Elias Easton

"Anthony is gone."

Eric hesitantly told me this. While on the outside I was completely calm and emotionless, on the inside all my emotions literally exploded.

Sam layed in my arms, hugging me tightly, while I gently caressed his back and petted his head every now and then.

My father and Eric stood in front of me, and my mom sat on the verge of my bed looking worried, tired, but still relieved that I was alive.

What annoyed me though, was Leah's overdramatic crying in the back of the room. Unfortunately the room that I recognized as being one of the few rooms I had in my medical area wasn't big enough so that Leah actually sat just a few meters away from me.

Who even let her in?

I was still pissed at her that one of her men tried to rape Anthony and traumatized him for life. But I was still too weak to start a fight with her.

"For how long have I been unconscious?" I asked, hoping that I didn't waste too much time, laying here like a corpse.

"For nearly two weeks, honey." My mom replied, which made me gasp. "One of the doctors, I think his name was Mason, he said that the pills alone wouldn't have had such a strong effect, but because you drank them with alcohol your body will probably need several weeks to recover."

"I can't lay here for weeks and do nothing!" I exclaimed frustrated.

"This is all Anthony's fault. Me and your parents knew from the whole beginning that something was wrong with him and that he wasn't as nice as he always seemed to be." Leah suddenly started ranting. "Look at what he has done to you." She added before continuing to cry dramatically.

No matter how hard I wanted to be mad at Anthony, I couldn't.

The only emotions I felt at this moment were pain and disappointment. But I wasn't disappointed at Anthony. I was disappointed at myself, because I was the reason why he didn't want to stay with me and even poisoned me to get away from me.

My mind still couldn't really realize that he was actually gone, but my heart hurt like a bitch.

I thought multiple times of letting him free to live his normal life and be happy again, but I was a selfish bastard that didn't want to share and wanted to keep my precious gem to myself.

However, there was no way that no matter for how long I would have held him captive in here, he would have never just started to love me and forget about everything I had done to him.

His constant bitching and the numerous times he showed and told me how much he hated me only proved me, that a healthy relationship between the both of us would have never formed over time.

To be honest, I also didn't know how a healthy relationship worked. I knew that I did some mistakes, but overall I always tried my best to make him a little bit happy and get him to at least like me. But obviously nothing worked out.

And it wasn't like we would sit together and have a proper conversation, where he would tell me how to make things work between us, because he didn't want to be with me in the first place.

"Leah is right, he wasn't the right choice for you." My father said with great disappointment that was obviously directed towards me. For him it was probably the best feeling in the world, that what he said to me at the beginning about Anthony was right.

But again Anthony was the last person I'd be mad at. I didn't know if someone pushed him to poison me or if it was really his own choice. Maybe his parents were involved in all of this, I mean we were visiting them and just two hours later I passed out on my cold bathroom floor.
