   Why do I love you? pt. 10
Eric stared at the ceiling, trying hard not to cry.

I want him. I know I want him, but he'll just be the same. He'll never change. It's hard to accept, but he never really cared. If he did, he wouldn't be so afraid, would he?

Eric began to cry softly, and the nurse noticed. He came over and sat in a chair by the bed.

"What's wrong kid? Something hurt too bad? Need more meds?" Eric shook his head. "Does this have something to do with your visiters earlier?"

Eric nodded and sighed. The nurse nodded. "Well, if you need to talk about it, I, Nurse Jim, will listen, and don't worry I won't tell anybody."

Eric bit his lip and decided things couldn't get any worse. "Why not? Well, my boyfriend..."

-----to Cati----

Cati dialed her home number, again, to try to get a ride.

Stupid Cody had to leave without me...and I can't get through...Someone's probably on the phone and not thinking about flashing over to the incoming calls...Well, if I must wait, I'll figure out how to get Cody and Eric back in each other's good graces...Nothing better to do anyways....

Cati sat on the curb and closed her eyes, when a car pulled up. She opened her eyes and looked at it. Inside was Cody.

"What are you waiting for? Need a ride?" Cody asked, brow furrowed.

"Yup! Thank you." Cati hopped up and slid into the backseat. "And I'm sorry for cursing you in my head during my entire walk downstairs."

"I apologize for slapping you." Cody said, and his mother looked alarmed.

"You slapped her? Why would you do that?" His mom asked, while at the same time, Cati said, "Wow, you know how to use a big word. Okay, it's cool. You were, um, well, I don't think they've come up with a word for what you were...hehehe. So what do you need now? Last I heard, you wanted me to stay out of it."

"I thought I burned that bridge." Cody mumbled to himself, but Cati heard it.

"Burning anything takes fire, which you don't have much of at the moment..."
