Friday
Skye's POV

Ethan pulls up at Kian's house.

He stops and looks at me, "I love you."

My heart flutters whenever he tells me that.

I lean in and kiss him, "I love you too."

He smiles.

I swear his smile can cure any disease. It's so beautiful.

Mia and Jack left the house earlier than us. So I imagined that she was already drunk.

We walk into the house and I was a little bummed out. This wasn't really a party. It was just me, Ethan, Mia, Kian, JC, Jack, and Jack.

I looked at Ethan and he looked bummed out as well.

I raise an eyebrow and chuckle, "What happened to the party?"

They all look at me seriously. Almost like if they felt sorry for me.

Kian walks up to me and pats my shoulder, "we need to have a talk."

"Okay," I trailed the 'ay'

I was scared about the way they where all looking at me.

I look at Ethan and he seemed scared as well. Does he know something?

Mia stands up as well, "I don't really know how to tell you this."

Okay now they're really scaring me.

"Just spill it out. What are we talking about?" I blurt our.

Ethan hasn't said a word. I'm starting to feel bad about this.

Gilinsky rubs his chin, "it's about Ethan."

I look at Ethan in confusion, "what's wrong?"

Kian looks at Ethan and crosses his arm, "Ethan here doesn't really love you."

I chuckle nervously, "that's ridiculous." I look up at Ethan, "right, e?" My voice cracked a bit.

He just stood there. He didn't answer my question. No yes, no no. Just nothing.

Mia sighs, "look I didn't know how to tell you this before; the whole reason he's dating you is to win a bet."

If words were knives my heart wouldn't be beating right now.

I felt hurt.

I felt betrayed.

Not only by Ethan but by Mia and everyone in this room.

They knew and not one of them told me.

And Ethan... I never want to see that asshole ever again.

I feel Ethan touch me.

"Skye don't listen to them, okay? I love you." His voice was shaky.

I blinked.

I looked at him dead in the eyes, "I hate you."

My eyes where puffy of my crying. I wipe my tears.

I start to run out the door and Ethan follows.

Once we're out I stop in my track and turn to face him.

"Why?"

His eyes where puffy as well, "cause I was a jerk."

Anger raged all over me.

I started to punch his chest. He didn't try to stop me he just stood there letting me.

I stopped when my anger was replaced with sadness. I started to bawl.

"I deserved that." He sucks on his bottom lip.

I look up at him one more time, "you sure as hell do. And you deserve much more. You're a disgusting human being, Ethan. I never want to see you again. I hate you Ethan Dolan."

His face becomes even more saddened by my words, "yo- you don't mean that, Skye. I know you don't."

"Well then you don't know me at all."

I turn around and start to run away since I didn't want him to drive me home. I didn't want anything to do with him.
