Together Forever.

I Want You Back

"I never got you that promise ring" He admitted, looking down at the ground. Biting his lip ring, his once blue eyes are now a deep sea green,

"No, you didn't" I was really short with words, I didn't have much to say to him,

"I really am sorry, Marie. Can I please just have a second chance, love?" he questioned, I can see the doubt in his eyes,

"Ethan, I can't right now. Please understand, I need time to think" I felt a lump  coming up in my throat, I swallowed trying to push it down,

"Take all the time that you need, just remember that I love you. I love you so much, Marie and I can't stand to lose you" he leaned down, kissed my cheek, and walked away from me down the long, grey pavement. I watched him as he disappeared over the horizon,

"I love you too Ethan" I whispered to myself and continued to walk to the store. I couldn't quite remember what Alice wanted from the store I pulled out my shining, white iPhone and called her, "Hi Alice, I didn't die I just ran into Ethan" I said jokingly,

"You ran into Ethan?!"

"Yes, I feel horrible right now. Anyways can you just tell me what you need from the store so I can come home and go to bed?"

"Bread, ice cream, and whatever else you want honey"

"k, bye" I couldn't think of anything else to say, I continued on my way and picked up some bread.

----------

"Here is your stupid bread and ice cream" I threw down the bag on the counter,

"Thank you, Marie" I rolled my eyes back at her, and slowly made my journey back to my bed. I marched one foot in front of the other up my maple wood staircase. I made it to my door, finally, and looked up at my door to find a note hanging on it. I pulled it off, opening it up slowly, nervous to find what was inside. I pulled out a note from my mum,

'my dearest Marie, it has been almost a year since I have seen you last. I hope you are doing well; I miss you more than words can say. I hope you and Ethan are doing well; I came across some of your old things last week. I found your journal, a couple shirts, and your old camera. I put them in the mail with this note, if you get this before them don't worry its coming. I love you so much darling, call me anytime. ~mum'

Great, this makes me feel worse; I left those things home for a reason. I'd rather not see them again, ever.

I flung my door open rather viciously, and jumped into bed. I wrapped myself up tightly in my zebra blankets, tears started streaming down my face. I don't know what to do; I want to be back with Ethan so badly. He hurt me so bad, but he is mine forever. We were going to spend the rest of our lives together; I just want to know what to do.

Buzz buzz**

I need an answer

Buzz buzz**

Is that my phone? I sniffled and wiped away my tears, I rolled over grabbing my iPhone seeing a picture of me and Ethan with the word 'boyfriend' with a blue emoji heart  written across the screen, "Hello?"

"Hi"

"What do you want, Ethan?" I snapped at him, I didn't mean to but I didn't understand why he would call me.

"I just need to talk to you, seeing you today made me realize just how bad I truly miss you. When you ran your fingers over my tattoo I remembered how we always said together forever, and I hurt you. I broke that promise when I cheated on you with Lindsay, but that was such a mistake, Marie. I love you so much; the guilt of doing that has taken over my life. I haven't been able to leave my room for days; I sleep all day and am up all night. I try to think of ways to get you back but they always end in failure. I'm not perfect; I hope you don't expect me to be. But you make me perfect, without you I'm nothing" he confessed, then stopped and sniffled. I can tell he is trying to hold back tears; I just sat on the other end of the phone. I'm trying to breath but it's almost impossible, all I can manage to say is

"Ethan, I love you. I truly do, but the pain you caused me is the worst pain I've ever felt. When I saw her name on your phone it felt like I was stabbed with a big knife through my heart. All my trust for you is completely gone. But seeing you today made me realize that I can't live without you"I looked around my room, trying to think of more words to say. It's true, I can't live without him. The pain of not being with him is killing me, but I can't fall back into him. He needs to prove to me that he can love me again,

"You say you love me?" I choke out holding back my tears,

"Marie, I love you more than anything. I just want to make this right" he sniffled,

"Well if you love me, prove it. I got to go Ethan; I'll see you tomorrow at school. Bye-"

"Wait, baby say you love me." he sighed,

"What?"

"Tell me you love me."

"I love you, Ethan."

"That's all I needed to get through tonight, goodnight baby."  I sighed and threw my phone at the foot of my bed, hitting the metal bed frame,

"Hey Marie, there's a package here for you. It's from your mum!" Alice yelled up the stairs, I rolled my eyes and flung my blankets off of me. I marched myself down stairs to meet Alice and retrieve my package,

"Where?" I grumbled, she pointed over to the table where a big box covered in dark brown paper lies,

"Thanks, Alice" I walked over and tucked the box under my arms then made my way back to my dark, depressing bedroom,

"Wait, Marie you are eating tonight. I can't have you starve yourself like you used to" those words flooded back painful memories.
