Numero Catorce

"Eric?" "Yeah, Rae are you okay?" "Uh. Yeah I'm gonna come down to your house, okay?" "Hm, are you sure you're okay?" "Yeah I'll talk to you when I get there." I got on the next flight to Raleigh, Carolina not really thinking of Jordan or anything else. Yeah I was with Jordan and all, but I had known Eric for awhile and we have been through a lot. Even though we always don't get along and he isn't my favorite person to be with. By the way, if you were wondering why I am headed toward North Carolina it is because Eric went home a week ago after spending time in Pittsburgh for a while.





I pulled into Eric's driveway and got out of the car. I slowly walked up to his front door. He opened it before I had the chance to knock. Apparently he had seen my car pull up. "Hey Rae, how are you doing?" He pulled me into a hug. "I'm not too great." "What's wrong?" He asked me sounding concerned. I went on to tell him of all the events that had occurred earlier that evening. "Wow, I never expected that one." He said to me. "Yeah neither did I, and I just don't know what to do. I'm not going back to that house." "Well you are welcome to stay here as long as you want." "Thanks Eric." "No problem." By this time we had moved onto his couch. I was laying out with my head in his lap. We turned on the TV and soon enough I drifted off to sleep. The next morning I woke up to the smell of bacon. I stood up and stretched out, a little dizzy at first. I walked into the kitchen to find Eric cooking breakfast. Now let me tell you something, he made the best breakfast I have ever had. Yes, even better than Pierre's. "Hey babe." He said to me. "Hey, mmm that smells great." "Hah yeah I thought you would like it." "Well that was sweet of you." I smiled at him. "So I was thinking and do you wanna go out into the city today and just hang out?" He asked me. "Yeah that sounds great." I replied. Eric and I finished eating our breakfast while I went upstairs to hop in the shower and get dressed. I threw on a pair of short jean shorts and a stripped Hollister tank top. I didn't need to get dressed up or anything, just something comfortable. I put on my makeup, grabbed my favorite purse, put some things in it that I thought I would need and went downstairs. I decided to leave my cell phone at the house, I didn't want anything or anyone bugging me today. Anyways I had told my dad I was going to Jordan's so he would start looking there first if anything, it gave me enough time to do whatever I want. Eric was waiting when I got down the stairs. "Alrighty, let's go." He lead me out to his garage and into his Lamborghini, that he had just bought. When we first drove into the city we went to go see a movie at the IMAX theater. It was pretty cool. Then we went out to lunch, walked around, and shopped for the rest of the day. It was really relaxing and nice to just get away from everything. We got back to his house around 9:00. I was really tired. We both went upstairs because we were exhausted. "Thanks Eric." I said to him before he went into his room. "For what?" "Just letting me come here unexpected and hang out." "Anytime. Don't worry about it." We hugged each other for a little bit longer than we should have. "Rae, you should come down here more often." He said while looking me up and down. "hah yeah I should. Well, Goodnight. I'll see you tomorrow." Before I knew what I was doing I reached up and gave him a goodnight kiss.......on the lips. "hah ooo sorry about that." "Oh don't be." He smiled. "Have a good sleep Eric." I walked away and into my room, or what would be my room for as long as I stayed here. I heard beeping, and I knew that I would have messages on my phone. I went over and checked it. Ten missed calls and Five texts for Jordan, Two missed calls from Dad, and Three Texts from Eliegh. Oh joy, here we go. I decided I would call Jordan back first. I bet this wasn't going to end well. 'ring ring ring ring' I didn't think he was going to pick up. "Rae, Where the hell are you!?" He sounded pissed, and a little worried. "Hi Jordan, uh I left the state for a little while. I needed to get away from everything. I got in a fight with my dad." "Oh trust me I know what's going on. Your dad is with me right now, he explained everything. You still didn't answer my question." I could tell he was getting annoyed. "uhhh." I hesitated. "I'm In North Carolina." "What the fuck! Are you serious? Let me guess, you're with Eric right?" "erm....yeah." "My own fucking girlfriend chooses my brother over me." "Jordan, it's not like that. I'm sorry."
