Chapter thirteen: Heart ache

A/n: hey guys I was going to do another book but then I realized then this book would be short as hell, so yeah I'm just going to combine them in this one, also there's a four year gap on this chapter. But not in the beginning, kinda towards the middle.

After that shocking day Pelly's been beating herself up about inviting Hayes to stay with us, Skylars taken up modeling and not really caring about it, Grayson's just been quiet, Ethan's been trying his best to cheer everyone up, And as for me? I've just been feeling down, I don't know why. God knows I didn't mean to kill Hayes, I just didn't want him on me. A few days after I took his life I've just been blowing up on social media.

I sat on my bed just thinking about the whole situation that took place that day.

My mom came into the room and sat down at the bottom.

"You doing okay?" She asked

"Yeah, I'm just a little...shook"

"It was self defense, you didn't do anything wrong"

"Yeah, but I killed someone. He was someone's son, brother and-"

"Don't keep beating yourself up, it's not your-"

She was cut off by the loud doorbell.

"Wonder who this could be" she muttered under her breath.

A few minutes later I heard my door swing open revealing a whole crew of cops.

"Ms.Miller you are under arrest for the murder of Hayes Grier, Anything you say can and will be used against you in the federal court of law." One of them said cuffing my hands together.

"She didn't do anything!" I heard my mom shout from the background. "Get you're damn hands off of her!"

I walked past her, tears forming in her and my eyes.

I was pleaded guilty and sent to four years in prison. My Mom, Ethan, Grayson and Pelly would visit me on a daily basis, I would always cherish they're company even if I could see them for only an hour.

"Ethan Dolan is here to see you" One cop said.

I smiled and went to the room they held him in. I sat on the other side of the table across from him.

"You look good in orange" he chuckled

"Thanks" I said

I looked at Ethan and just stared at him, thinking about what he could be doing instead of sitting in a filthy room with me.

"What? Is there something on my face?" He asked.

I shook my head looking down at my fingers.

"Well, what's wrong." He asked grabbing my hand and locking my fingers with his.

"I'm in jail, Ethan. The bad part is I'm going to rot for four years in here with psychos" I said

"Four years isn't that long. When you get out I'll be waiting on you, when you get out we can start a little tiny family and-"

"No" I said

"No?" He asked

"No" I repeated.

"What do you mean no?"

"I mean, we can't keep doing this, Ethan. We can't keep pretending we're happy, when really we're hurting. You can't keep coming back to see me, you can't keep sending me letters, you can't keep waisting your time on me, for the next four years is going to be living hell, not only for you but for me too."

"What are you saying?" He shook his head

"I'm saying we should just..stop seeing each other. Maybe, maybe this is just a sign that we shouldn't be together." My voice cracked

I removed my hand from his.

"Are, are you really breaking up with me? Like this?" His voice cracked

"Ethan I'm sorry" I said wiping my tears.

"But Sara, you can't just break up with me! I can't loose you!" He said with tears threatening to fall from his eyes at any second.

"I'm sorry I screwed everything up, everything was my own fault. I was just too stubborn and stupid to understand."

"But he was about to rape you, what were you suppose to do?! Let him do it and get away with it?!"

I kept my head down, not looking him in the eye.

"I'm sorry Ethan" is all I could say.

"Are you saying, this is the last time I'll ever see you?"

I shrugged.

"Don't do this, Sara please"

"Ethan, let's not make this harder than it is" I said getting up from the table.

"Go find someone who you can actually hang out with." I said looking him directly in the eyes.

"But,but,but I can hang out with you" his voice cracked.

"Goodbye Ethan. I'll see you in four years, make sure you tell Grayson and Pelly the same thing."

"Sara, don't go!" I heard Ethan cry,

I turned away from him and walked out the door to my cell.

After that day I started to cut myself to get the pain away. Ethan would always request me to talk to him but I would always deny, he would always send love letters stating how much he misses me, I never read them though. I just wanted him out of my life, I wanted to forget I even met him.

After a few months the letters got delivered once a month and the requests shortened to once every three weeks. Soon it all just stopped. No more letters, no more requests. It was like Ethan was just a ghost from the past.

All those times I thought about picking up the phone and calling him, but I didn't. I didn't want him to come running back to me, not like this. Some nights I would stay awake just thinking about what he would be doing.

--4 years later--

Ethan's POV.

Thoughts of Sara never completely left my head, they just slowed down. Over these past years I just accepted the fact that she didn't want me to keep seeing her, in a prison.

I've been dating other girls, but they were never the same. Some of them were just flat out awkward. I tried to stop comparing them to her but all thoughts just went back to her. I got this one girl named Cassandra, she's nice and all but like I said...she's not Sara

I laid in my bed scrolling through the channels until I heard a knock at the door. I opened it expecting to be Cassandra with the pizza I told her to get, but instead it was Sara, her hair was long and straight, her body was the same size (thick) and so was her facial features, other than the fact she had light, natural makeup on.

"S-Sara?"

"Ethan" she smiled. "Long time, no see"
