His arms hold me tight against his chest. My head rests under Eric's chin. I don't want to leave him. How can I feel such a deep connection with someone I've barely spent time with? The first two months I spent "with him" were spent in the basement of Fangtasia. My only company being Pam. Maybe company is the wrong word, more like vampire woman that came down to throw food at me. Still it was nice being able to interact with at least her. But to be away from Eric will be hell.
I look up at Eric, blood tears fall from his eyes. "Pam take her to Sookie's. Protect her", he pulls his arms from around me. I move forward to throw my arms around him, but Pam holds my shoulders, pulling me towards a car. I turn my head looking at Eric for the last time. His eyes meet mine, "I love you". Tears burst from my eyes, how can he say that when I'm leaving him. Pam pushes me inside the backseat, sliding in next to me.
Dropping my head into my hands, I bawl my eyes out. Oh Eric, I love you so much. It's crazy how much I love you. Why did Alice have to attack us now, she could have just backed off and left us alone. But no now I have to go away from Eric, and hide out. Hopefully she just stays away, that way I can be with Eric. But I suppose on the bright side I get to see Sookie. I did make some friends while hanging out with her.
I sniffle in my seat, bringing up my knees. Hugging my legs to me, I let my head fall onto my bent knees. Time passes slowly. I hear sigh from Pam, but right now I don't feel like saying anything to her. My eyes grow heavy, I slip into sleep. Dreaming of being with Eric, seeing Sookie and Jason. Visiting Merlotte's to see Sam, Lafayette, and Arlene.
Waking up I feel arms around me. My head is against Pam's shoulder, her chest against my back. The tears on my face have been wiped, a pink lacey handkerchief on her thigh. I don't move afraid that she would get mad if I moved. "I'm not sleeping, I feel you moving", a smirk crosses my face. I whisper sorry and a quick thank you.
She kisses my forehead, but pulls her arms from me. "Eric told me to take care of you", she goes back to being herself. I guess it turns out she doesn't hate me too much. I wonder what Eric is up to. Could he have found Alice already? Maybe he's on his way?
Ugh totally thinking ahead of myself. I look at the clock, hours have passed. We pass building, driving through Bon Temps. When we pull up to Sookie's house, Pam tells me to stay here. She opens the door and disappears. Surveillance, I bet. Minutes later she opens the door. Sookie stands on the porch, as I walk up the stairs. She opens her arms to me, hugging me. "Selena, come in let's get you some food", she smiles at Pam. "Pam, would you like to come in?", Pam shakes her head saying she has to check Fangtasia. "Alrighty then, come on Selena", Sookie walks inside holding the front door open.
Pam stands in front of me. "I will be back, checking in on you, just like Eric said. If you need me, here", she places a phone in my hand. "Stay with Sookie. No wandering off", I smile at her. Nodding my head, she turns disappearing into the night. I walk inside Sookie's house, Sookie is sitting on the couch. She smiles at me and pats the couch.
I sit next to her, she cocks her head to the side. "He'll be back before you know it. Sorry, I just know you aren't too happy about leaving him", I hug her tight. Thanking her for being so sweet. She looks at the clock, "well it's getting late, why don't we get to sleep?". I nod my head.
"Thank you Sookie, I really appreciate you letting me stay here", she hugs me saying it's no problem. I walk into the guest room, pajamas are laid out on the bed. The closet has the clothes I bought last time I was here. Sookie must have hung them in here. They smell clean, and she must have washed them. I open the bedroom door, "thank you for washing my clothes". She yells from her room that it was no problem.
I take a quick shower, then change into my jammies. The window in my room has a chair next to it. I snuggle in the chair, staring out of the window. Wishing that Eric were here with me. A sigh leaves my lips, oh Eric. A song begins to play, I look around. Where is that coming from? I know that song, 'As The World Falls Down' by David Bowie. One of my favorite movies ever.
Then it finally hits me, the phone Pam gave me! I run to the bathroom, there it is on the bathroom counter. Swiping my finger across the screen I pick up the call. "Hello Selena", my heart melts hearing his voice.
