That same day- at home Eric's perspective
If I was causing stress for her I might as well just left when I could. I cared for her. I even took care of her when she took ill in the future.
I remember it so well. I was walking into my house when my dad stopped me "Son, your mother is sick. Can te take care of her while I go to work?" he asked
I didn't have to answer I went straight into the bedroom. I saw her lying on the bed. She was pale white and her hair was all frizzy. I sat kneeled against the letto "Mother what's wrong?" I asked
She smiled weakly "Oh Eric. It's the horrible choice I made in high school. It arrived finally," she said
I frowned "What are talking about?" I asked holding her hand
She looked straight ahead "Not now honey. Mommy needs to sleep," she detto closing her eyes. She never did wake up. I never got to say that I lov-
"Eric are te coming in?" Tom asked interrupting my thoughts
I nodded and walked into the house and sat down on the divano Tom was sitting on. He turned on the TV.
I was very curious and wanted to know about Tom and Athen's childhood "So did te guys ever te know hang out when te were little?" I asked
He frowned "Oh sure all the time! She even taught me how to get girls. Listen dude I'm pretty sure that siblings don't hang out with each other o play together when they were little," he said
My face flushed "Oh. Are te sure?" I asked
He shrugged "I don't ask Athena. I don't remember that crap. She does. She remembers everything," he said
I nodded. That was true. She never forgot anthing. She even reminded me when it was my girlfriend's birthday and our anniversary.
"Why are te asking this stuff man? Did te ever do that with your siblings?" Tom asked
I looked inoltrare, avanti "Uh no. I am an only child," I detto lying
He nodded "Uh huh sure. Whatever te say man," he said
The phone rang before I had the chance to say "I'm not lying!" Tom got up and answered it.
"Hello? Who is this? Oh why hello my dear. What? Oh fine. ATHENA! It's for you!" he yelled
We hear a faint "I got it!" from upstairs and Tom hung up the phone. I asked Tom who it was and he detto it was Emily. We then heard a loud pitching scream and the sound of feet coming down the stairs "Really? They did? Awesome! Why? Oh wait it doesn't matter. What's that? He's at the mall? Oh my god I have to be there!" we heard Athena shrieking
Athena appeared and the bottom of the stairs phoneless and she quickly got her coat. Before she left she looked at us "If I am not home before mom gets here. Tell her I'm at the mall. Okay Tom?" she asked quickly
Tom hardly looked and mumbled "Fine,"
She glanced at me "You will make sure he does okay?" she asked
I nodded and she smiled "Thanks bye!" she detto disappearing out of the door. We heard a car start and go.
Tom rolled his head to look at me "Dude te are letting her take advantage of you," he said
I frowned and denied it but he kept going "Oh yes she is. She knows te like her so she is taking advantage of that and making te do stuff for her," he said
I stood up "Dude it's just a favor. Let it go. Where's your bathroom?" I asked
He had gone back to watching football "It's uh down the hall. Look and walk straight ahead until te hit a door. That's it," he said
I went down to the bathroom and did my thing. When I was finished I walked in the hallway and found her room. I smiled and pulled out Delor. I entered her room and started going over everything to see if there was anything that made her really sick in the future
Finally I got to the last drawer and I had Lost track of time. I opened it up and faced her drawer of undergarments. I guess I kind of froze there in shock and someone might take that the wrong way.
"Eric what are te doing?" Athena asked from the doorway
I gasped and dropped Delor. He landed on the clothes with a tiny thump. I looked at Athena. She didn't look mad. She almost looked curious and a bit amused "I uh uh uh it was uh" I then bolted out of the room rushing past her and ran out of the house.
As I ran down the strada, via I hear Tom calling after me "How are te going to get home?" he yelled
I panted "The bus!" I screamed
"Eric te forgot your device thing!" I hear Athena shout
I didn't say anything. I just kept running living my dignity and their house behind.

There’s the shadow of a plane
The sound of an engine,
Flying in the rain.
Please, take me away.
Raise my hands to
Touch the sky.
Wish I could fly to the moon,
Maybe tonight.
Feet glued to the street,
I just have to
Reach.
Hey,
Hey, I just heard a plane
Fly over my place
Please, say that magic word
And take me far away?
This is just a short poem, inspired da Erin McCarley's song, "Bobble Head". I find working from songs a good way to cure my writer's block. It gives me a little push in the right direction. So if you're having trouble, try that :)

Darkest light, brightest sight
Midnight sky, Nyx's day
That navy ribbon shall lead the way
Full moon, Selene's sun
It soon shall be the only one...
heres another one
No red,
No yellow,
No blue,
No white,
Nature is gone,
The fiori are dead,
There be no più light,
Black!
Everywhere around.
Scream!
There is no other sound.
All is lost.
And then another:
Fly,
So high,
HIgh as the sky,
Into seeping blackness.
No light is upon us,
And nothing is ever clear.
Diamond bright,
Beauty in there eyes,
The stars are alive.
AND THEN ANOTHER!!!!
Midnight sky,
Burning ice,
No more, no more, no more,
Say it thrice.
Light will be engulfed in a black haze.
We have gone through the Council's faze.
BLOODY HELL!!!!!!
what yu think it means?
yu think its a prophesy?
idk! HELP!!!! i sometimes write poems in my sleep!! i dont memba riting them but they in my handwriting!! TELL ME WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!!

I chanced a glance at you
from across the crowded room
and that was when I noticed
te were looking at me too
we both know this shouldn't happen
its a road we've been down before
and the only way it ever ends
is with te walking out the door
so I wish someone would explain to me
why I'm still rooted in place
staring in the direction
of just another lonely face
my mind is screaming at me to run
while my cuore asks me to stay
for a moment I dont know what to do
and if its a price I'm willing to pay
we both know this is wrong
the Amore that we share
but we also know that wont stop us
because to find this kind of Amore is rare

Lonely Girl
So peaceful in sleep she lies
Brown hair spilled across her pillow
I can picture her beautiful eyes
Looking into her dreams…
She looks like she’s not listening
But really she’s deep in thought
Remembering forgotten memories
When she lived life as she ought
Stolen kisses in the night
Laughing with her friends
Little did she know back then
This is where it all would end
Her cuore is filled with regret
Always looking back
She wishes she would just forget
And find happiness once più
I don’t think she’ll ever forget you
But for now there’s joy on her face
She keeps reminding herself
It’s not a race, to be the first to find your place
Now as the sun goes down
She’ll say a prayer
Wishing perhaps for you
But really, life’s not that fair
There’s nothing this Lonely Girl can do
So peaceful in sleep she lies
Brown hair spilled across her pillow
I can picture her beautiful eyes
Looking into her dreams…
She looks like she’s not listening
But really she’s deep in thought
Remembering forgotten memories
When she lived life as she ought
Stolen kisses in the night
Laughing with her friends
Little did she know back then
This is where it all would end
Her cuore is filled with regret
Always looking back
She wishes she would just forget
And find happiness once più
I don’t think she’ll ever forget you
But for now there’s joy on her face
She keeps reminding herself
It’s not a race, to be the first to find your place
Now as the sun goes down
She’ll say a prayer
Wishing perhaps for you
But really, life’s not that fair
There’s nothing this Lonely Girl can do
