Black Eye, Black Out

When Erin got home, it was already late.

The weather was gloomy and it started to rain lightly.

Erin rushed up to the apartment quickly with tears in her eyes.

Dad wasn't home yet.

She went out to the balcony and sat on a chair.

The cold air hit her face and her tears mixed with the raindrops.

She felt confused.

She had a lot of different emotions.

She felt worried about her dad, and angry at Daniel for embarrassing her.

She also felt stupid for developing feelings for Daniel.

But, she couldn't get him out of her mind.

She found herself thinking about him everyday...

But he scared her.

...

The weekend came and Erin got up early to clean the house.

She had been focused on her studies so much lately that she had only been cleaning her own room.

Erin wasn't really used to all of this.

Back in London, her mother would have a maid come three times per week, while Gary cooked all of the meals.

He enjoyed cooking a lot.
