(A few days later)
The week had actually been pretty decent. Since the Carmen and Electra fall out no one had a fought, fallen out of argued. Well seriously argued. No apart from the general disagreements there had been no actual arguing. Carmen just ignored mostly everyone so there was no reason for anyone to start a fight.
It was mid-afternoon and the sun was shining brightly above in the clear blue sky. Erin was sat on the tire swing outside swinging gently. She was thinking about her time so far at Elm Tree. She had everything she'd ever wanted. Friends. A boyfriend. And a community that accepted her instead of hurt her. That was all she wanted. And that was what she had.
Erin was suddenly distracted from her thoughts by her phone buzzing in her pocket. Whipping it out she saw it was from Rick, Come up to my room Rick xxxxxx
Jumping off the swing Erin ran back to the house and up the stairs to Rick's room. As she pushed open the door she stared open mouthed at the beautiful scene she saw.
Laid out on Rick's floor was a red and white checked picnic blanket with a basket brimming with tiny cakes and drinks. It looked gorgeous. In the middle of this sat Rick with his guitar slung around his waist. "Come here you," He said opening his arms. Erin ran into them as they wrapped tightly and protectively round her waist.
As they both sat down onto the blanket Rick pulled over his guitar and began strumming a tune softly on it. Erin recognised it immediately. "I love this song!" She exclaimed as she began to sing it.
You were in college working part time waitin' tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say "Can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch?"
The moment I can see it.
Yes, yes, I can see it now.
Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter.
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
"You're so talented with that guitar!" Erin said, kissing him. "Well I only learnt that this morning so it was a bit rough," Rick said secretly pleased that Erin loved it. "You learnt that just from me?" Erin said softly. "Maybe," Rick said cheekily grinning. "I love you so much!" Erin shouted, kissing him softly. "I love you too," He replied, smiling.
Aw, who else thinks Erin and Rick are really cute? Thank you SO much for all the reviews means so much that people like my work Thank you! Darci x x x
