ETHANI still can’t believe I heard her say those words three days ago. Even in an I don’t know capacity they damn near wrecked me. It was like having someone reach inside and scoop me out. And now my innards are sitting somewhere on the sidelines watching hollow me walk around. I love that girl. I really fucking love her more than anything else that I can think of, including myself. How have we come to this?I’ve been seeing her in class all week. I saw her yesterday for Meyer’s midterm speech. And I’ve been seeing her around campus, but every day I'm not with her hurts more. She’s last to enter Nelson’s lecture hall for the test, probably due to the obvious difficulties of having to get around on her own. Still, black eye, busted lip, a sling, bandage, and a few bruised ribs, my girl looks fucking amazing. Nothing over the top. But pulling a tubed dress on was probably the easiest fix when it came to her getting ready. The fact that it’s her favorite color—yellow—just makes me notic

ETHANA row of shots. They’re all lined up in front of me, each one with the potential to drown out this depressing fucking feeling inside. I lost her. How could it be that six months ago, she wasn’t really on my radar?Lies.I’ve noticed Piper since day one. And she was more than on my radar. I just wanted to keep my distance. I stupidly thought I had to, when in reality I could’ve gone after her that very first day. But when my will finally snapped, I made up for the lost time. I thought it could be enough. The way I wanted her. All the ways I fucking love her. And I thought if I just showed up and put in the effort, we would be alright. Actually, I never expected her to leave me, which sounds kind of cocky when I think about it. Sort of like saying she wouldn’t dare. That I never fathomed such a situation. I didn’t, but I thought I was doing everything I could to keep her too.One shot down. Five to go. And still I feel no better. The women out there coming onto me, didn’t make me

ETHAN“I don’t care where we go,” Sabrina says. “As long as there’s drinks, sun, and a reason to wear a bikini the entire time.”“Amen to that,” Jordan says slapping her on the ass.I laugh, lacing my fingers with Piper’s as we sit at a picnic table. “Where do you want to go?”She shrugs. “I kind of like Sabrina’s way of thinking.”“Hell yeah,” Jordan says, making me laugh again.“Fine. Everyone is going to Florida,” I say.“We live like thirty minutes from a beach. And I think the flight to Hawaii is closer,” Sabrina replies. “It depends on how wild we plan to get.”“Not too wild,” Piper says, motioning to her arm. She’s still in the sling through spring break. Luckily, she only suffered a dislocated shoulder and a bruised humerus. But she sprained her hand.“Oh sure, go easy now that it’s party time. I don’t think you were complaining when you spent the night on the end of Ethan’s dick,” Sabrina pouts.“Sabrina!”“What? We all know that’s what happened. That’s why you two keep makin

ETHANI’m not letting Ashton off the hook that easy. So, Piper’s family has money. And he was wrong. He should apologize to her. If that look in Piper’s eye has anything to do with it, he needs to come clean about whatever he said that sent her running the night of the party and apologize for that too. And I won’t take no for an answer. The kitchen is busy with women working on dessert. The same ones I've known to cook for special occasions since I was probably in diapers. They wave to me and I say hello, with as much of a smile as I can muster while looking for my shitty ass big brother. He isn’t down the hall, in the sitting room, or in any of the downstairs bathrooms. I think that maybe he might be upstairs in his old bedroom, until I come across the den at the foot of the stairs with the door cracked open.“You lied," my brother fumes. “She’s not after his money… Because I know. What else did you lie about?”“Were the two of you even dating?”“Where is the proof that she upload

ETHANOur first week in the new place goes by fast. Mostly because we spent the week at the beach and hanging with our friends. Then there was a lot of moving stuff to get done, and things to pick out. What’s the saying about time flying? Yeah. That. Most of the furniture has already been delivered, and we’ve unpacked a majority of our boxes. The way I see it, we’re entitled to a break. I drop onto the couch and turn on the TV. The cable and internet didn’t take long to get set up either, which is good, since we’re relying on having wifi for class anyway.“Must be nice,” Piper says from the kitchen. She’s standing at the stove stirring a pot of pasta sauce.“You don’t want my help in there,” I say.“It’d be nice if you offered,” she replies, with her nose in the cookbook.“Okay. Do you want some help?”“Why yes,” she says. “That would be lovely.”With a small chuckle, I rise from my seat and go over to her. Without her sling, it seems like she moves twice as fast.
