After last night I hate myself

What had I done?

Ethan kisses me and I didn't stop it

And I would be lying if I said I didn't like it

My mind is jumbled

Grayson, the first person I connected to. He loves me and I love him. He protects me and makes me feel safe. He makes me feel like I could be normal

But Ethan, he makes me feel different...like exiting. He makes me feel...different. A feeling I've never felt before

I know if I choose I'll lose one of them

I can't love them both

Grayson's POV

I walk into the dining room to see Ethan sitting there

"You ok?" I ask "yeah im fine"

I shrug and walk away to make my way to the kitchen. I began to open the fridge when I hear him say 3 simple words that crushed me

"I kissed her"

Ethan's POV

"I kissed her" he stopped what he was doing

He laughs a bit

"What's so funny?" "Just the fact that you had to tell me. You see it, it doesn't bother me because I've realized, at the end of the day, it will always be me" "and how long have you been waiting to say that? Jealous?" "Of what? Let's be honest here, who would pick a murderous, selfish, boy with anger issues when there's me?"

I look at him then we both strike for each other at the same time

We have our hands at each other's necks fighting like bulls

We pull of each other when we hear a "STOP" from the door

We turn to see Isabella looking at both of us "I can't do this. I'm sorry"

She walks out and Grayson goes after her

After they both stormed off, I couldn't stop myself from thinking that...

She was wearing the necklace

Isabella's POV

I walk away and Grayson comes running next to me "Wait. What do you mean you can't do this?" "I can't do this, I can't be with you if I don't know how I feel"

"How you feel about what?" "Everything. You, Ethan, our lives. I just need some space" "from us?" "I'm sorry"

I walk home trying to collect my thoughts when suddenly I fall on the road

I wake up and see a girl in front of me and a man behind me

"You must be Isabella. I'm Melissa"

Olivia's POV

Brie and I were walking to the grill when Brie got a call from Grayson

"Hey what's up. Yeah. What? Yeah I'll be right over"

"What happened?" Brie asked me. "Isabella and Grayson broke up"

"What?" "Yeah. He called to talk about it"

We made our way to Grayson's house

"I just don't understand why" "me neither. I mean they're perfect for each other why would they" she tripped over something on the concrete

"You ok?" I asked "yeah" she said looking for what she tripped over

She picked up a phone

"Isn't this Isabella's phone?"

She pressed the home button to see a picture of Isabella and Grayson and a fair, making it clear that it was

We run over to Grayson house and see Ethan and Grayson, confused why we barged in

We explained what happened and they both looked worried

We sent up candles and I did a locator spell
"Oh no"

"What? Where is she?" "She's with Melissa and Michael"

Isabella's POV

"What do you want?"

"I need to find Alex" "who?" "Your brother"

I felt my mind struggle to remember. "What why?" "Nevermind that now I know he's in your mind some where and we are gonna find him"

The man puts his two finger at my temples and I start to scream in pain

Olivia's POV

We all get there and we see Michael outside

"Where is she?" "Where's who?" "Isabella we know she's in there" "I don't have her" "well your sister probably does" "why would she have her?" "How are we supposed to know?" He walks over to me "if you wanna get in you're gonna have to get through me"

I thought really hard and managed the snap his neck with my mind "impressive" Ethan says

We run and hear the sounds of screaming

When we get to the scene the witches on her side pushed us away and made us stand still

"Let her go" "Not until I get what I need. NOT until we find Alex"

"Melissa I can't find anything important. If I go any deeper it could damage her head"

We look at Isabella who's head is now slopping on her side, clearly weak and tired

"Do it"

He goes back in and she starts screaming again

It feels like it could go on forever

"New Jersey" he says and lets go of her head "he's in New Jersey" "he's alive?" He nods to her

Once they let us go Isabella was unconscious and we brought her to her house

When she began to wake up we all looked at her "hey you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine" she says. She still looks pretty out of it

Brie hugs her and she looks pretty uncomfortable

"Oh I'm sorry did that hurt" "no it's just that uh. Who are you?"
