The Odd World Of Erik And Curtis

One dark and stormy night a young man was walking in the rain when a reckless driver swerved into the lot next to young man almost hitting him. The young man looked up at the driver and asked “Who the hell are you! And are you crazy you almost hit me!?” The driver said “Sorry but I saw you and do you need a ride?” The young man looked at the driver with a “You-almost-hit-me-and-you-want-to-give-me-a-ride?” look. The driver held out his hand and said with a smile “The name is Curtis” The young man asked “you don’t have a last name?” Curtis smiled and said “No I shortened my name.” “The name is Erik nice to meet you Curtis” Said Erik in the middle of a bow. Erik looked a Curtis and Curtis said “Don’t worry about getting the seat wet!” Curtis read Erik’s mind then Erik got in the beat up old Crimson car and casually and shut the door. “So Erik where are you heading to?” Curtis asked as he pulled out of the lot. “Nowhere.” He said sadly Curtis look at Erik with wide eyes. “NOWHERE the hell your talking about?!” Curtis asked “I was kick out of my house…” before Erik could finish his sentence he fell asleep. Curtis looked over at Erik and Drove to the store with Erik sill asleep. Curtis drove Erik to his house. When the car stop and Curtis pulled out the keys Erik wakes up. “Hello Sleepy. Do you mind helping me with the groceries?” Curtis asked Erik nodded sleepily and got out of the car to help Curtis. After they finished Curtis said “Wait I think I have a new outfit for you since your is soaking wet Erik!” Erik nodded and Curtis went in to his room. Erik followed Curtis in to his room. He said “You d-don’t have to C-Curtis I was G-Going anyways.” Erik was about to cry he never fell welcomed at anyone’s house. Erik walked to the door and Curtis tackled him to the ground and said “Sorry! But you said you have nowhere to go right?” Erik started to cry and yelled “YOU WANT ME TO STAY SO YOU CAN TACKLE ME?! HUH CURTIS!?” Curtis looked scared but don’t answer Erik’s question. Erik said pissed-off still crying “ANSWER ME CURTIS! DO YOU WANT ME TO STAY!?” Curtis felt bad and started to cry and said “I’m Sorry Erik I won’t do it again I just want you to be safe.” Curtis got off of Erik and went in his room Erik flowed Curtis to his room. Curtis looked around his room and fond a long-sleeve Black and white striped shirt that looked like it had seen better days and a pair of black jeans with the tags still on them. “The bathroom is down the hall and to your left. Ok Erik?” Erik was still mad at Curtis and walked to the bathroom. Curtis waited in his room for Erik. Three minutes later Erik came to Curtis’s room to look if the outfit fit since the bathroom didn’t have a mirror. Curtis looked at Erik and than pulled out a dusty old 18th century mirror. Curtis dusted it off so Erik could see himself. Curtis asked “What do you think?” the shirt was a little long at the sleeves but nothing rolling up the sleeves can’t solve. The pants fit perfectly on Erik. Erik said “I like it. You don’t like Strips do you Curtis?” Curtis nodded than asked “Hey Erik do you like scary stuff?” Erik looked at Curtis like he was crazy and asked “What do you mean?” Curtis said “Tombstones and stuff like that.” Erik nodded Curtis told Erik to follow him, Erik obeyed. Curtis stopped and said “I need you to help me move these Tombstones ok?” Erik helped Curtis move the Tombstones. After two hour and still have not moved all of Tombstones they said at the same time “Screw this!” They looked at each other confused and laugh at each other. “Curtis do you care if I read a little before we hurt ourselves trying to move all these Tombstones?” asked Erik “No I don’t. The last thing we need is a huge bill at the Dr. Offices because we snapped our backs!” laughed Curtis Erik went to the living room and sat on the dark purple almost black armchair and look though his book bag to find his book and yelled “NOOO!” Curtis heard Erik yell and ran in to living room from his room and asked “What wrong Erik?” “I left my book at the house!” Curtis looked at Erik like he was crazy and said “I thought you fell or some thing like that that’s why I though you yelled for not about you not finding a little book, we’ll get it tomorrow Ok?” “Ok.” Said Erik sadly. Curtis looked at the clock it said it was 10:00P.M. But Curtis knew it was behind by an hour. Curtis looked over at Erik who was fast asleep. Curtis picked up Erik and put him in the spare room. … Erik was shaking so hard he had to hug himself to claim himself down so he could see the clock. He looked at the clock and it said 3:00A.M. This one was right with the right time it was 3:00A.M. He must have yelled in fear because Curtis was knocking on Erik’s door really hard Curtis said in a voice that sounded worried “ERIK ARE YOU OK, PLESE OPEN THE DOOR ERIK!” Erik sat on the bed still shaking so Curtis kicked the door and it flew open hitting the wall. Curtis saw Erik on the bed and shaking he asked quietly “Erik what happened and are you ok?” Erik was too scared to answer he just sat shaking in the dark. Curtis turned on the lights to see what happened. Erik was bleeding! Curtis sat next to Erik trying his best to calm him. Curtis saw Erik’s arm had a big cut like he cut it with a knife. In Erik’s other hand was a pocket-knife covered in blood. Curtis hugged Erik knowing what he had done. Erik dropped the knife on the bed and in two minutes the sheets got pink in that area. Curtis grabbed a towel that was one the floor and wrapped Erik’s Arm in it. Erik looked like he had seen a ghoul he was drained of color; Curtis asked Erik “Why did you hurt your self Erik why?” Erik was crying because he knew he did wrong. Curtis left Erik’s room and went to his room to get something and came back to Erik’s room with a stuffed toy bat. “Her name is Charlotte. She helps me wean things get rough she is old so please be careful with her. If you get blood on her I will wash her myself. I know a 35 Year old man looks dumb having a stuffed toy bat in his house but I can’t let her go just yet!” Curtis said and handed Charlotte to Erik. Erik grabbed Charlotte and lies on the bed and fell asleep. Curtis left Charlotte and Erik asleep in Erik’s room. He went to his room and fell on the bed face down and fell asleep like that. The next morning at around six Curtis was up and getting into one of his outfits for the day. The outfit was made up of a White under-shirt; a flannel vest with a logo of two spoons crossed and underneath it said Cereal-Killer, and a pair of old ripped jeans that look like they are going to fall apart at the seams. Erik was still asleep and Charlotte was still in his arms. Curtis quietly walled in to Erik’s room and walked over to Erik and gently shook him. He looked at Curtis and got up to a sitting pose he was NOT a morning person but Curtis was. Erik handed Curtis back Charlotte she was wet but not with blood it was drool. Curtis said in a motherly voice “Just tell me wean you want her and I will get her for you. Ok Erik?” Erik nodded in response and both Erik and Curtis walked over to the kitchen and Curtis made Breakfast for the both of them. Erik had his head on the table and almost fell asleep again but Curtis woke him up.” Stay up Erik!” Erik looked mad at Curtis because he was sleepily. Curtis asked “Erik let me see your arm?” Erik picked up his arm it was healed enough that it wasn’t bleeding any more. Curtis sighed in relief he looked at Erik who look like he was going to faint. Curtis picked up Erik and asked “What wrong Erik?” Erik didn’t answer not even nodding. Curtis knew some thing was wrong He always at lest nodded. He walked Erik to the Car and sat him is the Passages seat. Curtis climbed in the Drive’s seat and stared the car. He drove Erik to the hospital’s E.R and told them he cut himself on the arm last night. Curtis waited in the waiting room in panic he was worried Erik was not going to make it. He asked if he could go back home a grab something. They said yes so he went in a panic to go get Charlotte scene Erik liked her. For ten minutes he panic and trashed his house to find Charlotte and remembered she was in his jacket. He drove back to the hospital and gave them his ID. He ran to Erik’s room and a Nurse stopped him and asked “Who are you and what do you want?” “My name is Curtis and I here to see Erik Because I have something for him!” he said in a panic the nurse let him in to see Erik. Erik was in the hospital bed and was white. Curtis walked up to Erik and said “I brought Charlotte.” He was Balling he didn’t want Erik to die he would take his own life before they take Erik’s. Erik could see that and said “I am sorry Curtis for putting this on you. ... Thank you for Charlotte she is so soft.” Curtis said still Balling “T-that is w-why I keep h-her she is the s-softest toy I h-have.” The nurse saw Curtis and said “I think you should levee Sir.” Curtis yelled “I LOVE HIM HE IS MY BEST AND ONLY FRIEND I DON’T WANT HIM TO DIE, I WILL TAKE MY OWN LIFE BEFORE THEY HIS!” Curtis was now on the floor and swearing under his breath and crying, he fell like a helpless animal. The nurse walked over to Curtis and asked if she could walk him out but he say that Erik wouldn’t have a ride home than she said they would call him. Curtis drove home and channel surfed until stopping at an “Invader Zim” episode. Than he got hungry and went to the fridge to get some ham to make a sandwich. When out of nowhere his cell phone started to ring. Curtis wiped out his phone and not even looking at the number answered it. “Hello Curtis specking.” “Hello Curtis this is the Nurse from the hospital. The boy what was his name again?” Curtis was mad they didn’t know his name. Curtis said irritated “His name is Erik.” “Thanks Curtis well Erik is waiting for you. With a stuffed toy bat?” “Be their in five minutes… Bye.” Curtis ran to his car forgetting the sandwich he was going to make. He was more worried about Erik than the sandwich. He tried to start the car and than remember he left the key inside “DAMN IT!” he was pissed he ran inside and grabbed the keys and ran back to the car. He stared the car and speeded out of his drive-way. In two minutes he was at the hospital and in Erik’s room. He was back to normal color and Charlotte was in his hand, he was holding her by one wing like he was a little five year old kid. Curtis looked at the nurse with great distain he was still angry she didn’t know his name. Erik and Curtis left Curtis helped Erik into the car. They looked at each other and than Curtis asked “Erik why did you Cut yourself? I’m just worried for your safety Erik.” Erik said “I sometime feel like there is no reason to live. I tried to slice my throat but I was too scared. So I slit my arm I meant to slit my Chest but I twitched. I made sure that the Pocket-knife could slit my throat in one quick and easy swipe so there would be less blood for you to clean.” Curtis looked at Erik and stared to cry again but stopped himself. The rest of the car trip was dead silent not even a breath could be hared. When they got home Curtis locked him self in his room with Charlotte. Erik was feeling really bad for what he put Curtis though. He walked to his room and slammed the door. Curtis heard the slam and ran to Erik’s room. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He Yelled “Erik open this Damn door I am not in the mood for this!” Erik yelled “NO!” Curtis kicked the door really hard and it snapped off the hinges. Erik had the pocket-knife in his hand and threw it at Curtis. Curtis tried to dodge it but stabbed in to his hand. He yelled at Erik as he fell to his knees “Damn you Erik! Why the hell do you have a Pocket-knife? You’re out of control!” Erik yelled “I have a Pocket-knife so I can defend myself against you Curtis!” Curtis was shocked he was hurting Erik instead of helping him. Erik got up and walked over to Curtis and grabbed his hand and yanked the Knife out. Curtis Yelled in pain. Erik snapped out of his faze of ferry when Curtis yelled in pain. “C-CURTIS ARE YOU OK I-I’M SORRY I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WAS T-THINKING!?” Curtis just smiled at Erik and fell asleep but Erik though he was dead thou and hug his and cried on his shoulder. He was so pissed at himself and grabbed the Pocket-knife and walked to the kitchen with the blood that dripped form the blade following him like a ghost. He threw the blade in the trash and walked back to his room and lay by Curtis and cried himself to sleep. Curtis woke up next morning on the floor with blood on the floor and on himself. He was scared he can’t remember what happed last night. He looked over himself and saw Erik on the floor to. Erik still had wet tears on his face. Curtis was in the middle of being confused when he felt a sharp pain in his hand. He looked at his hand and it had a slice going all the way though his hand. He sat in pain then he wake up Erik. Erik looked at Curtis and then said in a vary happy voice “Curtis your alive!” Curtis was confused out of his mind. He asked “Erik what happen last night? I can’t remember. I woke up this morning and felt a sharp pain in my hand and saw it had a slice in it.” Erik said in an upset voice “You drove me back home from the hospital and you lock yourself in your room with Charlotte. I went to my room upset for what I made you go though so I slammed the door to my room. You asked my angrily to open the door but I said no. So you kicked the door off the hinges. I than threw my Pocket-knife at you and you tired to dodge it but it hit your hand. You asked why I had a Pocket-knife and I said to protect myself from you. Than I got up off the bed and grabbed the blade and yanked it out of your hand. Your yell in pain snapped me out of my faze of ferry. I said sorry but you just smiled and than fell asleep but I thought you wore dead. So I walked to the kitchen and threw away the blade. Than I lay by you still thinking you wore dead and cried myself to sleep.” Erik was going to cry but Curtis hugged him and said “Thanks Erik for caring for me when I was hurting you instead of helping. I think I’m going to wrap my hand.” Erik nodded and Curtis left for the bathroom. Curtis asked from the bathroom “Erik where is the first-aid band-aid?” Erik said “I don’t know you had a first-aid band-aid in the first place. Or wouldn’t you have wrapped my arm in it?” Curtis felt like a moron he walked to the door of the house and asked Erik “Erik do you know how to drive?” Erik said “I’m 30 and you don’t think I can drive? Yes Curtis I can drive.” “Erik can you drive to the store to get a first-aid band-aid sense my hand had a cut?” Erik nodded and drove him to store. Where they got to store Erik looked at Curtis and asked “Do you want to stay in car Curtis?” Curtis lifted him hand and asked “Do you think I want to go in if I told to drive me to store?” Erik left Curtis in the car and ran into the store. “First-Aid, First-Aid… Yes First-Aid!” Erik grabbed the First-Aid Band-Aid and paid for it and ran to car to take care of Curtis. “I have it Curtis!” yelled Erik as he jumped in the car and took care of Curtis’s wound. “Erik can I drive now?” asked Curtis Erik looked at Curtis and asked “Are you sure Curtis?” Curtis looked down at his hand and said “I guess not.” Erik stared the car and drove Curtis to the house. When they got home Curtis walked to his room and fell asleep on the floor. Erik sat on the Dark Plum colored Armchair and Started to read the book “Cell” By Stephen King. Erik sometimes couldn’t tell that what he was reading was not real and it was around Ten O Clock when he started to read the book. The Next morning Cutis Woke up and Walked to the living room to get his Halloween Coffee Cup and Saw Erik Asleep on the Armchair shaking. Curtis walked up to Erik and asked “Erik are you Ok?” Erik woke up and looked at Curtis like he was a Stranger. Curtis met his Terrified Eyes with his half asleep Eyes. Erik got up and said “I’m just cold that’s all.” Curtis picked up Erik’s book before he could pick it up. “Erik why were you Reading “Cell” so late at night?” Erik stared at Curtis and shrugged “I like to Read Ok?” Curtis stared at Erik and Asked in a concern tone and looked at the pale red and Black book “Are you Sure you are ok Erik I don’t need you freaking out on me again?” Erik looked at Curtis’s hand and ran to him and hugged him “I’m sorry Curtis I sometimes can’t tell what I’m reading is not real” Curtis stared at the Book and then at Erik “I didn’t know that, Erik you have to tell me these things so you don’t hurt me or yourself.” Erik looked at Curtis and said “I forget a lot of the things that happened to me when I was a little boy. My Mom and Dad didn’t care what happened to me.” Erik was on the floor trying to keep clam and not freak out on Curtis. Curtis sat on the floor next to Erik and looked at him with the same Terrified Eyes Erik had earlier. “You have to be kidding Erik tell me that’s not true.” Curtis just couldn’t process what Erik was telling him. “It’s all true Curtis I’m unstable emotionally.” Erik just couldn’t handle the pain of his Mom and Dad not caring for him. Curtis looked at Erik and said “You are not alone Erik my Mom and Dad Abounded me when I was only five.” Curtis looked away from Erik because he was going to cry and Erik never saw him cry. Erik looked over at Curtis and saw Tears all down his face and on his Vest. “Curtis I never know that why did you keep that hidden from me?” Erik asked Curtis looked at Erik and yelled “BECAUSE I MISS ME MOM AND DAD AND YOU ARE THE ONLY PRESON THAT’S NOT MY PARINTS THE SEE ME CRY!” Curtis was in an emotional brake down. Erik started to shake in fear he don’t know what was going too happened. Curtis got up and ran to his room like a little boy that told to go his room. Curtis Slammed his door and lay on the bed still crying. Erik got up and took Curtis’s Halloween Coffee Cup and filled it with some Coffee. Erik walked to Curtis’s cracked door he must have slammed it to hard because there was a big crack though it. Erik knocked on the door and felt a chill fall down his spine. Curtis open the door with Charlotte in his hand “What do you want Erik?!” he said in a Terrified voice. “I brought you some Coffee in your favorite cup and I wanted to say I’m sorry for bring up your past.” Erik was sanding at the door and Shaking at the door in fear of what mite happen next. “Thanks Erik I was going to get some anyways.” Curtis was looking at Erik and handed Charlotte to him “You need her?” Erik Took Charlotte and sat on the floor and shacked in fear. Curtis stepped out of his room and Picked up Erik like a mother would pick up her son when he fell asleep on the chair. Curtis smiled though his Tears and Erik smiled back at Curtis. Curtis put Erik on the couch and Grabbed a Blanket for him. “Here Erik you need some sleep you can sleep with Charlotte today.” Curtis stared to walk away when Erik Said “Curtis stay with me please I’m scared without you near me!” “Fine Erik I’ll stay.” Curtis sat on the Armchair and grabbed his favorite Sweatshirt and fell asleep in it. The Next morning Curtis woke up and saw Erik on the floor. Curtis walked up Erik and Shock him “Erik why are you on the floor?” asked Curtis with a hint of a Giggle in his voice. Erik looked around the room “I don’t know why Curtis.” He was laughing with Curtis. “Well I will help you up.” Curtis handed Erik his hand. Erik got up with Cutis’s help. “What is there to do today Curtis?” Curtis stared at Erik for what seemed like forever. “I have to go and get Blood drawled today at one in the afternoon.” Curtis looked at the clock and it said it was 12:50P.M “Oh No I have to get ready now!” Curtis ran to his room and changed his Outfit scene he was wearing it for two days strait. Erik sat on the couch and got on his old Combat boots witch the souls where falling apart form the main shoe. Curtis came back and asked Erik “Erik what are you doing?” “I’m getting my boots on to go with you.” Curtis looked at Erik and said in a disappointed tone “Erik you can’t come I’m sorry.” Erik stared at Curtis and asked “Why can’t I? I don’t want to be here alone!” Curtis said “Because I don’t want you to worry about me.” “But…” Curtis was out the door and in the car before Erik could finish his though. Erik was now in Curtis’s house alone and he was scared. He held Charlotte close as if she was going to come alive and help him. Erik ran to Curtis’s room and found Curtis’s lucky 9mm Pistol and his cop outfit. Erik looked at the outfit and the handgun with a confused face. “Curtis was a cop?!” Erik just couldn’t pass this confusion. Erik grabbed the 9mm Pistol and when back to the living room and read “Cell” Again. He was about half way though the book when out of the blue there was a knocking at the door. Erik got up and when to the door to answered it. Erik opened the door and saw a little girl that was holding a stuffed toy Penguin. “Hello?” Erik said the little girl looked at him “Hello, Does a Guy named Curtis live here?” the little girl kind of looked like a little girl version of him. “Yes Curtis lives here but his not here at the moment. What do you want with him?” The little girl looked at Erik and said “My name is Rose I’m Curtis’s Daughter.” Erik was even more confused first he was a cop and now he has a Daughter named Rose. “Come in Rose, My name is Erik I’m living with Curtis for now.” Rose asked “Where is Curtis? He said he would be here to play with me sine I don’t get to see him that often.” Erik was still confused about of this. “Why don’t you see him that offend you’re his Daughter?” Rose looked like Erik said something wrong. “I don’t get see him that offend because he’s Insane or at a lest Society thinks that.” Erik said to Rose “He’s not insane he’s been helping me. Rose what were you and Curtis going to do together?” “Curtis and I were going to go out for lunch and then play cards.” Rose noticed Charlotte in Erik’s hand “Curtis gave you Charlotte?” “No he’s just letting me use her because I’m like a little kid I get Scared vary easily.” Rose sat on the couch and pulled out a book “What book are you Reading Rose?” “I’m reading “The Outsides” By S.E. Hinson.” Erik look at the book “Is that with Pony Boy? I’m reading “Cell” By Stephen King.” Rose looked at Erik and got up off the couch “Yes it has Pony Boy in it. You read Stephen King but you just said you are like a little kid because you get scared very easily?” Erik looked at Rose and Smiled “I guess you’re Right I shouldn’t read King’s stuff.” Out of no where the House phone Rings and Erik answers it. “Hello Erik Specking.” “Yes Erik does a Guy name Curtis live there?” “Yes Curtis lives here. Why may I ask are you asking?” “Well I’m his Friend My Name is Faith and He said I could come today. Can I still come?” “Faith, He’s at the Doc. Now so He’s not home and I’m with his Daughter, her Name is Rose.” “Oh Rose I know her She will love if I come over if you want me to Erik.” “I don’t care and Rose is Begging for you so please come.” “Be there in five minits Erik.” Faith Hung up and after Five Minutes of Nothing but Rose being a Pest and Erik Reframing from choking her. A Knock comes at the Door. Erik opens the Door and Sees a Young Lady in a Long Black Dress with ruffles on the bottom and a Joyful Smile on her Face. “I’m Faith and you must be Erik right?” “Yes I’m Erik and Rose is Being a Pest” “How?” Asked Faith as she walks in Rose Runs and Hugs her. “I see what you mean Erik, Hello Rose!” “Hi Faith!” Rose was basely bouncing off the Walls. Erik when to the couch and lay down. Faith and Rose walked over to Erik and Faith asked “Erik how long has Curtis been out?” Erik looked at the clock it said 2:15 P.M. Erik looked scared now “He’s been out for at least an Hour and 15 Minutes. I’m worried about him now.” Curtis walked in the door with a Big Smile on his Face. “I’m back now. I see Rose and Faith are here Erik.” Erik shoot up from the couch ran over to Curtis. “Curtis you had me worried!” Curtis looked confused but then saw Erik’s face and Leaned he did. “I’m sorry Erik.” Curtis Hugged Erik and Smiled “Well I’m home now Erik.” Faith walked up to Curtis “Hello Curtis. How you have you been lately?” “Hello Faith. I’ve been good.” Rose ran to Curtis and hugged him “DADDY!” Curtis Picked up Rose and Smiled “I see my Little Girl missed me.” Curtis Kissed Rose on the Cheek. “Anyone what some food? I’m hungry.” Asked Erik Curtis looked at Rose and Faith and Faith nodded and Rose Smiled and nodded. Curtis walked to the kitchen with Rose in his arms. She was griping Curtis’s vest from the back and was crying a little bit. Curtis heard her and pulled her to in front of his face. “Rose, Sweetie what’s wrong?” Rose looked at Curtis and hugged him around his neck “I don’t want you to leave again Daddy! I miss you.” Curtis looked at Rose and down at the floor. He was silent and holding back tears. “I’ll be back guys…I need to do something in my room…alone.” Curtis sounded upset and put Rose next to Erik on the floor and walked to his room and slammed the door closed. Rose looked at Erik “Erik did I do something wrong? Daddy seems upset.” Erik was biting his lip and looked down at Rose then at Faith who was leaning against a wall. “Faith I’m worried about Curtis…He’s been moody lately.” Out of nowhere there was a roar of a Chainsaw starting and what sounded like a muffled Curtis voice. “Come on Start! I need you to fucking start you dumb Chainsaw!” Curtis kicked his door down and he tilted him head with the Chainsaw in his hands. His eyes where wide and he smiled with an insane look. “Who’s First to meet Death!?” Erik was frozen in fear and Rose stared at Curtis and was crying. Faith pushed herself against the wall more. Curtis stepped closer and let the Chainsaw let out its loud scream as he was looking at Erik. “Your First Erik!” Erik Panicked and pulled out the 9mm handgun from his pocket. “Rose and Faith cover your ears!” Rose and Faith covered their ears and Curtis lunged at Erik. There was a gun shoot then everything went quite. Curtis was in the floor bleeding from his thigh and crying. Erik’s hand trembled and he dropped the Gun. “Curtis!” Rose crawled over to Curtis and hugged his arm. The Chainsaw was on the floor and wasn’t running anymore. Faith covered her mouth and was tearing up. Curtis was pale and bleeding out. Rose hugged Curtis’s arm and cried, Faith did a scared deep breath and spoke “Curtis you need help.” Faith was broken up on the inside but tried not to show it. Erik was holding Curtis’s thigh with an old Shirt that was on the floor. “Thank god you keep things on the floor Curtis.” Erik was trying to make a joke. Faith was on the Phone trying to get help for Curtis. “Erik, do you know what kind of gun it was you shoot Curtis with?” Faith was in the kitchen. “9 mm Pistol Faith.” Erik looked over at Rose and she was using Curtis’s arm as a Blanket and she cried herself to sleep with Curtis’s arm around her. Curtis looked over at her and smiled weakly. “I’ve had worse Erik.” Erik looked shook but then he leaned Curtis was trying to make a joke to. “Dude I don’t think there is anything much worse then this.” “Oh but there is Erik there is always a Fate worse then Death.” Faith comes back out and sits on the floor. “They should be coming soon.” Just then a siren was blaring outside the door. A Paramedic kicked down the door and looked at Erik, Curtis, Rose and Faith. Erik looked up and helped Curtis sit up. Rose was still hugging Curtis’s arm. “You care if my Girl, My best friend that shoot me and the one that called you to come out are here?” Curtis looked over at Erik and Erik put up his blood stained hands “Ok you caught me with my hands red Curtis.” The Paramedic looked over Curtis’s wound that was partly healed. “It’s Curtis right?” “Yes the name is Curtis and I’ll tell you what I told Erik I don’t have a last name.” “You don’t have a last name? Why?” Curtis rolled his Eyes and looked over at Rose. “I don’t have one because I never wanted Rose, The girl on my arm to be “Related” to me. She is my Kid but if you hared the last name of someone who’s Insane you would think there child is to.” Faith was in the bathroom and was puking from seeing all the blood. Erik was sitting and picked up Rose. “Come on Rose your Dad needs to get help.” “I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE DADDY’S SIDE!!” Rose was struggling out of Erik’s arms. Curtis was pale and shaking. Faith comes back out and was pale. “I need to go and put on a new outfit. I’ll be back guys.” Faith walks out the door with a bit of a shake to her. Erik smiled weakly at Rose “Rose if you don’t let Curtis get help you might not see him again.” Rose started to cry and Erik held her close. Curtis glared at Erik in a mean way. Erik stickled out his tongue and made a face at Curtis. Rose giggled at Erik’s face and Erik giggled to. “Someone likes my Faces. Unlike you Curtis.” Erik was making fun of Curtis and giggling. “Your not the one that’s shoot in the leg now are you?” Erik stopped giggling and went silent. Curtis had an anger filled tone so Erik knew he wasn’t playing around unlike himself.
