I sighed, hearing Judy yell at Eric. I stayed in the kitchen, waiting until I knew she was gone. I walked out, and saw Eric laying on the couch, his face buried in the cushions. I pulled him up into a sitting position and  gave him the water. I sighed sadly. "Why didn't you just talk to me Eric?" I asked him. I felt tears well up in my eyes. I was sad he didn't confide in me.
