Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 56

"I'm fine, can everyone just leave me alone?" I asked calmly as I flip through channels on the television

I was a little bummed that I missed MFE's fashion show but I was waiting to rewatch it in a hour's time so for now I was just flipping through channels while Sophia and Jeffrey kept bothering me

"We know you're not okay Courtney" Jeff spoke

I looked at him then back at the TV

I was not okay

But I wasn't going to show it, yesterday when I ended things with Eric, I was a mess. I could eat, I couldn't use my phone, I couldn't sew, I couldn't sleep, I was just...a mess

Sophia told Jeff everything and he literally rushed down here. For some reason, Eric told him not to come to work today and he's a little worried that he'll lose his job but I know Eric won't do that

I'm trying so hard not to think about him

"Courtney why didn't you tell us that she invited you over to a restaurant?"

I looked at Sophia "what use would it have been?"

"No use really but...."

I cut in "if It wasn't of any use then there was no need telling anyone" I turn back to the TV

Nobody could possibly understand what I was going through. My heart was so heavy that it hurts, it hurts like crazy. Knowing that I hurt Eric hurts me like crazy

"Do you want something to eat?" Sophia asked in a low tone

"No" I said

"Courtney you haven't eaten anything at all today" Jeff points out

"I'm not hungry" I seriously wasn't.

My entire being hurts. My stomach hurts, my head hurts, my eyes hurt, my back hurts, my leg hurts

Every freaking place hurts

"Courtney you'll fall ill if you go on like this" she sounded worried

I sighed and put down the remote before standing up but almost immediately after I got up, I felt dizzy and almost fell down but got caught by Jeff

"Are you okay!? They both asked as he puts me down on the chair

"Ye..Yes I'm fine, I'm just...I'm just a little dizzy" I place my hand on my forehead

What the hell happened?

"I'm getting you something to eat" Sophia gets up and walks away before I can protest

Jeff turns to me "you need to relax Courtney, no matter how much you say you're okay, I know you're not"

I look at him and look away without saying anything

"I don't even want to imagine how Mr Martinez feels right now, but all I know is that one of you just has to be okay"

I shake my head slightly "Jeff, it's not easy"

"I know it's not easy, but you can't give Theresa and Mrs Martinez the privilege of seeing you broken"

I looked down at my hands, just the thought of the whole thing makes me tear up again

Before I could start crying, Jeff just pulls me into a hug

"You'll be fine Courtney, we're here for you"

I appreciated them, I appreciated everything that they were doing but in this case, I don't think I can ever be fine
