It has been 2 hours since the incident. Ethan has been spamming Camilla ever since her last message.

Ethan's phone:

Me: please just answer my calls
Me: i just want to talk
Me: i know you're reading these texts
Me: stop ignoring me

Camilla: Ethan! Stop you are making a fool out of yourself. Leave me alone. You cheated! not me, i shouldnt have to respond. i dont owe you an explanation on why we are no longer together, but heres a tip... you screwed up.
Camilla: again

Ethan threw his phone in frustration and runs into his house. He walks in and sees Elizabeth take a bag of Camilla's clothes. Elizabeth passes him and Ethan slowly walks into his room. Kian came in to comfort him.

"Just go over there and do something about it, stop blowing her phone up and go talk her.", Kian says as he sits with Ethan.

Ethan looks down and Kian looks up. He sees Grayson and Elizabeth side by side in the doorway.

"We should go.", Elizabeth says, breaking the silence.

"Lizz?", Ethan says, looking up at her.

"Yeah?", she says, leaning on Grayson.

"Tell her I love her."

"I'm not your messenger.", she said as she walked out.

Ethan looked back down and said, "Will I ever get her back?"

"Depends.", Grayson said.

"On what?", Ethan asked.

"On how hard you try.", Kian adds.

Kian and Grayson leave the room and get into Kian's car.

Camilla's room (the next morning)
--

Camilla was in her bed, watching "Mean Girls".

Her mom came in and said, "Baby, come downstairs. Coffee is ready."

She walks out of the room and Camilla follows. She was wearing an old T-shirt and some shorts.

She walked into the kitchen, dragging her feet.

"Look," her mom said as she sat with Camilla at the kitchen table, "he's a dick and even though he might be a very attractive guy..." She looked down and mumbled, "I have no idea where I'm going with this."

Camilla smiled and said, "It's okay, mom, I know."

"Look, all I wanted to say was... his looks can only get him so far.", she said, standing up and washing her cup.

"I know."

"Well, I have to-" The doorbell rang. "... go to work.", she said walking to the door. Camilla followed and she let her mom open the door.

Ethan was standing there.

"Oh look, honey, we have a rat on the front porch. Better call the exterminator.", she said as she death stared at Ethan.

Ethan looked down and said, "Can I just talk to Camilla, please?"

"You have 5 minutes.", Camilla said as she walked into her living room.

Her mom held the door open and walked out and closed the door after her.

"Baby, I missed you so much and-"

"Ethan! You need to understand where I am coming from.", she as she turned to him.

"I get where you're coming from, but I still think you should give me another chance."

"Why can't you get over me?!", she yelled.

"When you fall in love with someone's personality, everything else tends do become just as beautiful.", he says as he grabbed her hands.

She took them away and said, "This is the second time you've cheated!"

"I know, but Cam-"

"No!", she said, "No 'buts' because whenever you say 'but' you always have an excus-"

Ethan pulls her in for a kiss before she could finish her sentence.

They back away and everything went silent.
