" promise you, little by little, the healing adds up."
- Ella Hicks
The next few days suck, I relapsed a few more times after that day.
And every day since then I've felt guilt, so much guilt.
"Hey are you okay?" Ethan asks.
We're in my house hanging out, we we're supposed to be watching a movie.
"Yeah I'm sorry" i said looking down.
"It's okay, you just look sad" he says.
I am but nothing will ever change that.
My phone starts ringing before I can answer him.
I look to see it's a FaceTime call from Evelyn.
I smile and answer it.
"Hey Stella!" She says smiling.
I smile more, "hey eve" i said back.
It looks like she's with the whole friend group, my heart feels full and happy knowing they're with the boys.
"Is that Blake and Noah with you guys?" I ask her.
She points her camera to them, Blake and Noah are wearing face masks while violet is painting Noah's toes.
"Yes! We're having a sleepover" she says.
"On a Thursday?" I ask her confused.
She nods, "yes we don't have school tomorrow" she says.
Ethan comes into view.
I angle the camera to show the both of us.
"Who is that?" Evelyn asks.
"This is Ethan" is all I say.
"Hi" Ethan says smiling at her.
She smiles and turns to the others.
"Guys! Stella is with her new boyfriend" she semi-shouts to them.
They stop what they're doing and go to Evelyn's phone, Blake takes her phone and shows his face which has a face mask on.
"Who are you?!" Blake asks.
Ethan laughs at Blake.
"Hi! I'm Ethan, I'm just a friend of stells" he says.
Blake gives him a look but before he can say anything else Evelyn takes her phone back.
Soon violet comes onto to the screen.
"Hey stells" she says sweetly.
"Hey letty, I miss you" i said to her.
"We miss you too!" She says back.
After we get done talking, we hang up and i put my phone away.
"Do you miss them?" Ethan asks.
I nod, "yes I've practically known Evelyn and Violet my whole life"
He grabs my hand and squeezes it softly.
"I'm sorry, when will be the next time you'll see them?" He asks.
"Christmas time" i said, then an idea pops up.
"Hey! Maybe you should come with me for Christmas, if it's okay with your parents" i say my face brightened up.
He smiles at me, "okay! I'm sure they won't mind" he says sadly.
We continue watching the movie, I'm making him watch the notebook.
