Love At First Sight Part Two

Chapter 249 - broken

So.... I'm back. Probably not for weekly uploads  but I'll try to upload something from time to time. Hope y'all enjoy❤️
And Eve, if you read this please send me a message here or on Instagram, it's been some months already and I'm a little worried 🥺❤️

Gigi's POV

It's about two in the night  as my phone suddenly goes off. At first I cannot tell what sound it is, of course I at first think it's the twins but then I realise that they're sleeping peacefully right next to Ben and me in their little beds. This is when I realise that somebody is calling me. As I look at my phone I see that it's Eve. This is kinda weird, she barely calls me at all and especially not at this time at night. That's why I immediately know that something serious must've happened. I take my phone, quietly leave the room to not wake Benji and the two sand then click the green symbol.

I can hear immediately that she's crying and that she's in the car. "Eve, what happened?", I say and she immediately answers: "Erling and I had a t-terrible argument an we broke up. And you're the o-only ones where I c-can go right now. I'm currently twenty mi-minutes away from you." "Alright. Give me a call when you're here so I can open the door for you.", I answer calmly whilst being totally shocked on the inside. Erling and Eve have broken up? The dream couple broke up only weeks after getting engaged? What the hell happened?

About half an hour later, as Eve and I are sitting on the sofa, I find out about the reason. And it's only now that I realise today's date. It's the first death day of their daughter and as Eve tells me what happened I find out that their breakup and their loss are directly connected.

"So as you know today is the first anniversary of our baby girl's loss. We both were and are incredibly sad but we...we have different ways of showing our emotion. Erling wanted to talk about it all day long but I... I just couldn't. It still hurts too bad and I still... I still blame myself and he just doesn't understand that it will take much more time to process it all, that I'll have to work for some more months or years until I can stop blaming myself. I told him several times but he just won't get it and instead accused me of not being sad enough even though I suffer more and more every single day. And at the end he said something that pretty much sounded like he was saying that if had been more careful and loving our baby girl would still be there and that me not wanting to talk about it is like an admission of having failed. And that just hurt too much,nobody has ever said such hurtful things to me and so I told him that if he really things like that he should maybe get and marry another girl who will let him lock her up at home whilst she's pregnant. Then I left and now I'm here.", Eve explains whilst still crying and shaking as he'll. "What should I do Gigi? It hurts so incredibly much!", she then adds whilst looking at me. This look really breaks my heart, I can clearly see how hurt she is and that she really doesn't know what to do anymore. And if I get to see Erling he better be watching out or I'll fucking kill him for saying such awful things! A loss like that is bad enough already but then being judged for your way of hurting like that? By the person you thought you were gonna marry?

"Shhhh, come here.", I say whilst pulling her close, "Everything is gonna be alright. What Erling said is horrible and you've suffered enough already, it's good to set clear boundaries and enough is enough. I know that this is incredibly painful for you right now and I fear that I cannot do much to help you except for telling you that you can stay here for as long as you want or need to and that we all will always be there for you. And I can offer you to talk with Erling. But most importantly I'll be there for you whatever the next months or years are bringing. But believe me, everything is gonna be alright. The pain will stop one day and I'll help you to get to that day as soon as possible." She just continues crying upon my shoulder and digs her fingertips into my back. Seeing her that broken hurts so damn much but I will do anything to make her feel better in with a bit of luck it'll work.
