I looked out the balcony and onto the streets. Traffic was a jam and so was my life. The sun was setting and I felt so upset.

"Hey, Ethan asked if you were ready for the sur-Photoshoot." Alex said placing his hands on my shoulders.

"Can you tell him I'm not going? This feels wrong. . . I need Nate with me."

"Last time I saw you, you liked Ethan? Now Nate?"

I turned around and faced him.

"Yeah, but Ethan's with Meredith and as long as they're together, I have to stay away. Meredith doesn't like me near him and neither does Nate."

"Forget about Nate, Ethan's the guy for you!"

"I'm sorry Alex. I think I'm gonna sleep with Nate tonight, just tell Ethan and Grayson I left to Nate's s and so I couldn't make it." I said.

I entered the apartment and grabbed my coat and purse then opened the front door.

"Lock the door on your way out, yeah?"

"Sure."

I closed the door and put my coat on then walked to the elevator.

Third person's POV

Ethan told everyone to quiet down and to get into place because he heard the knob jiggle a bit.

Once the lights flickered on, everyone shouted 'surprise' thinking it was Kelsey, but it was Alex.

Ethan looked back at everyone and awkwardly smiled.

"I'm sure she'll be here soon." He said.

He walked to Alex and punched his shoulder.

"You could've given us a warning."

"Sorry, it's just that Kels-"

"Oh, where is she? Is she taking forever like usual?" Ethan interrupted with a small laugh at the end.

"About that. . . Kelsey couldn't make it. She said she wasn't feeling too good." Alex totally lied.

"Oh. . . ok. I guess the party was for nothing then." Ethan sudden change of voice made Alex feel bad.

He only imagined what he would've reacted like if he had said that she ditched Ethan and Grayson for Nate.

"Well, I think I'm just gonna go back to my hotel and get some shuteye."

"Nonsense, you can sleep in Gray's room. I would offer for you to sleep in my room but Meredith's here." He swung an arm around Alex and walked him over to gray's room.

|An hour later|

Everyone was asleep but Ethan. He was cleaning the mess that was left behind.

While he was sweeping, he heard his phone ringing, but he didn't know where the sound was coming from.

He looked for his phone but couldn't find it.

He eventually found it under the couch. He had a voicemail from Kelsey.

He opened it and put the phone to his ear.

"Hey Ethan, I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the photoshoot you wanted to do, I just felt like I had to be with Nate you know. What am I saying, of course you know. . . Alex told you. Anyway, Nate says hi—stop it!!" He could hear the laughter coming from Kelsey's mouth.

"Also, I think you forgot my birthday...but I still love you, Bye Ethan!! —"

"C'mon Kelsey, let's go to bed!" Nate groaned.

And with that, the voicemail ended.

Ethan could picture them together during the voicemail.

Kelsey sitting on the couch in between Nate's legs while he planted small kisses on her neck.

He didn't like the thought of it but Nate had Kelsey, and Ethan didn't.

"I love you too, Kels."

He whispered.
