Tristan's POV

It pained me to see Elona and not get much from her when I was at her apartment, but what did I expect? I wanted to hold her so badly, to feel her, but that wouldn't happen. I sat on the edge of the hotel bed, my head hanging with my shoulders sagged as if I was defeated. She defeated me. Was the text even a bad idea?

I let out a heavy breath as I stood up from the bed and walked out of the hotel room. I needed some air.

  • My Best Friend's Dad   Southampton

    Tristan's POVIt pained me to see Elona and not get much from her when I was at her apartment, but what did I expect? I wanted to hold her so badly, to feel her, but that wouldn't happen. I sat on the edge of the hotel bed, my head hanging with my shoulders sagged as if I was defeated. She defeated me. Was the text even a bad idea?I let out a heavy breath as I stood up from the bed and walked out of the hotel room. I needed some air. At this point, I thought being in Southampton would change my feelings or change my outlook on life, but the hurt just doesn't go away. I don't know how to deal with this. I have barely dealt with the loss and pain from losing Estelle and our unborn baby and now this...this was a punch to my gut.I walked down the street, it was a busy day and I found myself walking to the familiar spots that Estelle and I loved. Memories from our marriage, how in love we were and how an as

  • My Best Friend's Dad   An Apartment Mate

    Elona's POVSpooky had texted me if I was at the apartment and I told him that he was more than welcome to come around. I tidied up the lounge a bit, although there was nothing much to tidy up. I still felt hollow after that text from Tristan. I struggled to fall asleep as I reread it over and over again until I eventually fell asleep. He was really giving up on us, and he made it final... in a way. I just have to let it go because what if I can't forget what he did or might do or say again?There was a knock on the door as I neatly placed a scattered cushion on the sofa, and then I went to the front door, opening it. "Hey," I could literally feel myself light up seeing Spooky standing in front of me with a smile. A backpack slung over his shoulder and his hands were in his pants pockets.

  • My Best Friend's Dad   Helping Eric Move

    Tristan's POVI drank the rest of the evening just wanting to numb my feelings, especially after that text I sent to Elona last night. She just didn't respond to me, but she did read it. I really do need to get away from this place. There are too many reminders in this place. Being alone in this place with no one around would probably be my own downfall after years of grief. It was just work and Cris that kept me occupied.With a sigh, I checked my phone but still nothing from no one. I stood up from my bed. I didn't even know what time it was exactly that I came to bed. I went over to my closet and started to pack a bag for Southampton. As I packed, my feelings were still the same, but then a knock on the door made my heart race just a little. I left my packing and walked all the way to the front door in hopes that it would be Elona.I opened the door, and I was met with disappointment. "Eric, what are

  • My Best Friend's Dad   Moving In

    Elona's POVThe little drive to my apartment was silent. My father didn't ask anything about my visit to my mother's gravesite. I didn't even tell him about Tristan. I can't believe how he can still go back to being friends with the man who broke my heart. I guess my Dad knows him better because they knew each other for years, from college times already if I remember correctly.We pulled up in front of my apartment. There are apartments with the same designs next to them and stairs on the side leading to the top floor apartments. I kept staring at it even in this darkness, not moving an inch. "Are you okay?" my Dad asked.I sucked in a breath as I felt hollow inside, especially from the uninvited visitor at my mother's gravesite earlier. "I just wished that I hadn't d

  • My Best Friend's Dad   To Get Away

    Tristan's POVMy heart shattered again. Those words of rejection twisted my heart into a million pieces. Why am I this prone to heartache and loss? My wife, my unborn child, the f^cking lie of Maggie's child, and Elona. I watched as she walked away from me in tears. I caused that to her, but I explained and apologized to her. I'm not perfect, and maybe I should do better as a man. Maybe then she will take me back.Tears ran down my cheeks as she faded out of view and I looked at Lillaine Everett's tombstone. "I know I've hurt your daughter and I wish that I didn't hurt her that way, but I love her more than I could ever imagine. I only hurt her by pushing her away, throwing her lie back into her face, trying to blame her so that I could keep that distance between us only because of a baby that a woman lied about that was supposedly mine," I scoffed. My eyes landed on three yellow beads, close to a hole that Elona had covered

  • My Best Friend's Dad   Leaving Home

    Elona's POVToday was moving day for me. With a heavy heart, I started packing my bags for my move. The apartment that I would be living in already has furniture in them. My dad made sure of that. As I fold my clothes and pack them in boxes, I just felt this heaviness in me. I'm leaving my father behind, he would be alone. Cris is also moving and it won't be the same anymore. Part of this reason of me moving closer to VFS is because of Tristan and the heartache he caused me.I think that making the decision to move away will be best for me. I just don't want to see him often. I want to heal from things and I think this might be the best for myself. As I walked towards the vanity cabinet, I opened the jewellery boxes and checked what to pack in. But then my eyes landed on the beads...those familia
