It Can't

Hey guys! I just wanted to quickly tell you that I've published a new poetry book called ''One day, I loved you'' . It would mean a lot if you could check it out and give me your opinion:))

Happy reading!

Maybe that's love?

''He's giving me Elvis. With some James Dean in his eyes .''

No, it can't be that...

'' He knows just what it does. When he's holding me tight.''

It can't...

''And he calls me "Moonlight" too .''

''You killed it Lena!'' exclaimed Julia.

''It was per-fect.'' added Penelope.

I couldn't stop, but smile at all the people that I didn't know who came to congratulate me.

''Thank you girls. It was so stressful tho!'' I said.

At that moment, my phone vibrated, alerting me that someone has sent me a text message. I suddenly forgot about the people around me and the loud music when I saw the name.

From: Ethan

«We must talk... Call as soon as possible.»

The curiosity and surprise were so killing me that I couldn't ignore the message.

''Hey, I'm going to go to the washroom. I'll be here in a few minutes.'' I said, smiling at the girls who were surprised about my declaration, but returned to me my smile and simply nodded.

''Is everything okay?'' asked Julia when I was going to leave.

''Yes!'' I declared trying to look normal.

Trying...

She nodded, still confused, but turned around to start a conversation with Penelope and I took the advantage of this moment to go outside to be sure that no one could hear or see me.

''Damn, I should have bring my coat with me!'' I said frustrated because of the cold wind that was literally killing me.

I looked at my phone and hesitated to call Ethan. I wasn't ready to listen to his voice again...His voice that I used to like hearing, but that I'm now afraid of hearing.

I took a deep breath and clicked on his name. While I was waiting for his answer, I crossed my arms while moving my legs so I could warm myself up.

''Elena?'' I heard after a few seconds. It was his voice. His voice that froze me up.

''Hello?'' he added after a while.

''Ye... Yes.'' I finally answered. Oddly ,no words could come out of my mouth.

"How are you?"

Seriously? Did he just ask me this stupid question after what he did to me a few days ago?

''To be honest Ethan, I'm not good.'' I responded in a whisper.

I could hear him sighed through the phone. He should feel desesparate of my answer. After all, HE was the one who made me feel like that.

''Listen Elena, we didn't have a real talk last time and my uncle is coming to California tomorrow. Maybe we could meet up somewhere and talk ab...''

''About you thinking that I'm supposedly cheating? No Ethan, I won't talk about that. If you want to depress me again then sorry, but it won't work. I told you that I didn't do anything, now, it's your turn to trust the right person.''

There was a deep silent and he suddenly said,

''I don't know...'' he whispered, ''I don't know who to trust. Don't forget that you were still with another guy in...''

''Here we go again! If you really were trusting me, you wouldn't be hesitant about it.'' I declared, almost yelling and on the verge to cry.

''That's why I think that maybe our break shoudn't be a temporary one...'' he said with no expression.

I knew what he was going to say and that started to make me cry. It was going to be my first break-up...

''Don't...'' I started and struggled to talk while crying. ''Don't add anything.''

''Elen...''

''Just delete my phone number and...'' Again, I didn't want him to hear me cry so I stopped talking for a moment and continued, '' and forget about me.'' That being said, I rapidly hung up.

My tears were falling faster and faster as I was thinking about what just happened so I put my hand on my mouth, closed my eyes and leaned against the cold wall. At that same exact moment, I heard a voice that I recognized really well,

''Elena? Are you okay?''

When I opened my eyes and looked at Hayden, something pushed me towards him. I needed some company. I needed some comfort. I needed a hug.

So I run towards him and hugged him. So many events had happened that I guess this is all what I needed...A tight hug.

<<Sometimes a hug is worth more than a thousand words.>>
