we were in the car, ethan and i, on our way the apartment. it was awfully silent. i didn't like the feeling of that, it just causes me to overthink. so i decided to break the silence, "so, i talked to ellie.."

he turns his face towards me and frowns, "and?"

quickly turning his head back onto the road, i continued, "well, she told me she got dizzy during class, and that's why she had to leave... poor baby."

he kept his eyes on the road, mumbling 'mmhmm' to let me know that he was listening... but clearly didn't care.

i turn my head towards him, "can you at least try to act like you care.?"

he stayed silent.

"you've been acting weird, cold, everytime i speak about ellie."

i continued to stare at him, letting out a "mmh?" for him
to answer me.

he let out a deep sigh and passed one of his hands through his hair. ethan parked the car on the side of the road, he turned his full attention towards me, "listen noora, why would i start caring about someone that barely gives a fuck about me?"

i lowered my head, looking down at my hands that i've started to play with, out of nervousness.

i felt his stare towards me, knowing he started to
feel bad. ethan brought his hands onto both of my hands, hanging tight onto them, "alright. fine, baby.." he rolled his eyes, "for you, i'll be nice."

he leaned over towards the passenger seat allowing him to give me quick peck on my lips following with a gentle smile.

i parked the car on the apartment's parking lot, as we had arrived. the majority of the ride was silent, which was mostly because we kept running out of subjects to talk about. it made the ride a little uncomfortable not gonna lie.
i'd see her look at me with that stare, at the corner of my eyes. i knew that stare, and i didn't have to look directly at her to recognize it. she was looking at me with worry. something she'd do when we're fighting or there'd be something wrong.
we got out of the car, closing and locking our doors. we began walking towards the entrance.
"we'll have to be silent coming in- ellie will probably be sleeping or relaxing.." noora claimed. i nodded to show that i understood.

noora put the key into the lock, opening the door.
"oh my god-" noora tapped on my shoulder, lightly giggling.
"wha- oh." i chuckled, my mouth agape.

no, ellie wasn't sleeping. she wasn't relaxing in any way either. she had her earbuds in, clearly enjoying the music. jumping up and down, she started singing, "hEY! heY! yOu! yOU! I doN'T liKE yoUR GIRLFRIEND!"
"oh ellie.." noora said covering her mouth as she laughed.

still jumping and dancing, ellie turned around, opening her eyes, "i think you need a..new..one...." she takes off her earbuds and turns off her music. ellie quickly changed the tone in her voice as she noticed noora and i at the front door.
