ethan's pov
i woke up and saw 3 missed calls from alex. i picked my phone up and rang his number.
"DUDEEE!!!" alex screamed.
"what is it bro??" i asked, i really want to know what this is about.
"THE GIRL I LIKE" he said
"yeaaaah??"
"IS MY GIRLFRIEND"
"i'm so happy for you bro! what's her name?" i asked. what a good guy. he deserves it
"desi."
no. not that desi please.
"desiii, Desi Stone?"
"Yes! Desi Stone!"
no.
i hanged up on him.
desi
is
with
alex.
i went to graysons room because i need advice.
"grayson" i said.
"yep?" he asked, confused.
"i need your help". he closed his phone and signaled me to stay beside him.
"what's it about?"
"desi."
"what about her? DO YOU NEED TIPS SO YOU COULD BE HER BOYFRIEND-" grayson had a smile on his face.
"no grayson. desi, desi's in a relationship with alex."
"no way" grayson looked shocked. i stayed silent and just thought to myself.
"i love her, but she's not mine"
trust me, it was hard to say those words aloud.
"ethan, i don't know what to do" grayson said.
"me neither"
"but thank you a lot, gray" i placed a weak smile and left his room.
i went to my room and called stassie.
"stassie," i said softly.
"yep?" she asked.
"alex, alex is desi's boyrfriend"
"holy shit ethan" stassie says to me.
"i know" i said.
"talk to her."
"why?"
"just do it. you'll never know what could happen."
"you're right. thanks stass" i smile through the phone.
"always." she sasses.
"bye" i said and hanged up on her.
i left the house and went to the mall. i hoped she was there in the mall. i didn't feel like she was in her house.
~
i went to Musica, like the first time we met. i'll be forever grateful for that moment.
then as i was about to leave, i saw desi.
"desi!" i shouted, and gained her attention.
"hi ethan!" she saw me and walked my way.
"so, how is it going with you and alex?" i asked.
"so far, he's been treating me good, he's very sweet and real"
"desi can i tell you something?"
"what is it?"
"i- i like you. a lot"
"ethan," she looked down. "let's go to my house and discuss everything okay?" she rubs my hand.
"okay." i said.
~ -desi's room-
"ethan, i have to tell you something too"
"what is it?" i asked. this is going to be bad.
"i liked you too before" she said.
"im so fucking stupid." i hit my head with my hands and kept touching my hair. she looks at me and removes my hands from my hair to her hands. i swear she's the only one who calms me down.
"but you have a girlfriend, ethan." she says while rubbing my hands.
"no, i don't desi." i moderately yelled.
"then who was the person who you called when i was drunk? who was the person you had another starbucks drink for? who-"
"desi, that was grayson" i cut her off.
"oh my fucking gosh, i'm the one now who's stupid" she laughed weakly.
"it's too late now desi." i kiss her forehead and leave her room.
i hear faint sounds of her crying. i tried to resist, but i can't help it. i raced to her room. she turns around, away from her pillow and looks looks at me.
"what do you want ethan" i can barely hear her from her sobbing. i sat down on her bed and placed her head on my lap.
"shh it's okay desi, i'm here" i tried to calm her down.
"ethan, this isn't right. leave before something happens" she removed her head on my lap.
i exit her room. the pain really hurts. especially when you lost someone you care about.
