LILITH
The ride home is silent I feel the tension in the air something went down with Amara I just hope he tells

We pull up in my drive way and his engine goes off I look straight ahead not daring looking at him at all

"I need to tell you something" here it is here we go I have been through this before the moment the tell me there's someone else and that I was only a second option

"I want to be with you" I look at his surprised
"But I can't do that if you don't know the all truth" I swallow hard ready to hear it
"I can't be with you if I'm still thinking about Amara" I look at him I'm not surprised it's Amara he always had a spark in his eyes when we mentioned her

"It wouldn't be fair to you" He says he hasn't made eye contact and I haven't said a single word

I'm hurt I wish I knew earlier but I just pretended not to see the signs I can't blame Amara I'm sure she didn't know

"So this was just a game to you, you wanted to use me to forget Amara"
He looks down ashamed
"You're a jerk" I get out and slam the door

I run inside about to cry but I don't,I can't let grandma see me like this
"Sweety you're back how was your date" she looks at me excitedly and I can't help it the tears just flow

I run to her and put my head on her laps"grandma he loves someone else" she strocks my hair not saying a word and just let's me cry it out

"I know it hurts but maybe just give him time I have met him before, he doesn't seem like the guy to hurt you on purpose. you need to let him explain himself"
I look up at her she is right, Ethan wouldn't hurt me on purpose and I feel we had a genuine connection but I just need time to think before I can talk to him

I go up to my room and freshen up getting into comfortable pyjamas

My phone won't stop ringing and I know it's him maybe wanting explain himself but I won't answer

I hear my grandma cough and I run downstairs but what I see shocks me, Ethan his with her and giving her a glass of water

"You are one hot grandma, I'm sure you turn heads at bingo" she laughs lightly
"You know it son I even stole some old lady's manfriend"
"I'm sure she had nothing on you" He laughs. it warms my heart seeing him with her

"I'm going to bed I'll leave you two to it goodnight son" He smiles and wishes her goodnight

"Can we talk please" I lead him to my room and close the door
"I'm listening"

"Lili I didn't use you to forget Amara" He looks at me deeply
"Why did you hesitate" I ask

"There's no excuse to that question in that moment I really was a jerk"

"Why didn't you tell me" I look at him teary eyed
"I thought I was over her and I actually started having feelings for you but after seeing her with a different guy my feelings for her came back" I look at him somehow I'm not mad anymore
