New Chapter guys! I hope you like it! Some Solly and Eric exchanges in this chapter! The song featured is Call Me by Shinedown


Solly turned and saw a beautiful tanned girl with long flowing brown hair. Her smile shined brightly and her walk matched that of a super model. His jaw dropped at the site of her. For all he knew she could be a model. She wore a green and blue skirt which flattered her figure, and a sky blue tank top with plenty of necklaces and bracelets to match. She also wore a pair of purple glasses on her face, framing her forest green eyes. Eric slowly turned to look at her as well and when he did, she noticed him immediately and waved at him excitedly.

"Eric!" She yelled, running towards them. The other 4 guys saw her and their jaws dropped at the sight of her as well. Eric put on the best smile he could and opened his arms for her as she tackled him in a hug. "Man, Eric! I haven't seen you in forever!" She grinned up at him. Solly blinked a bit and looked at the two of them.

"Y-Yeah. How-w hav-ve you been, Felicity?" Eric asked, his stutter more prominent as he spoke her.

"I've been great! I went to school for marine biology and I got a bit of a break and I heard you started school here so I came to say hi!" She replied, sounding excited. He chuckled slightly and looked at the guys.

"Everyone, this is Felicity Peixes." Eric introduced the bubbly girl.

"Nice to meet you guys!" She said, giggling even more. The five other guys were silent for a bit before Tavio finally spoke up.

"N-Nice to meet you too!" Tavio said, smiling up at her. She grinned and messed with his hair.

"Glad to see Eric's making some good friends!" She looked at Eric, with a knowing smile. Eric rolled his eyes a bit, sighing. "So let me have a brief introduction to everyone!"

"This is Solly, Dave, Tavio, Gale, and Karcin." Eric stated, pointing to each boy as he named them. "I met them a few days ago."

"They seem pleasant! I can't wait to get to know them!" She said, looking at each of them. Tavio smiled up at her, Dave nodded a bit, Gale grinned, Karcin shrugged and Solly smiled a bit. Felicity grabbed Eric and Solly's hands and dragged them off towards the dorms. Dave, Karcin, Tavio and Gale soon followed behind them, Karcin yelling at them to slow down.


Later that night, Solly walked out of the dorm and heard the strumming of a guitar and he followed the sound. Lit by only one lamp, Solly saw Eric sitting on a bench, playing an acoustic guitar. Solly started to walk over to him before he heard Eric start to sing to the music.

"Wrap me in a bolt of lightning. Send me on my way still smiling. Maybe that's the way I should go, straight into the mouth of the unknown. I left the spear key on the table, never thought I'd be able, to say I'd merely visit on the weekends, lost my whole life and a dear friend. I've said it so many time, I would change my ways no never mind. God knows I've tried." Eric sang, his voice low and full of emotion, causing Solly's eyes to widen. "Call me a sinner, call me a saint. Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same. Call me your favorite, call me the worst. Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurt. It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way…" Eric looked down as he sang. Solly slowly walked to the nearest tree to listen to him, sitting at the base.

"I finally put it all together. Nothing really lasts forever. I had to make a choice that was not mine. I had to say goodbye for the last time. I kept my whole life in a suitcase. Never really stayed in one place, maybe that's the way it should be. You know I've lead my life like a gypsy. I've said it so many times, I would change my ways no never mind. God knows I've tried. Call me a sinner, call me a saint. Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same. Call me your favorite, call me the worst. Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurt. It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way…" Solly wiped his eyes a bit, feeling tears forming at his eyes.

"I'll always keep you inside, you healed my heart and my life, and you know I tried! Call me a sinner, call me a saint. Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same. Call me your favorite, call me the worst. Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurt. It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way. So, I'll be on my way. So I'll be on my way." Eric slowly finished the music and Solly started clapping. Eric jumped a bit and looked down, scratching the back of his head nervously.

"Amazing…" Solly stated, still clapping. "And no thtuttering." Solly joked, causing Eric to laugh.

"My stutter vanishes wh-when I'm singing. Don't know wh-why…" Eric laughed.

"That thong for anyone in particular?" Solly asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yeah. Felicity…" Eric started. Solly sat next to him and leaned forward, sitting at an acute angle. "Before I met Felicity, I pretty much saw people who… lacked the resources I had as lesser people. I had money and they didn't. That's how I saw it. People hated me because of it. The only people who put up with me was my older brother, Cronus. He put me in my place a few times, but I pretty much kept up the attitude. When I met Felicity, she chewed me out every chance she got. She would take me out to volunteer places and orphanages so I could see how they really live. It opened my eyes a bit, but I still had problems with my attitude. She finally got tired of it and didn't take me to the places of it…" Eric looked down again. "I noticed how much it hurt her, so I broke it off with her. We still talked every once in a while. But when she left I realized what I had and what I lost. So I decided I'd work on my attitude and well, here I am…" Eric finished explaining, looking up at the sky.

"I thee…. I can underthtand that. Anna and I met online. Thhe didn't care about my lithp or my… problemth…" Solly looked down. "When we finally met, thhe theemed more interested in being outthide and I went with her. Thankth to her I went outthide more often. But ath my…. problemth thurfaced, thhe thtayed away from me… Eventually thhe decided that I wath to dangerouth to be around and our relationthip ended."

"Problems?" Eric questioned.

"Well… I'm bipolar… And I can get crazy migraineth that only irritate my mood thwings... I get violent thometimeth. I don't mean too, it jutht happenth…" Solly looked down, biting his lip. Eric's mouth opened a bit, before he bites his own lip and messes with Solly's hair.

"W-We certainly hav-ve our hands full huh?" Eric joked, looking at Solly. Solly looked up at him and laughed himself.

"Yeah. We do."
