Its three in the afternoon and I am lying here in my room with a confused mind and an unsteady heart.
A heart that has thousands of questions and a mind that just doesn't really has the answer to all those questions.
I rewind the scene at the breakfast in my head.
"Jace ? Jace Jordan ?"
"Ummm yeah how do you know him?"
I whisper to myself,
"How do I know him?"
"Are you okay Mia?" Mr. Baker asked in a concerned voice.
"Uhhh yeah , I am , I am okay ."
I say this and walk straight to my room.
All of this has just been playing in my head on repeat. I am distracted as I hear my phone ringing.
Its my mom.
I decline the call and get out of my bed.
"I need to know the truth", I tell myself and freshen up.
I leave the room with my phone.
I knock the door of Ethan's room. No response. I knock again and I hear the lock opening.
"Ohh hey Mia!"Ethan says in a smooth voice.
"Ummm , can I get in if you don't mind ?"
"Yeah , sure."
He asked me that if I was okay now. I nodded a yes.
His room was just similar to mine. I watch him as he sits on the couch. Though his height was man-like, I couldn't mistake that face for anything but a boy. His long brown hair was damp by which I guess he just took a shower. The veins on his hands were clearly visible in the sky blue tshirt that he wore.
Before I could realize, he was looking at me.
"Uhhh do I not look okay Mia?"he asks with a giggle.
"Oh no, you look absolutely fine." I say. Okay ,this was embarrassing.
"Concentrate Miaaaa."I tell myself
"How do you know Jace?"Ethan interrogates.
I would prefer dying rather than answering this. It haunts me more than anything could. But I need to know the thruth so I had to tell him.
I begin ,
"Jace. Jace Jordan. He was my boyfriend."
"Oh , I see."
"Yeah."I say .
"When did you guys end ?"
"Two years ago. Two years ago in October." I say
"That was.."
he says and the pauses halfway through. I look at him. He was awestruck.
"That was what ?" I ask
"That was right when Claire left me."he says in a low voice
"Claire ? Chaire who?"
"My ex-wife."
"Oh!" I say to which he just nods.
