner really soon *She said*

Actually, about that umm... Mom, I messed up *He said*

His mom looked at him with a questionable expression.

Eric, what's the matter?*his mom asked him*

Okay, so I met this girl a few months ago ...*He started telling her the whole story from the day he met her till the very recent video call he had with her*

I trust you son but the girl deserves to know the truth*She said*

Yeah mom, I know... I trust my fans a lot but there are a few people who'll start hating on her for no apparent reason but just because of the fact that we're dating.

And despite the fact that I know it's not right and I should tell her, I am kinda afraid of revealing my personal life to the world...but...but...they'll know about her anyway. Sooner or later they'll know mom. I don't want any trouble for the girl I love a lot.

I can only see this reason that I should hide the truth and keep her...safe you can say?*Eric said whilst being emotional*

Eric, I understand okay? But do tell her the truth soon because it won't just break your or her heart but also it will damage her faith in people. *She said*

She saw Eric getting sad and emotional so she tried to change his mood.

Also, I wanna meet her. Send me a picture of her at least*She said while smiling*

Eric smiled shyly and said, "I will send you".

But mom, how am I gonna tell her the truth. I can't think of anything.
I am Eric Anderson for the world but I always feel stupid and indecisive and wait for you to give me a solution when I know you're there*He said*

My son, you're gonna be 26 soon alright, you created this problem, I told you I wanna meet her, now it's your duty to find a solution for the problem you created. You're my big responsible boy.
*She said*

Mom*Eric said annoyingly*

Good night son, I love you *She said*

Yeah, I love you too mom*he said annoyingly but couldn't help smiling*


Eric's pov:
That's how real love feels? Whenever you feel sad, think of her. Whenever you feel alone,think of her.
But what do I do? when I am thinking about her to stop thinking about her reaction to this truth of mine?
After this tour, I will tell her. She deserves to know the truth. I can't force her to stay with me.
I shouldn't have lied in the first place.
