Fallowed

ch 9

Kevin tapped his foot impatiently. They had been waiting downstairs for an hour and a half. Erin's mother had offered then something to eat but they declined.

" All right! No one takes this long to get dressed." Kevin snapped, looking up the stars leading to the rest of the house.

Wendy sat quietly on one of the over-stuffed couches looking at the various pictures and nic-nax on the coffee table and shelves. she had noticed that the majority of the pictures were group photos, she had also noticed that Ian was in most of them as well, they all looked so happy.

" Are you listening?" Kevin asked.

" Hm, what? Yeah, I heard you." Wendy said distractedly, getting up and walking over to one of the shelves. She picked up a picture, looking it over. It was of Ian and Erin sitting out side, Erin was kneeling behind Ian with her arms around his shoulders kissing his cheek. Ian was smiling looking at her sidelong and blushing slightly.

Wendy smiled, she wished she could fond someone like that. Her smile faded thinking of Jay. She did have someone like that once.

She was pulled out of her thoughts at the sound of a door opening upstairs.

" Finally." Kevin said, looking relived.

Footsteps could be heard over head and coming down the stairs. There was a silence before a slightly flushed Erin appeared at the bottom of the steps, fallowed by a smirking Ian.

Erin took a seat in the couch that Wendy had previously been on. Ian naturally sat next to her, he put his arm around her shoulder and started to absently play with a lock of her hair.

Erin smiled. " Well, since you two are," She cleared her throat. " Still here, I'm assuming you have something important to tell us?"

Kevin nodded as Wendy put the photo back on the shelf and stepped forward.

Wendy opened her mouth to answer but Kevin cut in.

" What the hell have you been doing?! We've been down here forever!" Kevin scolded.

Ian's smirk widened as Erin's face grew darker.

Ian sat on the edge of the couch smiling. " We were-" Erin elbowed in in the side none to lightly. " ...busy." He finished, glancing back at his girlfriend. " What?' He asked he asked with a innocent look.

Erin rolled her eyes and playfully smacked his arm.

Wendy smiled sadly. She missed Jason so much.

" Anyway," She said, clasping her hands in front of her. " Like I was trying to say the last two times we talked, we found out more about this 'thing'."

Ian made a face and stood up.

" For the last time, there is No thing here."

Kevin walked over to where Wendy stood.

" See? I told you they don't care." He said to her, motioning to the two teens.

" But-"

" No, they don't care, they don't want our help!" Kevin stated furiously. " It doesn't matter how much you explain it to them."

" You know what Kevin? Your right, I don't care." Ian stated. " You know why? I don't usually care about fictional theories spawned from mislead paranoia."

Erin watched them continue to argue. she was torn. she didn't agree with Kevin and Wendy but she didn't want something to happen to Ian. There was no one, nothing that she loved as much as him. He was her world, she couldn't live without him.

" Alright, stop fighting you guys!" Erin said, she turned to Wendy. " What do you want us to do?"

Wendy looked at Erin, relived that she was at least somewhat listening.

" All we're asking is that two two stay close for a while." Wendy explained, sitting down next to Erin on the couch.

" Oh, ok, we can do that." Erin said glancing at Ian, who was still arguing with Kevin. " Can't we Zip." It was more of a statement than a question. " Zip."

Ian stopped in mid-sentence and looked at her.

" What? Oh I don't know about that Pip." Ian sighed as Erin made some type of puppy eyes. " Fine, but only until they drop this."

Erin smiled and walking over to Ian and kissing him quickly on the cheek.

Ian smiled back, he loved her so much. He just didn't know what he would do without her. He was willing to do anything for his Pip, even if it meant going with some crazy chick and an idiot jock.

When Ian drifted back to reality he realized that everyone was leaving. Erin stopped and turned to face him.

She smiled.

" Coming Zip?"

Ian nodded not even knowing where they were headed. Sighing he fallowed the others out the door. He just hoped this would be over soon.
