To Be Alone - Hozier

---

"Fuck," I whisper as I dig my fingers into Justin's back to keep from moaning. My toes curl as I feel myself fall over the edge.

"Justin? You in there?" Telford asks just as he climaxes.

"Uh-yeah!" Justin says, while shutting his eyes and letting the the waves of pleasure pulse through him.

"Okay, I have a package for you!" Telford announces. Instead of letting the euphoria consume Justin and I, we try to get ourselves together and quickly start adjusting our clothes and hair. Just before Telford walks in, Justin finished buckling his pants and I slip on my right heel. "Oh, Eliza, I've been looking for you!"

"Sorry...Justin and I had to talk." I say, trying to sound upset and emotional.

Telford nods, "Well, get back to work."

Justin takes the package and looks at Telford, "Thank you!" He says breathlessly.

As I walk out of the office I begin to laugh to myself. Did I just orgasm with my boss standing outside the door?

I make my way to the hub where I see Kyle. My heart drops, shit I forgot about this. I confess to myself. "Hey!" I go to sit by him. 

"Hey..." Kyle says rather melancholy. I scoot chair up to where he sits.

"What's wrong?" I ask as I notice his sad demeanor.

"This girl I was sort of seeing...she ended it with me." Kyle confesses. My eyes get wide as I replay the words in my head. 

"Wait...what?" I lean back a little in shock. Kyle turns to me with wide eyes.

"Wait, Eliza, were we exclusive? I didn't know cause we never actually talked and-" I cut him off before he talks until his face turns blue with apologies.

"No, no you're good, I just haven't ever been with a guy who is in multiple relationships at once!" I begin to laugh as I quickly remember the fact that I have slept with the Prime Minister. "Actually, scratch that." I mumble under my breath. 

"I'm sorry, Eliza, I hope I didn't upset you!" Kyle tries to comfort me. 

I laugh, "Kyle seriously, I'm fine! Anyway, fuck the girl that ended it with you." I support Kyle as we both lay there in silence, just thinking. It is such a comfortable silence, like there is an understanding that all that was needed to be said, has been said, and now we just sit. We both just don't want to think alone. 

I hear Kyle's work phone go off and then a long sigh from Kyle, "Duty calls..." Kyle sluggishly gets out of the chair and grabs his coat. 

"Kyle!" I call him before he leaves, he turns around quickly, "I'm sorry again for that girl. I know there is nothing worse than getting dumped..." I give him a sympathetic smile. 

"Thanks Eliza, see you tonight?" Kyle asks as I grab my phone and see a text from Telford.

"Sure thing!" We nod to each other goodbye. I turn back to my phone and see a all caps text from Telford. This can't be good. 

From: Telford

Seriously you two? I'm not stupid. Get up here now...both of you.

-T

Shit. We're caught. I roll my eyes and drag myself upstairs to Telford's office.I feel impending dread fill my stomach as I reluctantly make my way up the stairs. When I arrive I see Justin sitting there sullenly and Telford staring daggers at me. I sit down quickly with my wide eyes. 

"Seriously?!" Telford raises her voice as she shows a still from the video cameras. "I'm not stupid. Also, be quieter."  I blush at the last comment. I don't even try to look at Justin after that out of fear of awkwardness. "I thought we agreed y'all wouldn't see each other? Do either of you remember this?" 

"Look Telford, it's my fault. We, specifically I, got caught up in the moment, and I take full responsibility." Justin confesses while glancing at me. 

I roll my eyes and look at Justin, he can't take the blame for everything. "That's false, it was partially my fault. I didn't protest. Both of us are at fault here." 

"If something like this happens one more time...I will personally go to Sophie myself." Telford offers the ultimate threat. My jaw drops slightly, Telford isn't that evil is she?  "Is this understood?" My heart crumbles to the ground by my feet. 

I nod, unable to form words. Justin replies with a quick "yes". The two of us leave the tension filled room and congregate outside his office.

"So..." I look at Justin sadly. 

"Eliza," Justin replies, "You never know."

I stand up straight and look him sternly in the eye, "Justin stop! You are not sacrificing Sophie or the highest position in Canada for this. This. Is. It." Every word hurts, but I know this is what has to be done. 

Justin's eyes become full of sadness as he realizes this, "Eliza, I love you. I always will." 

"Justin, no." I narrow my eyes at him, "Don't do that. I'm going to walk away now and this is the last conversation we are even going to have about this relationship, okay?"My voice shaky and quiet. Justin nods,and I walk away quickly. I feel tears fill my eyes as I walk away as quickly as possible.

I lay my head against the rim of the bathtub while sipping red wine. The initial hurt of the break up hasn't happened...well, I guess it happened pre-hook up, but I'm not in despair. This time I know, I know I decided that breaking up was for the best. That relationship, in reality, would never have worked, and I won't let him give up everything for this 6 month relationship. But God it still hurts. Anytime I see a picture my heart aches a little bit. Oh, just kidding I found that despair that I wasn't feeling earlier. 

I check my phone and see a text from Kyle.

From: Kyle

Pick you up at 8:00?

-K

I get out of the tub and slip on a short body con dress before applying some eyeliner and lipstick. I'm not going home with anyone tonight. 

To: Kyle

sounds great!

-EN

We head to the club as Kate and I pile into Kyle's BMW. I scroll through my phone once more before turning it off. I drop my phone on the ground as I see something I thought would never see the daylight.

"STOP THE CAR!" I yell at Kyle. He slams on the breaks and I open the door, grab my phone and sprint towards the office building. 




A/N: I'm sorry this chapter was crappy...Pls tell me if this is boring or not. I have a couple ideas as to where this will lead but I want it to continue being as realistic as possible (IKR, Kinda funny I wanna keep it "realistic" ) or if y'all are bored, I can make it a lot more dramatic while still being like 60% realistic. Ya know? Cause IDK a lot of the times I think its annoying when fics are just too fictitious. But, I also want it to be entertaining. You guys have no clue how important feedback it to me!
