"CAN I PLEASE GO IN
AND SEE MELISSA!!" Eric begged on his hands and knees.
"Eric,
she wont be able to talk to you if you don't give her some rest."
Daley said pulling her leg away from the dramatic blond. Eric sat
there helplessly.
"So what we're just gonna sit here?" He asked.
"Yeah, or you can go
fish-"
"No!" He yelled. He had nothing to do, so he
decided to take a walk. Taylor snuck up from behind him as he was
halfway across the beach.
"Gotcha!" She yelled as she
threw her arms around his neck, Eric was startled and pushed her off.
"Hey!" She yelled.
"Oh..erm...sorry.." He said walking off.
"Your just gonna leave me here!?" She yelled, as she finally got up and grabbed him by the arm.
"What's your problem?" She asked.
"My problem...MY problem!? Everythings always MY problem ITS NO ONE ELSES!" He yelled in her face. Taylor backed away slowly.
"What happened to you?" She asked surprised. Eric ran his fingers threw his hair.
"Look...I'm sorry." He admitted,
"So..you wanna talk about it?" She asked.
"No..I just wanna be alone." He said.
Oh okay...He doesn't
want to talk to me and yet..he talks to Melissa!
Eric got
tired of walking and sat along the beach with his eyes focused on the
outside.
I've talked to everyone...And no matter who I talk to it just feels like its a positive Melissa wont make it...
And it's all my fault.
In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I'll pray to god let her stay
The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why...
He slumped back onto the sand with his eyes glued shut...
All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears.
"Sup." Jackson greeted as he kicked some sand in Erics face. Eric shot up spitting out his sand.
"What you do that for!?" He asked between spits.
"Taylor told me what happened." He said sitting next to him.
"Yeah and?" He asked.
"Your awfully worried about her aren't you?" He asked. Eric didn't say anything, he did his best to keep away from Jacksons face.
"Eric, I believe you and Melissa have a special bond." He said. Then, Eric turned to him.
"How do you know?" He asked.
"Melissa." He answered, Eric rolled his eyes.
"She told me how you two became enimes in school...But how you would secretly go and meet her." He said. Eric smiled and nodded.
"Yeah..None of my friends would aprove of me hanging with someone who forbids flirting in school." He said.
Jackson nodded.
"But...There was
something about her I found interesting."
"Like her
personality?" He asked.
"Yeah...when I would
look at her, I would see someone who could heal millions."
Jackson grinned a bit.
"But she can't even
heal herself."
"No..You gotta give it time." He
said patting Eric on the shoulder.
"Melissa would still lke you even if she were dead." He said.
"One of the reasons I
like about her."
Jackson nodded again, and got up.
"Remember the good
times you had with her." He said, and turned away and walked up
to camp.
"Hey Jackson!" He yelled. He turned around.
"Thanks!" He said waving. Jackson winked and walked up meeting Taylor. Eric smiled to himself and turned around, fining a sunset in front of him.
