Ms Self Destruct
Author: TrentReznorsSin
Disclaimer: Trent unfortunately doesn’t belong to me *sobs* (do you really think I’d be sat at my PC if I owned him?? Lol) but Erin and some other people you won’t recognise belong to moi. I’m a poor uni student so don’t sue, I’m not making anything out of this!
Summary: Set during the Self Destruct Tour 94/95. Trent’s decision to ask his best friend Erin to come along for the tour has made them both ask the question ‘are we just friends?’
Feedback: Yes please, no flames though, they make me cry
Author's note: This is the first NIN fiction I’ve written in years, so I might be a bit rusty.
PLEASE REVIEW! A big thank you to those who have, you're the ones who keep me going! And as always, thank you to Danu my beta *mwah*
Chapter Eight: Now I’m Down In It
Erin sat in the chair out on the balcony. As she watched the sun starting to set, she thought about what had happened a couple of days ago. Something told her she should be happy, and a part of her was, but the other part was wondering if this was truly going to be the breakdown of what they had as friends. He loved her, he had admitted that and she had pretty much admitted it too.
She wanted him, she really did, but what happened if they did date and it ended on a bad note. The thought of never talking to him again made her want to cry all over again.
Tapping her leg with one hand while raising the glass of Jack Daniels to her lips with the other, she decided to call the one person who would tell her what to do. Putting the glass down on the small plastic table next to the chair, she picked up her phone.
She would call Caron.
After a few rings, the phone was answered.
“Hello?”
“Hey, its me.”
“Hey hun! How come you had to hang up so quickly?”
“Well…I had to hang up because I unlocked my hotel room and found Trent in there waiting for me.”
“Oh my god! Why was he there? Did he give you a good seeing to?” Caron giggled,
“Caron! No he didn’t…he wanted to know why I haven’t been speaking to him and I told him that it was because of that night he tried to kiss me and then said it was a mistake. Then he kissed me…” Erin had to hold the phone away from her ear as Caron squealed down the line.
“He KISSED you? OH MY GOD THIS IS GREAT!”
“Calm down Car, I told him to leave. I said it wasn’t a good idea because I didn’t want to ruin our friendship.”
“You WHAT?! Erin, I know you’re insecure, but that’s just plan insane! You have been lusting after this guy for…what? 10 years? And now he admits that he’s been going through the same thing, you tell him no?”
“What happens if we do get together and then something happens to break us up? What happens if it ends on a bad note and we don’t speak? Then what?”
“Erin, that’s one of those things you just have to take a chance with. I have a feeling it wouldn’t though, you guys have known each other for god knows how long, you’ve been through so much together, what could break you apart? If you don’t take this chance, then you’re going to regret it for the rest of your life.”
“…I think that’s one of the most intelligent pieces of advice you’ve ever given me.”
“You think?”
“I do.”
“Sooooo does this mean you’ve had a change of heart?”
“It was never a case of having a change of heart, you’ve just made me realise that self denial isn’t the way forward.”
“Atta girl. You go and talk to him about it, the next time I phone, I want to hear you guys are together okay?”
“Yeah okay Caron.”
“Speak to you soon hun.”
“Bye.”
Putting her phone back onto the table, Erin downed the rest of her drink and looked back out towards the city.
She would talk to him tomorrow.

Trent was pissed.
In fact pissed didn’t cut it, he was probably angrier than he had ever been before. He thought that if he showed Erin how much he loved her, things would work out. But it had only made things worse, not only did he realise that she loved him back, but she wasn’t willing to make anything of it because of what could happen if things went wrong.
It didn’t help that she was still hanging around with Danny more than the rest of them. He was hurt, jealous and angry. And when he was angry, he was irritable and the smallest thing could set him off on one. This didn’t make travelling with the others very easy. The only good thing that had come out of this was that he and Erin were talking again, but things were pretty much the way they were. But where it used to be easy to chat and muck around, it was now replaced with awkward moments and silence.
Now, sitting on a different bed, in a different hotel, in a different state, he was starting to regret what he had done. He regretted kissing her and causing this rift between the two of them.
Maybe she’s right, what happens if something happened between us, then we could never have back what we have. If suppressing how I feel for her means I’ll keep her as a friend, then I’ll just have to do that.
Rubbing his eyes, he fell back onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling. His mind was made up; it wouldn’t be a good idea for them to be together. Just the thought of the possibility of losing her completely caused a lump in his throat.
No, she was right, it wasn’t a good idea and he would tell her so tomorrow.
Hehe, I wonder what's going to happen here? REVIEW PEOPLE! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!
