"good morning," he smiled.

more..."i got a sexy ma," diego after slapping my ass.
i kissed him on the lips. he started kissing back. he bit my bottom lip. he carried me onto the bed and kept kissing with more passion. suddenly my phone started ringing.
"i need to get that," i chuckled.
"that person can wait," he smirked.
"diegoo what if its important," i said. he rolled his eyes and got off of me. it was a random number. i declined, but then it called again and i answered.
"hello?" i said.
"hey. its ethan.." he said.
"this isn't your number."
"i know you blocked me, remember?"
"oh yeah."
"anyway .. how are you holding up?"
"okay i guess. i'm feeling a bit better. you?"
"still hurt."
"oh.. i'm sorry.. it'll get better. there's still another chance of having another child for you."
"I don't know. will it? because i wanted to raise a child with you. now you're with someone else."
"ethan.."
"never mind. bye."
he hung up.
"who was that?" diego asked. "was that your ex?"
"don't worry about it.. he was just asking how i was doing, you know, with the incident and everything."
"okay." he shrugged.
"babe i am gonna go get something at starbucks, you want anything?" i asked.
"nah."
"ok."
i grabbed my keys really quick and drove.

"hi, can i get a skinny soy vanilla latte?" i asked."sure," the lady smiled. "is that all you want?"
"yes please," i smiled back.
"okay then. whats your name?"
"chloe. its spelled c-h-l-o-e."
"okay your total is $4.65."
"thank you."
i went to the side where they put your order. i turned around, and there through the door where you enter, i saw twin brothers come inside.
ethan and his twin brother grayson.
fuck, i thought. i turned back avoiding eye contact hoping that they didn't see me. grayson was the one who was ordering something, but ethan wasn't. he finished ordering and he saw me but i looked away. before i knew it he was next to me.
"hey chloe," grayson said.
"hi grayson. how's it going?"
"good. i've been better though. you?"
"same."
"yeah i heard about what happened. i'm really sorry."
"thanks.."
"yeah , it kind of damaged ethan. he is really hurt right now.."
i stood there in silence not knowing what to say.
"just tell him to feel better and to leave me alone." i mumbled.
"i don't know clo. he really got affected by it. he misses you and stuff, thats all i'm saying."
"oh.. ok.."
"but i keep telling him to move on and he keeps saying 'i can't'. but we both know he should."
"why can't he just find another girlfriend! i already have a boyfriend and ethan might start causing problems in my relationship. he can't keep doing this. i have moved on from him. i don't like him anymore. and if you two are following me, then please stop. he was the one who broke my heart. its his fucking fault. gray, i really don't wanna blame you for anything, but in order for me to avoid ethan i have to avoid you too. i'm sorry.."
grayson's pov
chloe looked like she felt bad. this was ethan's problem to fix, not mine. the only way for him to fix it is to move on from her. sometimes he would cry himself to sleep. he has to let her go and stop putting himself through so much pain. especially if she is with someone else. ethan and i went into the car. he slid into the passenger seat.
"how'd it go?" he asked while looking at his phone.
"um, it went okay."
"why are you lying? are we really doing this?" he grunted.
"i- i'm sorry ethan. she wants you to move on. quite frankly i do too. i am sick of this."
"you are supposed to help me!"
"i am helping you, e! you need to stop before you hurt yourself. this girl is with someone else, get over it. stop loving her, ethan. thats the way to fix it. stop loving someone you can't have."
"i can't!!" he shouted as pain escaped his voice. "i hate myself for what i did! i am still in love with this girl, and i'd be damned if i hurt her again. fuck!! why can't i stop!" tears starting rolling down his cheek.
"shh its okay." i whispered. "you'll get through this."
oof. i had some writer's block throughout this chapter. but what do you think will happen next?
