Chapter 4

I wake up and check the time, it's 11:54am. I didn't get any sleep, my thoughts kept me awake. I get out of bed and take a shower. I put on the high waisted skirt, the plain black crop top and a pair of shoes. I walk into the living and see Sahar and Eric sitting on the sofa watching TV. "Good morning." I say awkwardly as I walk to the kitchen. "Hey Danielle!" Sahar says as she follows me into the kitchen.
"Sahar who the hell is that?!" I say in a loud whisper. "His name is Eric and he's my second best friend." I stare at her in confusion. I didn't know best friends just randomly come home and start making out.

I check the time and realise I only have about an hour to get ready to go meet Ethan. I run to my room and put on a minimal amount of make up. I took a few minutes to decide on a hairstyle, eventually i decide to put my hair in a messy bun. I grab my bag and put my phone, mascara, sunglasses, my purse and a few other things inside it, I walk to the door. " Danielle where are you going?" I turn around to see Sahar and Eric standing behind me. "I'm going to see a friend." I say as I open the door and walk out.

*10minutes later*

I arrive at the place where Ethan and I agreed to meet. I check to see if he has messaged me but there's nothing. I decide to go on Instagram while I wait. After scrolling through my feed, which felt like forever, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and see a familiar looking guy, a few inches taller than me. Its Ethan. All of a sudden I start to feel extremely nervous. I stand there awkwardly, he's even better looking in person. I attempt to speak  but nothing comes out. "Hey, are you Danielle?" "Yes." I say. There's an awkward silence.

We stare into eachothers eyes. "So, do you want to go get some ice-cream?" He says as he breaks the silence. I nod and  we walk towards an ice-cream truck. After we've ordered our ice-cream we walk around and tell each other funny events that have happened in our lives. He tells me about his brother Alex. Alex is a year younger than him. We continued talking until someone walks towards us.

"Oh my gosh, Ethan?" The girl says as Ethan gives her a confused look. "It's me, Leah. Remember we dated for like a year." She had light blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She was skinny and pretty, I can see why he dated her. "Leah! I haven't seen you in ages, when did you move back to LA?" "Last year." I stand there silently waiting for one of them to realise that I'm here. "Oh, this is my friend Danielle, she's from London." He says. "Nice to meet you Danielle, I'm Leah, Ethan's ex girlfriend." she says as she grabs my hand and shakes it. "Well it was nice seeing you again, we have to catch up sometime." Leah says as she hands him a small piece of paper. She waves and walks off. "If you don't mind me asking why did you to break up?" "Three years ago we had to break up because she had to move to Canada. I knew long distance wouldn't work so I ended it. We still texted and called but we lost touch after a few months. I'm surprised she still remembers me."
