Chapter 5

Authors note: Hey guys, im sooo sorry that I haven't updated for a while, but the truth is, it was writers block. But, a huge thanks to my friend Jodie who helped me brainstorm some new ideas. Anyway, I promise I won't make you guys wait that long again :)

I was deep in thought about what has happened yesterday with Damien as I walked to class, the cold night air lifted my hair around my face as I noticed a dark figure not far in front of me. I peered through the darkness and noticed that it was Erik; I instantly got nervous as I approached him.

'Hey, Erik, what are you doing standing out here? We have class in 5 minutes.' I said cheerfully. He turned to face me and gave me a cheeky but sad looking grin;

'I wanted to talk to you actually, in private.'

'Oh.' Was all I managed to say. He took my wrist and pulled me towards a large tree, sitting in the darkness away from the building lights.

'So wats up?' I said casually, trying to ignore the way the moonlight made his face look perfect, not that it already didn't look perfect.

'Well,' He started, whilst playing with a piece of grass. 'It's complicated; I don't know how you will take this.'

I smiled and looked up at his face; 'You can trust me, whatever it is.'

He laughed half heartedly and looked down at the grass before starring right into my eyes. 'Zoey, did I ever mention how beautiful your eyes look in the moonlight?'

I blushed and looked away. Zoey you have a boyfriend, Zoey you have a boyfriend repeated over and over again in my mind. I tried to get back on track, 'What's wrong Erik?'

'Well I don't know how to tell you Zoey, I haven't told anybody before.'

Oh god oh god I thought, Zoey you have a boyfriend, you made out with him last night after he came out of the closet for you, and then he hid in the closet for you. 'You can tell me Erik.'

He nervously looked away and seemed deep in thought. 'Well, the truth is,'

Zoey! If he tells you that he likes you , you are going to pretend that a big spider fell on your head and you must get to the closest fire extinguisher to kill it, got it?

Before Erik could finish what he was about to say, a rustle in the leaves of someone approaching stopped him.

'Zoey, zoey is that you?' I heard Damien call.

'Yes Damien over here under the tree.' I yelled. He walked right up to Erik and me and as I thought he was about to sit down he unexpectedly picked me up by the waist and held me in his arms. His lips pressed down on mine with passionate force.

'I, w,was talk,king to Erikk.' I mumbled in-between his lips. I pulled away from his kiss to see that Erik had disappeared from where he was sitting. I turned my head around and noticed him storming off to class. I slapped Damien on the shoulder, 'That was rude.'

'Sorry,' He mumbled before kissing me again, 'I didn't notice him.' He carried me in his arms to class as I thought how much that must have of hurt Erik. What if he really was about to tell me that he loved me? Would Damien care if Erik told everybody that we were a couple now when everybody thinks that Damien is gay? What would Steavie- Rae and the twins think! 100 questions ran through my mind, I worry too much, I told myself. The only thing that matters is that Damien loves me, and I love Damien.

I'm in for a shock.
