chapter 34

recap: ethan went to rose house to apologize about what he said at the party. rose almost gave him another chance until charlie and chloe got there too. chloe apologizes about kissing ethan and how she didn't know who he was till that night after it all happened. charlie throws ethan under the bus on how lia cheated with ethan on rose. ethan then throws him under the bus on how he knew everything but didn't say anything to her when she asked. jonathan asked rose to go eat with him as friends and she says yes.

ethan;

i was going to tell her everything i knew but charlie had to throw me under the fucking bus. i finally see him in the hallway and that's when i go up to him. "you're a piece of shit why couldn't you keep your mouth shut," i growl pushing him against the locker

he laughs. "i wasn't going to let you have another chance to hurt her, you shouldn't get another chance," he says back

my blood starts boiling hearing him say this. "after all we are the same," he says

"no we're not," i snap

he retaliated. "you kept shit from her too just not to hurt her and look where you are now? i don't care what you feel about her but you shouldn't be getting another opportunity to hurt her. i know she hates me right now but i did what i could to get you out of her life. she suffered enough with lia," suddenly his smirk turns into a frown

"then why didn't you say anything about lia? if you were her best friend you would've," i finally let go off him backing away

"we both had our reasons not to," he says plainly walking away from me.

i can tell she's avoiding me because usually i always run into her even though we still have a class together.

rose;

chloe wouldn't stop walking so fast to ceramics. "can you slow down?" i groan and she laughs at me on how slow i walk. but the truth is she has long legs.

"hurry up, so we can get good seats," she tells me and i roll my eyes. as long as i don't have to look at ethan or speak to him i'm okay with where i sit.

talk to him. let him explain himself

so now my head wants to part with ethan? after all the shit

you miss him

i do. "come on," chloe pulls on my arm taking me to the back of the class. great, right next to where ethan sits. "you seriously need to talk to him. you're all acting like kids," chloe said

i look at her annoyed this is why she picked to sit here. "i don't care how i'm acting i won't talk to him," she looks at me bothered

"you're being a hypocrite," she adds

"how?" i asked confused

"because you're the one who's always saying how we should listen what others have to say like when i thought josh cheated on me,"

she's right but i don't need to agree. "that's different to this," i lie

she gives me a look of is it really any different

"you need to stop being so stubborn and scared he will turn out to be like lia. lia is lia he's ethan not lia. charlie is getting inside your head,"

i look at ethan as he has his head down low trying to hide the fact he's on his phone right now. "don't push everyone away,"

"i'm not, i have my motives." i defend myself

even though ethan did lie to me i know i would forgive him in a heartbeat and i can't be that girl. the girl who forgives the guy for whatever stupid shit he did. "i'm seeing jonathan after school," i blurted

you want to make him jealous because you know he's paying attention

"why? we both know you don't feel anything towards him because ethan is the one."

can she ever stop talking? i don't have the patience for this and it's wearing thin right now. i can't ethan an excuse to be forgiven just because i like him.

i would have to forgive charlie too because then i'll look weak if i only forgive ethan. i hate feeling stuck between two fucking people who can't seem to stop. "ethan," chloe calls him out and my cheeks start to heat up once he turns around to look at me instead of her.

i can imagine how stupid i look when he sees me staring. "you want to be in our group?" she asked him. now she was getting under my skin but i know she has good intentions.

he hesitates to answer looking back at me basically making sure if i was okay with it so i nod my head. "sure," he says and walks over to our table sitting next to me

i can feel the goose bumps rise on my body once he sits down next to me. i can't help but remember all those times he would tease me in class or how we would play around. "so what are we doing? because im completely lost on what the project is about " he starts to ramble and i can tell he's nervous

it was something he does when he's feeling nervous or anxious. "we have to do some sort of utensil for a kitchen basically a plate or something," i said not looking at him but he finds a way for our eyes to meet

i don't like what i'm feeling with him being this close to me without it being awkward. "thanks," he grins at me

"was that hard?" chloe teases and i swat her arm. "you'll thank me later," she laughed

"hopefully," ethan mumbles under his breath but i pretend not to hear anything.
—-
chloe was called on early dismissal but i think she did it on purpose.

@chloe_91: you'll thank me later ;)

that bitch. "do you think we can talk after school?" he asked with a fake smile plastered on his face

ethan;

"do you think we can talk after school?" i asked her forcing a smile. i know she has a date with jonathan i need to give her a reason not to go.

"i can't," she simply answers "what about lunch?" she suggested

it's not what i wanted to hear because now i know she's going with him. "sure,"
