It was over.
So simple, so easy.
It was over just as fast as it all started two years ago.
And it hurt. Damn did it hurt.

It hurt when her marriage ended all those years ago. When everything she worked so hard for fell apart.
David moved on. He found someone new. He fell in love again. By now he was married for the second time and even had a Baby Boy. And she was happy for him. After all he still was one of her best friends. He deserved to be happy.

But she did too. It was all planned so well.
She wanted to marry Johnny. Move with him in a new house and even try for a Baby. She always wanted for Coco to have another sibling. Coco was just great as a big sister for Baby Charlie. And Courteney herself always wanted more than one child. Coco was never meant to be an only child. Even with her medical history, knowing how hard it was to get through a halfway healthy pregnancy, she was willing to do it. For their future together.

But apparently there was no future together.
The tabloids were slow again.
He already left in the mid of October. Not in the beginning of November. On the 21'st to be exact. It all started with some discussions months ago.
First about the wedding. He wanted a big, fancy, glamorous one with hundreds of colleagues, family and press somewhere in Ireland. All she wanted was a small, romantic One. Not too far away and only with their closest friends and family. They couldn't agree on this point.
The Last discussion was about where to live afterwards. For all sakes he wanted to move to Belfast and live between Northern Ireland and London. She couldn't leave L.A. Not only because it was Coco's home and where David lived. But also because it was her own home.
She loved living in Los Angeles. And she didn't want to move away. Especially not that far away. It was after all another continent.
With her not giving in on moving out of the States he made his decision very quick.
Three weeks ago he left. He just took the things he could get in his travel bag and told her it was over.
She stayed left behind.
Hoping he would return.
Hoping he would give them another chance. That they could talk about it.

But all he did was calling two weeks later to let her know when the rest of his belongings will be picked up.
There she knew for sure that it was over.
Not just because he told her so. But because of the female voice she heard in the background while he called her. It was his assistant Hailey. She recognized her immediately. Sure it was nothing new that Hailey was always somewhere around him. It was also normal that she was in his hotel room as she was his personal assistant. But when he called it was 6 pm in L.A. He on the other hand was in London at this time. It was not usual that his P.A. was in his hotel room at 2 am in the middle of the night asking him where the towels in the bathroom where.

That was seven days ago.
And she felt miserable. Heartbroken. Left alone. Exchanged for a younger model.
She needed something or someone to distract her thoughts. So she could focus for a moment on something else.
Coco was with David this week. So she was all alone in this big and empty house. Everything in here reminded her on the future she planned with Johnny. They bought this house together for this future. She needed to leave it. As soon as any possible.
Jen was somewhere in Europe with Justin at the moment. Lisa was in New York for some promo for her next project.
Suddenly she knew what to do. Whom to call. She grabbed her purse, picked up the phone and dialed by heart the number from the only person in this world that could make her feel better right now.
It only took three rings before the other side was answered.

"Yes please?" Just hearing this voice made her smile.
"Hey Matty, it's me."
"Court? Hey. How are you?"
"Sorry for calling you this late." One glance at the kitchen counter told her it was already after 10 pm.
"Hey don't worry about this. I was still up anyway. How about you? Are you okay?"
"Sure" . She tried to hold back the tears that filled her eyes at this moment.
But he heard it. He knew exactly what it sound like when she was upset or even crying. He heard it so many times. And it still broke his heart.
"Court you want some company?"
Of course he knew what she wanted to ask. With him it was always like that. As if he could read her mind sometimes.
"If you don't mind"
"I'll be at your place in 15 minutes"
"No! Please don't! I… I… I can't stand it here Matty. It feels like the walls are coming down on me. Everything reminds me of him. I need go get out of this for a while. Can I come to your place?"
He didn't even considered thinking before the answer to that question came automatically. "Of course. That is no problem. I'll see you in a couple of minutes then?"
"Yes. And Matty? Thank you"
On the other side of the line he couldn't stop the little smile can came across his face hearing her say this.
"You're very welcome C.C."
And then the line went dead.

Courteney got up from the couch and looked for her shoes and her keys while the feeling of looking forward to spent some time with Matthew grew stronger and stronger inside of her. Of course they stayed in touch all those years. But with his trouble of addiction and relationships, her problems with her marriage and the work it wasn't so easy to find time.
Pulling her jacket over her shoulders she stepped in front of her car with only one thought left in her mind: I gotta see Matty…
… and I don't have to share him tonight.
