Isabelle's pov:
I still miss him. Even after he left me and moved on. It's been three long hard years without anyone else to comfort me like he would. I have a boyfriend, but Ethan is the one who comforts me. Every so often, I text his brother, because we still are friends. We used to be best friends, but many things have changed. I also text him to check up on them. Grayson always says "we're doing fine" or "we are loving the weather here". He never responds to me if I ask him about Ethan. Maybe I should move on too.
Flashback
     "Isabelle" Ethan took a second to think. " I got a job offer... In L.A. And I took it so I could further my career. " he slowly said, wondering how I would react. "Oh... Um, okay" i muttered, shocked at the news. I dropped the eye contact by looking at his shirt. "Hey, shh, shh, it will be okay. After four months you could move into the apartment with me and Gray" He added. "Sure, but I won't be able to see you for a long time" I sighed. " but this is great for you!" I congratulated him. Later that night we laid in bed cuddling each other talking about our future.
The day he left
     "I love you, you know that right?" He whispered in my ear. "Yeah, I love you too" I replied while shaking. I guess I was shaking so much he noticed me as soon as it started. He pulled me closer if I could even get closer. "Ethan, What if you g-get hurt? Or if I-I get hurt? What if you find someone else wh-who's better than me?" I cried. He fondled with my hair with one hand, while the other rubbed my back. "Shhh,shhh, I won't leave you alone, ever. If you get hurt I will catch the next flight back, and same goes for you." He said trying not to cry. "I need to go catch my flight so I won't miss it." He whispered while kissing my forehead. "I-love-you" he said between kisses, then finally kissed my lips. "I love you too" I whispered. "I'll see you in three months" Ethan called before heading out the door of my apartment. I broke into tears as soon as I heard the door shut. I couldn't stop crying, until I fell asleep. I heard my phone ringing, so I grabbed it and answered. "Hey, how's my baby doing?" Ethan asked. "Ethan!" I yelled. I could hear Ethan chuckling on the other side. We talked for a couple of hours about random things. After we ended the call, I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
    Two weeks later
    "I miss you so much" I said to Ethan on the phone. "I know, I miss you too"he said with a monotone, sounding like he didn't mean it. He hasn't called as much lately. It feels as though he is slowly distancing himself from me, but he wouldn't do that on purpose. Or at least I don't think he would. "I guess I better go. I love you!" I said. "Yeah, bye" he replied, hanging up. Wow! That was rude.
End of flashback
     My guess was correct. He was distancing himself from me, because a week later, he blocked my number. I thought that maybe something happened to him. Or it was an accident.  But no, he stopped talking to me. Ethan didn't even reply to my dm's on Instagram. And I know he read them, because he always reads what his fans, friends and family send him. The day after our three year anniversary he got a new girlfriend and everybody ships them... Only three quarters of his fans shipped me and Ethan. That one quarter left hated me. Those fans knew how to ruin my entire week. I moved to L.A. a couple days later, to live with my brother, Eric.
Ethan looks like he's forgotten about me. His new girlfriend Alana looks so fake (a/n please don't take any offence to this). But Ethan looks so happy with her. I wish we could turn back time, so I could tell him the truth right from the start. He said he loved me just the way I was, so I kept my secrets to myself. I was afraid he wouldn't like me if I told him about my real self. I thought he loved me.
How would he have found out about me? Whatever, he's moved on and I'm back to being depressed. Just like before I met him. He made me so happy and he could make me forget about my past for a while. If he knew the truth from the beginning, he might be cuddling with me on his couch right now. But that's just a stupid dream. I should have been telling him the truth right from the start. I need him to know me. Even if he still hates me after, I need to tell him. I only have one goal right now. And that's to tell Ethan the truth. Even if it takes my entire life to get him to listen to me. I will tell the person I love more than my own life, Ethan Dolan, the truth.

What is Isabelle hiding from Ethan? Why do you think  Ethan left her?
This is my first book, so my writing will hopefully improve by the next book I write.
