emma's pov

i searched through my phone for ethan's contact, finally finding it and pressing on the call button, raising it up to my ear.

almost immediately he answered, "emma?"

"yeah hi." i said, i didn't know exactly why i had to call him but i did know he was upset i kissed his friend, but it was just a game.

"what do you want?" he asked in an angry tone, what the fuck?

"are you serious? why are you mad at me?" i didn't think it was actually a big deal. i thought he would put on some big boy pants and get over himself.

we aren't together! i didn't cheat on him.

he huffed, "you fucking had the nerve to kiss someone in front of me? what did you think my reaction was gonna be?" his voice became louder, why was he this pressed?! he's gonna get a noise complaint real soon.

why was he so jealous?

"what the fuck do you want me to do about it now e?" i felt my talking also become louder as the sentence rambled on, i needed to chill!

he didn't respond. well was he just gonna keep me on the phone to breathe?

"it's okay." he seemed to had calm down, but there was something about the way he said it. it was like he was just sad and disappointed, i started to feel bad but at the same time, what could i do?

"okay bye." i said hanging up my phone and walking back into the restaurant.

"what the fuck do you want me to do about it now e?"

i made her angry.

i didn't mean to, at all. that's the last thing i want.

i just gave up.

"it's okay."

she still seemed angry, but shouldn't i be the one who was angry?

my heart just stung, i didn't want to mess anything up with her i was just upset.

maybe i overreacted?

i got lost into my thoughts as aaron stormed into my room, the last person i wanted to see.

he sat down at my gaming chair and moved it to face my bed where i was laying down. "what?" i questioned him, he just looked confused as hell.

"well i'm here to hang out with you guys, but you're both in pissy ass moods." i rolled my eyes and sat up against my headboard.

"alright? don't kiss other guys girls and i wouldn't be pissy." his eyes widened.

"she's not yours."

i guess she wasn't.

but she most definitely wasn't open to him if that's what he's gonna try.

"she's not yours either."

his right eyebrow raised and a smirk appeared on his face, "is that a challenge?"

fuck no?

"get out aaron."

he left my room and i'm pretty sure he left the house as well because i heard a large slam soon after he closed my door.

i threw my head into my hand. i'm not in the mood to have to fight for a girl i don't have.

i looked at my phone, it was six thirty pm. i guess i had fallen asleep after aaron left?

i checked my social media's and saw emma posted a picture with aaron.

why the fuck were they hanging out?

i left my room and went to see grayson before realizing he wasn't here.

were they all just hanging out without me?

i got into my car and drove over to emma's apartment, still wondering to myself how ethan could ever let aaron just hang out with emma alone.

ethans pov (back to 6:30)

i texted grayson, i knew aaron would pull moves on her.

and if that happened my heart would shatter.

my phone rang and grayson picked up,

"yes ethan?"

"where you at?"

"emma's?"

"why?"

"um you were invited but you said no remember that?"

"no i wasn't."

"yes you were aaron said you said you didn't wanna come."

"i was asleep, aaron and i got into a fight earlier he probably just didn't want me to get in the way between him and emma."

"what do you mean him and emma?"

"he wants her."

i heard grayson sigh, almost like he knew it was going to happen.

"nothing has happened while i've been here, but they were here alone before i came. i don't know for how long though."

my stomach sunk down like i was on a rollercoaster.

why would emma even want to hang out with him after we talked? does she have interest him or something? is she done with me?

"i'm coming over."

"alright man peace."

"peace."

i drove over to emma's apartment and knocked on her door, grayson was quick to open it. emma looked surprised, she was sitting next to aaron on the couch, a little too close to each other for my liking.

-

we were watching a movie when emma randomly tapped on my shoulder, i looked behind me to see her sitting on the couch waiting for me.

"walk with me."

i nodded and stood up from the ground, we walked out her front door, i stuck a tongue out at aaron as i closed her door, he just rolled his eyes.

we were walking for a bit before she finally said something to break the silence between us.

"why were you so angry? you know i like you right?" she confessed, stopping and looking at me.

i nodded, "he likes you."

she looked down at the sidewalk, "i can tell i guess."

then suddenly something inside of me just switched, i pinned her up to a tree that was close behind her. my hand grasping her petite thigh. my lips heading towards her lips, but then swerving towards her ears.

"aaron has nothing on me."
