❈ Lime Green Jello ❈

I noticed eric out by the water drinking a beer and laying in the sand alone. i wasnt sure about approching him.. if something was wrong, i didnt want him to take all his anger out on me. im engaged to tom, and im in the most unbelivable mood! i dont want grumpy ol' eric bringing me down. then again, i couldnt live with myself if i left a desperate freind in need. i tapped him on the shoulder. he looked at me and said "well look who it is." now i thought that it had something to do with me. "are you okay?" he looked out to the ocean "im just peachy." i sat down in the sand. "eric, i know you enough to know thats bullshit" he laughed "you think?" i wanted to give up on him, but i COUDLNT! "eric.. i know that your upset about SOMETHING! so can you just tell me?" he looked at his beer and swirled around what was left in the bottle. "its nothing." "eric..." "look-its nothing. its just... cheyenne.. and.. then you and tom-and me and cheyenne ARNT! and... you know!" i didnt know what to say. i knew what he meant, and i cant belive that i didnt think of that on my own. "its nothing to worry about.." he threw his bottle in the water. "eric...no, i understand.. i didnt even think of that. its okay.." he starred at the sand. "i just.. i feel bad. im older than tom! i was with cheyenne before you and tom! i swore i thought that i was gonna get married before tom. TO CHEYENNE! but... shits not working out." i had a hard time thinking of what to say to him. i didnt know if what i had to say would hurt him, or make him feel better. so i decited not to say anything at all. he kept going "hearing tom talk about how much he loves you, and how excited he is about this weeding, and how nervous he is and how he thinks he's gonna embarass himself or fuck up! its not fair! THENN he tries to get me to bring SOME GIRL to the damn wedding! i cant do that! cheyennes gonna see us! i know she has nikki... but that doesnt matter.." i stayed silent. i was kinda hopeing he would stop talking so i can run back home. "im sorry.. this is YOUR wedding. YOUR happy. blah blah blah" he moves his hair out of his face and tucks it behind his ears. "im sorry eric.. i really am." "its not a problem..." i got up and whipped the sand off my clothes. "dont tell tom about this.. okay?" i looked down at eric. "yeah... dont worry about it. secrets safe with me, brother." he laughed "cya" i left the beach and went inside my house.
