Erin's POV

Today was just unbelievable.....I actually teared up in front of him. OMG!

And how could I actually cling onto him? I even HUGGED him! He must think I'm a weirdo and wtf, .....my image is gone.

But why do I feel......so......safe when I was in his arms?

It felt so......warm and yeah......so magical......

Erin Hayes you have finally gone mad! You should go to a hospital! Are you mad?!

Anyway what's worse is that I asked him to come over my house.

I opened my bedroom and looked at my messy room. Clothes were everywhere and I even haven't kept my bed.

This is just stupid! I need to clean right now!

Eric's POV

Wow she actually called me to come to her house......wow......

What should I wear? Something cute? Nah..... something appealing?.....nah.....

"Ric what are you doing?"

I turned around and saw Alex looming around my bedroom door.

"Hey...do you need anything?"

"Ric.......I was calling you a lot of times but you were smiling while looking at the mirror. Did you kill her already?"

"Umm....Alex? That isn't the only reason which will make me happy."

"So you got a girlfriend?"

"Hell, no!"

"Eric, you're getting weirder each day."

"Not as weird as you doing 'cheesy stuffs' to your lovely "Sarah" when she gets angry."

"Whatever, Eric I'm serious."

"I'm just..... well we're going on a trip."

"With?"

"Kris ofcourse."

"When?"

'This weekend."

He looked at me and held my wrist.

"Eric your parents left me with you to take care of you so please don't make me worry and don't get into trouble. Even though I'm your guardian, I am like your dad, your brother, your friend so please be careful and take care of yourself."

I saw his expression getting really serious.

I still remembered his face when my parents died.

As I recalled that thing, I seem to remember why I am here, why I have been waiting for this moment.

I was here to kill Erin, not like her.

I better control myself. Eric don't forget whose fault was it that left you alone in this world and now is your chance.

Don't day dream.

"I know Eric....thanks for being here."

"Okay now do whatever you were doing Bye Ric."

"Also you dude, do whatever you were doing with Sarah."

"You pervert!"

"Just get out !"

"Fine!"

I pushed him out and sighed in relief.

So..... I was changing again and again.

Why do I look so ugly today?

I quickly took a hot shower and put on my favorite hat.

I felt perfect yet nervous. Then I wore simple clothes just jeans and a t-shirt.

Don't go overboard. I jumped from my balcony to my front door.

"Eric act human!" Alex hissed.

"Okay okay bye ."

"Don't do anything bad okay!"

"Dude......."

"Have fun."

He sounded like a father getting protective to me. I love him as a father, as a brother and as a friend. Without him I'd be left alone in this whole world.

Before he went inside I muttered something to him.

"Thanks Alex."

He ruffled my hair and smiled a fatherly smile.

"It's okay , go there and have fun and what was her name again?"

"Erin, Erin Hayes."

I nodded at him and smiled very brightly. After walking a bit, I was in front of her house.

I knocked the door twice and finally someone came and opened.

It was Erin in her pink sponge bob pajamas. She looked like a five-year old, she looked so so so.....umm cute. And she looked so small, I could hug her right there.

My hands were shaking, Eric! Control yourself!

I was literally staring at her and finally she started to talk.
