Diya's pov

I cried all night rather than leaving my room to go eat dinner. Luckily, everyone knew better than to bother me. My mind rushed back to the day Athello and I first met to all the times we made love. I thought about how he held me that night after someone broke in. He hated himself for ever leaving me alone. How could that man do this to me?

I sobbed until I had a headache. My phone flashed as it turned on- stopping my stream of tears. I picked it up to see tons of voicemails from Joseline. Even one from a week ago. I saw messages too but not as many- they all seemed to be from 4 months ago. My phone was flooded with concerned coworkers,friends,Ken and the only one that truly broke my heart- Nikki.

I opened Nicole's text to see what she said to me.it was from 1 month ago and all it said was "I miss you".

I replied "I miss you most"

Better late than never.

My social feeds were filled with stories about Theo's new engagement. I scrolled to read headlines but was too horrified to open any.

"Knock knock- it's me"

Elias came in with a cigarette making me immediately scrunch up my nose.

"ew get that smoke outta here" I said through my tears.

"how are you?" Elias went straight to the point- ignoring my deflection about his cig.

"I'm sad" I admitted.

Elias sat next to me rubbing my back.
"I'm sorry that my friends are over right now. You can come join us out there if you'd like"

I shook my head. "I barely heard any of you guys. My tears have drowned everything out" I laughed sadly.

Elias pulled me in for a hug but I felt pathetic. It's been four months and Theo was engaged while I refused to even look at Elias sexually. I pulled away from the hug, crashing my lips onto his. It felt like a warm embrace. I needed more. Elias grunted once I disconnected our mouths.

"I've wanted you to do that for so long" he continued the kiss, making me wrap my arms around his neck. He pinned me against the bed on my back.

"Are you sure Diya?" He asked breathlessly.

"make me forget him" I whispered against his lips. Elias quickly yanked his shorts down. I sat up to stare at his bulge.

"Sit on my print" he mumbled.

I rocked back and forth, grinding on him through his boxers.

"shit" he looked up with his eyes closed as he bit his lip.

"Hey guys, we're about-" one of Elias' friends quickly went silent after walking in. I pushed Elias away in embarrassment.

"Oops my fault"

"oh my god" I face palmed.

"Don't be embarrassed" Elias encouraged.

"I'm sorry I just- I need to go on a walk" I informed him. I'm too desperate right now to be in this room.

I grabbed my key and phone then walked through the front door. I made sure not to look at any of his friends that I'm sure were staring. I put my fingers in my hair as the cool breeze hit me. I scratched my scalp as I walked away from the cabin.

I can not believe I just did that.
