ETHANS POV
"ethan.." i heard emma say with a little voice.
"what's wrong??"
"please come over i need you"
i got up and drove over to emmas house.
i got to her door and went in because i knew the code. i walked up to emmas room and there she was, in a ball, on her bed crying.
i snuck up behind her and held her. she turned around in my arms so we were face to face.
she had tears all over her face.
i got my hand and brushed the hair off her face so i could see her.
"they hate me." she said.
"what?"
"everyone hates me. they hated the way i dressed at the opening, my makeup, just fucking EVERYTHING" she said starting to get mad.
"emma it's okay it's okay.."
no matter how bad i wanted to stick up for emma and say we're dating,
i couldn't. emma didn't want our relationship to be public at all. and she didn't want me defending her anymore because last time i did it brought so much attention. she didn't want the public to know we were dating. which made me a little disappointed because i won't be able to hold emmas hand in public, kiss her in public, or be able to comment cute things on her posts.
i got out my phone and i was about to defend her on twitter but she stopped me.
"ethan don't. it's just gonna bring so much attention and i just.. i just don't need that right now."
i exited out of twitter but texted ryan to defend her on twitter because i couldn't. of course i didn't tell her i was gonna ask him to defend her but it's just a thing i have to do.
i hugged her and stroked her hair across the pillow till she fell asleep.
after he defended her on twitter everyone was coming after me for not defending emma. i hate how people think i don't defend emma.
i tried to sleep because it was already 11. but i couldn't. i couldn't sleep knowing that there are people out there hating emma.
i went on twitter around 2 and tweeted "i love you" not tagging emma of course but not directing it to the fandom. it was for emma. i love her.
i woke up in the morning to emma waking me up.
"ethan ethan!"
i wiped my eyes and looked at her.
"why'd you tweet this it's already brought so much attention"
she showed me my tweet saying i love you.
"because i do. and sometimes i just need you to know."
she dropped the phone on the bed and smiled. she flopped her head onto my chest and whispered.
"i love you too"
we went into the living room and turned on graysons record player that he made. we played tame impala.
we sat on the couch and just talked. about anything. and i've never felt better before.
