Change Is The Only Option

Chapter 4: Yes or No

Bella's POV

I hate Ethan. And that's for sure...  Why does he have to tell that to my parents? That would only make them believe that there is a slight chance between us... Because there aren't any and I know it. But why do I feel that he is serious about this matter? Like his going to win me? I'm sure that he knows I'm going to dump him in the end. I hate him and I wish he's not serious about it. Well I guess this was just an act to make his parents proud but should I go along with it?

"Hey Bella" he said that made me stop in my thoughts.

"Yes?" I said looking at him.

"What kind of place do you want to go?" What place? I rubbed my pointing finger on my cheeks, one of my mannerism when thinking.

"I guess somewhere peaceful and inspiring that could make me think clearly"

"I know the right place but this is a city so maybe somewhere high? But are you afraid of heights?"

"No" I guess he is a gentleman but there's still the question. 'Why is he doing this' so I asked him that. But what he give me is a what I did not expected...

"Well you see I think you are different from the girls in my school and I think that I could trust you but simplest answer I could give you right now is I wish to make my parents proud and maybe I could repay all the bad things I've done by this but I understand if you back down and this is the first time they asked me this and I don't want to regret anything in my life as big as this..."

"Well I guess I'm in." I said then smiled at him then he look at me for a second then he looked back at the road, then I saw him smile, which is genuine. Then that made me relax but when I look at the side mirror I saw no car following us.

"Where are they?"

Yana's POV

While we're inside the car the first question I heard is...

"Can I please court you?"Then I looked at him but saw him starting the car but then he glanced at me and he smiled. " But before you say anything I'll continue what I said, and I really like you since fifth grade the way you welcomed me there, and because you treated me like a friend not like the other girls who wants attention from me and you looked at me because you know my personality not because I was famous." Then he glanced at front of the car but I was still looking at him, then he continued,

"And that time in Grade 7 when you told me that you like the only person you have like was Xander back when you were a child and you wanted to wait for him because you had a promise and I wish that I was the person you like so I told you that there are someone who like you but you asked me who and when I was about to tell you it was me... The teacher told us to keep quiet then he told me to go exchange seat with the guy on the first row and at the JS prom well I was a little bit nervous that you'll reject me and maybe that will make our friendship be crumpled and be thrown out like a paper so I joked about it but you didn't answer so I went back to the team and after a week I ask you so we could talk about it then it went like that every day that made me..." I was waiting for his answer while wrapping everything he said in my mind.

"Haha I guess, you don't have to answer it" but I could see that he was nervous, hurt, worried but I'm not sure...

"Well Adam, I..." I said then he look at me but he cut me off.

"It's okay Yana if it's a no." He said then he went to look outside the window.

"Who said I was going to say no?"  Then that made him look at me. And I smiled. But I look outside my window

"And I like you very much that it hurts that you could only look at me as a friend. And I already love you" I whispered the last part and I look at him but was surprised when he hugged me so I hugged him back like this moment was the only thing I wish after knowing that Xander won't be back ...

"I promise that I would always be here for you.."

And because of a promise... I will always distance myself from people outside this cage but now I'll face them... And I'll wait for another year to be free from... Him...
