Chapter 6-

"So..." Erika looked around what used to be the room she shared with Jay.

"I don't think you're an easy skank." Jay said nervously as he looked at his feet.

"Jay..."

"No, listen... Erika, I want you to be happy, I don't want you to be happy with Bradin, but I can't control everything." He looked up to see her staring at him blankly.

"I can't deal with this right now." Erika mumbled as she tried to quickly leave Jay's room. She almost got to the door when Jay's hand grabbed her arm.

"Erika, I'm not going to tell you that I'm okay with you dating him, because I'm not. But I'm not going to judge you about it and I'm not going to stop you from dating him either."

"Oh yeah... and why are you going to do that." Frustration was evident in her voice.

"Because I want you to be happy." Jay stated.

"Well, that's never stopped you before." Erika replied, sarcasm dripping from her words. She tried to leave the room again but Jay's words stopped her in her tracks.

"Erika... I know you're over us... but that doesn't mean that I am." Jay said, his confidence falling by the second. "I love you."

"You what?" Erika stared at him, her expression unreadable

"I- I love you Erika." Jay said more confidently.

"You can't do that to me Jay..."

"Do what?" Jay's short temper was beginning to show.

"You can't just tell me it's alright to date a guy and then tell me that you love me!" Erika's unreadable expression turned to one of anger, frustration, and sadness.

"But I do love you! Do have any idea what it does to me to see you with him?" Jay yelled as he walked towards her.

"I'm not going to do this right now."

"O yeah. You're backing out again! You backed out of our relationship too! That's why you're always with different guys! You're afraid to get involved!"

"Involved with what?"Erika screamed.

"With love! And do you know what that's going to get you. You're going to be alone. You're going to leave Bradin for some guy that you know doesn't really care about you and you're going to end up alone." Erika was crying now. Jays volume went from a yell to a whisper. "Do you love him." And once again, Erika's expression was unreadable.
