It wasn't romance she needed.
Lindsay canceled on Jay saying she needed to relax. The truth was she needed to cry. Jay was awesome but he had a way of making things romantic, this wasn't romantic. She nearly lived the ghosts of her past again. Today's events kept running through her head again and again. She curled into the couch and cried. There was a soft knock at the door. "Jay... Great... Just who i need..." She sarcastically mumbled as she headed to the door. When she looked though the peephole her eyes were greeted by a familiar face. "What do you want Tonio?" She said though the door to the guy in the leather jacket and grey beanie. "Erin..." He whispered looking straight into the peephole. She unlocked and opened the door. "I what you want me to think... You're fine... Im not convinced. It doesn't take a genius for that..." He said as he stepped inside her apartment. She sighed looking into his brown eyes. "It... Just made me think... You know... Some girls..." He tilted his head. "Thats not all... I can tell. "Being helpless i... Ive had enough of those days... I just it's i just want..." She stuttered. Antonio pulled Erin into his arms. She began to cry again. "You know no one in our entire unit will let you go anywhere by yourself again ever Erin... Especially me I always have your back..." "I know... Thanks..." She was just a mess and she knew it, but Antonio didn't care. "Antonio i am just scared..." "Who can blame you? No matter what you want im camping out on you couch tonight... Even if it doesn't make you feel better it sure would help me..." Erin was secretly happy he was staying. Erin headed to her bedroom. "Erin... Its going to be ok..." He stated giving a soft smile. "I know that now..." She smiled back. She had no trouble getting to sleep.
