You Thought Wrong

Chapter 11

*Nicole's POV*

I haven't talked to Ethan in two weeks. He's texted, he's called, he tried coming to the apartment, all I want to do is shut him out. You don't confess your feelings for someone then go kissing another girl.

Ok. She kissed him. But still! He didn't do anything. He just stood there. He allowed it. On top of that, it happened just two feet away from me. I cried that day.... A lot.

Alex walked Kayla and I home that day. Since he apologized we've become good friends. I told him what happened with Ethan. He was there to comfort me. He still is. Alex may not come over much but we still keep in touch.

I'm still hurting though. I tried to move on. I tried hitting on Alex. For some reason I don't like him the way I liked Ethan, The way I still like Ethan.

*Ethan's POV*

I've been so depressed. She hasn't talked to me in two weeks. I've sent her a million text messages telling her I'm sorry, No response. I've called her non-stop, no answer. I've even tried knocking on her door, no one opened. Grayson is no help either. He's been spending most of his time with Alex and Kayla. I can't take this anymore!

Now you might be wondering, who was this girl anyways? Well, she's my ex, Melanie. Well... Kinda. I kissed her once and suddenly she thinks she's my girlfriend. I didn't shut her out completely though. I just went with it. But when she started talking about marriage after our third day of 'dating', I had to break it off. She went way to fast. You know what she said when I tried breaking up with her? She said No! After that, I changed my phone number, blocked her number, and thank god for our social media careers because I was able to move here to L.A.
How did she find me? I don't know. I might have to get a restraining order...

I'm gonna talk to Nicole whether she likes it or not. Thankfully Kayla still tolerates me. So I decide to text her.

E: Hey can I come over?

K: idk :/ Nicole is here.

E: yea um I really need to talk to her.

K: she's gonna kill me

E: please?

K: what about when she hears a knock at the door?

E: I'll text you when I'm outside your door. Just please let me in.

K: fine.

E: thanks! Your the best!

*end of convo*

I quickly got dressed and brushed my hair. I thought I should make a quick stop first. I went to the Walgreens across the street and picked up her favorite candy, twizzlers. (TWIZZLERS ARE MY FAV. I LOVE THEM. Ok back to the story) I remember her telling me how much she loved them the day after the party. That day I came over and we watched movies on Netflix.

I went back to the building and texted Kayla I was outside her door. Almost immediately Kayla opened the door ever so silent.

"She's in her room." She whispered.

*Nicole's POV*

I spent today on Twitter. I was scrolling through Ethan's account, looking at pictures fans took of us together, and wishing he was here...

I hear my door squeak open. I look up from my phone and my eyes locked with his.

No I didn't mean it, I don't want him here. LEAVE.

My eyes began to water. I broke the eye contact and turned on my side, facing away from him.

"Who let you in?" My voice cracked.

"Kayla."

"I'm gonna kill her."

"She told me you'd say that."

"Why are you here?"

"To talk to you."

"I don't want to talk."

"Then just listen." He sat on my bed next to me.

I didn't want to hear what he had to say. But it's not like I can push him out, he's got about 3x my strength.

"I know you think I kissed Melanie. I didn't, she kissed me. I was still so in shock that she had found me, my brain hadn't caught up! Yea I know that sounds like a crappy excuse. I promise you I pushed her off. I hate Melanie."

He told me the story of what Happened with Melanie, how she means nothing to him.

I sat back up and faced him. It's impossible for me to stay mad at him. I wanted to say so many things to him. How I'm not over him, that I just want to be with him, and I can't take the distance any more.

"Ethan... I believe you. It's just I can't get the picture out of my head. It really hurt me." A tear escaped my eye. Ethan did the same thing he did at the party, he brought his hand up to my cheek and wiped away my tear with the pad of his thumb. I'm so not over him.

He's leaning in. My heart is beating a mile a minute. One of his hands is on my face, the other on my thigh. This moment couldn't be anymore perfect.

His lips softly brushed against mine. It was a soft kiss, a kiss that eventually turned into a very deep and passionate one. My emotions are all over the place.

He slowly pulled away. Our foreheads connected and all I could see was his beautiful smile.

"Did you know that was my first kiss?" I bit my lip.

"I'm glad I was your first kiss." He smiled.
