Chapter 6

Its been one gruesome year since you've last seen Erik. At first you had no idea what to do. You sat home crying painfully until your mother came to talk to you. Sometimes she yelled. Tried to trigger some emotion to get you out of your depression. Sometimes she cried with you. Held you in her arms told you that it would all be alright and if Erik had a choice he would be with you until the day he died. But he just couldn't. That lasted about 2 months.

After the crying phase there was anger. You would be mad at everything and everyone. You were especially mad at Erik for not preventing such an "obvious" disaster. You were mad because he made you leave him. You were mad at the government for taking him. That was another 2 months.

After 4 months of going back and forth from anger to hurt to betrayal to loneliness you became numb. You couldn't feel anything anymore. Your body was tired of it. Then you got the call.

Apparently Erik was allowed one visitor considering the fact that he wouldn't be able to see anyone ever again. The whole night you tossed and turned anxiously unable to sleep. What if he's changed? Has prison changed him? Would be be upset that you'd never written or tried to see him? Could he really blame you? It was hard for you. Excruciatingly hard. And here you were, hours from seeing the man who has changed your life forever. The man who has made you smile for hours on end with just one thought of him. The man who shattered your world and happiness because of a hatred in his heart. A hatred for your kind. Yes he was trying to save the president but Erik shouldn't have been in Texas anyways.

You hadn't even known he left until he returned. It was just so unclear of what was going on but you knew it was because of his hate.

You turned over to your side and caught a glimpse of the time.

3:17am.

You sighed and pulled the sheets over you hoping to drown out the city bustle outside your window. It never seemed to bother you until now.

You shut your eyes tightly and though of Erik.

Because no matter how he felt or how you felt, he is the only one who can make you happy.

Once 10am came around you were strutting into the highly guarded pentagon.

You rubbed your sweaty palms on your skirt as a guard led you to the elevator.

"Press the button with the P3 and they'll be another guard there to greet you."

He walked off and your stood there staring at the button for what seemed like an eternity.

Things could go so wrong.

Finally you gained the courage to press the elevator button. The doors opened and there was a guard inside to greet you. When you got to the prison floor he escorted you and to two other guards who then walked you to Erik's room.

The room was empty. It surprised and confused you.

You looked down to see a glass floor, and walked over to it.There was the man who held your heart in his hand

"Hi." you said in a raspy voice close to tears.

"Hi."he said back with the corner of his mouth twitching up slightly. A tear escaped your eye and you quickly wiped it away hoping he didnt see.

"Oh please dont cry Ana. I know baby. I've missed you so much i just wish i could touch you. I've wanted to hold you for so long. "

You cried harder.

"This. Is. So. Hard. Erik." you said between sobs. "Its torture seeing you in here. I have been punishing myself just thinking about you and me and how we cant be together. I- I love you Erik. "

"I love you so much more Ana."

"You aren't mad at me?"His brows furrowed, "mad? Why would I be?"

"I..I haven't written or tried to come see you."

He gave a soft smile,"You must've hated me for ruining everything. For bursting our perfect bubble. I know I do. I'm not mad. You're here now, and I couldn't be happier."

You and Erik stayed talking for another few hours before the guards made you leave.

It has never been so hard to say goodbye to someone but at least you and Erik had a pretty good time before you guys were separated forever. It pained you to think that there would be no more late night sneak outs with him. No more Erik using his powers to fly you places. No more of his sweet desperate kisses. No more cuddling. And more importantly no more saying how much you loved each other.
