Anna's POV

Why am I like this... Why do I jump into conclusions so fast? I can't even trust my own thoughts.

And now I'm paying the price. The things Ella said to me are really making me think. She would never cheat on me, just like I would never cheat on her. I should've talked to her first, before assuming everything.

How do I fix this?

"Anna?" A voice says, bringing me back to reality. How long have I been standing here? "You okay? I kind of heard the screaming"

It's Eva.

"Yeah I'm fine" I reply, still confused. "Turns out I screwed everything up...again"

"You can't keep hurting yourself like this" She says as I close the door, getting in the house. "You both made mistakes that night and there's no going back now, you can't change it"

"But..." I try to say something but she cuts me off.

"No buts, Anna" She says and we sit down on the living room couch. "You can still change the future. You can fix things. It's not over. Real love doesn't just end this easily."

And she's right. I'm not gonna give up on her. On us. It took me a really long time to find her. She won't get rid of me this easily.

"I know. But what do I do now?" I ask.

"Now...you wait a little" She replies.

"Huh? I can't wait! I'll just keep thinking about it and.." I say and she cuts me off again.

"Look, you're both hurt right now" She says and I try to pay as much attention as I can "Give it some time. For both of you guys to heal a little, you know?"

"Right..." I agree, looking down.

"Look up please?" She says and I do so. "No being sad and beating yourself up okay?"

"Yes mom" I reply, joking.

"Shut up you love me" She says and gets up, going to the kitchen.

"Yeah yeah" I say "I'm going upstairs. Thank you, really"

Eva winks at me and I giggle, going to my room.

I sigh, sitting on my bed and thinking about this day and the things she said to me. But since I know myself pretty well, I won't be able to stop overthinking things until me and Ella are okay.

A few hours later, after doing a little bit of everything to distract myself, I come to the conclusion that I can't be distracted.  Netflix, social media...nothing can make me stop feeling a discomfort in my chest.

So, I decide to record a tiktok and post it on my spam. My room is all dark, only with my blue led lights on. I choose to lip sync the song "I hate you, I love  you". I press play, using the lyrics do you miss me like I miss you? Fucked around and got attached to you 

Ugh. I just miss her so much.

A few minutes later I start to look at the comments and realise this might not have been the best idea. My face is awful, people could clearly see that I've been crying. They started asking if me and Ella broke up...If I was okay...Shit. 

Could they be commenting on Ella's page too? After I posted our dancing in the rain video I convinced her to create a tiktok account and she gained some followers since then.

I go there to check and see that she just posted something. Oh my God.

It's her at the rooftop. Our place. She's lip syncing that sentence now that was a lot of damage.

You know what? Fuck it. I can't wait.

I'm going there. Right now.
