"Huh! You, two, are brothers?" Josh said.

He broke the silence and started eating. Jill looked down at his lap.

" I'm the better version" Eric said.

"ERIC" his mom said.

Her knuckles went white.

"NOT EVERYONE IS AS HEARTLESS AS YOU AND YOUR FATHER!"

Her face went pale. She looked shocked at her own words, she stood up and left the room.

"Look what you've done, even though he's used less, he's never made your mother mad at me."

Eric's dad stood up and followed his mother, calling her name in a soothing tone. Eric's body shook, his face went pale.

"M-mom I-Im not heartless right?"

He looked over to Lila

"You want opinion? You are."

"Darling, please I've apologised multiple times for destroying your realm."

Eric's mom came back in with a necklace.

"Jill!" She said.

Jill looked at her.

"Take care of her, I won't let this happen again."

"Lila run and never come back."

"Wait mom what are you doing?" Eric said.

"Darling stop, that's Eric love."

"Let me be and I'll drop this fight."

Eric's dad held Eric back and knocked him unconscious.

"RUN, DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE!"

"LILA." Josh said.

He stretched his hand out towards her. Lily levitated towards her. James made eye contact with Lila and mouthed.

I'll find you?

In a blink, Lila and Jill were teleported.

"Lila, Lila wake up."

Lila looked up to see a boy hovering over her, he had dark blue hair that could be mistaken for purple. His eyes shun like the sea, Lila backed up to a wall.

Gun.

"Where's Jill, who are you?"

"You're looking at him right now."

Lila came closer but still had her gun in hand.

"What's? Going on" she said.

Jill sighed and looked out the cave.

"It's a very long story"

He was mellow, and the red necklace he's always wore had a crack in it for once his sweet go lucky voice stopped and a calm and still voice replaced it.

"Tell me about it, I'm all ears"

"I was meant to be your Eric."

What does that even mean.

The wind blew harshly against them, their hair flying in a blurry.

I was meant to be yours, but I just couldn't do it, forcing someone to  love me I couldn't do it. me of all people? Doing that would just be  twisted.Jill looked at Lila
