Quick A/N.  One of my favorite accounts has the best book for outfits!  They're all so cute and each one fits all different personalities!  Go check out Dilnsky !!!
The rest of the party was spent dancing, talking and basically avoiding Grayson and Jake. It wasn't because I was afraid of what might've happened, it was because I didn't want to face the people that brought me so much pain in my lifetime. I would be spending the next four months with them anyways, so would it matter if I spoke to them now or in August? 
I dance with Mandy, drink punch and talk with Aaron the entire party.
Arron is always so sweet and considerate of my feelings, and he stayed with me all night.
When we got back to my hotel room, I grabbed Aaron's hand and dragged him in the room.
"We're on a role, A! Don't let the party end just because the music is gone."
He smiled and jumped onto my bed, flipping the channels on the television until he found Ridiculousness. I called room service, and not but twenty minutes later there was popcorn, candy, pizza, soda, and ice cream waiting to be eaten.
I cuddled under Aaron's arm and stuffed myself with pizza and Reece's while watching Rob Dyrdek make fun of the innocent people in the videos.
After thirty minutes and one box of pizza, I shoved the food away and just focused on Aaron. Wrapping my arms around his torso, I dug my head in his white t shirt and inhaled his cologne.
He wrapped one arm around my waist and the other he ran through my blonde hair, lightly running my back when he came to the tips of my hair. Closing my eyes, I smiled and thought about how perfect tonight was.
"Goodnight Aaron, I love you." I say, lightly kissing his chest through the fabric of the t shirt.
"I love you too, Evangeline. So much." He murmured, kissing my forehead.
A warmth spread in my stomach, and I fell asleep with new realization.
I might like Aaron Carpenter.
The next morning, we both got ready together, deciding it was easier.  We separated when he said he had an early morning practice. 
So while Aaron sang his heart out, I was sitting in a small coffee shop a few blocks away from the hotel, reading my book Winter.
Although I was kind of a popular, sporty girl in middle school, I'd recently got back in touch with my girly, nerdy roots; mainly because  Grayson teased me for being a fake Barbie in Junior high.
I quietly shut my book and looked out the window, watching as a few cars drove by. It was early; I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to get out and do something I haven't been able to lately.
The door to the cafe opened, the small bell tied to it indicating a customer.
"Evan, hey." Ethan smiled over to me and sat in the wooden chair opposite of mine. I sighed and stood up, ready to leave.
"Hey." He whispered, grabbing my wrist lightly. "I just came to talk to you; friend to friend."
"We're friends?" I ask. He nods and I hesitantly sit down again, my book dropping onto the table.
"I'd like to apologize."  Ethan says, looking up at me. 
"I never should have let Grayson do that to you, even if it was because he..."  Ethan stops, shutting his mouth.  "He?"
"He started bullying you because he had a crush on you.  I'm not saying that makes sense, but that's what happened.  I don't know if that's the case now, but I know once you left the school and he was left with only memories of you he...he regretted everything." 
Overwhelmed and angered, I stand up, running a hand through my hair. 
"How is that fair?  He gets to call me a slut and I do nothing?  Because he liked me? How twisted is that?"
"I never said it was okay; I was just filling you in.  I'm trying to make things better, Evangeline."  Ethan sighs, hazel eyes pleading. 
"I have no problem with you, Ethan Dolan.  But don't apologize for your brother,"  I say, walking towards the door, "He made me who I am now; and no one can be forgiven for that."
