love to hate you.

Missed Calls

17th November 2023, Las Vegas

Emilia's POV

I couldn't move, couldn't talk.  All I did was looking after Pierre.

He left. I shouldn't be surprised, I fucked everything up.

My whole body hurts. I can't progress what just happened.

Please... Please don't let this be the end.

I feel someone taking my hand, thru my watery eyes I can only assume it's Daniel. He pulls me after him, away from everyone. I knew every single person in the hospitality was looking at us, I felt their eyes on me.

Daniel closes the door of what I think is his drivers room. He makes me sit down and kneels down in front of me. I see his mouth moving but I can't hear what he says - all I could hear was Pierres words over and over again.

"MIL!!! BREATH!!" Daniel screams at me, making me realize I stopped. I take a breath and wipe the tears off my face.

That's when I see the worry in Daniel's eyes. "Fuck Mil don't ever do this again. You scared the shit out of me."

"What?" I ask slowly coming back.

"You stared and just stopped breathing. What happened there with Pierre?"

"I fucked up."

"Yeah I figured... You wanna talk about it?"

I shake my head and he nods just taking me in his arms. I try not to break out in tears again but Dannis hugs have this hold over someone that feels like a safe place - So I do break out in tears once again.

Daniel holds me like this until my tears slowly dry.

"Thank you.." my voice weak and quiet.

He smiles at me - The smile that always brightens everyones day "Anytime Mils"

I refresh my makeup and take a deep breath. "Okay.. let's get back to work."

-------

I barely manage to keep myself together for the rest of the day but I had no choice, I was still at work. After we finished everything off I decided to finish the rest of my work from my hotel room. Before heading out I check my phone and see 6 missed calls from Charlie. I sigh and put my phone away. My only priority is to get back to the hotel, under my blanket and bailing my eyes out. Or - my preferred option- if I find a Grocery Store I'll probably just drain my pain in any kind of Ice cream or whatever.

The Universe must hate me. No shops are open, no fast food anywhere close to me available. God the things I would do for a Pizza right now...

After what feels like forever I open the door of my hotel room and go straight to the bed. I sit down but all I could do was stare at the floor.

I lost the love of my life.

And everything was my fault.

The thoughts of the night gives me a shiver and I have a feeling that I have to throw up. I fucking slept with Pierres best friend. Out of everyone in this world of course he wasn't just a simple guy I met at the club.. of course.

The pictures of the night with Nadri flashed before my eyes, and the way Pierre looked at me when he found out. Tears fall down my face. The feeling of having to throw up was no longer a feeling, I run into the Bathroom and make it just in time. I cry and my body begins to tremble.

"WHY?!"

"Why did you sleep with my best friend ?!?!"

"You ripped my heart out!!"
