ETHAN POV.

"he was there. he's been there with her this whole time gray" i said pacing around the kitchen.

"ethan calm down. this is alex we're talking about. she knows what max did and she would never sleep with him. she may be on okay terms with him but you can't hate her for it." grayson said. i hated when he was right.

"but he literally confessed his love of her right in front of the both of us and she just nodded her head like 'yeah old news' and you expect me not to be angry?" i asked rhetorically.

"yes, ethan i do. because who did she confess HER love to? you. who did she say she couldn't move on from after a whole year of separation? you. who the hell did she drive from the city to new heart every other day to check up on in secret because she was worried and lovesick? YOU." he slowly got up and walked closer to me.

"so stop finding a way to blame her and make her feel like shit for supposedly never caring about you. i get it. you were miserable without her. well guess what she was miserable without you too. so grow some balls, build a bridge, and get over it like a man." he finishes. i just stand there stunned and stay quiet.

"that's what i thought." he lets out a breath and heads upstairs.

"hey gray?" i ask.

"yeah?" he replies.

"what's her number?"

ALEX POV

unknown- i'm sorry.

me- who is this?

unknown- it's ethan

me- oh
me- i'm sorry too

ethan- can we talk? like talk talk? no screaming, no childish shit, in person, just talk to each other.

me- yes please

ethan- come to the house tomorrow?

me- okay what time

ethan- 11?

me- okay. see u tmr.

i closed my phone and took a deep breath. i'm still mad at him. but i'm also sad. sad that our relationship went this far south, sad that i put him and i both in so much pain, hell i'm sad that i'm not with him right now.

and for some reason i had this fire in my chest. a fire in my body that felt like if i didn't do something about i would die.

i felt like if i didn't go see him right this second i would perish. so at this point, i wasn't going to sleep if i couldn't go see him and say all the things i've always been scared to say.

stop being scared to be saved.

so i grabbed my keys and walked out the door.
