"We need to talk when we get home. I need to tell you something" DJ said sincerely.
She hoped it was the same thing she wanted to talk about. She had feelings for DJ. He needed to know incase anything happened to them.
They got home and sat on the sofa "My name is David Johnson. I've been wanting to tell you for a long time" he said.
"I like it" she smiled.
"I'm glad" he smiled back "you look like you have something on your mind".
" I do David. Oh god... I don't know how to say this but.. here goes... I like you, like you" she confessed.
DJ's face wasn't what she was hoping for "oh Erica, uhh I'm sorry. You know you're an amazing girl and my best friend but it can't be more." He said feeling terrible.
"Why? We clearly feel the same things" she exclaimed with a tear rolling down her cheek.
DJ wiped the tear away with his thumb "Whatever I feel isn't relevant. We couldn't have a normal life together and even without the way the world is now, I still couldn't. I've done despicable things and I don't deserve love".
"What happened to make you believe you don't deserve happiness?" She asked.
"There was a girl once, before all this. We were together for ages. I wanted to marry her but I found out she cheated on me with my best friend and it broke me. Then this started and I joined the saviours because I liked the way they lived.It made me feel better hurting others, just like she had hurt me." He explained. "But I had a change of heart and came here to do good but I knew I could never love again".
"Oh David" she said hugging him "I am so sorry you feel like this".
"Please don't be sorry. I'm the one who is sorry for not being able to feel the same way even though I want to so much".
David was broken, Erica was broken.
