Eric was still quite happy. Even though he had been hit, seeing that Kelly cared about him made him forget the pain. "Kelly, you still care about me, don't you? That man is not a good man. Don't have anything Kelly pointed toward the stairs, signaling for Eric to leave.

He stepped forward, wanting to hug her, but she pushed him away with force,

She looked at him with a steady gaze, her finger pointing toward the stairs.

Eric wanted to step forward but hesitated. "Kelly. I often dream about you. I believe you'll come back..and now, you really have.

Kelly's gaze wavered, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I wish, more than anything that this is all just a nightmare. That when I wake up, we're still by each other's side, just like we used to be, Eric whispered.

Kelly's finger trembled as she wished, just for a moment, that this was all a dream.

A nightmare that she could wake up from.

And when she opened her eyes, her parents would still be there. Eric would be the same Eric as before.

"Kelly, let's go back to the way we were, okay?" Eric stepped forward, slowly pulling her into a hug, tightening his arms around her little by little. "Kelly, I really, truly love you. Before Eric could say anything more, Kelly shoved him away with all her strength.

Kelly's emotions were starting to spiral, and she pointed toward the stairs, glaring at Eric in fury.

Getout!

Don'tshowapagain.

Eric, anxious, tried to calm her down, but seeing how upset she was, he could only back away slowly. "Kelly, please don't be upset. Ill go. I'll leave for now, and when you've calmed down, I'll come back to talk."
