❁Drowning❁

•Ethan•

You were drowning, in your own thoughts.

You thought too much about Ethan.

When you woke up, when you went to sleep. You'd think of him.

You'd remember that he broke your heart.

You couldn't get him off your mind.

Little did you know he couldn't get his mind off you either.

You remember the day he broke your heart like it was yesterday. It was normal day, you and Ethan were on a picnic day at the beach. You both were laughing, having a fun time. It was sunset, it was very beautiful. You looked over at him and examined his face then realized a little that you were in love with everything about him somehow.

"I think I love you Ethan."

He looked at you with a weird look on his face. He looked back at the sunset and got up.

"I- I actually have somewhere to be right now..."

"What?"

"Yeah, sorry y/n uh bye."

All you could think about that night was that he didn't say it back. He didn't say I love you back.

For three weeks he didn't answer your texts nor calls.

It's been one month, you don't know what you did wrong. He just left you.

You didn't know it was because you said those three powerful words I love you.

"Y/n! What the hell are you doing? You're staring into complete space! There is customers help out!" Your dad said.

You were at your dads restaurant, you worked at the cashier but on other days you worked as a waitress for him.

You heard the door open. You looked up and met with a pair of familiar brown eyes. It was Ethan. You immediately took your eyes off of him.

"Y/n.."

"Would you like a table or booth?"

"Y/n/n!"

  He came closer to you.

"Are you going to eat here or not?"

"No, can we please talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about?"

"Y/n I'm sorry."

"Okay. I have a job to do."

"I didn't mean to ignore all of your texts and calls. I was just scared."

"Scared of what?"

"You see..I've had my heart broken a few times. There was this one girl though. I thought I was in love with. One day she told me she loved me. Then the next week we broke up because she used me. I don't know I just am scared to think I'm loved or to love someone because I don't want to get hurt again."

"And, I'm not like other girls. You think I'd use you? Of course I wouldn't Ethan. I've never said I love you to any guys besides my family! Gosh Ethan."

He had a sad look on his face.

"I'm sorry y/n y/l/n I really am."

"You couldn't tell me anything until a month later?"

"I just needed some time to think."

"Honestly I don't know what to say really."

"You don't have to say anything just know that I'm so sorry."

You looked anywhere but at him.

"And,"

"I love you y/n."

Your eyes widened and looked him in the eyes.

"You what?"

"I love you."

You smiled a little. You knew he could be just saying that to make you feel better but it sounded for real. Like he wasn't lying.

"You love me?"

"Yes y/n. I realized that I have all along I'm such a fool for not saying it back and walking away."

"Forgive him!" Some old lady yelled.

You looked around, everyone in the restaurant was staring at you both which made your cheeks turn a red rosy color.

"Okay, Ethan I get that you were scared. And, I know you're sorry. It's been a month though. You never answered one of my calls or texts. You could've told me that you weren't I don't know ready to say I love you back or you could've told me you were scared and didn't want to get hurt. It took you a month to finally get the guts to tell me all of that. You really hurt me Ethan I don't think that you get that."

"I know y/n you don't have to forgive me or anything. I hurt you yes, and I'm truly sorry for that from the bottom of my heart. I messed up bad. I'm a jerk, I don't deserve you at all. I care for you so much y/n/n I'm sorry really. I love you I can't give up on you." He said with tears in his eyes.

You didn't like to see him in this state. You didn't know whether to forgive him or not. So you hugged him. He hugged you back. You two just stood there hugging for what seemed like hours.

"I love you too."
