On my mind.
(Chapter fifty-one)
Erika's POV.
I was terrified for the funereal, I could already feel the tears coming. I squeezed my eyes shut and let all of the memories of me and Jared. Memories from when he was born, me holding him as a baby, vacations, and everything we have ever done together. I let out a small cry. Cody reached over and squeezed my hand. "Erika we will do this together." he said as if he knew exactly what I was thinking. We arrived at the funereal home and Cody handed the driver money. We got out and met my parents at the entrance.
It was your normal funereal, just with a lot more people. There were lots of tears, sorries, and all of that. Cody helped me to survive it without breaking down and not being able to take it. I am so glad that he told me he loved me. After we left the funereal home, we went back to the hotel. He took my hand and we ran up to the room. As soon as we got in, I went into the bathroom to see what I looked like. My eyes were red and blotchy and a tiny bit of eyeliner was smudged near my eyes. Cody came in and hugged me from behind. "I miss him Cody." he kissed my neck. "I know you do." he said pulling me closer. "How much longer until your flight?" I asked sadly. As much as I supported Cody, I didn't want him to leave. He looked at his watch and then back at me "2 hours." I nodded. "I am going to get changed." I said walking out of the bathroom. I quickly put on this, http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=36585540 and went into the bathroom to wash my face. I banged on the door, "Cody stop admiring yourself in the mirror and let me in!" I joked. He laughed, "Let a man pee!" he teased and I heard the flush of the toilet. The water turned on and the door opened. "Took ya long enough." I said pushing past him. He laughed and went into the room. I washed my face and looked in the mirror. Sighing, I threw my hair into a bun and decided against putting on makeup. When I came out Cody was wearing a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. "You excited for your concert?" I asked Cody. "Yeah I am, I just wish you were going." I sighed, "Yeah I know me too. I wish I could get back in time." I moaned. Little did he know that his mom and I planned a surprise for me to be the girl in his song "Not Just You". He kissed me unexpectedly. "I love you." he said pulling away. "I love you too." I said pulling him back in for a longer kiss. After we were done, we were both smiling. "What do you want to do?" I asked. "Well we could get something to eat." I nodded, "Sounds good." I grabbed my phone, money, and the room key. "Leggo!" I yelled. He laughed and grabbed a sweatshirt, sunglasses, and everything else he needed. We walked down to the lobby and there were a few flashes, but not as many as this morning.

On my mind.
(Chapter fifty-two)
Erika's POV.
It wasn't until the flashes started, that we realized we were wearing sweatpants. I stopped and laughed, "Do you see what we look like right now?" he looked at himself and then at me. He laughed, "Lets go back and change so we can eat in a restaurant." We walked back into the room and he went to his suitcase, while I went to the bathroom. I put on this http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=36598932 and kept my hair in the messy bun. I applied a little bit of mascara and sprayed some perfume, then we were off. Cody stopped and signed a few autographs on our way, but I didn't mind. The thing I did mind, were the dirty looks that the girls were giving me. Cody didn't even notice because he was to busy paying attention to the pretty blonde's autograph he was signing. I was jealous and I wanted to rip her head off, but I kept my cool. He dealed with pretty girls everyday, but he still chose me. "Ready?" he asked taking my hand. I nodded and he led me down the sidewalk. I tensed up when we passed the street where Dustin had kidnapped me. He felt me tense up and he put my arm around me. I put one hand around his waist, "Where are we going?" I asked as we continued to walk. "What are some good places that you used to eat at?" he asked. "HM." I said thinking. "Lets go to The Buenos Dias. It's a little cafe type thing that has yummy food." I said as I led him in the direction.

Cody's POV.
We walked into the cafe and little bells ringed. There were booths, tables, and a bar type thing in the front. "Erika!" I heard a mens voice yell. "Ben!" she yelled running over and jumping into his arms. "Oh my gosh, I miss you and all the guys!" she squealed. "I heard you were back but I didn't know if it was true. Who's that?" he asked nodding at me. "You don't recognize him? I dragged you to his concert!" she said coming over and holding my hand, "And now he is my boyfriend." she smiled and I kissed the back of her hand. "Ay mate." I said giving him a bro-shake. "Hey." he smiled a little. "Your concert we went to was actually pretty good." I laughed, "Glad to here you liked it." he turned back to Erika. I have to admit, I was jealous of him. The way he looked at her, was the way I used to look at the girl I was in love with when I was younger. "So how long are you up here for?" he asked curiously. "I am leaving late tomorrow night." she responded. He smiled, "Well I have to get going, but text me. The guys and I will catch up with you." he said. She smiled and nodded, "Alright, bye ben." she said giving him a small hug. She turned back over to me, "He was one of the ones who was there for me when everything happened. He is just my friend, nothing else Cody. Your the one I love." she said noticing my tightened posture and angry look. "I know, I love you too." I said leaning down to kiss her . I could feel her smile against my lips which made me smile. "What can I get you two love birds?" asked the fairly old waitress. We pulled away and Erika blushed a little and looked down. When she looked up, both of there facial expressions went blank.
