Chapter 628

Eric’s saga, and it was a saga, was a little weird, a little wild, and a little heartbreaking.

Once the Lucy situation had cleared out, he’d apologised to Beth and explained they’d dated earlier in the summer but it had been kind of toxic and he’d gotten himself out of the situation. Beth had been surprisingly understanding, cracking a joke about how she had to deal with her roommate on a regular basis and she was used to a little crazy, but that she did have something she wanted to talk with Eric about so they should grab a table.

That, of course, took Eric into anxiety town because he thought he was calling the date to talk about something.

They got their table, did the small talk to try and get over what had just happened, and had just ordered their food as Eric was working himself up to open the conversation when Beth’s roommate showed up. Apparently, she’d been paranoid about Beth spending all weekend not at home, and then going out again on a Monday even though they were supposed to hang out. Ol’ Crazy Eyes, as Sabrina insisted she be called, was about to get all territorial as she stormed towards their table when she saw who her roommate was with.

Thus began the second shouting match of the night, this time as Ol’ Crazy Eyes went from 0 to 100 in a screeching fit where she literally flipped a table - not theirs, just some innocent bystanders caught in the chaos. With food and drinks going everywhere, and the table falling onto another lady, Ol’ Crazy Eyes ended up getting slapped across the face by that lady’s friend. That could have led to an actual bar fight, but the bouncers got there just in time to grab Ol’ Crazy Eyes and stop her as she swung at the other lady. Then both of those ladies got kicked out while a waitress tried to manage the chaos of the flipped table, and a bartender came over and asked Eric and Beth to leave because this was the second incident they’d been a part of, even if they hadn’t technically done anything. Considering both Ol’ Crazy Eyes and the other lady and her group were shouting about pressing charges, things were about to get even more complicated out in front of the bar as the cops were called.
