a few days had passed since i ended mine and ethan's relationship. to say i've been sad would be an understatement.
i can't believe he would pretend to not even know me and then he hasn't even called or texted since.
i thought he was better than that, but i guess not. maybe he's not the one for me.
my thoughts are interrupted by the doorbell ringing. i wonder who it is.
i jog down the stairs and head for the door. when i open it i am faced with the one and only ethan. wasn't expecting this to be quite honest.
i quietly scoff. i'm mad at him but i do miss him.
"hey," he says, softly.
"hey."
"we need to talk."
"i uh- sure, come in," i say, hesitantly.
he steps inside and looks at me i walk over to the couch, as he follows me.
we place ourselves down and i wait for him to speak up.
"i'm sorry," is the first thing he says.
"i bet you are," i say, rudely under my breath.
"just let me explain, okay? please?"
"go for it," i say, sighing.
"well, i never really told you this, but i had a really fucked up life. i didn't do relationships, only one night stands. that's why i said i didn't know you, because my friend still thinks im like that. he's still like that," he says. he stares right into my eyes. "ever since i met you, i wanted to change. i wanted to become a good person. and that's what i did. you changed me, y/n. you brought out the best in me. and i promise i will never do that again. ill tell him you're my girlfriend, because who the fuck cares what he thinks. i'd rather have you than aaron."
i sniffle, trying to hold back tears. i was incredibly hurt by what he did, but happy because he came here and said this.
i thought he was finished talking and i tried to find the right words to say. but then he speaks up again.
"i- i guess what i'm trying to say is," he lets out a breath. "i love you."
my heart did not only skip a beat. it fucking stopped. i felt the feeling of euphoria. i loved him too. but i was speechless.
"i-i love you too," i finally say and let out a breath i didn't know i was holding.
he stands there, still looking directly in my eyes. i see a smile slowly form on his face.
we stand there for a what seems like forever, looking into each other eyes.
"kiss me already, assclown," i say.
he giggles and smashes his lips onto mine. this kiss was different from the other times we've kissed.
he pinned me on the wall and i cupped his cheeks in my hands.
i wanted to stay in this moment forever.
