(She gets frustrated and just picks up a pink one shouldered shirt that has sheer areas in it and in the center a black star can be seen. Her stomach can be seen very clearly. She sits down and begins to lace up her boots when she hears a knock at the door.)
Erin: Its open... just come in.
The door opens slowly to show Slash Tannon in the doorway, wearing a pair of dark jeans, black hiking boots, a black muscle shirt, in addition to his black trench coat and black sunglasses. He doesn't say anything, instead just watching as Erin finishes lacing her boots.
Erin: (She turns around and sees the face of Slash Tannon) Oh (She gets up and starts to clean up her room and put stuff away) Hi Slash... Why are you here?
Tannon (slowly): I'm sorry...is this a bad time?
Erin: No it�s just after what happened and since I haven�t seen you in awhile.... I kind of didn�t plan on seeing you. Thought I wouldn�t see you...more like that. Because I know you can�t stand to look at me anymore. (She continues to put stuff away and try to avoid eye contact with him.)
Tannon walks over and puts his hand over hers, stopping her from the cleaning.
Tannon: It will never get to the point where I can't look at you Erin.
Erin: Slash... I highly doubt that. (She walks over to a mirror and begins to brush her hair.)
Tannon stands behind her as she brushes her hair.
Tannon (slowly): Look, I just came by to say good luck in your try out match today.
Erin: Is that all you came by for? (She turns around and looks at Tannon)
Tannon: No...I mean...yeah, I guess that was it. I'll...let you get ready I guess. (He turns to leave the room)
Erin: (She grabs his arm and lets go when his attention is on her) Stay Slash... Please... I don�t know exactly what you came here for but I missed you and I still have time before my match. We need to talk and you avoiding me doesn�t help. But if you must leave I won�t force you. (She sits down on the leather couch and looks at him)
Tannon slowly pulls his sunglasses off and puts them in his trench coat before sitting down next to Erin on the couch.
Tannon (slowly): Ok...let's talk.
Erin: Slash...... all I want you to do is forgive me and I know it�s hard. I just want you and having this time to think, has made me realize what a horrible person I was to you. I know it and you know it, I�m not good enough to be with you. You have all those girls that want you and I�m tying you down. We are from two different worlds but somehow it worked. And I want that again... but I might just be a person that you see and nothing more and I can�t handle that. We need to be together.... (She places her hands over his). I was horrible and I know you are so angry at me and I�m angry at myself for ruining such a great thing I had. But please.... being without you for these past couple of days was horrible. But like I said... I did something horrible and if u can�t forgive me then that�s it.... I can�t argue.... because I screwed myself. And that would be my punishment... not being with the person I love.
Tannon (holding her hands in his own): Look...you hurt me a lot when you kissed Chris but I am not looking to move on with anyone else. I love you Erin and I always will. If there is anybody in this world who I am meant to be with, it�s you. I just...I just don't know if I can get beyond this. I want to...I just...I just don't know.
(She pulls away her hands and looks away. Tears can be seen in her eyes. She gets up and tries not to look at him. She then gets the courage to look at him.)
Erin: That hurts to hear you say that. I�m sorry but there is only so many times I can say I�m sorry before it begins to mean nothing. I don�t know what else to do. I love you so much and I can�t have you. I seems like no matter how many times I apologize it doesn�t help. Like you don�t believe me. Do you?
Tannon (slowly): The problem I have is that Chris spoke to you...he spoke before he pulled you in there. You did not notice that it wasn't me...you just ignored his voice. It just makes me wonder if maybe deep down you knew it was Chris and...Maybe you wanted him and not me.
Erin: Slash.... I don�t know... I don�t think I was thinking. I didn�t realize it. I don�t want him... It�s over between us. I dumped him for a reason and now he makes me hate him so much more. What can I do to prove to you I want you? I wasn�t ready for a relationship with him but I am with you. I feel so safe when I�m with you and it just feels right. Seriously Slash... It�s up to you.... I just don�t know what else to say. I feel like it�s not even being heard anyway. (She sits down on the far end of the couch and stares at the wall so she cannot see him.)
Tannon (slowly getting up and putting his hands gently on her shoulders): I hear you...I guess I just have a lot to think about.
He kisses her gently on the forehead before stepping back, a hand still on her shoulder.
Tannon: I'll let you get ready for you match.
Erin: I am ready Slash... Plus I have to go now. Just one thing though. I just hope you trust me again and when you love someone you just tend to trust them.... and if not... then just to try.
She gets up and kisses him on the forehead and leaves the room. Scene ends with Tannon standing there alone.
