Chapter 19 - A Pain In My Chest

Aden ghosted me, how am I supposed to react?! Nobody nows that we are...were friends and I don't want anyone to know. Everything is driving me crazy.

After that little incident I've been having drastic mood swings that I just can't understand. I can't be near him anymore but I can't get him out of my mind. He is all I can see all, I can think of...WHY!? before I realise I see Ethan in my room trying to calm me down. Am I crying again. What's wrong with me? The tears come flooding as soon as I start thinking about him...Aden...why...was I not good enough, was I too annoying to be around? Why did you leave when I needed you. I tied holding back the tears but I only made it worse. Ethan suggest that I should take a shower (definitely not a bath or I may drown myself in my sorrow) so I go. I'm afraid he may tell his mother about this. It's not that bad right?  I don't need help, I don't need parents involved in this.

After a long shower and a cup of hot coca I tell Ethan everything about Aden and me. How he helped me get through everything that went on at school. "Do you like him?" Ethan asks with a disturbed look on his face "umm...no...at least I don't think so." I said in a panic, what if I do. He looks worried "why " I asked while turning red, trying to hide my pinkish face. "You seem way too close to a guy you just met let alone one who is popular" as Ethan said this, I was shocked, he didn't tell me that he was popular " can have anything his wishes and doesn't need anything from the likes of you" he continued trying to sound as loving and sorry as possible. He really wasn't helping me out here but I was greatful that I had someone to talk to and be near.

I'm always here for you princess, you should be able to tell me anything and everything." He said with a soft, gentle but sad smile. I nodded and pulled him in. My head buried in his chest, hands around his waist. He was stroking my hair gently whither his other arm around my waist trying to hug me for comfort. We stayed like that for so long I lost track of time. I missed all our late night talks and all of this. I had completely forgotten what we shared just because a boy(Aden) messed with my emotions and made me feel unwanted. I wish Ethan and i could stay like this for as long as possible. Forever...but was it always going to be like this? We would grow up and he is Ethan normally leaves me for a girl. I don't want to be the one to ruin what we have built on a boy who doesn't seem to care for me anymore
