Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: I just don't want you to think I don't care about you because I do. -nods her head and sighs- goodnight, Eric

Eric: Night. El. -hangs up-

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: Eric -breathes out and shakes her head- You mean so much to me, but it's just too much right now.

Eric: -bites his lip slightly and nods slowly- I wasn't expecting anything, honestly. I just had to tell you after everything. I understand though. -lets out a small sigh- Well, I'm really tired for real now. I guess I'll talk to you later.

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Eric: -shrugs and ignores the first part- I'm happy you're happy?

Elise: N-No, before that.

Eric: God I suck at these type of things. -shakes his head and sighs- I love you. I just wanted you to know that.

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: No, no he can't. -starts to laugh- C'mon, Eric, what's really on your mind?

Eric: -runs his hand though his hair and sighs- It's nothing really though. I'm just.. -pauses for a moment- I love you, alright? And I'm just happy you're happy.

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: -sighs- You're a crappy liar.

Eric: Can't a guy just randomly ask how his ex and the mother of his son is doing relationship wise and stuff? -shrugs before laughing a little- That obvious huh?

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: -can tell Eric is acting strange- Whoa, whoa, I dated you long enough to know something's up. Talk, Summers.

Eric: -furrows his brows- What are you talking about? It's late. We should just get some rest. Long week you know?

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Eric: I was just wondering something is all. -shrugs his shoulders a bit- That Theo kid. You uh, really like that guy huh?

Elise: Wondering what? -lays down on her bed- Theo -smiles as she says his name- Theo's great, Ryder likes him too.

Eric: -smiles a little and fights a frown- Cool...that's great. Happy for you -bites his lips slightly- Well this was great. I'll uh, I'll talk to you later.

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: And you think what? -her eyebrows raised but then sighs- Yeah, what's up?

Eric: I was just wondering something is all. -shrugs his shoulders a bit- That Theo kid. You uh, really like that guy huh?

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: -nods her head- Good, don't give me a reason to make my son grow up without a father.

Eric: -sighs- I know what that's like firsthand, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. -sighs a little- You know, I'll be honest. I love street racing and cars and all of that. But I love him more. And I think.. -pauses for a second- Wait, can I ask you something?

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: Do you think he regrets it? Not trying to be there, I mean. -rubs her face softly- I'll kill you before you get in more trouble, that's a promise.

Eric: -bites his lip and sighs- Yeah. I think he does. Some people just grow up slower than others. -rubs his face a little before laughing- Yeah, I know. You're deadly and you've got my word.

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: -begins to chuckle- See you're right, but that was because I was upset that my boyfriend up and left me after I told him I was pregnant. Not only did he leave but didn't try to communicate with me at all. -sighs- Look, I just care about you, Eric, I'd hate to see you hurt.

Eric: I don't think that kid was very bright. But if you ask me, I think he's grown up. Or at least he's trying. -shrugs- I know. And I told you, I'm done with all that stuff. I had enough trouble convincing Carson University not to revoke their acceptance too. Any more trouble and I'm not going anywhere.

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: -lays down on her bed- Eric, I'm always here for you. Even if you were to come to me back when I was pregnant with Ryder and completely mad at you, I was still there for you. I care about you.

Eric: Yeah right. Your stomach was out to here, your mom told me you were irritated and annoyed as pretty much everything, I think you would have murdered anyone if they bugged you about their life. -chuckles- But I appreciate the sentiment. No more trouble, I promise.

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: -sighs and runs her hand down her face- You know if you need to talk about anything, I'm always here for you

Eric: I suppose you are. At least right now. And I guess that's all that counts. -runs his hand through his hair and sighs- I don't know. Part of me loved that thrill, but I think I'm over that stuff now.

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: -begins to chuckle to herself- Next time, don't listen to your friends. -sighs and shakes her head- Listen, Eric, I just need you to be here right now. Things are hard and I can't take care of Ryder without you

Eric: At least I won't listen to the dumb ones. -chuckles a little- I know. And I'm really sorry. My head's been a mess these past few months, I guess it just all boiled over.

Call to Elise (Not from jail this time)

Elise: Pretty shitty -shrugs a bit and sighs- Look, can you just explain what happened to me because I don't think I fully understand still.

Eric: Yeah, I'm kinda feeling like that too. -sighs a bit- Well I got drunk with my friends and they dared me to steal a car. I got in it but the cops came before I took off. -shrugs- Not my brightest night.
