Eric was sitting in his bedroom listening to another argument start to brew between his parents when he heard his phone go off, picking up his iPhone he knew exactly who it was, "Hello?" Hearing Rachel's rushed sentence he hopped off his bed and started pulling on his shoes, "I'm on my way. Are you okay?" He asked stumbling out of his bedroom.

His parents looked up and asked where he was going and he waved and just said "Rachel" and walked off, that was the end of that. Waiting for a reply he got into his new Dodge pickup his dad got him, Eric sped out of the apartments and straight to his best friend. It wasn't a far drive by any means but it felt like forever as he weaved in and out of traffic listening to her.

In his mind all he could think was "I'm going to kill whoever made her cry!". It didn't help his road rage any. Finally he pulled up to her curb and waited patiently for her to get in as he said a gentle " I'm here" and hung up.
