Erich's pov
I grabbed my credit card and started lining up the white powder that sat on my coffee table.

After making it in a thin line, I leaned down, and covered one of nostrils. I snorted the white coke into my nose.

I started coughing, and grabbed my water. I took a sip and sighed.

It's been two weeks, 14 days, 7 hours, 56 minutes, and 37 seconds since Claudia left me.

I remember that night so vividly.

Her face, soaked in tears.

Her body, trembling in anger.

That night replays in my head every day.

I've called Claudia probably a thousand times, texted her five thousand times, and left her voicemails five hundred times.

She didn't answer.

I didn't know where she was, what she was doing, or even HOW she is.

Maria won't say shit, and neither will those guys at the coffee shop.

It's been fucking hell.

I went into my alcohol cabinet and took out the bourbon. I took a long sip, wiping off any access.

God, I fucking miss her.

She took all of her clothes, but left the ones that I bought for her.

Everything she paid for with her own money was gone.

I sat down on the couch and started to cry, like a little baby.

I can't believe she's gone.

I grabbed my phone and called Ivana.

"Ivana, get your fucking ass over here." I spat her.

"What? Why?"

"I want to fuck you, duh. Now get over."

"What about Claudia?" She asked and I cringed.

"Oh, for the love of god, just stop ASKING QUESTIONS." I yelled.

"Fine, I'll be over in ten." She said and hung up.

I put the coke and alcohol away, and wiped off any powder that could've been on my nose.

Claudia's pov
It's been two weeks ever since I've left.

It's been rough, very rough.

I gave mila to Anton and Johnathan, who were more then happy to take her.

Luckily I got my old apartment back.

I just threw myself into work and school, barely even thinking about Erich.

But at night, I sobbed like a bitch.

I fucking missed him. I know, stupid, right? 

I wanted to forgive him.

But I couldn't, no matter what.

I knew he was out, doing drugs and drinking and fucking girls.

Which sucked, because while he was fucking some whore I was sitting at home sobbing into my arms while Maria fed me ice cream.

Maria's been with me through it all.

She told me Erich demanded to tell her where I was, and even threatened that he would fire her, but she didn't give up.

And if fired her, I'd kill him.

He's called so many times, that whenever I hear my phone ringing, I get a headache.

But I wanted to forgive him, I still do.

Because I love him. I always will.

"Anton, Johnathan!" I yelled as I walked into the coffee shop.

Fortunately, They gave me by job back, which was amazing.

"Hi beautiful." Mathew said.

Mathew was the new guy Anton and Johnathan hired. He always flirted with me, which was cute, but he wasn't really my type and I WASN'T looking for any boyfriend.

"What did we say about pet names?" I asked playfully while setting my purse down.

"That's a compliment, not a pet name." He defended and I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever." I huffed out and smiled at him.

"Are John and Anton here?"

"No, they had to go do something." He responded while going to the door, flipping over the closed sign to open.

"So, how are you?" He asked, and I sighed.

"Honestly? Life fucking sucks." I responded, and my coworker Lorelei walked in.

"Hi bitches!" Lor exclaimed and I chuckled.

Lorelei always had so much energy, which cheered me up from my depressing life.

"Claudia!" She exclaimed while grabbing me.

"Me, Mathew, and a few friends are going out tonight to this REALLY cool club." She said and I sighed.

"Lor lis-"

"Come on Claudia! You've been throwing yourself into work and school, and when your not, your sulking about your rich ex. Just come out go, drink, smoke some weed and have fun!" She exclaimed and I smiled.

"If I get my school shit done, then fine." I said and she groaned.

"FUCK school, It's Friday, you can do it tomorrow." She said and I sighed.

"Fine, I'll go out, but your paying for my drinks." I joked and she hugged me.

"Yay! Maybe you'll stop crying about that bastard for once." She muttered and I rolled my eyes. Mathew didn't take his eyes off me, staring like a creep.

"Are you okay?" I asked. He sighed.

"Yeah I'm alright." He muttered and walked off. Weird. Suddenly the door opened, and I saw John and Anton with Mila.

"MILA." I screamed and ran to her. She started happily barking, while I pet her.

"I still feel bad for leaving you guys with her." I said and John scoffed.

"Sweetheart, you trained him so well. He barely barks, and only bothers us for when he has to eat, drink, play, or go to the bathroom. It's really not a big deal." He said and I smiled.

"I think I'm going to sell him soon." I said and Anton gasped.

"What? Why!" He yelled.

"I..I can't take care of her anymore. It's too expensive." I said and Anton scoffed.

"Then we'll take him." John said and took out his wallet. He took out five hundred dollars, and gave it to me.

"He's ours now." John said and I felt my eyes get watery.

God, I'm such a baby!

"Thank you guys, you don't realize how much your saving me right now." I said and they laughed.

"It's okay, now get back to work." John said and I gave them one last smile before running to the back.
