Maddy POV
"We need to talk"
Fuck.
I felt like a deer caught in headlights.
"I have to go home. Family stuff..you know?" I blurted out
Judging by the face he made he knew I was lying
"I have to go" I turned and started walking the other way but he quickly caught up with me
"You have nothing to say?" He asked as he walked alongside me
"Nope" I shook my head
"Maddy stop" he stood in front of me and I sighed
"I really don't wanna do this right now" I whispered. I felt tired and I really wanted to go home
"5 minutes. Please?"
I nodded. I had a hard time saying no to people. I probably needed to work on that. Part of the fun anxiety package though.
We went back into my dorm and sat on my bed. I was honestly dreading this
"I don't know what's happening between us but...I like you Maddy. I do. And I don't want to hide my feelings for you"
I gulped. I didn't know what to say. I took a deep breath and tried to get some words out
"I like you to" I responded "but I'm guessing not in the same way"
He face dropped and I felt awful
"That's why I didn't wanna do this" I murmured
"No its fine, its fine. I should've already guessed what you were going to say" he said
"I still love Liam. I know he's miles away and it's really hard but I still love him" I said honestly
Ethan nodded. "I can't make my feelings go away Maddy. But can we still be friends at least?"
I nodded. "Friends"
I gave him a quick hug before grabbing my bag again.
"How long are you going home for?" He asked
"I'm not sure yet. I just..."
"I know" he smiled "hope you feel better soon"
"Bye Ethan"
"Bye Maddy"
I left with an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. I hated confrontation, and I really hated letting people down.
But I had to tell Ethan the truth. I didn't want to lead him on. At least when I got home I could take my mind off everything
