Description “Dammit” Erik scoffed as he sat up on the chair and a half beside Jace’s couch.
“What’s wrong?” Jace asked tiredly as she woke up.
“Oh. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you” Erik apologized.
“It’s alright. What’s the matter?” Jace asked once more.
“I just had a dream…” Erik began
“About Curtis?” Jace cut in.
“Yeah” Erik finished.
“What about?” Jace asked.
“We just talked. That’s all. I feel like it’s impossible to talk to him anywhere aside from my dreams” Erik admitted. “And I don’t even know why I bother now, it’s not like he wants me back. Probably for the best too, I‘m meant to be alone…” Erik went on. Jace sighed.
“Erik. Can I tell you a story?” Jace asked. Erik shrugged.
“Sure” he said bluntly.
“*I met a man some time ago. He always traveled. That was his profession, his life, his everything. He went anywhere and everywhere, yet he wasn’t happy. So every now and then, he would make friends. He would let them travel with him. So he wasn’t so alone. And it made him happy. Then, everything would be okay. Even just for a little while..”  Jace paused.
“What happened?” Erik asked in a quiet tone.
“Things didn’t last. His friends outgrew him. They had their fun, and knew it was time to move on, to face reality. And he was alone once again. There was nothing he could do but stay. Stay friendless, stay traveling, stay loveless” Jace finished her story, choking back what sounded like a muffled sob.
“So what does that have to do with me?” Erik asked. Jace sighed.
“If you don’t go and get Curtis back now, you’ll lose him forever. And you’ll be just like him, you’ll end up alone just like that man” Jace stated. Erik looked back at her with sad eyes. “Look. I don’t know your full story, but I have a feeling you and Curtis were made for each other” Jace said as she took both of his hands in hers. “Please…For your sake. For Curtis’s sake…go, be with him” She told him. Erik took a deep breath and nodded.
“Thank you” he said as he gave Jace a hug.
“Now let’s get you home!” She exclaimed
