I woke up with a huge smile on my face. Trevor did the nicest thing for me yesterday. He got me all my favorite candies and we went to see a movie. I think he knew how crazy everything has been lately with both of us and we both really needed just a nice afternoon, just the two of us.

It was hard now trying to get the motivation to actually go to school. I much rather skip and drag Trevor somewhere fun. I wanted to try and make up for all the time we had been on a break.

The second I saw the familiar head of brown hair, I raced forward and flung my arms around him.

"Hey." He turned around smiling at me.

"Hi," I grinned back at him.

"What's got you in a good mood?" He flung his arm over my shoulder and walked next to me down the hallway.

"Just happy to see you."

"I'm still coming over after school right?" He asked.

I nodded.

I loved being able to spend so much time with Trevor. While we luckily both had our afternoons free we either spent it at one of our houses or going out on a spur of the moment date that Trevor comes up with. The weekends were mostly reserved for me to see Caitlynn or go out all four of us. I did try to find time to spend some one on one time with Trevor on the weekends too.

We wanted to spend as much time as we could now since we didn't quite know what the future holds. I hadn't heard back from any of my colleges and Trevor had yet to decide what he wanted to do. I knew he was still thinking about joining the military but with everything going on in his family he's been less inclined to try and bring the subject up.

"Since you're in such a good mood does that mean I get to pick the movie today?" Trevor questioned.

"You wish." I laughed.

"Just this once?" He frowned.

"Let me think about it."

Trevor loved horror movies, anything scary really while I was easily scared and refused to watch them with him. Every time we watched a movie he always tried to get me to watch one but so far he has yet to succeed. I might be generous today and finally let him get his wish.

I knew the main reason he wanted to watch one was because he thought it would be entertaining to watch me act like a scaredy-cat.

"Is there anything I can do to help persuade you?" He gave me a cheeky grin.

"There might be one thing." I let a smile spread across my face.

He stopped and wrapped his arms around me pulling me off to the side of the hall. Once we were out of the way of the people he started to lean in for a kiss. Once his lips were only a couple inches away from mine I pushed him back.

"Not at school." I shook my head.

"You're going to be the death of me Ella." Trevor chuckled and took my hand in his and intertwined our fingers.

I laughed and walked with him to first period. I was seriously falling for this boy and I didn't know if I'd survive the fall.

When the bell signaling lunch rang I was the first one to jump out of my seat. My stomach had been grumbling all class and I couldn't wait to finally eat something. While I was never hungry when I woke up I always got super hungry after the first period and had to anxiously wait until lunch when I could finally eat something.

"Ella!" I heard someone call out behind me.

I turned around to see who it was and was surprised to see Holden rushing towards me.

"Here." He held out my rough draft with notes covering it.

I hadn't actually expected him to give me notes on what I needed to fix but here he was surprising me.

"Thank you, I have yours in my bag." I shuffled through my bag until I found the essay.

"Thanks El, I really need a good grade on this essay if I want to pass this class." He smiled.

It felt weird to be somewhat friendly with Holden but if he was trying to put the past behind us I'd do the same. I may not want to be friends but I'd be civil when I needed to.

"You're essay wasn't bad, I just had a few corrections." I told him.

"This is just a few corrections?" He flipped through the pages covered in blue pen.

I let out a soft laugh as he raised his eyebrows at me.

"It's good to see you haven't changed El." He shook his head and put the essay in his bag.

"Well I should probably get to lunch but I'll see you around." I said and started to turn around.

"Wait, I actually was hoping to talk to you about something." He stopped me.

I had a bad feeling, there was really nothing good that could come of this.

"What?" I questioned.

"I know I have no right to say any of this but I miss us. I know it's been way too long but I knew I'd regret it if I didn't at least try. I made a mistake, I shouldn't have hurt you. You were the best thing that ever happened to me and I'd do anything to try and get you back. If you think about the good parts of our relationship, you'd see that we were really perfect together." He confessed.

I just stood there speechless. I don't know what I expected him to say but I don't think I was ready to hear those words.

"You can think about it if you want." He offered.

"I don't need to." I shook my head.

I could see a flash of hope in his eyes. He was out of his mind if he actually thought that this would work.

"You can't seriously think that I would get back with you after you cheated on me, multiple times. We were not perfect together Holden, we were a disaster. You manipulated me and my feelings had blinded me from seeing the truth but now I can see you for exactly who you are. You won't ever get the chance to hurt me again Holden. I hope the best for you I do, I hope you find a girl that will make you want to be a good guy but I know I am not and will never be that girl." I said.

It felt good to get that off my chest.

"So you don't have feelings for me?" He frowned.

"Absolutely none." I shook my head.

He just nodded and walked off. I wished I had a bat or something. I really wanted to hit something repeatedly.
