Ela's pov

I woke up. Tom's hand in mine. I quickly pulled away. I looked at my phone. 6:34 .
I slowly got out of the bed not wanting to wake him up.

I get out of his room slowly closing the door. I walk out of their apartment.

I haven't seen him for a month after that.

Tom's pov

I woke up. After a really long time I finally slept good, but something was off. Her hand was missing, she was missing.

I quickly looked at the spot where she slept. Empty.

Don't do this to me Ela. Not again.

I got out of my bed walking to the kitchen. Nothing. The living room. Nothing. Bathroom. Nothing.

She left her jacket here.

She always leaves forgetting something or someone behind.

Ela's pov

I couldn't stand to be there. With him.
His words hurt.

I was walking on the street. Thinking about what I just did. Maybe I just fucked up even more. Or maybe me leaving him was his best day.

That morning I got home, got ready for work, went to work. Continuing my day like nothing happened.

Continuing my month like nothing happened.

1 month skip

I'm getting ready for my dinner with Jack.
I only agreed because he said it was work related.

As I was putting my shoes on I saw the bracelet. The bracelet that I haven't worn since I left New York. It has just been sitting on my desk. Doing nothing but looking pretty.

I feel that I should get rid of it. It reminds me of him. But I can't.

Me and Jack get into the restaurant. We sit down and order.

"So Ela" Jack begins. "Yes?" "What did you want to talk about. Work related" I say emphasising the "work"
"Oh you know" "this and that" Jack says.
I look at him with the most emotionless expression.

"How are you doing in work?" He asks. "Good" I say. "Any problems with anything or anyone?" He asks. "No" I say back. He's my only problem in work.
"Any problems outside of work" He begins. "That could affect your work" He adds. "No" I say. "Something distracting you or someone?" He says big on the "someone". Was this dude actually asking me if I'm single? "No" I say with a pretty mean voice.

There was a long silence until they brought us the food. Thank god. I don't have to talk to him until I don't finish my food.

I was eating my food and I looked on the left.

I saw Bill.

In disbelief I looked quickly away and then back.
He was gone. I'm going crazy.

"I'm sorry, will you excuse me" I say getting up walking to the restroom. Looking all over the place, but I couldn't see him anywhere.

I suddenly bumped into someone. Their drink spilled all over me.

"Fuck I'm so so-" I begin to apologise looking up on the person.

Tom's pov

I was going back to my table with my drink.

Someone bumps into to. Oh fuck me.

I turn to the person. Oh fuck me twice.

"Fuck I'm so so-" she begins but stops as soon as she sees me. 

"What are you doing here?" I quickly ask her.

"Having dinner?" She says back. "Why here?" "Aren't you like too poor to even get a soda here?" I ask her. That was a big asshole move but I got angry.

Ela's pov

What did he just say? I slap him. Reflex.

"Fuck you Tom" I say in disbelief.
I just walk right past him into the restroom.

I can't breath. I run my fingers through my hair, looking at myself. What am I doing?

Tom's pov

I deserved that. She walks past me.
I stand there not knowing what to do. But something takes over. I can't wait no longer.
