Broken Hearts - TreeBros Part 2 - The Separate Journeys

Chapter 30

A week later...

Evan's POV:

Connor is sitting on my bed, he said he wanted to talk with me and I don't know what to think. This talk could go in either direction.

"So..." I say, my hands start to sweat.

"I've been thinking." Connor says.

"Thinking?" I ask.

He nods.

"About what?" I say.

"Look I know you want this whole situation to work out just as well as I do but I think it's just best that... for now..." He has trouble getting the words out.

He's breaking up with me, this is it. And it's all my fault.

"Just because I'm living farther away now and that whole situation, I think it would be best if we stop seeing each other for a while..." Connor says, he looks down at the ground as he does.

My heart begins to shatter, I try my best to hold back my tears. My chest feels like it's burning as I try to hide my emotions.

"I-it doesn't have to be for that long, I just think we need a break from one another." Connor says.

I just nod, I turn away from him. I open the door but his hand reaches in front of me and he stops me.

"You're not leaving until you confirm with your own voice Evan." He says, I can tell he's being serious.

I can't even look at him, I rest my head up against my bedroom door. A tear slides down my cheek and onto the floor.

"I-I understand" I say.

Connor sighs.

"I better go then, I have to pack. I'm going back to university tomorrow." Connor says, I can hear him start to gather his things and head out the window.

~~~

I'm laying on my bed, tears are running down my face. I have a box of tissues right next to my bed and a box of chocolates that mom got me after I told her the news. She cried when I told her, I never knew she cared that much. I'm watching YouTube on my phone, suddenly a notification appears across my screen, a text from Jared. I click on it.

Jared: I heard what happened

Jared: Connor told me all about it

Jared: he said you didn't take it well

Evan: I didn't

Jared: you know even though I can be a bitch to you sometimes I just want you to know I care

Evan: sometimes?

Jared: ok all the time

Jared: anyway do you wanna go get some fro yo or something

Evan: I'm a mess right now so not really

Jared: I can do delivery

Evan: no thanks

Jared: come on Evan

Evan: I said no Jared

Jared: Fine

Jared: tomorrow?

Evan: maybe

I sigh and shut my phone off, I throw it across my room. I rest my face into my pillow and cry. My tears soak into the pillow. My heart feels as if it's aching. It feels shattered, torn, broken. There's no repairing this damage. There's no hope.
