~Beauty attracts the eye. But personality captures the a heart.~

Natasha's POV.

Here I was with a few others packing my desk. I still don't understand why. 

*********************************

Earlier.

It had been a week since we have been back from England. Lorenzo has been in a very bad mood since then. I tried to backtrack why but all I could think was when he talked to his mother before boarding the plane since then he has been in a bad mood or easily irritated all week.

Work became more and more difficult and busy. I had a moody boss and a contemporary piece I needed to perfect in order to get into a Dance school in New York.

Typing away I lost track of time when there was a knock on the door.

"Yes," I said looking up and smiled when it was Ashlyn.

"Mr. Lorenzo wants to see you." She said.

I nodded, got up arranging my attire, and walked to his office. Knock three times as accustomed before going in.

"Sir you said you wanted to see me?" I asked his back. Currently, he was looking out the window.

"Yes. Please sit down." He said. "We appreciate all the work you have done here. You are a very hardworking employee. One of the best actually. Unfortunately, we have to let you go, I know its short notice but it's company policies. The security will now escort you to your desk to get your things. We did recommend you to a few companies so options are in that folder." He said.

I picked up the folder shocked and in disbelief.

"We will support you and your family till you start your new job." He said speaking still out of the window.

"I don't understand," I said.

Someone cleared their throats. I turned to see a security at the door.

"There is nothing to explain." He said.

I was angry. "Keep your money and your job offers. I don't want anything to do with you anymore."

I got out of the chair and walked past the security. He didn't even look at me. Such a coward.
*********************************
Present.

I picked up my box and walked out of the building. Ordering an Uber I went home. I was still shocked and couldn't wrap my head around what had happened.

On arriving home I went straight to my bedroom and into my bed.

An hour later I felt someone shake me. 

"Hun?" Tantin said.

"Mhm?" I mumbled.

"What happened why are you home early?" She asked.

I bury my face in the pillow. I wasn't ready to accept reality. Maybe it was just a very bad decision. He will probably call soon asking me to come back. I screamed in my pillow before lifting my head and announcing the news to my Tantin.

"I was fired," I said.

"WHY?!" She asked sounding as confused as I was.

I tell her everything he said.

"That doesn't make sense. I mean surely there is a logical reason behind it." Tantin said pacing around the room. 

"Tantin. Please can I have some time to think? " I pleaded.

"I'll be outside if you need anything." She said planting a kiss on my forehead.

I fell back on the bed. What could I have possibly done? I mean my work was up to date and I was early. I always worked late, brought him coffee the way he likes it. And we were perfectly fine in London. I let out a frustrated sigh and sink onto the floor.

He's not worth your love or worry. Yet why did it hurt so bad....the landing hadn't been soft or planned. It's like I dropped 100ft in less than a minute, my heart-shattering...

Then an image of mum came to mind. When dad treated her wrong she never showed that she wasn't happy. Never moped around the house. I needed to imitate that kind of thinking.

I take out my goal book. I needed to get over him as soon as possible. Since his not worth my love, I won't give up, I'm stronger than that and even though my heart will break, I'm taking back my faith. I won't let my mind think too much about it cause right now my world is spinning too fast. He won't be the end of me. If he was the one then he wouldn't hurt me so bad.

I mean he gave me the world

Gave you the world to take it all away. All you left me was the last night you danced.

And this space in my heart. I said trying to defend him.

But it's slowly tearing you apart. He taught you and showed you how to break a heart

Maybe I can become those people with very high walls but that won't help cause I still know how to love. Why should I allow one person to change my being? Plus this moment will fade into the past. I'll look back ten years from now and laugh at it.

But it's easier said than done. My heart still ached. My tears just couldn't stop falling as I remembered the time we spent together and how my fears had now become a reality.

I was never really anything to him even though he led me to believe that and being the foolish person I am I actually believed him. I crouched into a ball and cried. I had no job and fake love.

I get up. I needed to do something. Heading towards the kitchen I took out baking tools. Whipping away some chocolate chip cookies while swaying to the song. I ate all twelve extra-large cookies with Tantin while watching a movie. I danced, sung at the top of my voice, but when I was going to bed the reality just sunk in deeper.

Tantin brushed my hair out of my face while I cried silently.

"You know what your mum sang to me when I experienced my first break up?" She asked.

I shook my head. She got up searched for something on her phone then let the song play and started singing.

( PLAY the song at the beginning to feel full effect.)

"When the waves are crashing down
Pulling you to sorrow
I will sail you back to shore
When there are no more heroes
Over under, near or far
I'll be right beside you
Standing here with open arms
When there are no more heroes
And through it all
And through it all
When you're tired and you stumble I will carry you
When starlight falls, my love will guide you home
You'll never be alone
When there are no more heroes
It was you who showed me how
Brought me back to glory
Through hopelessness and darkest days
It was breath you gave me
And through it all
And through it all
When you're tired and you stumble I will carry you
When starlight falls, my love will guide you home
You'll never be alone
When there are no more heroes
And through it all
And through it all
When you're tired and you stumble I will carry you
When starlight falls, my love will guide you home
You'll never be alone
When there are no more heroes
And through it all
And through it all
When you're tired and you stumble I will carry you
When starlight falls, my love will guide you home
You'll never be alone
When there are no more heroes
When there are no more heroes"

I smiled.

"Remember I will always be there for you and your mum even though right now you are not seeing eye to eye I promise you that things will get better," Tantin whispered in my ears before getting up and shutting the light.

I had one goal for the morning:
Patch things up with my mom. I mean no matter what family was very important. They were the ones who could help you get past this.

The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory.
