As I was busy checking the time my phone started to explored with non ending messages from a group I used to going when I was still a student. The group has been quite till today. I opened to check the messages. They were a lot of them so I just passed them and what caught my eyes was a picture of Ethan and Isabella balancing a card with their lips looking into each other's eyes. At this point my heart shattered into thousand pieces. The pain hit so freaking much. And without my knowledge my tears started to flow uncontrollably and I just left and went to my room. And just cried myself to sleep.
Around 3am Ethan come home drunk and smelling like he just took a shower with alcohol. He walked to our room and hugged me warmly. I didn't push him nor turn to face him, I just pretended to be asleep. He snuggled until his face was on my neck. His warm breathe tickling me.
"I missed you Emily" he whispered softly and slept.
I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach and that's what gave me hope. It shows he still remembers me. I couldn't help but blush until I slept, at this point I even forgot about Isabella being back from abroad.
I KNOW YOU ALL THINK I MUST BE CRAZY OR SOMETHING EVEN AFTER KNOWING THAT THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE IS BACK I STILL GIVE HIM MY ATTENTION.
When I woke up in the morning I heard a noise of two people talking and laughing. One of the voice I recognized as Ethan's voice but the other, I couldn't get it. Whe I got downstairs I saw a woman figure. My feet froze before I could take a step on the last stairs.
"I still can't believe you remember my favorite peanut cake" she said eating the cake while Ethan smiled at her.
At this point I didn't want to see her face to know who was because according to the warmth of Ethan it means she could be...ISABELLA.
I guess they didn't notice me coming downstairs because they were still acting lovingly. I cleared my throat and they both turned to face me at the same time. Ethan smile disappeared when he saw my face. I looked at the table only to see so much nice dishes prepared by none other. Yeah Ethan knows how to cook for Isa.
5 years back when I was sick and had high fever he didn't even cook me a nourishing soup. But here he us cooking for his white moonlight. This gentleness side of his made me realize that no one can replace his first love.
"Long time no see Emily" she stood up with peace of cake to give me. AS she stood inches away from me she leaned in and whispered with a smirk on her face
"Am back to take what's mine Emily" after saying that she smiled and tried to feed me a cake. That's when I made my move to push her hand before the cake can reach me.
"AHH!" she shouted in a baby voice. enough to get Ethan's attention. And it worked because Ethan came rushing to where we were standing. Isa looked down at the cake she just dropped and that made Ethan to also look at it while protecting Isa. I just stood there lost of words, I watched every move he took just to shelter Isabella.
"I just wanted to feed her some cake because is been years since I saw her. But she just pushed me away and destroyed the cake" Isa said with fake tears and before I could defend myself Ethan shoved me away so hard to a point that I lost balance. I stambled till I hit a table and sprinkled my ankle.
"WHY ARE YOU SO RUDE... ISABELLA IS JUST TRYING TO NICE TO YOU. THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS ACCEPT THE CAKE NOT TO WASTE IT" Ethan shouted at me. He wanted me to eat the cake that I was allergic to.
I MEAN WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 5 YEARS AND HE STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT I PREFER AND WHAT I DON'T WHILE I KNOW EVERYTHING HE LIKES.
The pain on my ankle was nothing compared to the pain I felt in my heart. The worse part is that he didn't feel guilty he just left me there and took care of his first love. This opened my eyes and woke me up from my fairytale life and brought me to reality. I stood up and stumbled to my room and applied an oilmant on my leg.
AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO LET GO OF THIS ONE SIDED LOVE. I KNOW IT'S HARD TO LET GO OF THE PERSON YOU LOVE BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY 'WHAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU IT IS NEVER YOURS' ANYWAY BACK TO THE STORY...
Days past Ethan not coming home nor checking on me and I also stopped
