There she was. Her beautiful long golden hair draped across her shoulders as she sat hunched over her desk. Her back quivered and shaked as she openly cried. Eric opened the glass door and sat on a chair next to Calleigh and pulled her into him.
Uncontrollable tears ensued as Calleigh fell into his strong, protective arms. She could feel his hands smoothing her hair down her back. She hadn�t let herself go in such a way since�well as long as she could remember. It was a good feeling. To not be the strong, responsible one for a change, to let it all go. Only with Eric would she have that feeling though. He was her knight. As corny as it sounds, it was true.
Seeing his love in so much pain was hard for Eric. He had never seen her like this. Even when her dad is drunk or anything, he�d never seen her show any other emotion than �chipper�. It was a whole new side that he couldn�t help but fall more in love with. �Its OK� he told her.
�Why Eric? Why Speed?� She asked shakily.
�I-I don�t know� I wish it were me in his place.. So you wouldn�t feel this way�
Calleigh sat up, shocked �I would be worse if it was you�.
Delko looked into her big blue eyes. The author of that old adage that eyes were windows into the soul, must have met Calleigh went he wrote that. They were mesmerising. He could look into them all day. The best part about them was that he could tell that she wasn�t lying. She really did have feelings for Eric.
He feels it too! Her face must have registered her delight, because Eric was leaning in. She leant in to.
Calleigh closed her eyes. She had dreamt of this moment so many times, she wanted to remember it forever.
Their lips touched.
