Music Is My Savior
"Yeah" She smiled wider if that was even possible.
"I’m really happy for you, Tina. I mean that. It’s all I’ve ever wanted for you"
Her smile stood even though her eyes filled with tears and before he knew it, she was pulling him into a warm embrace. It caught him by surprise but he didn’t bother to fight it. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her and held her close, a smile spreading across his face.
He could never hate this woman. No matter what drove them to this point, it was moments like those where it became clear that he would rather have her in his life any way he could. It was better than not having her at all.
"You’re such a good man" She whispered, "Thank you"
Her appreciation was filled with so much love and tenderness that he felt it filling the cracks of his broken heart. It takes a good man to do a good thing and deep down he knew that even though you love someone, sometimes its better to let them go.
And that’s what he did.
And now all I can do is smile
And fade into the background
I’ll say congratulations and
I’ll fade into the background
"So this is it, huh?" He asked with some bitterness as she stood by the door, a suitcase in each hand.
"Yeah . . I guess it is" She replied sadly, her eyes still red and puffy from her earlier tears.
She swallowed hard and took a deep breath as they stood there in silence. She thought the hardest thing she’d ever have to do was telling him how she felt when in reality it was this very moment, saying goodbye for the last time.
"I’m . . I’m really sorry Eric. I don’t know if that means anything but I am. I didn’t want to hurt you" She fought like mad to hold back the approaching tears, unable to stop them when she saw the glistening drop slide down his face.
"I know you didn’t. I’m sorry too" He truly meant it. He wished things could have been different.
For a moment they fell back into silence but when she took that as her cue to leave, he finally moved in and hugged her tight. She instantly dropped her bags, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him back just as tight. She laid her head on his shoulder and cried, her tears falling faster when he kissed the top of her head in an attempt to soothe her.

👱 poor Eric, he was portrayed with so much respect. Thank you for doing this Miss Liah, not all of us are man haters. On the other hand Tina and Bette were so awesomely hot and loving, me want more. Thank you 👸
Wonderful job
Great post. I actually had some sympathy for Eric here, but the way it ended left no doubt everything happened for the right reasons. And, Eric eventually found his own happiness. Thanks for the post, Liah. :)
Great story. You did well by poor Eric, yet in the end he found his love. He was right when he said he could never compete with our Bette, no one can. And I agree with what everyoneabove me has said. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful chapter.Thank you.
Feel bad for eric but so happy for Tina and Bette, love them. That was awesome and thanks for the post
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you
Thanks Liah for this story :-) well … Eric is just a man, another human being-who is being left broken hearted by his girlfriend because of finding another love.. And he is portrayed so good here, I meant all his emotions and dream and wishes all just simply reflected as he is human.. Not because he is a man. Great writing with interesting approach Liah! :-) anyway… so, when is the new installment would be ready for public consumption!? ;-) hehe… PPVS and thanks!!! :-)
Thanks, that was a nice way to approach a situation that many others experience and using Eric to have the role in this beautifully written story. It was great from all sides. Thanks for the wonderful way in which you tell stories.
Loved it! Liah, you rock! :P
Perfectly crafted.. who is anyone to stand in the path of true love..man or woman.. but they must be extraordinary beings to accept it with such dignity! outstanding offering once more my friend!
You have a way to write with such sensitivity and heart, it’s deeply beautiful…
And since I can so fully understand Eric here, I cannot help but thank you for this respectful way to depict the tragedy of unrequited love. I admire his courage, I would have never been able to go to the marriage of the love of my life, even if I share, totally, his sincere wish of happiness for her. Poignant but beautiful ; thank you…
