Me and your boyfriend Ethan were best friends.Then in 7th grade we started dating.
Now I'm a junior in high school and Ethan lives in LA.He moved four months into our freshman year.Its been really hard for us.But just the thought of him not being my boyfriend sickens me.
Today I'm flying to LA to surprise him.His birthday along with Grayson my best friend is tomorrow and I told him I have mid terms next week which was true but I took them early so I could come for his birthday.He is comin for Christmas and I'm coming back the same day.
4:30 the next morning
I woke up and I'm driving to the airport.I can't wait to see Ethan.I missed him.
After 6 hours I finally arrived.
I get an Uber to the twins apartment.
I walk in and it's dead silent.
I walk towards ethans room I hear weird noise if assume he's watching porn.
I walk in and see him and some random girl.
"OMFG ETHAN I COMMITTED 5 YEARS TO THIS RELATIONSHIP STAYED WITH YOU TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS AND YOU FUCKING SLEEPING WITH SOME RANDOM BITCH FROM LA YOU NO WHAT YOU CAN FUCKING HAVE"I yell
He throws her off of him and runs after me
"Baby ik there's nothing I can say but I do love you not her.Ive felt so alone recently with out you hear and I needed the touch I do love you"he says and grips my wrist really hard
"Ethan let go you are hurting me"I say
"What they hell is wrong with you"Grayson walks in the door and says I'm bawling rn I'm a mess.
"Arya can we pls talk"ethan asks
"I'm leaving I'm Ubering to lax to see when the next flight is"I say and storm out the door.
Ethans pov
I'm in love with Arya.Ik what I did was wrong I don't know what I was thinking
She's leaving now and there's nothing I can do I could loose her.
Arya pov
"When's your next flight to nj"I ask
"Sorry all our flights are book until the 22nd"she says the 22nd is the day I was going to leave.Thats three weeks from now.
I drive to the nearest hotel.
Ethans pov
I looked online and see all of the flights are booked until the 22nd which I the day me and gray were going back so I assume she did the same.
So she's either in a hotel or she's coming back.
That gives me 3 weeks to eat her trust back.
Arya pov
All of the hotels that aren't in the scary part of town are booked.Except For one night at holiday inn.
Ethan💓-Where are you
Me-on a plane
Ethan💓-no your not
Me-who would you know
Ethan💓-bc I looked and there's no flights til the 22nd
Me-we'll it doesn't matter where I am bc it's not with you
Ethan💓-can we pls talk about this
Seen
I want to be with him right now but I can't.Im not goin to leave in but he needs to see what it's like not to have me in the palm of his hand.
Ethans pov
At first I thought she would come back.
She's not here.
It's hitting me.
I might had lost her.
"Hey gray"I say
"Hi eth"he says ik he's disappointed in me.
"I don't think Arya is gonna come back to me"I say
"Eth I think you need to give her space"gray says
"I can't give her space"I say
Graysons pov
Rya🥶-hey I'm at the holiday I'm in room 23 don't tell ethan but your my best friend and I'm not gonna waste 3 weeks and not see my best friend.
Me-ya omw
"Where are you goin"eth says
"To go get food want some"I say
"Yea get me what ever"
I feel bad lying.
Aryas pov
I don't want Ethan knowing but I wanna see Grayson
When Grayson go there we sat down and I just cried.
And cried
And cried.
I understood that they were goin threw a hard time with their dads passing.
In some ways I blame myself for not being here to help ethan thru it.
"Gray...it's my fault he cheated on me"I say randomly
"Rya no it's not"he says
"Yes it is I wasn't there when he needed me...when both of you needed me.I should've been here holding him while he grieved the pass of your father.But I was back at school.We never talk about it.He needed to feel loved again.His way of doin that was sleeping with a random girl"I say
"It's not your job to take care of us he shouldn't have cheated on you"he says
"Have you ever seen that girl"I ask
"No rya I've never seen her me and eth are always together I truly think he felt alone bc he thought you couldn't make it for his birthday..that's not an excuse for his actions I just think that's why"he says
Its taking everything out of me not to go over there and hold him and tell him how I never wanna leave and I'll always be there for him.
But that won't teach him anything.
We need space for a while if that means me staying the night here and goin to see him tomorrow that's just it.
"Gray I'm not leave ethan...pls make sure he doesn't do anything he'll regret but I don't see our relationship getting better unless he realizes my worth.I only have one night here then I have to stay with y'all.He has to earn my trust back."I say
Grayson gives me a huge hug and tells me to call it I need anything.
I don't need anything.
Except for ethan.
But he has to learn.
Understand my worth.
I need to understand that when he needs me nothing else should matter.
I'm taking this night to think.
