Thank you for the views. It is so very hard to put a story into words. Please feel free to review or critique it so I can ️better them or even a good review would be nice aswell.

Erin's POV;

"Landon, just going to go back to my apartment to have a shower, did you want me to drop you off somewhere or..." Please say yes is all I kept thinking. I don't know why but I really want to be left alone. "No that's ok I will come back with you besides I can always scrub your" "Landon don't, don't be like that, say those things. If anything happened last night between us I'm sorry but I can't do it, not this"

"Woah Erin, relax I was just playing"

so u can The whole 20 minute drive home was spent in silence, besides I can't help but think that it was Luke that I saw, I don't remember the moments leading up to the fire I just know that he wasn't very nice to bunny or myself. What if he was alive? And if he was then it's not a good thing that he is here in Chicago, after all these years why here? Why now?

"Urgh, I feel like death" I say while rubbing my temples

"You look like death"

"Really Landon?" I turn and raise an eyebrow.

"Okay I'm going to go up and have a shower, you can come in or stay in the car, completely up to you"

Erin walks up the stairs to the elevator, 14th floor she is on. High enough to see millennium park, high enough to re think her night last night & every night before that. She unlocks her apartment door drops her keys on the kitchen bench and heads for the fridge.

immediately Erin notices the photos of NADIA and herself. "She was so happy" she mumbles under her breath. Erin hadn't had a good cry about Nadia's death at all, the more she holds it in the more she drowns. "I shouldn't be too long" Erin turns to Landon while he gets his line ready to start the day, Erin couldn't believe where her head is at right now, the tap gets turned on her close come off.

As the water runs down her face she can't help but think of Nadia, how much she admired her, the fact that Erin couldn't save her puts herself into shutdown mode. As her breathing gets faster she starts to lose her balance she slowly starts to sit down just as her body has the urge to cry she hears a thump with a few seconds after some glass breaking. immediately Erin stood up "Landon are you ok"

As Erin worries when there was no reply she reaches out to grab a towel to put it around her. Just as she does that the bathroom door flies open "oh Erin, just like your mother" he looks at her with disgust "Luke... But.. "

"Erin, no questions asked. Wow it's like looking at a ghost. You can't be scared of me right?" Erin didn't know what to think or feel "I should be scared of you see as though you wanted me dead. Guess what Erin it's my time for payback"

Erin's POV;

I didn't know what to say. I'm in complete shock after all these years he is alive. "Wait, I wanted. You. Dead?" I say in confusion "what do you mean I wanted you dead"

"Do not play dumb Erin, that card was over played by your mother. Speaking of which how is she? I heard she had a fall. Oh wait that was my fist"

"What did you do!?" My detective instincts kick in "if you've hurt her you have me to deal with"

"What some druggo alcoholic princess, oh please" at that point I felt threatened he reaches for my arm by that point I grabbed his arm from stopping mine and twisted it behind him "you better leave my house right now Luke, I have no business with you" "yes but I have business with you" with that he nods to his partner in which signalled him he pulled out a cloth, Luke had grabbed me and allowed his partner to place the cloth over my face. I feel my eyes getting heavy, my head starts to spin and just like that I am out.

Luke flips Erin over his shoulders and heads down to his car. Forcefully chucks Erin on to the back seat and drives off.
