Ethans P.O.V.

I got ready early and made sure to take my time driving over to the burger place.

I had a lot to say. Well.. no yeah I do.

I have to tell her the truth.

But at the same time I wish I didn't have to. Yes things aren't great bewtren us per say but we work well together.

She completes me and nobody can ever compare.

Kayla's P.O.V

I waited in one of the booths near the window and took small sips of the water I had ordered.

Everytime I heard a car park my eyes would immediately turn to are if it was him but no.

That was until a few minutes later.

Ethans car pulled up close to where I sat and I tried to maintain my eyes locked on the floating ice cubes near the top of my cup.

Breath in kayla

Breath out

I repeated to myself under my breath.

The sound of heavy footsteps clouded my mind as soon as the doors of the place opened up.

I knew what was coming and to be completely honest I was not ready to face it all.

"Hey," I heard Ethan say to me once he reached the booth I was sitting at.

I diverted my eyes to his tall figure standing near me and softly smiled repeating a simple hey back to him.

He took this as a cue to sit right across from me in order for us to finally speak without any hidden emotions.

"Kayla i-"

"Ethan, I just need you to listen okay?" I said before he spoke any longer.

Ethan nodded a yes and waited for me to continue.

"Look I know things between us have been a bit rocky recently and to be completely honest I have been trying to push certain emotions away but clearly those emotions keep manifesting themselves.  Ethan, I'm still upset and angry about the whole you going to a party without me or telling me about it." I say while letting myself take a deep breath in and out.

"I know you can make your own decisions and you don't have to ask for permission I guess but I just have trust issues. I never been in an actual relationship before and I'm scared that since things are good between us something bad will happen and trust me I'm not prepared for any of that."

Ethans P.O.V

Oh kayla please don't make this harder for me

"I love you so much that I don't want to lose you," she softly whispers as tears begin to form.

I quickly move over to her side of the booth embracing her into my arms.

"Babe I love you too and you don't have to worry about that happening," I cooed into her ear.

I can't hurt her

"And I just want to apologize for going to that stupid party.  And about the phone call with Kevin and all that. I'm fucking sorry" I whispered while softly running my hands through her hair.

"I promise not to do that again okay?" She looks at me with a pained but relieved smile.

"Okay " she says before pecking my lips.

Why am I so fu king stupid

Kayla's P.O.V

After talking to Ethan, we decided to go out and venture out as far away as possible.

I felt a bit more light and he seemed to be too.

We laughed and talked about prom.

Strange isn't it.

I never thought about prom until now or graduation to be completely honest.

Prom was about 2 months before graduation simply because we were stupid and didn't book the venue for a later date but oh well.

Prom and graduation weren't the only things stuck in my mind.

The idea of going to college and possibly working for my father and his company was beyond nerve wracking.

Ethan on the other hand was quite comfortable with his future.

He had been accepted to this college only an hour or so away. The same one Roni got accepted into.

He received a scholarship for his outstanding work on a film he had directed.

I honestly forget he directs a lot of small and local films, or videos. He just doesn't like to brag about it much and if he does talk about it, it's about those works he is most proud of.

I honestly sometimes wish I could go to college with him but I think my father always expected me to work for him that way one day I could take over everything. 

I never told Ethan about the idea of me joining him. It just sounds so grown up its scares me.

"Are you okay?" Ethan says while he looks between me and the road.

"Yeah sorry I guess I zoned out," i shrugged it off.

"Okay just making sure," he holds my hand. "We are almost there," he smiles.
