Ethan's POV:

I can't believe I said it. I've only known Hailey for a few days and I've already said the three words. Why did I run off like that? Maybe if I wouldn't have left right after or cut her off she would've said it back. Or maybe she would've said she doesn't love me back. I hope I didn't scare her off. She hasn't texted or called yet, but it is 5:30 am. I'm probably over thinking this...
"Hey, E. Are you packed and ready to go?" Gray asked as he walked into the room with a luggage cart
"Yeah. Hey, has Hailey talked to you at all since last night?" I asked
"No? Why? Did something happen between you two?" He said as he put my bag on the cart
"Well... I told her that I loved her. Then I was scared she wouldn't say it back and I drove off." Grayson stood there with his mouth open
"Your the stupidest person that I know Ethan."
"What do you mean??" I asked scared of what he was going to say
"Why would you run away, she OBVIOUSLY loves you back. I think you should call her when we land so then you can talk about it," he said.
When we got to the airport Grayson was on the phone with Kayla. He was telling her that he would call her when they land and that he can't wait to see her in a month. I still haven't heard from Hailey. Not even a goodbye text, but I mean she made it clear she doesn't like goodbyes. Maybe not calling is her way of goodbye.. What am I thinking! Ugh why am I so hard on myself.
"Bro that's our flight. New Jersey here we come!" Grayson said with a huge smile

Hailey's POV:

"HAILEY WHERE ARE YOU?!" I heard someone yelling from downstairs "ITS 3:46 PM AND YOUR DAD SAID YOU HAVEN'T CAME OUT OF YOUR ROOM ALL DAY!" It was Kayla
"IM UPSTAIRS YOU STALKER," I yelled back. I looked at my phone for the first time all day. 1 new follower on Twitter and Ethan tweeted three times.
"I Loved Ohio you guys are the best!"
"Baby you my everything you all I ever wanted"
"Excited to see the family in NJ. Missed them"
I also had a missed FaceTime call from him. I probably should call him back right now. He's probably busy. I miss him like crazy though..
"Hey, I've been talking to Gray a lot today. He keeps saying that Ethan's just moping around, and is constantly looking at his phone."
"Weird, he doesn't seem like the type to mope around.." I said
"Have you talked to him today?"
"No, he's probably busy catching up with his family and unpacking."
"... Seriously. What's wrong with you? You usually get up at 11 and its almost 4. Did something happen between you and Ethan? Did you guys break up already?" She started freaking out
"No! I love Ethan why would I break up with him. Well I mean I think I love him. I've never really dated before."
"Love! OOOOooooOooOOO!!! Spill it, what happened!?" She asked as she
"Okay fine. Ethan told me he loved me last night. Of course I think I love him too but he wouldn't let me talk. Every time I tried to say it back he would cut me off and then he drove away. He's only tried to call me once but it was like 4 hours ago.."
"Oh shit. Well he's obviously scared of you rejecting you. Haha, cause who says that and then drives away. Since you haven't talked to him all day he probably thinks you don't feel the same..."
"BUT I DO!" I yelled
"Well then call the fool and tell him!" She said as she threw her hands in the air

Ethan's POV:

"Bro your phone is buzzing. That's actually really funny that the one time you put it down it starts to buzz." Gray said handing me my phone
"Who is it.. OH!" I said as I pressed the answer button
"Hello," I heard Hailey say, I missed her voice
"Hey, what's up?" I said trying to act like I haven't been waiting all day for this
"I miss you a lot and I haven't gotten up all day. Ha, kinda pathetic I know. Kayla literally had to come force me awake 10 minutes ago." She said, I could tell she was smiling
"I miss you too, like way more than you think."
"How was your flight home?" She asked
"It was boring, my parents keep asking about you. Ha," I can tell she's got something on her mind.. I hope she doesn't say anything about last night. She probably doesn't know how to tell me that she doesn't love me back..
"Hey E." She said
"Yeah?" Oh no.
"Why did you keep cutting me off last night?" She asked. Ugh, play it cool Ethan..
"What do you mean?" WooOw nice one.
"You know. Every time I tried to say it back you cut me off and then drove away. I couldn't sleep last night because I couldn't understand what happened." She said in a soft voice.
"....I did that because I thought you wouldn't say it back. I thought you didn't feel the same. I thought I didn't deserve you. But I do love you, and it's driving me crazy that we are having this conversation over the phone and not in person." I said as I ran my fingers through my hair.
"Ethan how could you say that! If anything, I shouldn't deserve you! Your the thing that has put a smile on my face for the past week and you make me go crazy! Your the best guy I know. I love you Ethan," the phone was silent for a while, neither of us said anything.
"Fuck, why couldn't you just move today because I want you here with me right now. The closest thing I have to you right now is Gray, and he isn't a good cuddle partner.." I said looking over to Grayson, he was stuffing his face with Doritos.
"WHAT! No, I am the best cuddle partner in the entire world! You have no idea what your talking about!" Hailey started cracking up and then I started to laugh
"I've missed that laugh," I said as I heard the door bell ring "GRAY WILL YOU GET THAT?"
"Sure!" He said
"Hey I have to go out to dinner with my dad, I'll call you later?" She said
"Yeah, FaceTime though! I love you,"
"I love you too!" She said and then hung up the phone
"Hey, the guy at the door has something for you. He needs your signature." Gray said
"Alright I'll be right there!" I said as I headed down the stairs.
