*** { Two Hours Ago Before Elle Snuck Into Erick's House… } ***
After Bryan left, Erick headed straight to his bedroom. He stumbled to the corner of his room beside his bed. He slumped his body to the cold floor, sitting while leaning his back on the side of his bed.
His head was throbbing in pain. A wave of heat coursed through his body. The fever came fast, robbing Erick of his strength. But that's not the only thing he was experiencing right now.
His eyes sunken, having a wan and sullen expression. Everything ached- his body, his mind, and his heart. Tonight was one of his darkest nights.
He sniffled quietly, then a single drop of grief welled up from the corner of his eye. He was alone, no one could see his vulnerable side right now so he let it all loose.
