Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 59

Eric's POV

"Please talk some sense into this boy Austin" my mum said

"Barbara stop it, can't you see your son right now?"

"All I can see is him being childish right now"

I sat quietly on my sofa, with my elbow resting on the arm rest and my forehead resting on my closed fist

"You're trying to tell me that you refused to go to work simply because Courtney broke up with you?" I've never found my mom so annoying in my life

How she even found out about the breakup should be questionable

"You talk as if you didn't know that he was in love with her" my father spoke

"Oh please" I opened my eyes slowly to look at Theresa who was standing beside my mum

I keep trying to comprehend why she was in my house but I wasn't seeing any valid reason

"Did you really think you guys would work out?" She asked me

I didn't answer but instead just stared at her

She sighed and walked to seat beside me

"My love" she took my hand off my lap and intertwined it with hers "it's for the best. You guys weren't made for one and other."

I simply brought the hand that was placed on the arm rest to the one she held and removed her hand from mine

I stood up and pulled my t-shirt down before picking up my phone and looking at them

"I want you two out of my house" I indicate to my mum and Theresa before walking to the stairs

"Excuse me?" I heard my mum but I didn't repeat myself

"Eric" she called out to me but I still didn't respond and I just went up the stairs and into my room

I closed the door behind me before walking to seat on my bed

I learn forward, placing my elbows on my knees and resting my face in my palm

I sighed and picked up my phone

I've been trying so hard not to call Courtney, not to go back to her house. I can't even lie, I'm not in anyway okay

I'm really trying to be, but I just can't, not right now anyways

I haven't even been able to go to work for the past two days because I couldn't think straight. I didn't think I was going to be such a mess because someone broke up with me but here I am

Even this whole room reminds me of her

Courtney's POV

I sat quietly in my bedroom, I had my back resting on the bed frame and my legs pulled up against my chest.

I had my attention focused on nothing but the necklace in my hand

My Sapphire

I love this necklace, just as much as I love who got it for me

Even though I had to give him up, I wasn't going to get rid of this. I can't believe how my life just got turned over in a flash, I don't know if I should be the happiest person right now, or the saddest

I just shake all the thoughts away and put my necklace back on before heading out to the kitchen

Sophia went to get some painkillers for me because I've been having this serious backache that I can't even explain
