just friends

Chapter 7

I know Cameron said I have nothing to worry about, that Ethan doesn't like me like that but I couldn't help but wonder what if  he did like me as more than a friend? I  mean we have so many things going for each other other and there's less intimidated things that could stand in our way. oh who am I kidding I have zero chance with Ethan. I'm not pretty enough  like Avery, there's no way I complete with her. Hell I can even step close to Ethan without acting weird and feeling the butterflies erupt in my stomach when he smiles at me. Almost as if he could see right through me. 

An echo sound came  through my phone.  

Oh great I wonder who that could be?  

I picked up my phone and saw that it was a text message the one and only Ethan Dolan.  

Ethan: hey Brie wanna come over & hang out? 

shit what do I do?  I can't hang out  with him. 

I went over to the Dolan's house, even though I don't want to see Ethan because of my feelings for him, but after a lot and yes I mean a lot of thinking and by hanging out with him I can see if you feels the same way about me like I do about him.

"Hello Lisa, how are you doing today?" I greeted her as she opens the door. 

"Hello brielle, I'm doing swell thank you for asking" She replies with a warm smile, stepping to the side and letting me to come in. " Ethan's in his room, you can held on up." She adds as I walk through the door. I head straight to the stairs and began walking up them mentally preparing myself for this. 

I didn't even bother knocking on his closed door, I walk right in yelling a hi as I go over and sit down on his bed right next to him.  We engaged into a conversation catching up on everything we missed over the days we didn't hang out.Okay will the days I refuse to hang out with him because of my real feelings for him, that could  potentially ruin our friendship. If I'm being honest here I'm not even paying attention to what he is saying, I can't help but to notice things about him that I didn't notice before. 

"I need to tell you something, and I don't know how well you're going to take it. "

I shot up and looked at him, thoughts  going straight to the dream. 

Does he know about it? What if he thinks I'm a creep now? Is he going to end our friendship?

" Okay, what is it?"  Trying not to sound scared out of my mind. 

"Well, on the days we didn't hang out, I kinda hung out with Avery and we are dating now"

 My heart just broke into a million pieces scatter  across the floor.  The words I thought I would never hear. But I was also angry. I can't even look at him, I've never thought the person who I am close to so much  could  hurt me so bad. 

"How can you do this to me Ethan? After everything she did to me over the months, and now you're dating her." I said slightly raising my voice. 

"Look I gotten to know her and she's actually very nice and she felt bad about everything she did to you."

"I can not believe you right now. "  I need to get out of here and fast. I can't bare to look at him. I get up and walk out his bedroom door and down the stairs not saying a word.

"Brie!" I hear Ethan yelled and foot steps following. I just start running, out of his sight, out of his house and to mine. I went straight up to my room and lock my door, not wanting anyone to come in. I sled my back down the back of the door and pull my knees to my chest rocking slightly as the tears start falling down, slowly at first then picking up as well as my rocking. I've never cried this bad since my  first boyfriend cheated on me.
