Ella's POV

"Here. Sorry for your leg." Jonathan

said to Toby, handing him the meds.

Toby took the two small pills and swallowed them. He didn't say anything to Jonathan.

I felt... well I was feeling a mixture of things. Happiness that Jonathan was alive and here. Guilt for starting a relationship with Toby, yet longing for him also. I knew I had to be with Jonathan now considering he was my fiancé, but I had developed feelings for Toby. Above all I felt utterly confused.

"Who are you?" Jonathan asked Toby, sounding as polite as he could.

"I'm Toby Turner. I am Ella's.... friend, I guess." Toby answered.

"You guess? Are you uncertain of your friendship?" Jonathan asked.

I could already tell this conversation would not end well.

"No I know we're friends. I just don't know if that's it." Toby replied. I realized he was actually trying to keep our relationship from Jonathan, but I knew it wouldn't work.

"If that's it? Ella?" Jonathan said, somewhat angrily turning to me.

"Well.. I don't know." I said trying to avoid any fights.

"Come with me." he said, grabbing my wrist and pulling me behind him.

This wasn't usually like him. Jonathan would never forcefully pull me somewhere. I tried to wriggle my hand loose, but his grip only tightened. I heard Toby yell to 'let her go!' I couldn't see him but I imagined him unsuccessfully attempting to stand up.

"Jonathan!" I said.

Why was he acting this way?

He pulled me outside in to the parking lot of the store.

"What happened while I was gone?" He asked, his voice growing angry.

"Jonathan just calm down. And please don't grab me like that." I said trying to keep my voice calm.

"Answer me!" He yelled.

I had never seen him act like this in the two years we dated. He was so angry and not the sweet kind man I fell in love with.

"I'm going to be honest with you because I love you. We have to be honest with each other," I hesitated preparing myself to confess, "Toby and I did have some relationship together."

"I knew it! Why? Why would you betray me like that? You.. You disgust me!" He spat the words, pacing back and forth in front of me.

"I thought you were dead!! You were gone to me!!" I said, tears beginning to make their way down my face.

"Well you got over me really quick, didn't you?! You know what? Now you're gone to me!" He shouted, turning and walking away.

Two years. Two years full of happiness and joy and what I thought was love. Two years with that man. The man that just left me.

I was crying a lot. My body shaking, I fell on my knees. I was angry at myself. Angry for ever thinking that I loved that man. He didn't love me. Love was about forgiving people for things that seemed unforgivable. Love was about trusting in one another and treating each other like royalty. Jonathan Pierce did not love me. And I did not love him anymore.
