I Give my Heart to you on this Crimson Day
What Am I Gonna Do?
Zack’s POV
Erin had just kicked me out and I could tell there was something wrong from the way she moved and talked… her whole presence was off when I saw her. All I could think about was what Brooks had told me… I had to go pay him another visit… my instinct was that Erin was in danger. When I arrived… he was waiting at the door.
“Come to hear me out about her?” He asked and I just walked inside and he grabbed us a couple drinks.
“Erin is off. She just literally kicked me out and told me that she shouldn’t be friends with any of us, that it was for the best” I said and to my surprise he let out a small laugh before he sipped his drink.
“I see the dark coming, something or someone is going to try to control her… it’s so strong” He said and he got serious… it seemed as if what he was seeing was almost painful.
“Is this something to bring to Matt?” I asked and Brooks stayed quiet and was thinking, he had a pensive look on his face.
“Not quite yet…” He said to me and I could tell that he was in his head right now.
“I think things will change, let’s go to rehearsal… just chill and don’t stress” He said and I listened because he had never steered any of us guys in the wrong direction. There weren’t many options currently and so I just had to go with things.
Val’s POV
Michelle was outside at the pool with me and I was working with her on our new line of sunglasses for Saint Owen but my mind wasn’t fully where it needed to be.
“You can’t fool me ya know… I can tell that you are upset Val, spill the beans!” Michelle said coming closer to where I was laying in the sun.
“Erin running off like that really bothered me! She and I were getting along so well and now she won’t even talk to me or answer my texts!” I said getting a little hurt by it.
“Well she did briefly cover that she went through some shit out there and so maybe she just had some stuff she couldn’t let go of and so it overwhelmed her… I don’t think it’s you Val” She said to me and maybe she was right…
“Why don’t you just go over and see her and make sure that she is alright, I think that it would be good for the both of you to just talk it out” She said and she went back to her house and now I knew that she was right so I changed and headed over to Erin’s house and knocked. It took her a minute but she finally answered, her eyes swollen and red.. I could tell that she had been crying.
“Erin I am not leaving until you tell me what is going on” I said to her and she looked horrified, she didn’t answer me, I just walked in and grabbed wine and sat down waiting for her to come to her senses, which she did, only took her ten minutes. She took down all the wine her glass and I realized that it was something pretty bad.
“It wasn’t about me was it?” I asked and she shook her head and pushed her fingers through her hair sitting back on the couch.
“No Val… it wasn’t and I am truly sorry that I made you think it was… I just couldn’t handle or face things that I was thinking about” She admitted and I was trying to see if I could get into her mind a bit but she was like a steel door. I poured her some more wine and I sat back.
“Old boyfriend?” I asked her and she laughed a little.
“Something like that, he made my life hell” She said and I could tell that there was more that she wished she could say… her body language told me that she was forcing it inside though.
“Please talk to me so that I can find out how to help Erin.. I just want to help…” I said and she broke down and just shook her head and she held her chest like she was having a true full on panic attack.
“I don’t need any of you involved… please leave, just go and stop worrying about me, I already told Zack that I can’t be friends with you all” She said and my heart hurt seeing her in this light… and for Zack to know that and not come to me or Matt… there was a conversation to be had… so I left and called Matt, even though I knew he was in rehearsal something was happening and it needed to be addressed.
“Val, what is going on?” Matt answered and I just let out a heavy sigh.
“I think something is happening. I need you all at Erin’s immediately.” I said and hung up on him. I waited around the house till I saw all of them outside and Michelle came out with me and I saw the look on Zack’s face as he glared at me.
“I won’t stand for this, I think there is something first off Zack isn’t telling us and it is regarding Erin” I said and glared right back at Zack.
Third Person POV
Zack and Val were having a showdown… and Zack knew that Matt was going to be angry the moment that he found out he was hiding something.
“I saw something and I warned Zack… I told him not to come to you Matt… I wasn’t sure that it was the right time and I thought the situation would change, but it didn’t” Brooks spoke up and Matt looked between him and Zack.
“Wanna tell me what you saw?” Matt questioned.
“Darkness is coming, it’s related to her…” He replied not going too far into detail about the visions that he was having.
“Darkness? What in the fuck does darkness mean? You know from experiences with me that there is darkness and then there is true fucking darkness” Brian stepped in front of Matt to talk to Brooks, he was about to speak when Erin’s front door opened and she saw all of the group on her lawn, it spooked her and she went back inside, Zack passed by all of us to follow her but Val pushed him away and she went inside to comfort Erin.
Erins POV
Val made her way inside following me to the kitchen and she moved my body to look at her and she looked like she genuinely was worried.
“Erin we want to understand… please just let us talk to you… please” She said and I just motioned for her to let the guys in.. but I never planned to tell the full truth… I still wanted them out of the loop… I had to lie. I went to the living room placing myself in my chair and I looked at all of them ready for whatever they would ask.
“What is truly scaring you Erin?” Matt asked and I looked him in the eyes.
“My ex-boyfriend is the problem, I just don’t deal with it well” I said keeping my emotions at bay. They were quiet for a moment.
“Did he hurt you?” Zack asked and I nodded.
“He did, emotionally and physically, I ran away from Nebraska because of him… so if I seem worried it’s of him ever coming back in my life… so can you all just please respect I don’t need you involved in my mood swings and bullshit…” I said to them in a bitter tone because I had shut down my emotions. But I wasn’t ready for what happened next…
“You’re lying, not only to yourself… but to all of us, you are about to face something you may never come back from Erin… so ask yourself if you would like to walk it alone, or if you would like to have allies” Brooks said shocking everyone, Zack stared at me and saw how expressionless I was…
I didn’t know what I wanted…
But I knew I would never want them to hurt the way that I did… they had too much of a life for that...
