"earth to Mae" Alex waved his hand in your face.

"Hm, what's up?" You looked up.

"I asked you what kind of ice cream you wanted" he chuckles.

"Vanilla is fine" you smiled at him.

This feels like torture.

I'm legit playing him, this is not okay.
Alex and I have been together for 4 weeks now, the worst weeks ever.
He seems nice, but he can be an asshole for sure.

I'm not sure now to break up with him.

The only person I could think of was, Ethan, Ethan, Ethan.
The way that he laughs, and the way he talks. I've never even met him, but I feel like he's the one I belong to.

"Hey Alex, never mind. I think I'm going home, I-I don't feel well" I tried to sound sick.

"Oh sure, I'll come check on you later tonight" he pecks my cheek and smiles.
I tried to smile, but I felt horrible about faking it all.

I walked out of the shop and start to walk home.

"Asshole, he doesn't even walk me home at 9 pm" I scoffed.

"Mom, I'm gonna turn up the heat, it's freezing here" I rubbed my arms.

"Mom?" I yelled again.

"I'm in the attic."

I climbed up the ladder and caught her looking at old picture's.

I can see that she is trying to hold her tears.

"I miss dad too mom" I tried to comfort her.

"I miss the days that you two had" she laughed a bit as the tears start rolling o
down her cheek.

"I miss him too" I pet her shoulder.

After 5 minutes of laughing and crying about old pictures. She asked me about Ethan.
"Well how is it with you and Ethan? Are you guys still talking to each other?" she wiped her tears away.

"Uh...well we are having a 'break' " I played with the bracelet on my wrist.

"So you two are together?!" she smiled.

"No no no, that's not what I meant to say. We're not together" I chuckled.

"We're just taking a break in our friendship" I lied.

"Hm"

That's it. I'm done lying. Tonight I'll text Ethan and tell him the truth. And Alex....

"Hey mom, I have to do something" I smiled at her and walked away.

I locked my bedroom door and took my laptop from my desk.

"Hey guys, today has been one of the worst. I have have to tell the truth to Ethan and Alex. Alex is a nice guy, I just don't believe we are perfect for each other. Ethan made me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes. He is so optimistic and kind. I can actually see a future with him. I wonder if anyone could help me and  give good advice,
Kisses,
Mae"

As I upload that note to my blog a few people commented.

"You should do what your heart tells you"

"I can't believe you did this to that poor boy"

"I think that you and Ethan will be happy together"

I read them out loud, some of these actually helped me.

I take my phone out of my pocket and call Ethan.

"Hey it's me Ethan, at this moment I'm not available, Call me back later." His voice went through your phone.

"Hey Ethan, it's me....Mae" I chuckled.

" I want to talk to you. I miss you, and I just want to talk with you and laugh Im just-" my voice cracks, tears starts to roll down my cheeks.

"I just really miss you" I hang up.

Ethan's pov

"i just really missed you" The voicemail ended.

"I really miss you too" I whisper and smile to myself.

I went through our messages and saw the stupid things we talked about.

Me: hey, what are you doing?

Mae:
I'm watching HSM :)

Me:
Yeah I bet on it

Mae:
Movie reference!1!!1 this is why we're friends ;)

Me:
But what about everything we've been through?

Mae:
Okay okay, that's not the only reason. You're a desperate boy searching for a friend.

Me:

I finally found, what I've been looking for ;)

Mae:
You know the songs better than me lol

Me:
Well, what can I say?

Mae:
Just say nothing, I'm watching the moviiieeee, i'll talk to you later.

Me:

Okay okay, byeee

I smile at this convo and put my phone away.

Mae's pov

"I really miss you too Mae, I miss your giggles and all your rants. I want to make it up to you."

I smiled very bright and start to jump on my bed.

I went to our chat and text him.

Me:
Video Chat, tomorrow at 8 pm?

After 5 seconds I got a reply.

Ethan:
I would loved to...

Me:
Okay

The awkwardness is real... I hope it won't get that awkward and that we can be friends again.

Of course I hope to be more than friends...will a internet relationship work?

I might as well tell you guys that this book won't contain much chapters.
