Hey, everyone! I am so sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I was busy with work, then I went on vacation and then school started. I have tests and projects due already. I have a little bit of a break so now I'm going to write as much as I can.
I own nothing. Everything belongs to Veronica Roth
Angela's POV
The drive to the restaurant was filled with awkward silence. I was so nervous about tonight. I had no idea if Eric's parents would accept us being together. I was look out the window wondering what was going to happen tonight, when I felt a hand rest on my thigh.
"Calm down. They will love you." Eric says.
"I'm just nervous. What if they don't like me?" I ask.
"They will love you." Eric says.
I sigh and continue to look out the window. Once we get to the restaurant, Eric parks the car and runs over to my side. He opens the door and helps me out of the car. We walk inside and see Eric's parents and sister at a table in the middle of the restaurant. We walk towards the table and greet them.
We talk while deciding what to order and Eric's parents order a fancy bottle of wine. I order water and so does Eric.
"You can drink, I'll drive home." I say.
"No way. I don't want to drink and then be too drunk to enjoy having my way with you tonight." he whispers in my ear.
I giggle and turn my attention back to the menu. I decide to get the stake and I see Eric looking at me with a smile. He leans in and kisses me sweetly on the lips.
"Eric?" I hear someone ask.
We break the kiss and he looks over his shoulder to see a woman with long dark brown hair coming towards our table.
"Hey Monica. I haven't seen you in a while." Eric says.
I frown. He knows the girl and she knows him. I wonder if they slept together.
"Yeah it's been a while. Mr. and Mrs. Coulter. Erin. You all look nice." she says with a smile.
I kick Eric in the knee and he looks at me like he doesn't know what's going on. I look at Monica then back at him so he get the picture.
"Oh. Monica, this is my girlfriend Angela. Angela this is Monica." he says.
"Nice to meet you." I say holding out my hand for her to shake it.
"Nice to meet you too." she says shaking my hand.
I start to feel some tension off of Eric. The feeling seems like he doesn't want her here. I know we haven't talked about past relationships but now I think we need to have that talk. I haven't been in many relationships before but now I feel like I'm being used.
"Well, I'll let you get back to your dinner. Just wanted to come by and say hi. It was nice seeing you all again and it was nice meeting you Angela." she says before walking away.
I look at everything in the room besides Eric. I know something happened between them but I need to ask him privately. I excuse myself and go towards the bathroom. I go into one of the stalls and lean against the stall door. I should just drug him with truth serum so I can find out the truth.
"Angela?" I hear Erin ask as she comes into the bathroom.
"I'll be out in a minute." I say.
I sigh and open the stall door and walk out. While I wash my hands, I hear Erin say "Don't worry about her. She always go running to him when she's in a relationship that's failing. They've been hooking up for years."
After she says that, I freeze. I never would have imagined him going back to her every time he wanted to have sex. I finish washing my hands and dry them. I definitely need to talk to him about Monica after tonight. I follow her out of the bathroom and back to the table. I sit next to Eric and smile at his parents.
As our food arrives, Eric's parents ask me where I'm from and about my family. I feel Eric put his hand on my thigh and I push it off. He looks at me confused but turns back to his parents. I feel like I can't trust Eric anymore, now that I know that he will just go back to Monica after he's done with me.
After dinner is paid for, we say goodbye to Erin and his parents. We walk back to the car and drive back to dauntless. Once we get back to dauntless, I walk straight to his apartment and wait for him to open the door. Once we are inside, I wait until he has his jacket off and he turns back to me before I slap him across the face.
"What was that for?" he asks.
"I should have known that you were just using me. Everyone was right and I should have listened to them." I say with my hands on hips.
"What are you talking about?" he asks.
"You're using me to make Monica jealous." I yell.
He looks at me shocked and asks "How do you know about me and Monica?"
"Your sister told me. I can't believe that you are using me just to make some other girl jealous!" I yell.
"Look, Monica and I haven't seen each other in months. Yes we use to hook up but after a while we just decided to not see each other and see if we could get in serious relationships." he say walking towards me.
I walk away from him and over to the window. I have never felt this heartbroken before. I turn to him and say "I can't do this anymore."
"What does that mean?" he asks angrily.
"You lied to me when you told me there was no one else. I gave myself to you and you lied to me. You told me you slept with a lot of women and I assumed that you haven't been in contact with any of them. I can't be around you right now." I say walking towards the door.
"Babe wait-" he starts saying but I slap him across the face again.
I walk out of the apartment and run to my door. I open the door and lean up against it. I start sobbing uncontrollably. I have never been so betrayed by anyone. I hear him walk up to the door but then I hear him walk away. I guess he is giving up on our relationship. I stop leaning against the door and open it. I look down both ways of the hall to see if Eric is anywhere but I don't see him. I walk out into the hall and walk to the apartment I knew I could go to.
I knock on the door. I wait a few minutes and then the door opens.
I look at my feet and say "You guys were right about Eric."
Eric's POV
I can't believe this is happening right now. She just slapped me like some of the other woman I have slept with have. But hers felt like I was punched in the gut. I go to her door and about to knock when I hear her sobbing. I never thought I could hurt her that much. I'll let her calm down before I talk to her.
I walk towards the garage and get in my car. I drive out of the garage and start driving towards Erudite. Once I get to my sisters building, I march up the stairs to her door. I pound my fist on the door before she opens it.
I walk past her and ask "What were you thinking?"
"What?" she asks closing the door.
I towards her and ask "Why did you tell Angela about me and Monica?"
"I thought you already told her." she says crossing her arms. She sees the look on my face and asks "What happened?"
"She slapped me across the face twice and said she couldn't do our relationship anymore." I say running my hands through my hair.
"She is obviously angry that you didn't tell her about Monica." Erin says walking over to the fridge and getting a bottle of water.
"She thinks I'm going to dump her and go back to Monica." I yell.
Erin face pales and says "Are you?"
"Of course not. I care about this girl so much that I think she might be the one!" I yell.
"Then go back to dauntless and tell her that!" Erin yells.
I know she's right and I know I have to fix this. I leave the apartment and go back to my car. I drive back to dauntless and park the car in the garage. I get out of the car and walk to Angela's apartment. I punch in her code and walk inside. I don't see any sign of her in the living room so I go to the bedroom. I walk into the room and see her in her pajamas sleeping. Her eyes are red and puffy like she was crying a lot. The fight was two hours ago but now I feel like I should have tried harder to make sure she knew I wasn't going to leave her. I take off my clothes so I'm left in my briefs and get into bed with her. I know she won't' forgive me so easily but I will do whatever it takes to let her know what she means to me.
Again sorry it took me so long to update! I'm back and will try to update more! What do you think will happen with Angela and Eric's relationship? Will Eric propose to Angela at some point? Will Angela forgive Eric? Will Monica show up again in the future?
Review Please!
