Chapter 20
"So come on Erik, you wanted to talk to me so badly, now's your chance, it's just you and me now." Aubrey said coldly with her arms crossed.
Erik put the car in drive and started to drive, she recognized it was in the direction of the park that they had gone to before. He didn't say anything until he pulled into an empty spot at the empty parking lot.
"I'm still waiting Erik." Aubrey said.
Erik got out and walked over to Aubrey's door, opening it. He reached over and undid her seat belt.
"What are you doing Erik?" Aubrey asked him.
Erik grabbed her hand and started pulling her from the car, to Aubrey's protest.
"Erik let go of me!" Aubrey shouted. "You can't just pull me around."
Erik roughly pushed Aubrey into the swing.
"You don't ever treat me like you did this morning." Erik finally said when Aubrey looked up at him from the swing.
"Well you don't have to worry, because I'm never going to talk to you again." Aubrey said stubbornly.
"Aubrey listen to yourself. You had just told me how many days ago that you loved me, and this is how you treat me."
"Ha! You should listen to yourself Erik. You said the same thing to me, and then the next day you go off and kiss someone else." Aubrey said trying to fight the tears that were threatening to spill down her cheeks.
Erik gently grabbed her hands that were on the swing chains. "Aubrey, I tried to explain what happened before, but you wouldn't let me. I didn't kiss Ashley, she kissed me. She was asking me about the homework, and when I started talking to her about it, she kissed me. I tried to push her off, but she had wrapped her arms around me, and I saw you run out of the classroom."
Aubrey looked at Erik and wanted to believe him desperately. "Erik how do I know you aren't just lying to me?"
"If you don't believe me, than I don't know what to say to you. I've told you the truth, about how much I care for you, and you just decided not to believe me." Erik said sadly.
"Can I just have time to think about everything? This is just a lot of information to process right now." Aubrey asked quietly. She contemplated weather she should tell Erik about Harry and decided to tell him a bit. "Things have changed too. Not just with you, but with me too. Harry was there for me when you weren't, it's like you guys changed rolls." Aubrey said shaking her head from side to side.
Erik took his hands off Aubrey's. "Your cheating on me with him!" Erik shouted at her.
Aubrey looked up at Erik coldly. "I'm not cheating on you because were not dating."
Erik let out a big sigh. "Do you have your cell phone with you?" Erik said quietly.
Aubrey was confused by the question. "Um, yes, why?"
Erik didn't answer, he just walked off. Aubrey sat on the swing for a second before she realized he was leaving her at the park. "Wait!" Aubrey shouted at him as she got off the swing and started to run after Erik, but he was several steps a head of her, and with his long legs he would reach the car before she would.
When she reached the car he was already in it, and had started it up. "You can't just leave me here Erik!" Aubrey screamed at him through the car window. He rolled it down a bit. "You have your phone, call your boyfriend, besides you said you needed time to think, so think." He replied coldly as he rolled up the window and drove off.
Aubrey let out a shriek and kicked at a rock she saw on the ground, but that didn't help her rage. She got out her phone from her back pocked. She couldn't call her parents, she was supposed to be at school, and she didn't want to pull Jane out of classes again, so she was left with no choice but to call Harry.
Aubrey sat on the swing that Erik had left her at when Harry's Luv chugged and puffed into the parking lot of the park. She got up and walked dejectedly to the truck and got in with her head hanging.
"Did he leave you here?" He asked loudly.
Aubrey felt the tears sting her eyes but swore she wouldn't cry about Erik in front of Harry. "I don't want to talk about it, can you just take me back to school?"
"Okay, I can take you back to school, but I don't think you should go back, he might be there, we could go hang out at my house if you want."
"No, I've missed to much already, and I don't want your grandparents to get mad that you aren't at school either."
Harry sighed and put his truck in gear. He reached over and put his hand over hers softly and she shifted a bit. It wasn't that she didn't want Harry to hold her hand, but with the feelings she was feeling at the moment she wasn't in the mood to be connected to people, but she didn't want to hurt his feelings. She did kiss him, then ride to school with him, then leave him to go with Erik. He must be as confused as she is at the moment, so she just sat there.
They didn't talk the whole way to school, to which she was very grateful. "Find me after school and I'll give you a ride home."
"Oh, well I'm going to Jane's house after school, girlfriend time you know." Aubrey said shrugging.
Harry's face fell a bit. "Okay, I'll call you later then." He leaned across the empty seat and kissed Aubrey on the cheek quickly. "Don't let this get you down okay." He asked softly.
I nodded and quickly got out of the truck and almost ran to the class I should be in.
