this imagine is for @MrsKarpathyy
i hope u enjoy it love. thanks for requested and for messaging me the request 😭💗"Zoe, can you actually hang back a minute?" Ezra asks, most likely in order to talk to me about our plans after school.
I nod and motion for the girls to keep going and that I'll meet them in a couple of minutes.
Ezra and I have been together for about one year. I met him in some tiny, hole in the wall bar in town. I was having a rough day and he suddenly approached me. At first, I was apprehensive. He was some strange man, who was clearly older than me but he won me over. He was witty, charming and of course, very attractive.
"What's up?" I ask once I'm sure everyone has left the classroom. We've gotten pretty close to being caught on multiple occasions but somehow managed to cover our asses.
"We uhm, we need to talk." he states nervously.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that when someone says those words, it's always something negative. Is Ezra actually breaking up with me? Is that what this is?
"Alright." I mumble nervously while taking a seat on top of his desk, him standing in front of me.
"I think we should end this."
Well, he didn't waste anytime getting to the point. I almost can't believe what he's saying. Is he fucking serious? After all the stuff we've had to go through?
"W-what?" I question softly. I'm afraid that if I talk any louder, he'll hear the crack in my voice. Tears already begin forming at the corners of my eyes, begging to fall. But I don't let them. I can't.
"We are so close to getting caught Zoe and I- I don't wanna put you through that. I won't put you through that. So, that's why we have to end this." he explains, although it still doesn't make sense. None of this does.
I roll my eyes and scoff at his ignorance.
"First of all Ezra, you don't get to make decisions for me. You're not in control of what I do and don't do. I am. Second of all, we're not close to getting caught. Alright? We're not. But if you wanna break up, if you wanna end this, it's fine with me." I say all while shaking my head and still attempting to not cry.
Who the hell does he think he is?
"Zoe, I know this, I do. That's part of the reason I fell in love with you. You're strong and you're independent but you deserve more than this. You deserve more than the sneaking around and the lying. You deserve the normalcy of a regular, high school relationship." he says, countering my argument.
"Are you blind?" I begin with a sigh. "I don't care about a normal relationship. What even is a normal relationship? I have all I need right here but obviously you don't."
This was it. This was the end of my relationship with Ezra, whom I love with literally everything in me. As I begin to get up and walk, he takes a hold of my wrist, preventing me from doing so. I turn my head around to face him and his expression is one of pain.
"I love you Zoe. You have to know that." he says gently.
I just nod and pull my wrist from his grasp, walking out into the hallway only to be greeted by the girls.
Shit. I forgot about the girls.
"Zoe, you wanna-" Emily cuts herself off once she takes notice to my shaken state. "Are you okay? What's wrong?"
