Not A Temporary Fix // Ethan Dolan

Chapter 5

Waking up the next morning, everything felt like a bad dream. It seemed like it was all out of place, I need to get my life together. Caleb and I... what were we? I myself don't know what happening between us, he'll know less. They say money doesn't buy you happiness and I'm starting to realize that it might be true. It time to do something for myself for once instead of for others. It's just so hard when Caleb was my first in everything my first kiss, love and boyfriend. It hurts to know we aren't what we use to be amd even though I love him this has to change. It's late and I have to get up, I need to see him. What even happened last night? Is he okay. I get in the car and start driving, the breeze feels good and my hair blows in motion. As I pull over to his front door I see an unfamiliar car next to his, I assume it must be one of his friends. I'm surprised to what I walk into, and it's definitely more than just a friend. My eyes can't seem to comprehend what they just witnessed, my heart shattered.

"I'm glad to see you have great company, am I interrupting anything? Because I can she come back later."

Caleb looks over more shocked than I could imagine.

"Cal, wait it's not what it seems."

"Oh I'm sorry, I thought I just saw you two making out. Please go ahead and tell me what is actually happening," I say angry yet upset at the same time.

"We were kissing, but it was just the rush of it..."

"Rush? What rush. I come over to check on you and make sure you are okay and I find you kissing with Emily?"

I'm lost I have no words yet I have so much to say. And what makes me more mad is that she's just standing there making me look like a complete idiot.

"It just happen Callie, it was the momemt. She came over bc if you didn't know she's Tyler's sister..."

I laughingly say, "oh so since she's Tyler's sister that makes it okay. Sorry my mistake. Well I just came to tell you that Ethan is fine and he won't press charges."

Caleb looks confused and gets closer to me.

"Ethan? As in Ethan Dolan."

"Yeah, that's exactly who."

"That stupid nerd, ha he knows what best for him"

"Excuse me? That's no way to talk about someone."

"Wait hold on. First of all how do you know it was Ethan and second of all I talk about anyone however I want."

"Because I went last night to check who this person was at the hospital and make sure he was okay."

"With who's fucking permission?"

"since when do I have to ask for permission to do shit. And why don't you worry about Emily."

"Emily is something different, just know he can't get near you. No one can."

At this point my blood is boiling inside. And Emily just standing there seeing us fight like this doesn't make it any better. If she doesn't leave in the next minute I will lose it. Caleb stares at me, he knows I'm furious. With just one look he walks over and tells her to leave. She rolls her eyes and walks out.

"Listen to me Cal."

"Don't you dare call me Cal at this moment."

"Sorry, Callie. We haven't been the same, you haven't been the same. You've lost all your attention with me."

I look at him shocked, how was o the one when he's become the distant one. And today sure as hell let me realize why. Every way possible I've tried to communicate, buy he won't talk to me. I explode at this point.

"Me! Caleb. I'm the one that's been distant, how many freaking times did I bring "us" up. Tell me how many time you did. None."

Caleb pulls me close, our bodies connect and I feel weak. I know what he's trying to do, but it won't work this time.
