Chapter 6

“Eric!” Christen gasped in surprise. She had walked into her apartment after Roxie had dropped her off, wanting to take a shower and go to bed. She was surprised to see Eric in her apartment playing with her giant cat stuffed animal. “How did you get in here?” she muttered with wide eyes. It was creepy to her to see him in her apartment. If it were Joey though, that would be a different story.

“Christen.” He looked up from the stuffed animal and scowled a little. “You left the door unlocked again. You really got to start remembering to lock that. Well now that you're here, come and sit next to me.” He beckoned her over. Christen kept staring at him in return. She wondered to herself if just because the door was unlocked, he thought that was an invitation for him to just walk in. She then puzzled over how he knew she was often forgetful of locking her door. She answered the first question in her mind; he did not have a right to come in like he owned the place. The second question, however, troubled her a lot. This only brought her more questions. She slowly walked over and sat next to Eric. While doing so, she asked herself, "Had Joey told him she was always forgetting to lock the door?" That did always make Joey so worked up. Was Eric just stalking her? She thought about Roxie. She hoped she was wrong.

“Eric, I would appreciate you not just walking into my apartment like that. You know how creepy that seems on my end?” she asked him, giving him a stern stare. “Why are you here anyways?”

“I wanted to see you. I didn’t mean any harm by it... just sometimes I forget I can’t do things like before.” Eric sighed heavily before looking up at her with hauntingly deep eyes. “I am here because I wanted to congratulate you. You are finally in an art gallery and left everyone in awe. I knew you could do it.” He took a hold of her hand. Again, he was showing signs of Joey like last time Eric was acting so strange. This perplexed her to no end. What did he mean he "...wanted to see her?" Did Eric suddenly have a thing for her? Can’t do things like before? Christen tried desperately to figure out what was he trying to say. Christen's head filled with enough questions to make her head spin.

“I thank you for coming to congratulate me, but you leave me for a loss. What do you mean that you can’t do things like before?” She stared at him. Her eyes were wide and confused. Eric sighed at her expression as he took a hold of both of her hands. He stared into her confused eyes. It felt as if he was digging around inside her soul.

“As much as I want to, there are things I can’t do anymore. It saddens me to have to watch you from a distance,” he whispered.
