Arabella's POVI watch as Ethan walks out of the room angrily and out the door slamming it.

What happened?

Grayson comes out with a guilty look on his face and it was obvious they were arguing .

"What happened??" I asked him

"We just got into an argument" he said

"Is he okay? He seems pretty upset" I said "Maybe we should go find him.." Grayson said slowly and I nodded

We walked out of the apartment and look around the hallway before going to the parking garage.

We split up.

"You go towards the entrance" Gray says and I nod.

I have to admit. Even though Ethan really hurt me.. I still care about him and worry about him.

But I don't think I like him anymore.. I kind of used to have a big crush on Ethan.

I look around outside and I see him walking down the road,

I run to catch up to him and once I am beside him he looks over at me.

"What?" He asked

"You okay?" I asked and he shrugged looking off to the distance.

"Come back in E" I said grabbing his wrist, trying to get him to stop walking.

He shook his head no.

"Just go back to Grayson" he said pulling his arm away.

"Why?" I asked "Because you two have missed eachother. It's obvious you should hang out now and it's also obvious neither of you want me to be there when you do" he said

"No you can come back we don't mind" I said standing in front of him.

He steps forwards acting all tough and I raised one of my eyebrows.

"Move" he said as he tried to walk around me but every time he took a step to the side I did the same.

"Ethan. Stop" I said and he stepped closer to me angrily.

"Don't test me Arabella. move" he said and I crossed my arms over my chest.

"I'm not scared of You Ethan. what are you going to do? hit me?" I asked, even though I was in fact scared.He could hit me.I watched him carefully as he move both of his hands from their relaxed positions and he put them on my waist, picking me up and moving me.

He set me back down before starting to walk away again.

"Ethan Dolan stop" I said loudly as I got back in front of him, pushing him backwards.

He grabbed my arms putting them to my sides seeming unfazed by my actions.

I bring them back up and start pushing him harder and hitting his chest as I remembered how bad it hurt to leave without a good bye from him and how he wouldn't talk to me before I left and how I waited for him to call me. And I didnt even care if he would have apologized or not I just wanted him to be my friend again.I see his eyes widen and I hit his chest harder and he grabs my hands again as I start sobbing.

"Why did you do that Ethan?!?" I asked crying hysterically and his eyes softened.

"Don't cry. Stop crying. Bella please stop crying" he said releasing my arms and continuously wiping my tears but there was no use. Everything I had held in is now coming out.

"Answer me Ethan" I said angrily as I hit his chest again."I-I don't know okay I am stupid" he said Taking a step back.

"You hurt me. SO bad. You were my best friend and you couldn't come say goodbye to me? you couldn't apologize for over reacting, you couldn't have sent me a text just saying hey. You couldn't have took 5 seconds out of your day to Wave at me out the window before I left. nothing. I got Nothing from you Ethan Dolan. Nothing but silence." I said

"I know I just. Didn't want you to go" he said

"Yeah well you could have texted me after I left." I said

"It wasn't the same. I know I overreacted okay. But I didn't want it to be real. I used to like you Bella. And when you said you were moving it was like everything snapped inside of me. I didn't want you to know that and so I snapped too and went off. And I was embarrassed. And I was going to say goodbye but I was too late" he said looking down."Of course you were" I said scoffing

"All I wanted was a goodbye" I said "Okay well I didn't. Saying goodbye would have been so hard for me to do. You were my best friend for so long and I didn't want to say goodbye to you. And I knew you were going to be mad if I had texted you, because I never said goodbye" he said "No actually. I wouldn't have been mad if you texted me. Because I spent two out of the three years I have been here, missing you and Gray. And wondering why you got so angry about me not telling you sooner, and all this other shit. But this last year. I have spent hating you." I said and I could see so much hurt in his eyes.

"Go back to Grayson if you want I'm going home" I said not in the mood to hang out anymore.

I start to walk away when he grabs my arm.

"No stop don't go" He said and I shook my head."Just stop Ethan" I said calmly and pulled my arm away and walked back to my car

I get in and turn on m car driving away.
