Joey P.O.V

I hear something down the hall. I'm terrified.

I have to hide my fear. I'm stronger than that!

I walk down the hall and grab my pink bat from the closet. I see a dark figure moving in the shadows.

Holy shit!

I run and turn on the lights, close my eyes, and hold my bat up.

"I don't know who you are but you better leave!"

"Why don't you open your eyes Jo?" Said his voice. How long has it been since I've heard that beautiful voice.

"Eric?" I open my eyes.

I see his face. His face! So beautiful but rigid, like he can cut you down any minute. His skin darker, but light. His eyes brighter, just like the sun. His jet black hair in a lowhawk. His arched eyebrows. His face so happy to see me.

"Yes, why are you staring at me like that?" His half smirk on.

I caught myself. "Because, I haven't seen you in forever!"

I jumped on him and gave him a noogie. He eventually got me off and sat me on the floor next to him.

"Jo, are you okay? Your acting weird. Aha!"

I look down at the carpet. My fingers running through my hair.

Why am I so nervous? I mean yeah, sure, Eric looks good but,...OH MY GODS!

"Eric, it's just-"

"Listen Jo, the reason I came here is to apologize."

"For?"

"For butting in your love life. I realized you...love Michael."

"Bu-"

"And you don't have to worry anymore. I'll still be here to watch you but as a friend." I was rocking back and forth.

"What are you saying?"

"I got a girlfriend-A real one-and I love her."

My lips pursed tight together.

"Why?"

"It just hurt too much to see you in-love with another man."

"Oh."

Then A buzzing sound starts and its coming from Erics back pocket. He takes out his smartphone looks at the screen for a little then looks at me.

"Jo I Gotta Go. Beth is making spaghetti for dinner." Her names Beth?

"Bye."

He gets up and right before he left it looked like he stuttered at the doorknob.

It took me atleast ten minutes to realize that I was sitting in the dark. Knees to my face. Tears running down my face.

How long have i been gone? Not that long.

I got up and went to my room. I layed down on my bed, curled up in a ball, and just died from tears.
