That night, I drive to Grayson's apartment. Who graciously offers to go back to the apartment and get the rest of my thing. Seeing how I just couldn't face Ethan knowing I could so easily fall back into his arms. So that's what he did. When Grayson returned, I thanked him with one last hug, knowing I probably would not see him for a long time, and then drive to my parents house 4 hours away. And yes, I blasted sad drake music the whole way there. I get to my parents house and tell them everything that happened,and then Lied down in my old childhood bed and cried.
Ethan's pov
Grayson came and got Y/N's things for her while I sit on the kitchen floor. The same place I was when she left. But now it was different. Instead of just her being gone, every trace of her of her, every memory was gone. And it broke my heart beyond compare. And even if I get her back, I doubt I'll ever be able to forgive myself for my selfish, cocky mistake. I look at the clock. 6:48pm. Grayson told me that she was leaving to her parents house in (random city) meaning she is probably there about now. I wipe a few last tears from my eyes and stand up. I'm not going to give up on her that easy. I go to the bedroom, it being noticeably lonely due to the lack of Y/N's things. I walk into the closet throwing on a pair of jogger, a black t shirt, and a jacket before quickly fixing my messy hair. The last thing I grab is a little tin box I have had hidden in the back of my closet. Containing a beautiful diamond engagement ring. The same ring I had planned on giving her tomorrow night. But I guess plans are just going to have to change.
Y/N's pov
Princess diaries plays on the tv as I wipe my eyes with yet another tissue. I check my phone and seeing it is 11:58, I turn off the tv and try to get some sleep. I have yet to get even one text from Ethan. I thought he would at least fight for me a little. Then again, I did basically tell him I never want to see him again. Maybe he thought he was doing me a favor. As I close my eyes I hear a small tap. And then another, and another. And I know exactly what is happening. Ethan. When we were in high school, he would always throw pebbles at my window for a late night drive, or sometimes just to have a little cuddle. I smile at the memory but quickly go back to a straight face, remembering how he broke my heart only a few hours earlier.
I get out of the warm bed and look out these window. Just as I expected, Ethan is standing there with a pile of pebbles in one hand, the other hand running anxiously through his hair. He noticed me at the window. "Please." He mouths to me. Fidgeting with something in his pocket. Tears start rolling down my cheeks again. I close the curtains and get back in bed. Yes I love Ethan. More than anything. But what he did was truly terrible. It made me feel like I don't really know who Ethan is at all. My phone goes of and of course I know who it is
Ethan😍: Y/n please
Ethan😍:please 5 minutes that's all I want.
Ethan😍: I love you.
Ethan😍: more than you'll ever know
Ethan😍: and it's alright if you don't love me anymore.
Ethan:😍: but I just need to see you one last time.
With a frustrated sigh, I walk over to the window opening it wide enough for him to get through. I walk back to my bed and sit for him to make his way up. He climbs through the window and closes it softly. A scene I had gotten used to a few years ago. He turns to me, with his eyes puffy and red and a trembling lip. "Baby let me hold you." He says waking towards me. He kneels down in front of me and slowly draws patterns on my waist. "If you have something to say to me I suggest you start now because you only have 5 minutes." My voice is dull. Ethan moves his hands away from me in an awkward manner. " o-oh right u-um sorry. I-i don't really know where to start." He says popping his fingers. A nervous habit he has.
"Tell me why you did it." I ask with a shaky Voice. Ethan grabs my desk chair and pulls it closer to the bed. "Ok so I-i um I was really really nervous about something, and I told Grayson about it and he suggested that even though it was early, we should go get a drink to get my mind off of it. So we did. And I might have had one too many and...yea." He says with one hand in his pocket. "But Y/N you have to understand I love you and it was a mistake what I did and you're the only one I want." I scoff and start walking towards the window. "You have a funny way of showing it." I say more angry then sad. "No baby I love you and only you." He says grabbing my hand. "Prove it!" I shout at him
"Marry me."
"W-what?" I ask my heart starts beating faster. Ethan walks closer to me taking something out of his pocket. A diamond ring. "This is what I was so nervous about. I was going to ask you tomorrow when I took you to dinner but you know. Y/F/N, you have my entire heart. And you have ever since our junior year of high school. And as stupid as I am, I really, really want to spend the rest of my life with you. And start a beautiful family with you. So will you please, please, do me the honor of marrying me?" He finishes and a tear slips out of his eye.
Before I respond I wrap my arms around his neck. He leaves small kisses on my cheek. "Please say yes. I don't know what I'll do without you." He says pulling me closer. I pull away, happy tears streaming down my face. "Of course ill marry you." I say with a goofy smile on my face. Before i know it, he pulls me in for a long, passionate kiss. I pull away and quickly embrace him again. "I don't know what I'd do without you." He says sliding the ring on my finger. "Me neither."
