3: It doesn't bother me at all...

Ericka.

I woke up early this morning to make sure I had enough time to get ready for work. Luckily I finished and still have enough time to make it there.

Just as I was about to walk out my apartment, my phone started ringing. I took it out of my pocket, my boyfriend Daniel is calling. I picked up.

"Hey, Babe!" I said.
"Hey..." He sounded...guilty? Nervous? Sad?
"What's the problem? Is everything okay?"
"Um...I'm really, really sorry, Ericka, but...I think we should break up."
I started to tear up, "W-What? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, I just...I don't really love you as mush as I use to."
"It's another girl, i-isn't it?"
"Goodbye, Ericka."

He really just hung up on me...I can't believe him right now.

I quietly sobbed to myself, wanting to call in sick today...but I'm not. I'm gonna go anyways, but I can't cry. I barely know these people yet, I can't let them see me like this.

....

I was walking to Smosh Games' room and saw Damien headed the opposite way. "Hey, Damien!" I said, smiling.

"Hey, Boze," He replied without making eye contact, walking right past me. Wow, someone's not in a good mood today... and he usually calls me by my real name...

I walked into our room and saw that no one was in here. Great. Wait, they're probably in the conference room, that's probably why Damien was walking that way.

I headed there, and they were all in here.

I walked into the loud room and sat in a chair between Mari and Damien. Damien shifted his chair away from me slightly. I ignored him and tapped Mari, "Hey, why are we in here?"

"Oh, we're about to have a meeting soon, so we came in here early," She explained. I nodded and was now trying to figure out why Damien is acting like this towards me. What did I do to him?

Who was his best friend again? Oh right, Shayne was his name.

I fortunately remembered what he looked like and walked over to him. "Hey, Shayne."

"What's up?" He greeted and asked.

"I know we don't talk much, but I need to ask you something...do you know why Damien is acting so weird today?"

"Oh, don't take it personal, he's acting like that towards everyone, even me. He ranted to me this morning about it, but I don't remember it that well. It was something about, um...his heart was broken...someone is with another person...and he is not happy with that someone...uh, I don't remember anymore then that."

"Wow, that's crazy, he must've took whatever happened very hard..."

"Yeah, he's not doing well right now."

What happened between last night and this morning? Wait, someone is with another-...am I the reason why he's mad? He's heartbroken?....Does he....does he like me more than as a friend? No, but what if it IS actually about someone else?

Ian came in the room, "Okay guys, let's get this started."

....

At least four hours after the meeting, we just got finished filming for a show called Board AF.

Damien wasn't the same, and I think everyone that was there noticed too. He barely made any jokes, and didn't even try to win the game we played.

I'm actually really worried about him. Did someone break up with him too?

Who would be stupid enough to cheat on him? He's so good-looking, and...wait...I-I said that? I don't like him, that's impossible...or maybe it is possible....I do. I might love him, is that crazy to say about someone you just met a few days ago?

We were supposed to be here until midnight today filming, but they're letting us go early.

Damien walked out first, not talking to anybody, and the rest of us said goodbyes to each other and went home.

....

Back in my apartment, sitting in complete silence and darkness, sobbing nonstop.

I loved him with all my heart for a whole year, and now he's found someone else. He replaced me. He's dead to me.

No, I need to be somewhere, anywhere but here. I can't be alone, at least not right now.

The only person I could think of at the moment is Damien. I don't care if he's mad at this point, I need someone right now.

I decided to call him.

Damien.

I was sitting on my couch watching TV when my phone rang. I picked it up and looked at the name...it was Boze.

Even though I really didn't want to answer it, I did.

"Hello?"
"Hey, Damien, I know you're not in the best mood right now, but...can-can I over to your place?" She sniffled. Is she crying?
"Uh, yeah, of course. I'll text you my address."
"Okay. Thank you."
"No problem at all."

Huh, she didn't sound too good...I wonder what happened to her...

....

There was a knock on my door. I got up and opened it, and there she stood. Her eyes were puffy and there were black streaks that went down her face. In that moment, all the anger that was in me left.

"Um, come in," I told her. She walked to the couch and sat down. Almost immediately after, she started to cry. I rushed to her and sat down, putting my hand on her shoulder. "What's the matter?"

"My boyfriend broke up with me this morning," She told me. I was completely taken aback by that. "I'm sorry for not telling you that I had one in the first place. He-He was cheating on me."

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry to hear that, Boze...but it's clear that he didn't deserve you," I said. She looked at me. "If he's stupid enough to think you weren't good enough, then he obviously didn't take time to get to know you better."

She smiled, "Thanks, Damien."

I held my arms out for a hug and she accepted, laying her head on my chest. I smiled, rubbing her back comfortingly.

Ericka.

I felt safe. I felt loved. I finally found someone who actually cares. Daniel didn't care about me this much.

I think this settles it...I'm in love with him.

I love him more than anything right now...he just doesn't know that yet.

Damien.

This is all I've ever wanted...to be able to make her feel better when she's sad. Even though I said I wasn't going to fall in love with her again, I think I am.

I love her more than anything, she just doesn't know that yet.

Well, now the both feel the same, but they don't know that yet. How will things be between them now?

see you later. ✌️
