{ Toris POV }
"Get up we have a meeting this morning" Iz called knocking on my door, I sit up holding my head as I get a bit dizzy.
Three years later and it still feel's crazy i'm here. Who would have thought that in three years I would have a successful clothing brand with my two high school best friends. Not me.
I get up stretching and letting out a big yawn, as I look at myself in the mirror I look over at my jewelry. I push down the burning feeling as I look at ring he got me.
We never made it to our week in New York, but I guess living there for the past two years made up for it. Not really.
Things would have ended up better if it wasn't for fucking Emit I like to think, but I knew something that good wouldn't last long for me. They never did.
- Flash Back -
It was almost christmas, two weeks from in fact. Everything was good, Lucy found a job at a cafe and all three of us moved into a bigger apartment. Matt and Lucy had even been on a few dates.
Erich was supposed to be coming by to help me drop somethings off at donation, both of the girls were at work so I sat in our living room wasting time on my phone. A knock pulled me out of my bored state.
"Hey baby, let me just go-" I say assuming it was Erich, I wasn't looking though "Tori?" what the hell.
"Emit? what are you doing here" I stop in my tracks staring at what looked like a lost boy.
"I- uh- I just wanted to see you and hope we could talk" he rubbed the back of his neck looking down, I did have to admit I missed him.
"Uh sure- yeah" I didn't move though we just stood there, him in the door and me not to far in front of him.
I fiddled with the ring Erich gave me a few days ago, he said it was a 'just because I love you gift'
"I know I said some fucked up things, i'm sorry" he started "I let my emotions take over like a child, I miss you I really do" I began to feel a bit uneasy with his tone.
"I miss you too Emit but you really hurt me, but I think we could work this out" I give him a half smile as he gave one back.
"I'm sorry I can't be friendly, I tried, I did. Tori I fucking love you so much it hurts, it really does escpesally to see you happy with him" his tone turned venomous.
"Emit-"
"No listen to me Tori, I have loved you since we graduated and when I saw you at your birthday time stopped" he said in a soft voice.
I took a deep breath, "Emit, I love you so much but not in the way you want" I whisper the last part and take a step closer to him as he looked at the floor in defeat.
"Fuck Tori do you know what you do to me, you drive me fucking insane" he spat clenching his fist, I bit my bottom lip. I hate how upset and destroyed he looked and over me.
"I-" he cut me off by pulling me in a kiss, I froze at first not knowing what was going on, everything was moving to fast.
I push him off of me wiping my mouth with the back of my hand "Emit what the fuck, you can't do that" I yelled.
"Can't you see and feel how much I love you" he pleaded "Emit I think you should leave" I say in almost a whisper. He gives a wordless nod and walked out of the already opened door.
I felt disgusted with myself that I let him kiss me for that long, or that he kissed me at all. It's not that I have mixed feeling about everything I know where stand which is with and always will be with Erich.
I debated on telling Erich, but it was meaningless and I would save him from murdering someone. I mean what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right?
He never showed up to pick me up. I figured he got caught up at work so I drove over to his place cause he wanted to have dinner tonight.
I wanted to vomit every time I thought about Emits actions, he took it to far.
Oh what my life has turned into.
I go in through the garage walking into the house, it was trashed. Glass was broken, things were thrown around, chairs flipped. "Erich!" I called out frantic.
"Erich" I called out again but this time he came into view, he looked a mess with a half empty bottle in his hands. I rush up to him to make sure he was okay "Erich baby, are you okay" I take his face in my hands but he refused to look at me.
He saw, only explanation.
He jerked his face away, his face had a cold hard scold on it. He grabbed my jaw rougher then usual and pulled me into a hard kiss. This wasn't him, I could feel it.
I pulled away "talk to me, what's wrong" I plead.
He grabbed my chin hard to the point where I want to cry, there will be a bruise there.
"Did you like it, huh?"
"Eri-"
"Do you love him more than me" he spat. This Erich scared me he wasn't the Erich that loved me and cared for me, this Erich was dark and blinded by hatred.
"Erich-"
"I bet he fucked you after, right?"
"Erich your hurting me" I screamed jerking out of his grip. I ran my hand along where his was, it was already tender.
"Erich I don't love him I-"
"Save your bullshit, I fucking heard you and saw you" he spat disgust filled his emotion and tone. To my luck he most likely only heard the part where I said I love you then didn't see me push him away.
"Erich just let me-"
"No I don't want to hear your excuses" he cut me off.
"baby listen-"
" I knew I couldn't trust you, I knew sooner or later you would go back to your old ways sleeping around like that slut you are"
His words were a million stabs to the heart, he didn't mean it, he couldn't have. He is drunk and pissed, which he has a right to be. But he wouldn't even listen to me.
"Erich you don't mean that"
He walked up to me but I took a step back and hit a wall, his stair could send anyone six feet under if looks could kill. He crashed his lips onto mine aggressively then moved to my neck, I would normally love this but it didn't feel right at the state he was in.
"Erich-"
He went to take my shirt off.
"Erich stop" I shoved him off making him stumble back.
He needs to cool off, he's drunk and doesn't know what he's doing. He walked back over "I fucked some bitch today since you fucked yours" he spat, my whole world stopped everything came falling down, I didn't know if I should believe him or not.
I swallow the tears and the screams and shove past him, I couldn't look at him. Causing knowing him he did fuck some else today. I look over at the mess of a living room and saw a pair of red lace panties. And there was my proof.
I had no desire to be here right now. He grabbed my wrist we both look over at the underware and look back at each other, "Tori-"
"Save it, I didn't want to kiss him but this relationship obviously meant so much to you that giving us up didn't take a lot"
"Tori j-"
"Just let me go" I pleaded as he held me by my wrist.
"If you leave I don't ever want to see your fucking face again" he spat, I could see the anger in his eyes but behind that I saw hope. Which I didn't have anymore.
I yank my hand away and head straight to the door, anger took over my vision as I opened the door slamming it behind me. I froze behind the closed door.
"Fuck" his scream was muffled followed by crashes and breaking glass. I let out a muffled sob with my hand over my mouth.
I feel like the world is caving in on me.
{ Brianna's POV }
Me and Lucy were sitting on the couch eating some popcorn and watching a movie, the door burst opened with a tore up crying Tori, we rush over to her as she collapsed in our hands.
"Hey, hey shhh, what's wrong" Lucy stroked her hair as we all sat on the floor next to the door.
"W- we- we broke up" she cried out making me and Lucy stair at each other.
I texted Matt so that he could go check on Erich, but something had to be really wrong for them to break up, I really thought they would last.
"H- he fucked s-some bitch after e-emit kissed me" she sobbed making us hug her tighter.
That son of a bitch is really going to get it.
"Shhh, everything will be okay"
We spent the next few days just comforting her letting her cry pain out, he tried to come around but I drove him away. He was only making it worse.
"Bri please just let me-"
"Erich you fucked up big time and your lucky I don't bet the shit out of you- again"
"Just let me see her" he pleaded.
"Just leave" I slammed the door in his face, he had come around everyday.
"I'll be back" he yelled but muffled due to the door.
It had been a month now and he slowly but not fully had stopped calling and showing up to our apartment. Tori got a job at the same cafe as Lucy and has been doing better, I don't talk to Erich as often since he is a cheating bastard. I would have quit my job cause I just can't look at him the same but one of us needs to make good money.
- New Flash Back /still Bri's POV/-
"I'll miss you, call me okay" I hug Tori tight not wanting to let go, she was leaving for Ohio to stay with her dad. Luckily Lilly was smart enough to dump Jacksons loser ass.
She made a deal with her dad that she would work for him and he would pay for her collage, only way he could get her to let him pay.
She needed a change from everything and everyone, this was going to be good for her. She really did love him with everything she had but he crushed that but I know she still loves him.
"Of course, please look after Lucy. I'm relaying on you" I nodded wordlessly wiping my tears as she just left hers.
"You too if you hurt her I will hunt you down" Tori exclaimed to Matt, Lucy and him were dating now.
"I wouldn't let anything happen to her, over my dead body. Have a good time okay" she nodded then moved to Lucy.
"I love you okay, you'll be okay I promise. Call me for anything and I mean that" she held her head in her hands as they both had streams of tears.
And with that she walked away in the airport.
"Oh hey, what's up" Matt's on the phone as we walk back to the car.
"Oh yeah we're just leaving the airport. I'll meet you at your's" Erich, fuck. No one told him she was leaving.
Matt held the phone out for me as I take it slowly putting it up to my ear.
"Hey Eri-"
"What the fuck does he mean she left" he spat.
"She went to-"
"She didn't even sat bye" he began to sniffle.
"Erich this is what's best for her right now, plus you have no one else to blame you che-"
"No I fucking didn't"
"I didn't mean anything I said that night, I was mad and was scared of losing her to him so I pushed her away myself but I hated it. The underware was a christmas present for her, don't ask, I threw shit around when I got home and they got out. Bri I promise you have to believe me" he begged.
I wanted to, but what was done was done.
"Erich i'm sorry" was all I could say before the call ended.
{ Toris POV }
As I walked onto the plane all I could think about was Erich. I didn't say bye but he didn't deserve a bye.
I was doing better but not great, I hoped by doing this I can start fresh and leave the sad broken Tori behind. I tend to do this, run when things get to hard like this.
Things got really bad with my mom cause of the whole Jackson thing, I left for San Fran, Emit left me and I ran to LA with Erich, but that one ended up good.
As I wait to get off the plane the flight attend pulled me aside, thank god it wasn't Cindy.
"You have to go this way" She lead me to the stairs which went to the runway.
I wasn't in the mood to ask question's so I just went with it, what was the worst that could happen.
I walk down looking at my feet so I don't eat shit. "Tori" I peak my head up to see him.
His plane behind him, of course.
I felt my heart ache at the sight of him, I bit my lip to hold in the tears begging to come out. He stood there in a black suit and black tie with some flowers in his hand. I stop distancing myself.
I wanted nothing more then to be in his embrace once again, to feel his lips on mine. But I couldn't he cheated on me. He's a cheater, but my heart still longed for him.
"Erich what are you-"
"I'm sorry" he walked towards me with a sorrow face "I'm sorry what happened, I didn't mean any of it I swear. And I didn't cheat on you the-" he looked down sheepishly "- the underwear was for you and I guess it got thrown out when I through shit around"
"Erich if this was an attempt to get me back-"
"Please just come home with me"
"Please don't make this harder then it already is"
"It doesn't have to be, I love you and I always will. Please"
"Even if you didn't cheat everything is already done and over with" I look down so he doesn't see the tear run down my cheek.
"But you promised, you promised you to never leave me" he pleaded dropping his shoulders.
"P-promises are meant to be broken"
