Isabelle's pov
"I-I-i don't know" he whispered. "That's all you have to say?" I asked. Tears flooded down my face. "I'm so confused" he sat down. I rolled my eyes. "Your confused? Whatever" I muttered. "I don't know what I want. I don't know if I love Alana. I still have feelings for you! You know what? Im just going to say it. I'm still in love with you, Isabelle! I wish I wasn't, but I can't stop it!" Ethan cried.
My jaw dropped. I was in utter shock. He sat down on the bench. I don't know what to say. What am I supposed to say? My tears kept falling.
"Why are you hurting me with your words then?" I asked.
"I've been trying and trying to stop the feelings, but it's not working. I don't even mean any of them" he muttered the last part. We sat in silence for a couple minutes.
"Why wouldn't you talk to me after you moved to L. A.?" I whispered.
"I found out who you really were and I was mad at you for lying to me" he said.
"How?" I asked.
"Some guy told me. He just walked up to me on the street and I thought he was a fan. Then I he gave me a yearbook to look through and I found you on there. I think his name was Dylan" Ethan responded.
"DYLAN?!" I yelled and jumped off of the bench.
"What about him?" Ethan asked.
"That little asshole. He was my ex boyfriend. Dylan only dated me for a dare. He acted like he cared. I thought he loved me, but he just wanted to complete the dare as fast as possible. Then after he broke my heart, he started beating me almost every day" I whimpered. Ethan hugged me.
At first I was resistant to it, but soon I hugged him back and sobbed into his chest. After a while, I stopped crying. "Sorry about you shirt" I let out a small laugh.
"It's fine" he said. Ethan wiped the remaining tears off of my face. He kissed my forehead. I couldn't help but blush.
"Excuse me?" A girl sassed. Crap! Alana. "That's my boyfriend right there" she said, walking up to him. "Excuse me? That's my friend right there" I mimicked. Ethan chuckled, but stopped as soon as Alana glared at him. She hugged him.
"I don't need another little pathetic girl drooling over him" Alana said. "Hey! Don't say that to her!" Ethan snapped and stepped away from her. "Whatever" she rolled her eyes. "Why are you defending her?" Alana whined. "Because she's my um friend" Ethan said. "Well I'm your girlfriend" she took a step closer to him. "I love you Ethan" Alana kissed his cheek. "I
Um l-love you" he stuttered. His eyes were filled with sadness. What? Didn't he just say 'I'm still in love with you' to me? "Listen then! It's either me or her" she yelled.
