Sorry Chapter two took so long for me to get up. School picked up, and i had a big of friend drama going on as well. School is back to normal but sadly my little group of friends is not :( Were working on it though, so hopefully that all ends well. Wish me luck!
The next day Sookie got up, ate breakfast, showered and did all her normal morning things. Then she went into work just before noon.
She went through the day on autopilot constantly thinking about Eric and what would happen later that night.
"Sookie? Is something wrong? You seem a bit off tonight." Sam asked from behind the bar.
"Nothings wrong, I just can't wait to get home." Sookie answered quickly glancing at the clock.
"You're off in five minutes right? Wait for me; I'm coming with you this time." Sam said starting to close the bar.
"You really don't have to do that Sam. Eric is going to be there again, he can look out for me." Sookie answered grabbing her bag and heading for the door.
"Sookie wait! At least let me walk you to your car." Sam called after her.
"All right." Sookie agreed pausing by the door. Sam put down the cloth he was holding and walked with Sookie out to her car.
"Are you sure your going to be alright alone?" Sam asked again.
"Sam, I'm not going to be alone. Eric will be with me, thank you for worrying though but I'll be fine. Eric wont let anything happen to me." Sookie said opening her car door, "See you tomorrow!" She added closing the door and starting the car.
By the time Sookie had got home, it had been dark for three and a half hours and Eric was waiting in his car.
"Good evening Sookie." Eric said after she got out of her car
"Hello Eric." Sookie said walking towards the house, "Do you want to come in?"
"Thank you, I would like that a lot." Eric said from right behind her.
Sookie jumped, "Don't Do That!"
"Sorry." Eric said trying not to laugh.
"Did you here anything about Bill?" Sookie asked when they were inside.
"Yes. He is in the coffin. They nailed it shut with silver nails so he cant get out." Erick told her slowly.
"They haven't rapped it in silver?" Sookie asked, picking up a pillow and playing with it.
"They won't do that until the second year." Eric answered.
"Oh…" Sookie said. She put the pillow down before she ended up pulling the stitches out. Instead, she started fiddling with her hands instead.
"Sookie,' Eric said moving to sit beside her, 'Bill is an old and strong vampire. He will be ok."
"Five years, five years Eric! That's a long time to go without food, gosh, I would die! I know vampires are different but it can't be that different!" Sookie exploded jumping up.
"Sookie please…" Eric tried.
"No! Don't you Sookie me! Five years Eric! And it's all your fault! So don't come into my house and try to tell me that it's going to BE ALL RIGHT!!"
"Sookie, I didn't mean…"
"NO!' Sookie broke in again, 'It IS your fault! You asked me to be there. Forget that, you didn't even ask me yourself! You had to get Bill to do it! And look where it got him! In a coffin for five years!" Sookie ranted, but she didn't stop there. "Bill and I were happy! He loved me, he STILL loves me! And you know what? I loved him back! And what do you do?? The night I find out that he is going to be gone, from you no less, you tell me that I'm your mate?! God Eric, could you have picked a better time?"
Meanwhile, during her rant. Eric was getting paler and paler even for a vampire. When she mentioned loving Bill he looked like he was chewing silver.
"Sookie?"
"Why should I listen Eric? Why?"
"Sookie…" Eric pleaded…
"Sookie Please!" Eric cried one blood red tear sliding down his face. She froze seeing his face and snapped out of ranting and into worry instead.
"Eric? I'm sorry; I know it's not your fault." Sookie said sitting back down beside him on and taking his hand.
"It's not that." Eric forced out.
"Then what is it? What's wrong?" Sookie asked turning to face him.
"You do not accept the bond." Eric grunted.
"Well sure I don't!' Sookie said falling back into her rant, 'I'm with Bill, I love Bill! Not you…" Sookie started talking more to herself then to Eric, "I could still love Bill and accept the bond at the same time. It doesn't mean I have to love you, I guess…right away anyways. Just accept it." Sookie realized.
"Eric! Eric I'm so sorry! I've been an idiot, I wasn't thinking it through. It doesn't mean that I have to love you NOW, just accept it, and accept you. I already do that; I have just been denying it. Lying to myself!" Sookie explained, dropping down to the floor in front of him.
"It's ok Sookie, you're right. Telling you the way I did was wrong. I was not thinking about you, just about me. And it was my fault; I should have asked you myself. I should have done something when he attacked you before bill staked him. I am sorry." Eric replied playing with Sookie's hair as they talked.
"It's not ok; it's my fault to…" Sookie started arguing again.
"Both of us will take the blame then." Eric broke in before she could get going. Sookie nodded and they sat without talking for a moment.
"I can't just forget about Bill." Sookie broke the silence.
"I understand…we will work it out." Eric said getting up, "You should go to bed, it's late. I'll stay for a bit but I have to get back soon."
Sookie sort of glared at him, "You know I hate being told what to do. Your right though, will I see you tomorrow?"
"Yes, I will come back tomorrow night." Eric answered
"Ok, goodnight." Sookie called out walking up the stairs, leaving Eric alone in her living room.
I really can't say when the next chapter will be up. I'll try to get it done A.S.A.P but X-Mass is coming!! YAY
