all she ever wanted was true love, the kind that her parents missed out on...

violet's pov;

I stared at the message that Ethan sent me as Joey, Shawn and I all sat on the benches outside. It was now Lunch and I had Chemistry next.

"Oh my fucking god, Ethan is the most complicated piece of shit ever." Joey says, looking at the message in my hands.

"He got jealous because he saw you and Will together?" Shawn asks.

"Yes." I sigh.

"Well, it's down to you in the end. Will, he's a good guy. I haven't known him for long but we have Music together and he's a good singer." Shawn says.

"Maybe it is time for you to find something more than just sex." Joey sighs, looking at me with sympathy.

She was right. My life-long dream was to find love in my life and clearly Ethan didn't want to be a part of it.

violet: no.

I get a reply almost immediately.

ethan: what do you mean no?
ethan: do as you're told baby. you don't want daddy getting angry huh?

I could practically feel him smirking as he typed those two texts.

violet: i need something more than sex ethan. i want a good relationship and if you're not down for that then i'm finding it elsewhere

I sigh to myself as Ethan simply just reads it and doesn't reply. I shut my phone, putting it into my pocket as Shawn, Joey and I continue to talk about school as well as making some plans to meet each over the week.

"Starbucks after school today though?" Joey asks.

"I'm down." I say.

"Yeah, thats cool." Shawn smiles. We nod in agreement before I see Ethan across the field ...talking to Will.

Will comes close to Ethan signalling that they were about to have a fucking fight.

Are you being fucking serious Ethan?

"Fuck!" I say, face-palming myself. I look back up as Shawn meets my gaze and so does Joey as they get up with me. I watch the scene unravel in front of me as Ethan throws a punch at him. Will dodges it before yelling at him. Ethan lunges at him, tackling him to the floor before punching his face. A crowd gathers around as I shake my head.

I run up to them, looking at Nate who just shrugged at me.

"Help me take him off!" I shout, grabbing onto Ethan. Ethan notices it's me who is pulling him off and actually listens to me.

I look at Ethan, as he wipes blood from his mouth, standing up. He looked guilty.

"What was that Ethan?" I ask. He didn't answer me, he just stared at the ground.

I look to see Will who had a bruise on his cheek and he had a busted lip.

"What happened?" I ask, Will as he talks to Shawn.

"I have no idea. He just came up to me and said that you were his girlfriend and that I should back off." he says. I feel the anger boiling up in me. I wasn't his girlfriend. At all.

"Are you?" Will asks.

"No. Definitely not." I say, shooting Ethan a glare. I see Grayson coming up to his brother before they walk off together, talking amongst themselves.

"I'm so sorry." I say to Will. Joey drags Shawn away from me, shooting me a wink. God, she was one hell of a bestfriend.

"It's fine, don't worry. One of us still has a pretty girl next to them." he smiles. I shake my head at his stupid comment.

"You're too sweet." I shake my head.

"I try." he says. We sit down together and talk for a while, until the bell interrupts our conversation.

"So, what do you have right now?" he questions as we begin to walk inside.

"Chemistry." I sigh.

"That sucks. I have Music. I'll catch you tomorrow?" he asks.

"Tomorrow." I confirm. He walks off in the opposite direction before I walk into the Chemistry lab.

I sit down in my seat, hoping that I wouldn't have to deal with Ethan today. The lesson drags on. I watch the clock ticking past. Usually, he would come to class at least fifteen or twenty minutes late so I didn't expect anything less from him.

I checked my phone to see if he would actually want me to meet him but there was nothing. I sigh, as I start to do the worksheets.

The lesson went after the tedious minutes and soon the bell went for next period. I had Maths with both Ethan and Grayson but Joey was also in my class so we usually sat together.

"Gray." I whisper, kicking him. His eyes shoot up as he says "ow" playfully.

"Where's Ethan? He wasn't in Chemistry." I whisper.

"He wasn't?" Grayson questions, his expression clearly as confused as I was. Was it because of the fight?

"I have no idea where he is." Grayson says.

"Mr Dolan! Miss LaMont! Would you like to share what is so important that you have to talk in my class?" the teacher says.

I mutter under my breath before Grayson looks at him. "Yeah I was just talking about how awfully shit this class is." Grayson speaks up. There a few snickers from the class as I smile at Grayson.

The teacher raises his brows at Grayson before ignoring him and turning around to continue with the equation on the board.

"Sneak out?" Grayson asks. I nod my head at him as Joey looks at me in alarm.

"Don't leave me!" she whisper-yells. Before Grayson and I could respond to her, the door swings open and Ethan comes in. Grayson and I exchange glances as he sits down at our table.

"How nice of you to finally join us." our teacher says. Ethan rolls his eyes.

I look to see his hair was messy and his lips were swollen. He had lipgloss on them too. I looked at his neck to see hickeys on his neck. Ones that I didn't leave there.

I felt my heart break a little. Why was I feeling like this? I knew that we weren't anything.

"Where were you bro?" Grayson asks, his eyes scanning mine and Joey's before landing on his brother's. Ethan's eyes stayed on me as he smirked deviously.

"I was busy." he says. Grayson whispers something to Ethan, causing him to wipe his mouth. I shake my head in disgust. Wow. Was be really going to pull this shit with me?

I stared at him, a sickening feeling in my gut. I hated him.

I hated him so much.

Was this supposed to be some sort of revenge for him? Because of Will? Because I actually wanted a relationship?

Ethan stared at my expression, the smirk unable to leave his face, as Grayson shot me a look of sympathy. I suddenly couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and went outside. I took a few deep breaths, making my way to the bathroom.

"Violet—" I hear Grayson call after me, but I couldn't process anything properly in this moment. I just needed to get Ethan's arrogant face out of my head.

Out of my god damn life.

a/n: well, ethan, you're a class A douchebag huh
