The Assistant (GxG)

Distractions

Sierra POV:

The days went on, and not a single word from Kristen. I didn't want to pry at first, but now I'm just fucking pissed. I'm honestly worried for our relationship now, because she keeps looking at me like she's trying to read my mind, and then she gets all mad.

It's confusing me, and it's all I can think about. She's all I can think about.

Was it something I did? Or said? Or something I didn't do?

Whatever the hell it is, I need to figure it out, because it's putting distance between me and my girlfriend and I hate it. 

I had got out of a meeting with one of our main suppliers a few minutes ago, only to be pinned with the news of my girlfriend's departure.

As much as I wanted to step back and let her come to me about it, is as much as I wanted to burst throw her doors and tell her how much I was sorry for whatever I did.

How much I wanted to be with her, and that I'd do anything to make it up to her.........that I loved her.

I spent a few hours more at the office, trying to finish the mountain of paperwork and filing, whilst trying make sense of the current mess in my life. Finally giving up on trying to focus, I decide it's best if I just go home.

But that's not where my car was going. Hell, I didn't even know where in was going. All I knew was that, I loved Kristen, and I'd do just about anything to fix this.

Then, the sound of a screech filled my ears. It was all I heard, and all I could hear. The feeling of a striking pain, soared through my body.

I couldn't scream. I couldn't move. All I felt was pain. Pain in every part of my body. Then it all went black.

Kristen POV:

Plopping down on to my couch with a sigh, I rub my temples out of frustration. I still hadn't spoken to Sierra about the photos, I'd been avoiding it.......and her. Whenever I thought I had finally mustered up the courage to talk to her, I'd end up getting mad at her and walking off.

And every time, she'd look even more confused and worried. Her composure was completely out of character since, and it pained me to know it was my fault. She was off her game, and it was starting to affect her job.

Sometimes I'd pass by her office and hear her arguing with herself, not being able to make out what she was saying.

I felt completely frazzled, and it was hurting me to think about.

It was just around 7 by now, and I decided to turn on the tv, just to distract myself. Just then, the ring of my phone caught me, leading me to put down the remote, and reach over.

"Hello?"

"Turn to channel 17"

It was Lea.

"Lea, I'm not in the mo-"

"Now."

She sounded stern and precise, highly unusual for her. Taking her advice, I switch to channel 17.

Turning to see the news on, the headline catches my eye.

'Local company owner found unconscious in car accident'

The camera then turned to the scene, where they were pulling the body out from the car. As my eyes caught the full image, I felt an instant pit in my stomach.

I knew that car. I could never miss it. It was the car I'd been in so many times. The one I'd shared many kisses in, and the one where I first felt...........love.

"Kris? Kris are you okay? Are you there?" was all I heard in that moment.

"Meet me there" I said, not bothering to get a response.

Turning off the screen before me, I bolt out the door and straight to my car.
Without thinking, I dialed in a number I didn't think I'd have to use just this soon.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Sade?" I breathed out, still shaken from what I saw.

"Yes, and you are?" she replied.

"Uh, I'm Kristen, Sierra's-"

"Girlfriend, of course. What is it?" she cut me off in a cheery tone.

"Its Sierra, she's-"

"What- what's wrong?" she cut me off once again, but this time with a voice of distress.

"I'm......can you just get to the hospital?" I sighed, not knowing how I'm supposed to tell her over the phone.

"Y-yes I'll get there" she sighed, her voice shaking.

Hanging up the phone, I let out a small sigh and speed up a bit.

When I finally arrived, I sat in the car and thought for a moment. What if she was injured beyond repair? Or what if she had no intentions of wanting to see me, because you know I've been an awful girlfriend. What if she's gone.....

The thought of losing her made me urk. I felt the knot in my stomach tighten, as the sound of an ambulance siren filled the air. Letting out a shaky breath, I look down at my hands and notice that they were wet. I didn't even realize I was crying.

Wiping my tears, I attempt to compose myself as I shut the car off.

Sierra please don't leave me........
