52: ripped my heart out

Elaine's POV

After Billie left I curled up against the door and cried, Zara came and hugged me. It was actually the first time I really cried about this whole thing. It finally sank in that Billie cheated on me, not only that she cheated on our anniversary. I was sitting there feeling so stupid for not seeing the signs, but I couldn't have really seen them because of the different time zones and our busy schedules. I was crying my eyes out and Zara was trying to comfort me. I was sobbing that I even had hiccups.

Elaine: why huh? I gave her all I had, I let her in,I let her see me in a light no human has seen me in and she hurts me so badly.

Zara: ssshhh don't cry

Elaine: I loved her and I still do but she hurt me she really did

Zara: I'm sorry but you did what's right for you

Elaine: if it's right then why does it hurt so bad? Why does it feel like she just ripped my heart out and walked out the door with it?

Zara: I'm sorry but you should stop crying you'll get sick

Elaine: Zara it hurts

Zara: let's get you to the sofa and I'll make you camomile tea to calm your nerves

I just nod at her and she helps me stand up. She makes me some tea and give me some tablets as I had a bad headache.  Zara literally helped me back to my feet to my bedroom. When I get there I cry myself to sleep. A few hours later I wake up and head downstairs and I stop halfway the stairs because I could hear Zara talking to someone about me then I realise it was Claudia. I decided to eavesdrop just a little I know it's rude but I wanted to know what they were saying about me.

Zara: yeah she was here earlier on trying to apologize but Elaine wasn't having it

Claudia: really?

Zara: I've never seen Elaine this hurt, she cried all her emotions out

Claudia: that's probably why Billie was also crying. We didn't see her cry but you could tell from her eyes and she's locked herself up in her room ever since she came back.

Zara: I feel so horrible for them, what Billie did was wrong but I can't deny that I was rooting for them

Claudia: yeah they looked cute together

Yes that's when I decide I've heard enough as I was getting emotional. I walk down and fund Zara on the sofa talking to Claudia on her laptop via FaceTime.

Elaine: who you're talking to?

Zara: you're awake? It's Claudia

Elaine: oh hi Claudia how are you?

Claudia: I'm good you?

Elaine: I'm fine, I'll be in the kitchen

Zara: okay

I then put my headphones on and go to the kitchen and start preparing dinner. After sometime Zara comes and join me, she helps me with the chopping and stuff.

Zara: how are you feeling

Elaine: (fake smiles) I'm gonna be alright

She flashes back a smile at me then she rubs my back.

Zara: yeah you'll be

Elaine: anyway how's work?

Zara: I'm done with Zoe Saldana's dress and.....

Elaine: and?

Zara: I'll be also designing Billie's outfit

Elaine: oh

Zara: I still have to consult her on the design, which I was supposed to do today but y'know

Elaine: it's okay you can go to her house

Zara: are you sure?

Elaine: yeah remember what I told you, you don't have to cut ties with her on my account

Zara: thank you ( she hugs me) I'll be back okay?

Elaine: sure

She then left and I continued cooking.

Billie's POV

I've been in my room for the past three to four hours. I know I hurt her but I didn't think she'll break up with me. I'm not gonna give up on my girlfriend that easily thou that's why I'm going to see her again tomorrow. I was still sitting idle when I heard the hundredth knock on my door, to my surprise it was Zara.

Zara: Billie

I don't respond

Zara: I know you can hear me, so I wanted to ask about the designs for your red carpet look for the upcoming award ceremony. I know it's not really the time for that but I have to start working on this by the end of the week.

I think Finneas and Claudia joined her because I heard them talking.

Fin: there's no use to what you're doing, we've been trying to talk to her for hours now

Zara: (sigh) this is worser than I thought, Elaine is also not herself.

Claudia: yeah it's not good it's really not, maybe we should give them some space

Fin: I just hope this doesn't lead to depression

Zara: yeah you're right, I'm just worried about both of them. Elaine is acting like nothing happened but I can tell that she's hurting.

Fin: they both have that in common I guess

Claudia: we should let them be

Zara: I have to leave now, I'll just slide this under the door.

She slides some papers under the door. I get up and take them, sometimes I forget what an amazing designer Zara is. I just add a few things in her design then go to bed
