The moment I was going to give up, I received a call from him.

For no reason, I began  to feel nerveous so I put some of my hair behind my ear and smiled.  Wait, I shouldn't smile on the contrary, I should be angry. So I tried  to hide my hapiness and clicked on the 'answer' icon.

The camera turned on and I could finally see Ethan after a week without any news of him. He hadn't really change, but his expression wasn't as usual. He hadn't that cute happy smile that I used to see everytime we call each other and when he started the conversation by an inaudible: "Hey...", I knew that something was going on.

"H...Hi." I responded. My anger had now completely disappear while the worry was taking it's place.

"How are you?"I asked.

He sighed and passed his hand in his hair. This act confirmed that something was stressing him. And it was stressing me too.

"Well... I'm okay, how about you?"

"What's going on? Why are you like... this?" I finally asked.

"Like what?" He continued, still with his nervous expression.

"Are you mad because I didn't call you? If it's the reason, then I'm not the only guilty in that. You didn't even call me to say that you arrived nor to ask what's going on in my life nor to just say hello to your girlfriend."

He shook his head and faked a laugh.

"Are you being serious right now? I'm the guilty in the story uh? Then explain to me the fact that you stay with other guys, laughing and talking with them as if you don't have anybody in your life?"

"What?" I said confused. I didn't see any guys lately and how could he know if he wasn't even here?

"Please don't play the innocent girl in front of me. You were with another guy and don't lie please...I...I know that you like him too."

Who told him this stupid story?!

"What the hell are you telling me? Who told you that?! Of course an idiot who doesn't even know my feelings nor with who I stay with!"

I could feel the tears that were about to run down, but I tried to provide that. I didn't want to look hurt in front of him.

But it was only an image that I wanted to show him, in fact, because inside, I was completely devastated.
