(:-:)
I still live on the abandoned railroad with no one by my side.
I don't know if Ethan's still married, but at least I know who he's married to.
Emma.
She's pretty and has money. Unlike me.
I tried. I really did. I spent everything on Ethan and now I have nothing.
Ethan was worth it.
It has been a few months since they got married. If Ethan is happy, I'm happy. I have to be. For Ethan.
I got up with a slump and started walking towards down town LA where Ethan lives. I saw many people walking with their friends and taking pictures. Couples holding hands and smiling. People going in and out of stores will do many bags in their hands.
How did I end up here?
In a place full of wealth, yet here I am with not a penny in my pocket.
I sat on a park bench and watched the ground as I thought.
He treated me wrong, but I still love him.
How is that possible?
"Y/n?" A voice called out.
I look up and see Grayson. Ethans twin. He knew me because he opened the door one time when I first met Ethan. Grayson's nice.
I waved my hand and felt my eyes get blurry from the tears about to pop. I blinked them away and looked back down.
"What are you doing here?" Grayson asked crouching down meeting my eye level with the ground.
I shrugged and met his eyes which looked exactly like Ethan's. Grayson stared at me for a while.
"You look awful." Grayson ran his hands through my cheeks wiping away anything that was on them.
"Does Ethan still like nice things?" I asked.
Grayson furrowed his eyebrows. "I Uh I guess."
I slightly smiled and then it dropped. Maybe Ethan still remembers me.
"Does he like flowers?" I asked.
Grayson nodded.
"Then why didn't he accept mine?" I felt tears going down my face.
Grayson held a confused face before filling it with sympathy and pulling me into a bear hug.
"I got him nice things and he didn't like them, I tried." I cried into his shoulder and he softly rubbed my back.
"Nice things?" Great son asked and pulled away.
"Y-Yea a car, necklace, rings. I wanted him to love me the way I love him." I struggled to get out and wiped my tears away.
Grayson sighed and looked at me with sympathy.
"Go to him." Grayson finally let out.
I looked up at him. "What?"
"Go to him, he isn't happy with Emma, I can tell. Just go to him." Grayson explained.
Should I go?
Ethans worth it.
I ran towards Ethan's house thinking of what I might say. Should I really say anything?
Grayson said to go to him.
Am I going to make him feel better?
I knocked on his door with again a big smile hoping it will make him smile.
Ethan opened the door.
He looked unhealthy.
Pale, eyes dull, bags under his eyes. Who did this to Ethan?
"Are you ok?" I asked him.
ETHANS POV
"Are you ok?" Y/n asked full of worry.
What a great question.
I barely know Emma is these days. She always bought me expensive things that I didn't even need when we had fights. The days where we just forgot about all the fights wishing we had talked about them. I did want it to work out but it never did.
And y/n.
I couldn't see it. But I love her.
I knew she was poor and couldn't even afford a simple burger. Yet she bought me things people like her couldn't get just to get my attention. I literally laughed in her face when she was heartbroken but managed to keep a smile on her face. I saw her face when Emma and I got married, she was sad. I saw clearly but I didn't care.
Y/n kept on getting me expensive stuff, and when I was driving around town I saw her sleeping on the railroad and I used to wonder what happened to her apartment. When I got to the conclusion that she spent all her money on me and not her rent.
It's not about the money.
It's about the love.
I was too stupid to see it. I'll say it again, I love y/n.
I pulled her into a tight hug catching her by surprise but soon enough wrap her arms around me. She rubbed my back and said 'it's ok' or 'your fine'. I haven't had someone say or do this to me in a long time. I missed this. No one else could make me feel this safe and loved.
Except for y/n.
I let a tear slip and landed on her black sweatshirt.
I remember the first day I saw y/n.
:/;
I was going for a walk to clear my mind when I heard running behind me. I turned around and saw a girl running from something. Someone. It was Grayson. I haven't talked to him in a while. It looked like they were playing around with smiles on their faces. Grown ass people playing tag.
Soon enough the girl didn't see where she was going and bumped right into me making her fall back.
"I'm sorry sir. I wasn't looking." The girl said and I saw a scratch on her elbow.
Sir?
I looked at my outfit and saw I was still in my suit from work. I scan her again and saw that she wore black pants and a black shirt with run down converse.
Poor. Is what I immediately thought at that moment.
I can't be seen with poor people.
I rolled my eyes at her and said a rude remark and spit on her. I walked away not looking back at her.
:/:;
I was mean to her even back then.
I regret it.
I was rude when she was nothing but nice to me. Getting me expensive things.
"I'm so sorry." I pulled away full on crying now.
"It's ok." Y/n smiled and wiped my tears away.
She knew what I was talking about.
"No it's not. I treated you so bad but you treated me so nice. I regret it I really do. I'm sorry" I said again and grabbed onto her hands which were now cupping my cheeks.
Y/n looked at me for a while "it's ok."
That's all I needed to hear.
She forgives me.
I pulled her in and smashed my lips onto hers making a million things ignite in my body.
God she is the one.
I'm in love with you.
