Things had been going great for Erin and Harry. Of course they were both busy but were always making time for each other when they could. Even if it was quick little meetings before work or FaceTiming on breaks.
However, it had now been a week since the two of them had seen each other. Both being so caught up in their own lives and jobs.
It felt as though they'd turned a corner and were settling together again but this week had led Erin to overthink. Her brain going over and over the smallest little things, doubting herself and the things she's said and done.
The only updates she'd really gotten from him were short little texts or seeing posts on social media.
It made sense. He's a busy man with a hectic schedule and lifestyle. Erin had always understood that and always would. It didn't stop her from feeling incredibly lonely and left out of his life again though.
It had started to feel like as soon as he'd let her back in, he was better off without her again.
Erin threw her bag down onto the carpet before letting her body fall backwards onto her neatly made bed. Her arms outstretched across the fabric. She sighed heavily, staring up at the ceiling. The tears threatened to fall but she tried hard to keep it all inside.
She was caught off guard by the sound of her front door opening and closing. She quickly sat up, brushing through her hair and down her clothes.
"Erin?" Becca called out.
"Bedroom." Erin called back.
Becca's footsteps got closer before she appeared in the doorway. Leaning against the frame.
She gave Erin a sympathetic look."What?" Erin asked.
"What's going on?" Becca answered with a question of her own. She knew full well what was happening but needed to hear it from her.
"Nothing."
Becca sighed before walking into the room softly. She got closer before sitting down next to her on the bed.
"Has he called?" Becca spoke softly.
Erin took a deep breath in at the mention of Harry before letting out all of the emotions she'd been keeping in. Her body fell limp as Becca pulled her into her chest. Wrapping her arms around her and softly rubbing her back.
"I'll take that as a no."
Erin continued to sob, trying to breath in between but ending up choking.
"Woah. Hey! Hey. Deep breaths babe c'mon. Breathe with me." Becca let go of her and push her away slightly to look at her. She took a breath in and out and waited for Erin to calm down enough to do the same.
The two of them did this multiple times until Erin had calmed fully.
"It's like... now I have him back, I don't actually have him. He's off doing his thing but what do you give to the boy who has everything? The world he lives in is almost too good to be true. He's let me in, in so many ways and I'm so so grateful but what if he's better off without me? I'm so conscious of bothering him and being clingy and I feel like I'm bringing him down. This is part of the reason we broke up the first time."
Erin managed to get it all out through her little sobs and sniffs.
"Babe..." Becca pulled her in again. Resting her chin against the top of her head.
"First of all, any person who gets to be with you is the luckiest mother fucker in the world. You are dynamite Erin. I remember vividly when you broke up and it was crushing because when you're good... my god are you good. But when you're bad it's bad. But guess what? You cant have one without the other."
