*time lapse*

Alyssa's POV:

It's been three days since I've seen or talked to Ethan, but Grayson's been telling me that he's been pacing around and not eating. The whole time, I've been thinking about my decision of giving him a second chance. It's distracted me from concentrating at work and college. I need to see him after cl-

"Alyssa, tell me what 4x+85^2 is." My teacher yells.

"It's 4x+7225. That's the answer." I sigh.

"Correct." He says and continues with the lesson.

As I was saying, I need to see him soon. Fortunately, I-

The bell rings and I get out of my last class for the day. I head to work and I start my shift.

"Hey girl, how was class?" Peyton asks.

"Stupid, as usual." We laugh. We go to the back and start pinning up the orders from customers. We head back to the front and Peyton's organizing the plane holders, while I'm at the register.

"So, have you talked to Grayson?" She asks.

"Yeah. He's been telling me that Ethan has been pacing around and not eating."

"Well, that's not good. You need to let him know. You can't just leave him hanging, Alyssa."

"I know, Peyton. I just don't know what to say." I whine as I ring up the next customer.

"Next!" I yell. The next customer comes up and orders their food. They pay and head to Peyton's side.

"You need to get your shit together and just confess what you feel. Whatever you want to happen isn't going to happen because you won't say anything. Confess how you feel!" She smiles at the customer and they take their order.

"I know, but-"

"ALYSSA NO MORE BUTS. FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT AND TELL HIM." She whisper yells and we keep doing our routine. I nod my head and we do our work.

*3 hours later*

We've finished our shift and checked out. We headed back to our apartment and I decided to take a shower.

"Hey, I'm gonna take a shower. Could you make a sandwich for me while I'm in there?"

"Of course!" She smiles and I run to the shower. I turn on the water and start washing my hair. As I'm washing it, I can't help but think about Ethan, once again. I brush it off and finish my shower. I dress up and put my towel on my head. I walk out to the kitchen and sit at the island, enjoying my sandwich. I put the sandwich down and sigh.

Ethan was always so good to me. He always did his best to make me happy. He never once wanted to purposefully hurt me. There was always a smile on his face and if there wasn't, that was only because he was upset that I was upset. He was always by my side. It didn't matter the time or place. I could have texted him at any moment in the day and he would respond automatically. He was truly an amazing boyfriend, ESPECIALLY with those looks of his. His hair was always at a short length that suited him well, but now it's long. He always looked clean and tried his best to dress well, even though that wasn't always the case. He had probably two meaningful tattoos on him and he probably has ten now. He's still the guy I always knew him as, he hasn't changed at all. His personality is great, as it always has been. The only thing that changed was his physical appearance.

Then a light bulb flickered above me, and I mean this literally.

"Peyton, throw me the keys!" I yell to her on the couch. She throws them to me and I store them in my pocket. I take off my towel from my head and leave it how it is. I grab my phone and start walking to the door.

"Hey, where are you going??" Peyton asks.

play the song; definitely recommend it;)

"To tell Ethan how I feel!" I yell and as I'm about to slam the door, Peyton yells something.

"GO GET HIM GIRL!" I laugh at her and close the door. I get to my car and it's pouring rain. I get in the car and drive to his apartment building. Once I get there, I run up all the stairs and realize I'm extremely wet and out of breath. I knock on the door multiple times till someone opens the door.

"Hell- Alyssa? What are you doing here?" Grayson asks.

"I need to talk to Ethan. Go get him." I plead as I'm still out of breath. He walks away and Ethan comes.

"Alyssa? Oh my god, come inside! You're extremely wet." I walk past him and wait for a blanket or something. He hands me a blanket, as I thought, and we sit on the couch.

"What's up? Is everything okay?" He asks. I look at him and put my hand on his cheek and rub my thumb softly on it.

"I know that it may have felt like I didn't want to give you another chance but when I saw you at the restaurant four days ago, I looked at you and thought: 'There's the boy I've missed.' Ethan, I've missed you so much and I don't think you understand how much I mean that. I haven't dated anyone for the past three years. I haven't done anything because I waited for you. I'm tired of waiting. I love you Ethan. I love you. I love you so much." I look at him with the anticipation of a response and he looks at me.

"Do you know how long I've waited for those words to come from your mouth?" He laughs and I laugh along. He pulls me into his chest and I smile.

"By the way, I love you more." He pulls away and smashes his lips on mine. The kiss becomes deep and then we pull away.

"This is your last chance. I've been waiting to give it to you for a while and I'm glad you're back in my life." I smile and he laughs

"FINALLY! YOU TWO ARE BACK! Took long enough!" Grayson says and we all laugh.

What did I do to deserve these two boys...
