Natalya keeps on crying, her English once again suffering as the tears flow. "Why she doesn't wants you happy?" She says in her broken second language, still wiping her tears.

When she hears the door, she looks over at it, a little frightened.

Erich stands up and runs to Nichole and Sam. " no. You haven't. I own half the duke.i say you can stay.


Erica shakes her head. " I don't know,nats. I really don't. Nobody can say you didn't try to get along with her. " Erica wipes her tears,smearing her mascara." I think she gets kicks out of watching people cry."

Natalya nods. She puts her head on Ericas shoulder.

"This was supposed to be a happy day. Now I am all tears and you are all sad."

Natalya inhales and exhales slowly.

"But it is not happy because you have lost your friend."

Natalya plays with Erica's hair,something that always manages to keep her calm. She nods as she runs the hair through her fingers.

"You are sure? I don't want for you to make a decision that you are going to regret some time later." She strokes her back slowly.

Natalya sighs a little. "I did not mean any of this stuff. I wanted to protect you because she was being nasty to you." She sighs. "You know....nothing ever means more to me than wanting for you to be happy." She smiles and then looks sad. "One time....one time....never mind..." She shakes her head and hugs Erica.

Natalya rests her head on Erica's shoulder, tracing her finger slowly up and down her girlfriend's arm. "I know. I guess we do anything for the people in this life who we love." She smiles. "I love you. I love you very much." She closes her eyes. "One time....when you had kissed Nichole...I was close to saying that if you wanted to be with her, that you should go to her." She cries a quiet tear, "Not because of anything other than I wanted you to be happy." She cries a little more obviously at the thought of losing Erica. "I would have been so sad if you had left me. I would not know what to do."

Natalya smiles a little and pulls Erica closer to her as she continues to gently touch her skin. Sometimes there was nothing in the world that she would love more than to just sit there with Erica, feeling the bond that they had together. She nods and then thinks for a little while before she speaks. She discretely wipes some more tears away. "How do you mean? What kind of person did I show you I am? And how?"

Erica snuggles in close to Natalya. Kissing her chin softly. " you are everything I am not. You are kind and forgiving after being wronged. I would have been vindictive and cold. You are so much better than I am." She whispers.

Nina awkwardly approaches Nichole. She waits politely until in between sobs to ask." You all right,.love?"

"Ooh,natalya! Erica whisper as she is pushed into the bed. Erica puts her hands on the smell of Natalya's back and kisses her mouth roughly. This is just what she needs after such a shit day." I love you Natalya. You'll never have to be without me,I promise. "She whispers into Natalya's ear.
