Hidden

Chapter 25

I wake up feeling much hotter than normal. I try to shuffle out of bed but find I can't move. Looking down I notice a muscular arm wrapped around my waist. I can't escape the vise like grip. The more I struggle the tighter the grip gets until I'm pulled back against Eric's hard chest.

Sighing I roll around so that we are face to face.

"Eric" I poke his face. "Eric" poke. "Eric"

"What do you want muppet?"

"You need to let me go"

"Nope I'm comfy" he smirks his eyes still closed.

"Eric if you don't let me go now I'm going to pee in your bed"

His eyes fly open as he looks at me and removes his arm from around my waist.

"Your gross muppet"

"But you love me" I smirk back.

I sit up and put my leg back on which Eric has placed by the side of the bed for me.

After taking care of my business I head back into the bedroom to see Eric sat up in bed starring at his phone. I sit next to him and his arm instantly wraps around me pulling me closer.

"My mum and brother are going to be out of town for a few days for a doctors appointment for my brother but she said your welcome to stay indefinitely if you want" he smiles down at me and kisses my forehead.

"Also Greyson, Kyle and Jason are coming over later so get dressed muppet while I make us some breakfast"

I can't help the groan that escapes my lips. I would rather not deal with people today especially after everything that happened yesterday that the guys don't know about yet.

Eric leaves the room so that I can get dressed. He's left some more sweatpants and another t-shirt for me to wear but he's left no fucking underwear!

Just then I remember my present from Kyle and Jason. I get it out of my bag and stare at it for a few moments. I still can't believe they got me a black lace bra and a matching thong!

I slip the underwear on which is surprisingly comfortable. I'm also a little freaked out that they knew my size but I'd rather not think of that now. I finish getting dressed before heading back downstairs.

When I enter the kitchen I see Eric with his back to me making something at the cooker. I look to the kitchen table and notice a glass of orange juice with my medication lined up next to it.

"I grabbed it yesterday for you muppet, so take it"

I laugh to myself as I head over to the table and I do as I'm told. I love how protective and caring he is. The only other person to care this much is Zekie and even he isn't this overprotective.

Once I've taken my meds I turn around to see Eric holding a plate of blueberry pancakes. My stomach starts growling which causes Eric to laugh.

"Hungry muppet"

"Gimme the pancakes" I say starting at them intently

"What if I keep them to myself" he smirks before lifting the pancakes above his head.

"Eric!" I scream before launching myself at him

He turns his back to me so I'm clinging to his back in some sort of strange piggyback thing while at trying to take the pancakes he's holding hostage from him.

"We interrupting something?"

Both Eric and I turn to face the door and see a smirking Kyle, Jason and Greyson looking back at us.

"He took my pancakes" I rubble now having successfully taken ownership of the pancakes once more.

They all laugh as we make our way to the living room. Once there everyone takes a seat of the sofas but Eric only brings me from his back to his front before sitting on the sofa and pulling me close to him.

"So what actually happened yesterday?" Greyson gets straight to the point.

"Well after the cafeteria incident I started screaming at Eric and basically told him to fuck off. He wouldn't let me leave so drive me home. When I got through the door I broke down and my mums boyfriend tried to rape me. Eric saved me and now I'm living here" I say in one breathe.

Eric has pulled me closer to him and Greyson is sat in the sofa with his mouth open while at Kyle and Jason look like they are about to kill someone.

"What did I miss?" I practically whisper

Kyle was the first to reply "Well after you left I dealt with the cafeteria problem by beating the shit out of Stanley I threading Tia and the bitch squad..."

"... then we came out" Jason finishes

I sit here gobsmacked.

"You did what?"

"Well now people have more things to talk about than just you" Kyle says

"We all care about you Tavi. We aren't going to have some bitch talk shit about you. If your secrets out then so is ours." Jason smiles as me.

"You guys may look like dicks at first glance but you are seriously the nicest people I know" I choke out holding back the tears.

"I'll take that" Greyson smirks.

We spent the rest of the day just watching films and messing about. At one point Greyson decided to tell me about all the time he has heard it caught my brother and April doing the dirty which let me tell you I could have done without.

Once they left Eric and I watched the Tv for another hour before we headed up to bed ourselves.
