i dont know what gave me the confidence to go up to him. i dont know why i did. but the next thing i know, he turns around.
and smiles.
"victoria?" he asks, a happy/surprised look on his face, "what are you doing here?"
"i go to UCLA. what are you doing?" i ask him, pretending that i don't already know.
"grayson and i were filming a video for our youtube channel." i let out a quick "oh" then look down slightly.
there was awkwardness in the air, and neither of us could avoid it. we really thought we fell in love in hawaii.
"um, i have to go, im helping my friend move out of her apartment." i say, almost excited to leave the awkwardness behind. i turn to leave, before ethan cuts me off, grabbing my wrist gently.
my heart skips a beat. i forgot how nice it felt to be in his arms.
"wait. can i have your number?" he asks. im surprised he still wants to keep in touch. but what am i going to do, say no? i mean come on he got a big ass glow up.
"oh, yeah. sure." he gives me his phone and i type in my number, making the contact name "Tori 🌸". i hand his phone back to him and walk towards the car where josh and amber already were.
"bye, tori." he says quietly, before turning back to the camera.

ethan's pov
wow. i didnt think she wouldn't remember me, but im glad she did. she really glew up. she was always gorgeous, however.i fell in love in hawaii, and after seeing her again today, i dont think those feelings ever left. she might've changed, but it seems she's just as sweet as she was three years ago.
there she was, sitting on the beach chair. she was beautiful. she was laughing along with who i guessed was her brother.
she looked over in my direction. i think she caught me staring, so i quickly turn my gaze towards something else. until i see her, walking up to me.
"if you take a picture, it'll last longer," she says, smiling. her voice was sweeter than honey.
"sorry," i reply, not having much experience with girls.
"its fine," she says, still smiling, "im victoria." she then holds out her hand, which i gladly take.
"ethan, ethan dolan." i smile back at her. maybe i could get her number.
"vikki!" i hear someone yell, and we both turn. it looks like it could be her mom.
"sorry, i have to go. bye ethan!" she says, running back towards her mom.
i didnt get her number, so hopefully i'll se her again this week.

Tori's pov
"ok, if we hurry, my bo- ex boyfriend wont be here. lets go!!" amber yells, commanding us to go. we all run inside after her with the boxes and we pack all of her clothes, room decor, everything else that belongs to her. she still has his location, so she looks quickly."alright, we have about 7 minutes so we need to hurry." she grabs two boxes, i get three, and josh gets the remaining three. we all jog to her car after going down the elevator, and load everything into my and josh's cars. they were both somewhat small, so we could split the load.
i drive out first, and them josh, and we all go to my apartment as fast as we can.
