Homecoming Disaster
Jakes' POV
When me and Erica got to the school I paid for our tickets and we went into the gym and danced for a couple of songs. The band took a intermission so I went to the bathroom to freshen up. I went in and washed my face. I heard a voice coming from one of the stalls. Well look who lived the stabbing, I heard about it on the news how it was a miracle that you got brought back, what do you want Jesse, oh I already got what I wanted, no you didn't Erica is still with me, when was the last time you checked on her 5 minutes ago. I walked out of the bathroom and searched for Erica, I couldn't find her so I went back into the bathroom and saw that Jesse left. Shit I said out loud, I went around the hallways and through the school looking for her. I called Benny since he came alone. Hey Benny, what's up Jake, I can't find Erica anywhere, where are you Benny asked, I'm in the hallway by the main entrance, alright I'll be there in a minute. When Benny got here me and him went outside and looked for Erica. Have you tried texting her Benny said, no but I guess it can't hurt, I texted Erica and waited a minute or two, no response.
I tried calling her, it rang a couple of times before I got a answer, Erica said come outside then hung up. Me and Benny walked outside and saw Erica right beside Jesse. So what now I asked Jesse, well I got my beauty queen Erica by my side, so now that she's under my control I'll have her hold you hostage while I deal with Benny here. I looked to Benny and asked if he'd be alright on his own with Jesse, he nodded. Erica was running towards me so I had no choice but to run. Erica was right behind me. Her vampire side was showing, I stopped catch my breath when I realized Erica had backed me into a wall. Erica snap out of it he has you in a trance, no Jake he doesn't but Jesse is not that bad of a guy, yes he is. I ducked under her arms and made a run for the woods. I ran behind a tree and tried to control my breathing. Erica was yelling out my name. I felt my face and saw that I was bleeding. Erica ran up in front of me, alright you win; she smiled and said I always do. She grabbed me and flew me back to where Jesse and Benny were, Jesse was nowhere to be seen. Benny did you beat him I asked, yea he's gone for good. I looked at Erica who no longer was a vampire, I looked at Benny then to Erica, I can't do this anymore, I'm done. What do you mean you're done Erica said in a concerned tone, we're not going out anymore, as in I'm not your boyfriend anymore. You know what fine if that's how you want it I don't ever wanna talk to you again.
Monday
History was usual except me and Erica weren't on speaking terms. Our teacher assigned us a project, on the way to English I texted Erica saying that I'd do the whole project and all she had to do what right her name.
Tuesday
The project was easy I already had it done, all I had to do was have Erica sign her name but she wasn't at school.
Wednesday
Once again Erica was a no show, the project was due next Monday and all she has to do is sign her name or we both fail.
Thursday
Still no sign of Erica, now I'm starting to get pissed.
Friday
After school I went straight to Erica's house, she answered, I held the project out in front of her with a pen and said sign it, and once she did I left. When I got back home and got on my computer. I saw this wmv (windows movie video) that said summer. I clicked it on it and watched it. Most of it was about me and Erica, there were a lot of pictures where we were smiling or kissing or having fun. I skipped through those parts and got to the pictures of me, Benny and Ethan. Most of the pictures we're of us hanging out playing video games or eating pizza. At the end of the slide show there was a video of a sleepover at Ethan's featuring me and Erica. Benny was recording and when he got to us he said "and the two love birds are sleeping peacefully in their nest of blankets and pillows" then the video ended.
Saturday
I got on Facebook and saw Erica had changed her relationship status to its complicated, I changed mine to single. I knew Erica saw my status because once she did she changed hers to single.
Sunday
I watched TV most of the day, mostly Syfy and their horror movies. While I was watching I started daydreaming, as soon as I started thinking about Erica I thought about something else. I need to get her out of my head. My brain says forget her, but my heart says keep her.
Monday: English class outside
I was working at a table with Erica, I finished my work early and saw her struggling, so I looked at her and said here and handed her my work. She took it and started copying; I swear I saw sadness in her face. That's when I decided to tell her, Erica I'm sorry I said to her, she looked up at me about to cry. Don't be she said trying to hide her sadness, no I am I said taking her hand in mine. Every day that we were apart was hell, I tried and tried to forget it but I just can't, my mind keeps running back to you and you only. Please forgive me, she started crying and nodding at the same time. I didn't know if she was nodding to say that she forgives me or if she's just like shaking her head in a weird way. After school I got a ride to her house where I just hugged her and kissed her for hours. She fell asleep in my arms probably tired from all the crying she did. I realized that I made a mistake, she's the only one in my life right now that's really important, and you can't buy love even if you have all the money in the world, you earn it. We both fell asleep on her couch in each other's arms.
