ethan -
i rolled down the car windows. emma hasn't said a word. i was surprised she even got in the car with me. i glanced over at her and saw her knees facing the door, her arms crossed, and her looking out the window. her hair was flowing with the wind.
i debated on saying something to break the silence. but i decided to just turn on music. i prepared her favorite song on my playlist. "Loving is easy" i turned it on hoping to get some kind of reaction out of her. but it didn't. all it did was pull a tear out of her eye.
she was quick to wipe it away.
"where are you taking me ethan" she said her voice very delicate so easy it could break any second.
"almost there em"
we were near our destination. there was a lot of traffic, which hopefully wasn't to slow to have us miss sunset.
we finally got there. sun about to set. the sun hit emmas skin causing it to be golden. i parked the car and sat there for a little admiring her.
"em wake up" i said trying to not startle her. she slowly woke up looking around.
emma -
i glanced around the place. it was already sunset. it took me a few seconds to realize where we were. the lake.
this was where we would always come whenever i was feeling down. i know why this place is significant to me, but why ethan? this is the place where i realized it was him who i liked, not grayson.
ethan came around to my door and opened it for me. he held out his hand for me to grab and helped me down. i hopped down.
"so, this place, it means a lot to me." he began to stutter. i could see in his face he was very nervous.
"not only would you and i come here all the time, but occasionally i would come here after. i spent hours here. looking up at the stars. thinking of you." he said looking at the sky.
my heart skipped a beat.
"emma," he looked at me and held both of my hands in his.
"it's always been you. i know for you, you've wanted grayson previously, but i've known deep down, i've always wanted you. i would always look at you looking at grayson. i would always wanna be him even if he's my twin" he chuckled to himself.
"i just always kept it to myself." he said finally.
my eyes started to fill with tears.
