02:33them
02:33again oh my god they grew up together and he feels absolutely nothing a basic girl obsessing over the
02:40golden boy she is so delusional I've been hearing this crap for three years I couldn't hide my
02:47feelings the whole school knew I liked him but Ethan he always kept his distance at school he pretended I
02:57didn't even exist whenever people made jokes about us he didn't even bat an eye off campus he'd hold my
03:03hand walking me home but in the alley he'd pin me to the wall and kiss me when I was
03:09upset he'd pull
03:10me in and soothe me Mia Carter likes Ethan Shaw that was the school's favorite joke Ethan Shaw is Mia
03:17Carter's boyfriend that was my secret as the room laughed I started taking shots one after another my
03:29phone buzzed again Ethan you can't hold your liquor stop drinking cut it out I looked right at him he
03:36stood there taking Harper's shots one arm wrapped around her the whole time his feelings for her he
03:42wasn't hiding them anymore the party wrapped up around 1 a.m. it was pouring rain outside right in
03:50front of everyone Ethan offered to walk Harper home he ripped my umbrella right out of my hand Mia
03:56neither of us brought an umbrella we're gonna take this one you can just get a ride from someone
04:01else be safe Mia I'll give it back tomorrow Ethan pulled her away don't let it go to your head
04:07Harper
04:07it's a fake date two months and we're done fine by me I seriously can't stand you anyway they kept
04:13bickering as they walked into the rain disappearing into the dark but I noticed something Ethan tilted the
04:19entire umbrella over Harper his own shoulder was getting completely soaked everyone else cleared
04:25out one by one not a single person asked how I was getting home I stood there as rain mixed
04:32with my
04:32tears Ethan knew I didn't have any other friends in that group he knew nobody was going to offer me
04:38a ride
04:39he took my umbrella left me stranded we swore we'd go public after graduation instead I got dumped and he
04:48ended up with someone else my phone rang it was my mom calling from Paris Mia if you really want
04:53to
04:53you can stay in the States for college we trust Ethan if you two are together your dad and I
04:59won't
04:59stop you I squeezed my eyes shut mom I've made up my mind you can start the paperwork for me
05:04to study
05:05abroad I got home soaked to the bone my phone buzzed Ethan never posted on social media but he just
05:13uploaded a picture captioned meet my girlfriend at Harper Wells in the photo his arm was wrapped
05:19around her he was smiling like he had the whole world Harper had her arms crossed glaring at him
05:25fierce but adorable the comments were blowing up called it three years ago enemies to lover is real
05:32Ethan went public so fast his childhood biddy must be sobbing right now why would she cry besides daddy's
05:40money what does she even have further down someone dug up an awful picture of me from last year's track
05:46meet they turned it into a meme I locked my screen collapsed onto the couch not good enough that phrase
05:53had haunted me since the day I met Ethan he was the golden boy the best at everything I was
05:59ordinary
05:59practically invisible at school he never came near me but whenever someone messed with me he was the
06:05first to show up once he fought a whole group of guys to protect me he almost got suspended after
06:14that we started dating in secret I actually thought I was special to him senior year Harper
06:24transferred in gorgeous and smart she instantly took his spot at the top he wasn't having it he
06:33started picking fights with her fighting over grades over competitions the loser had to do what the winner
06:42said the whole school shifted Ethan always complained loudly about it I had never seen him like that later I
06:53figured it out that's what a teenage boy looks like when he really likes someone
06:57picking fights was just to get her attention when she gave a speech his eyes never left her when she
07:06had cramps he secretly brought her painkillers and chocolate when she failed a test he pushed her to
07:12to study harder I was truly scared after our first midterms Harper's rank dropped way down Ethan got first place
07:23but he didn't brag this time
07:27he cancelled our dates spent all his free time tutoring Harper for months before finals I barely saw him I
07:35begged him to let me tag along Ethan patted my head
07:38Mia you can't keep up just study at home we'll go public after graduation you can't keep up he drew
07:44a hard line right between us but the words go public kept me waiting like a fool nothing else mattered
07:51as long as he came back to me
07:53but today it hit me the kids at school weren't the only ones looking down on me Ethan was one
08:01of them
08:03I cried myself to sleep on the couch when I woke up the rain had stopped the doorbell rang I
08:09opened it Ethan stood there his tone impatient I deleted those nasty comments that post was fake my mom asked
08:15you to come over for dinner let's go
08:18Mia can you believe it this kid has been hiding his girlfriend for this long thanks for the umbrella Ethan
08:24left in such a hurry last night he forgot to return it to
08:26you you two are absolutely perfect together my son should be with a girl this outstanding
08:32oh please don't say that my hand froze on my fork I applied to Columbia University
08:37what about you Harper Columbia no way I'm losing to you Mia where did you apply Mia's grades are average
08:45Columbia might be a stretch but she can pick a safety school in the same city before we broke up
08:51that was exactly my plan
08:53but not anymore I'll think about it later Ethan's face darkened my phone buzzed under the table
08:59I didn't text back after dinner Linda gave Ethan some cash Harper called out to me come along we're all
09:07friends here
09:07you coming you guys go ahead I'm not feeling very well he looked relieved grabbed Harper's hand and walked out
09:15maybe I had lost this game before it even started I got home and crashed woke up to non-stop
09:23buzzing
09:24Ethan and Harper both posted pictures from the amusement park the comment section was flooded with hearts
09:30then he posted something else suddenly I don't want this to end I wasn't even surprised
09:36I knew it before he did next morning Ethan showed up at my door brought over soup and meds
09:45you're still sick take your medicine I'm fine he stuck his foot in the door
09:50how long are you gonna keep this up we're already broken up go find Harper Harper and I are just
09:56pretending

10:04you say you want me but you posted never let go about her
10:08that post you saw it
10:13yeah I saw it
10:15the umbrella always tilted toward her
10:18you threw that exam so she could take first
10:21if you want her so bad why did you even bother with me
10:28confirmation email my one way ticket to Paris was booked
10:34Ethan stopped coming by after that
10:36he and Harper went everywhere
10:38posting pictures everyday
10:40I stayed home
10:41prepping for my AP's and my French proficiency exam
10:44admissions results came out
10:46Ethan was valedictorian
10:47Harper was salutatorian
10:49both got into Columbia
10:51I overachieved
10:52broke into the top 10
10:54my counselor pushed me to take a full ride to a top 20 school down south
10:58drop the attitude
10:59we're going to New York together
11:00I'll handle your enrollment
11:03we're done
11:04where I go to college is none of your business
11:09a few days later I got two acceptance letters
11:12one from Paris
11:13the other from a no-name safety school in New York
11:16Ethan had logged into my student portal
11:19he changed my enrollment
11:20I called him
11:21he picked up on the first ring
11:24I didn't want us to be too far apart
11:25it's still a college degree
11:27he knew that school was a joke next to the offers I'd earned
11:30he did it anyway
11:31is my entire future just a joke to you?
11:35Mia your grades were a fluke
11:37you've always been average
11:38that school is fine
11:40once we're married I'll provide for you
11:44one sentence
11:45that's all it took to erase everything I worked for
11:49I studied myself to the bone just to be worthy of him
11:52I clawed my way from the bottom to the top 10
11:54Ethan only ever looked at the top 5
11:57to him I was still just average
12:00you're a psycho
12:00I hung up
12:02called admissions to report the tampering
12:05then finalized everything for Paris
12:11last day of school
12:12Mia Carter is such a loser
12:15turned down a full ride for a trash school just to chase a guy
12:19someone had covered it in red sharpie
12:21slut
12:22homewrecker
12:23desperate
12:23the whole class was laughing hysterically
12:26Ethan and Harper walked in
12:28they froze when they saw my desk
12:30who did this?

12:33it was the first time he ever lost his cool in public

12:48all the rumors would die right there
12:50like her?
12:51not a chance
12:52I have a girlfriend
12:54stop making things up
12:55the class erupted again
12:57I ran out in tears
12:59the sharp laughter echoed behind me
13:01my phone buzzed
13:03text from Ethan
13:04every time he played it cool
13:05he was twisting a knife in my chest
13:09the day I left for Paris
13:11Ethan found me
13:12where are you going?
13:13school
13:14his eyes lit up
13:16he immediately grabbed my suitcase
13:18your school starts this early?

13:22toss them in his trunk before I could even object
13:27drop the attitude

13:34I'll come see you in a few days
13:36after security
13:37I didn't head for the domestic terminal
13:40I turned and walked toward international departures
13:43I pulled out my phone
13:45text from Ethan
13:46I stared at it for two seconds
13:48then I blocked his number
13:50goodbye Ethan
13:51we're done
13:54right before takeoff
13:55a link popped up in the class group chat
13:59someone was on Instagram live
14:02Harper's birthday party

14:16I've had feelings for you ever since our first fight
14:17I thought about that night
14:20the night I told Ethan how I felt
14:24I... I like you
14:26then I ran
14:28he caught up to me
14:29eyes burning
14:30I like you too Maya
14:33he kissed my forehead
14:34we're going to be together forever
14:36back then I really thought forever meant something
14:41now boarding flight to Paris
14:45I hope you'll be happy
14:47I turned off my phone
14:49that wish wasn't for them
14:52it was for me
14:55I didn't find out what happened at the party until much later
14:59the room went completely quiet
15:01everyone was waiting for Ethan's answer
15:03Harper looked up at him
15:04her cheeks burning
15:05she let go of all her pride
15:07Ethan said nothing
15:08the silence dragged on
15:10Harper I'm sorry
15:11the fake dating ends here
15:13let's call it off early
15:15everyone froze
15:16a tear slipped down her face
15:18why?
15:19I can't say yes to you
15:22did you ever even like me?
15:24Ethan looked down
15:24no response
15:26Harper's expression shifted
15:29is it because of Mia Carter?
15:31at the sound of my name
15:33I knew it
15:36you love her don't you?
15:37the entire room held its breath
15:38Ethan clenched his fists
15:40both hands were shaking
15:41he wanted to deny it
15:43but this time
15:44he couldn't get the words out
15:46I love her
15:47I love Mia Carter
15:50I always have
15:52I was attracted to you sure
15:54but Mia
15:55she became part of my life a long time ago
15:58I can't be without her
16:00Ethan Shaw
16:02you are an absolute bastard
16:03she turned and walked out
16:05slammed the door behind her
16:10the second Harper walked out
16:12Ethan texted me on iMessage
16:15the message turned green
16:16not delivered
16:17he hit resend
16:18not delivered again
16:19he called
16:2010 times
16:2115 times
16:22straight to voicemail
16:23texts
16:24calls
16:25all social media
16:26I blocked him on everything
16:27he drove to my house
16:29it was pitch black
16:30and completely empty
16:31he sat on the porch
16:32typing non-stop
16:34from then on
16:34he texted me
16:35every single day
16:38on the first day of college
16:39Ethan went straight to that
16:40no-name university in New York
16:42hello
16:43may I ask if there is a new student
16:44named Mia registered?
16:46had no student by that name
16:48he flipped through the freshman directory
16:49from A to Z
16:51no Mia Carter
16:52I never enrolled there
16:53years later
16:54his mom filled in the blanks
16:56he completely broke down
16:58tried everything to find me
16:59finally a teacher told him
17:01I went to Paris
17:02Mia said stop calling
17:03she doesn't want to see you
17:04Ethan I watched you grow up
17:07I always thought you were a good kid
17:08but this time
17:09you really broke her
17:10if you care about her
17:11let her go
17:12Linda told me he hung up the phone
17:15and he cried
17:15for the very first time
17:22when I first got here
17:24I couldn't understand anything
17:26every lecture sounded like noise to me
17:29I ordered food in the dining hall
17:31by pointing through the glass
17:33but it slowly got better
17:35my French improved every day
17:37I started raising my hand in class
17:39the first time I nailed a full presentation
17:41the whole room applauded
17:43I never felt that way back in my hometown
17:45back home I was just
17:46the invisible nobody
17:47the basic girl
17:48who wasn't nearly good enough for Ethan
17:50standing next to Ethan
17:51I disappeared
17:51next to him I faded into the background
17:53it took me a long time to realize
17:55I was never as average as they said
17:59Mia, I came looking for you
18:01I'm standing right outside your campus
18:03just see me
18:03one last time
18:11I never thought he'd actually fly halfway across the world for me
18:15two months apart
18:16he looked completely different
18:17and exactly the same
18:19I'm sorry
18:20I know it's too late
18:21but I need you to hear it
18:23I'm in love with you
18:24a confession that came way too late
18:27if he had said this before we broke up
18:29it might have actually worked
18:31but we were done
18:34okay
18:35I hear you
18:36now what?
18:40come back
18:41no more breaks
18:43the second we get back
18:44we go public
18:46these past two months
18:48I've missed you every single day
18:50you asked for this break
18:53now you're begging to fix it?
18:54you tell me you love me
18:56but you told the whole world I meant nothing
18:58you made me wait for three years
19:01know how that felt?
19:03hearing I'm not into her broke me
19:06I pushed myself to the lip trying to reach you
19:08and you called it a fleek
19:09you never cared
19:11you always looked down on me
19:13I swear I can be better
19:14I'll do whatever it takes
19:16this is as far as you go
19:17we're done here
19:19go home Ethan
19:23Ethan didn't stop
19:24he somehow got my email address
19:26after flying back
19:28he emailed me every single day
19:30it's raining in New York
19:31do you have your umbrella?
19:33today is our anniversary
19:34I ordered cake and flowers
19:37I never replied to a single one
19:39he sent a massive email
19:41saying how much he regretted everything
19:43saying he finally made up for every public denial
19:47on Instagram, online, in front of everyone
19:50claiming me as his girlfriend
19:51the class group chat had 99 plus notifications
19:55someone took a screenshot of his Instagram post
19:58an old picture of us
19:59he wrote
20:00Mia Carter
20:00I owe you a public apology
20:02you spent years chasing me
20:04now it's my turn
20:05I'll wait
20:05if you ever look back
20:06I'll be here
20:08the comments were blowing up
20:10Ethan replied to every single one
20:12with the exact same sentence
20:13I like Mia Carter
20:14I always have
20:15three years later
20:16he finally said it in front of the whole world
20:19but it was way too late
20:22time flew by
20:24I truly came into my own in Paris
20:26that relationship was like a violent summer storm
20:29the rain stopped and it was over
20:32sometimes I still dreamed about home
20:34waking up still stung a little
20:36but only sometimes
20:37I started dressing for me and got asked out
20:40by quite a few guys
20:43I stayed in the top 3 of my major
20:45a professor even asked me to be his research assistant
20:48I made a solid group of friends
20:50we traveled every single break
20:52on my birthday
20:53my friend grabbed my hand
20:55Mia you are incredible
20:57you deserve the world
20:58I broke down and hugged her
21:00because no one had ever said that to me before
21:03it took me a long time to tell myself
21:06Mia Carter you are brilliant
21:09and you are more than enough
21:10in my final year
21:11I applied for my masters
21:12when the email dropped
21:13my hands shook
21:14I saw it and broke down
21:16all those years of being ignored
21:18being laughed at
21:18being told I wasn't good enough
21:20all of it just gone
21:24before the semester I flew home with my parents
21:263 years later I was standing in Ethan's house again
21:29his parents were exactly the same
21:31Linda fussed at me for disappearing
21:33saying she was worried sick
21:34she said if she had known Ethan and I were together
21:37she never would have pushed Harper onto him
21:39she told me Ethan never moved on
21:41all through college
21:42no girlfriends
21:43none after taking over the family business either
21:46we talked for a long time that afternoon
21:48when I walked out of his house it was raining
21:50I was digging in my bag for cover when an umbrella blocked the rain
21:54Ethan 3 years
21:55he looked exactly the same
21:57except for something quiet behind his eyes
21:59he had rushed back so fast his tie was crooked
22:01he insisted on walking me back
22:03our houses were barely a minute apart
22:05but he insisted
22:06a path we had walked a million times before
22:14congratulations on the masters program
22:17thanks
22:18a one minute walk
22:19it took us 10
22:20neither of us said a word
22:22right by my front door he called my name
22:24he looked at me his eyes heavy with something I couldn't even name
22:29I'm sorry
22:31and I'm going to keep waiting
22:32I knew he wouldn't back down
22:35stop waiting Ethan
22:36I've let it go
22:37it's time for you to move on too
22:39I said my last words and shut the door
22:41through the door I heard him sobbing
22:43choked, muffled by the rain
22:49but my life, it would never be trapped in that storm again
22:52oh don't
22:55the door
22:57here is no good
22:59you
22:59have let their thoughts happen
23:02you
