After I caught Nate cheating on me I went home. No one saw me that whole day and a few days after.

I wasn't feeling school so I didn't go. My mom would always come up and check on me. I haven't told her yet only because she will tell my dad and my dad and he'll want to kill Nate.

Although that doesn't sound like that bad of an idea.

Nate has texted and called only a few times. It's like he just lost all the feelings he had for me.

Grayson has called and texted so much. He's even came over and tried to see me. I told my mom I didn't want to see anyone.

I just need to be alone and think.
I know I hurt Ethan by calling him a liar when all he tried to do was protect me.

I have to apologize to him when I see him.
It's Saturday night right now. I'm going to go back to school Monday. I have to push past everything that's holding me back. I can't let Nate control me.

There were two knocks on my room door.

"Jasmine. Ethans here."
My mom said opening my door slightly.

"I don't want to see him mom."

"I don't think you have a choice jaz."
I heard someone who wasn't my mom say.

I looked up to see Ethan leaning in my door frame.

"Ethan what are you doing here? I look terrible."
I said because I haven't left my room in 4 days.

He laughed slightly as he pushed himself off the door frame and walked over to my bed.

"What's wrong Jasmine."

I laughed slightly.

"What isn't wrong with my life Ethan?"
"I caught Nate kissing Kylie Tuesday and I'm so heartbroken Ethan."
I burst into tears in front of him.

He pulled me into his chest.

"I'm sorry Jasmine."
He said holding my crying body close in his arms.

He's so comforting
but why is he here?

"Why are you here Ethan?"

"I was worried about you. Grayson is too. You should talk to him."

I nodded my head. I know Grayson is super worried. He always worries about me. Even when he shouldn't.

"I'm coming back Monday."

"I'll be there to protect you from everything."
He told me. That completely threw me off guard.

"Protect me from what?"

"Rumors, people who can't mind their business, Nate, I'll protect you from everything."

I smiled at him.

"Thanks E."

"No problem jaz."
He pulled me into another hug. This time we just laid there. Silence filled the room as my eyes got heavy as I fell asleep in his arms.

I woke up still in Ethan's arms. He was holding me tight almost like he would never let go.

His head was leaned back on the headboard, eyes closed, and his mouth open slightly.

I carefully removed his arms from around me and got up to go to the bathroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror and was not pleased at the sight I saw. No wonder Nate cheated on me. He wanted to get away because I'm so ugly.

I felt a tear slide down my cheek. I closed my eyes and took a big breath of air into my lungs. My hands gripped the sink tightly.

How can anyone love someone as ugly as me?
