Hello everyone! I am back, sorry for such a long wait. I have just been very busy.

Anyways, here's the next chapter, enjoy!

Chapter 10

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Kevin drummed his fingers on the table.

Wendy watched as the bubbles that had developed in her water float to the surface before popping.

Ian slouched a little more on the couch and let out a breath loudly, all the while trying not to disturb Erin who had fallen asleep and was currently resting her head in his lap.

They were at Wendy's house and had been listening to the same song over and over for a very long time. All of them had attempted to get Julie to play something else but she had insisted that the music was making her feel better and that they should fuck off.

The clock hit four pm.

" Alright," Ian said, breaking the silence and shifting in his seat. " We're out of here, there is simply no point in sitting here and doing nothing. If what you say is true, I'm going to spend the last hours of my life doing something I enjoy with people I like."

He gently moved some of Erin's red hair out of her face and woke her.

" Pip." He whispered, kissing her cheek. " Pip, it's time to wake up. We need to go."

Erin stirred in his lap, groaning and mumbling something under her breath about stupid people stupidly waking her from a good nap at a stupid time.

" Erin."

Grumbling she slowly sat up blinking her eyes tiredly, while running her fingers through her hair to smooth it out.

"Mmm." She stretched her muscles and looked at Ian, smiling a sleepy smile.

" What's up Zip?" She yawned, her eyes still half closed.

" Come on get up." Ian said standing and helping her up. " We're going to do something fun."

" Fun? What?" Erin questioned, her mind still a bit foggy. She yawned again, opening her eyes wider and blinking a few more times, she nodded. " Ok. Where should we go?"

Ian thought for a moment. Where could they go with out Kevin and Wendy following them?

" Lets go to the amusement park." He said, satisfied that they could be alone, when he saw Wendys face take on a shocked expression. " You have to face your fears sometime right?"

Erin smiled, she knew why Ian chose to go there, he wanted to be with her, ust her. She was looking forward to just hanging out with the man she loved. She had always enjoyed it best when it was just them, when they could talk about anything, when she could just sit in Ian's arms and be happy that he was there with her, together.

oOo

Ian checked his rear-view mirror and rolled his eyes, seeing Wendy's car trailing two cars behind him. He had really figured that his plan would work, but it seemed the there really was no getting rid of his newly acquired stalkers.

" Maybe," Erin started." It won't be that bad. I mean, it's not like we'll be sharing the same bed." She narrowed her eyes playfully as Ian gave her a 'I wouldn't be to sure about that.' look. She smiled reaching over and rubbing her boyfriends shoulder. " I love you Zip."

Ian took his eyes off the road to look over a Erin briefly. " Love you too Pip."

He glanced back to the road just in time to slow down enough to make the turn into the parking lot.

Ian checked his mirror a last time, watching Wendy pull into a space behind them.

oOo

For what seemed to be the thousandth time, Ian sighed as he looked side-long a Erin. Surprisingly, she had started talking to Wendy, just talking. It had worried him a little bit at first, he had never really seen her have a real conversation with anyone but him before.

They had just been walking in circles for what had to be at least an hour now.

" Hey man!" A voice called, making everyone look towards it's source.

" Hey, I haven seen you in forever." Kevin said, going over to the other teen to greet the slightly shorter man.

Kevin saw his friend looking over his shoulder.

" Oh, right," Kevin added." This is Wendy, Ian and Erin." He said as he pointed them out. " Everyone, this is Kyle."

Kyle nodded to the two girls and looked Ian over for a second.

" I like you," He said a light tone." You make me feel...tall."

Ian rolled his eyes.

" That's the great thing about him, he makes everyone feel tall." Kevin said, laughing.

" Yeah, kinda like how you make everyone feel like a genius." Ian commented, smirking as he saw Kevin glare at him.

Erin smiled, laughing quietly, even Wendy stifled a short laugh.

" I could totally see how that could be true." Kyle replied thoughtfully, he looked at his watch and grimaced. " Hey Kevin, I need to go man, my girl is waiting for me to come pick her up. I'll see you later."

" Alright, see ya." Kevin called as his friend left. He turned back to Ian. " I hate you."

Ian half smiled, taking Erin's hand as they followed Kevin through the crowd of people. Maybe Erin was right, maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
