-----------------------------------------------------------
it stung when you noticed the way ethan did a double-take when this new girl was introduced to your friend group by tara.
tara explained to the group that she was partnered up with the girl, lilith, to do an assignment and to be nice to her. she was gorgeous — basically the beauty standard — and it was clear that everyone else, including your boyfriend thought so too.
ethan was all smiles when he introduced himself and had offered to help her with getting caught up when she'd told him she was transferring to economics next semester. you frowned, feeling a lump in your throat and fiddling with your fingers in your lap.
anika's smile faded when she saw the way you'd reacted to the ordeal, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder.
it had been around two months now since tara introduced lilith to the group and you still felt guilty the way your stomach churned everytime you saw her. her and ethan had spent a lot of time together for the last week. unfortunately, chad was how you found out.
"yeah, she's been coming over like.. every day," he told you with a confused look. "hasn't ethan told you this?"
you felt your eyes become wet with tears and shook your head with a false smile, excusing yourself. you didn't want to accuse him of being unfaithful because you did trust him; but the fact that he hadn't told you? it was a little bit suspicious.
you sat in your bed and stared out the window, knees tucked up as you leant your face on them. tears trickled down your face as you sniffled, occasionally wiping your eyes.
if he was cheating on you — that'd be low, your one year anniversary was coming up on sunday.
you got up from your bed and walked over to the mirror, staring at your reflection. you poked and prodded at your face, frown deepening. i don't look like her, you thought. you continued to pick out all the different flaws you could see, a sick feeling in your stomach. if ethan was cheating on you, you wouldn't blame him.
you jumped as you heard a knock on your apartment door and hurried to wipe your tears. you exited your bedroom and opened the door to see your boyfriend.
ethan grinned at you and went to hug you before he paused, his brows furrowing in concern as he saw your bloodshot eyes — slightly puffy from crying.
he chewed the inside of his cheek and entered your apartment, closing the door behind him before pulling you into his chest for a hug. he gently held the back of your head, the other hand wrapping around your waist as he kissed your forehead.
"hey, why's my angel been crying, hm?" he whispered to you, his voice low and soft.
your bottom lip quivered and you took shaky breaths as you shook your head, "i'm okay."
he clicked his tongue and moved a hand to your chin, pulling your head gently to face him. he stared into your eyes for a moment as your breath hitched in your throat.
"don't lie to me, love," he shook his head with a frown and rubbed small circles into your hip with his thumb. "tell me what's bothering you."
you sighed and sniffled, pulling him over to your bedroom where you sat down on your bed and patted the spot next to you.
he nodded at your gesture and sat beside you, left hand resting on your thigh as he rubbed it gently, soothingly.
"chad told me lilith has been coming to see you a lot lately," you mumbled. you felt so horrible to accuse him of this but you needed closure.
ethan's eyes widened a little and he looked down at the ground before turning to face you, cupping your cheek. "nothing is going on between us if that's what you're getting at," he told you. there was a sincerity in his eyes that you'd never seen before.
you swallowed thickly and avoided eye contact with him. "then why didn't you tell me?" you asked softly.
you took a shaky breath inwards and let out a sob that you could no longer hold back as he waited for you to continue.
"she's pretty," you choked out, "i get it if you can't see us going forward because of her."
ethan's eyes squinted in confusion before they widened and he leant closer to your face, the hand that was on your thigh now holding one of yours.
"no, no," he shook his head with a frown. "that's not it, baby. i... i didn't want to tell you because she was helping me plan something for our anniversary."
the truth finally came out — and now you felt terrible.
ethan moved a little closer to your face, hovering above your lips now. he'd processed what you said about yourself and kissed your lips gently, mumbling against them.
"you are so gorgeous," he told you. "the only girl for me — my pretty angel."
your face grew warm as a few tears slipped from your eyes and he moved to gently kiss your eyelids, then your nose, your cheeks, your chin, your forehead and then back to your lips.
"i'm so sorry, baby. i just wanted to surprise you, i never meant for you to feel this way." he sighed and pulled you into another hug, his arms wrapped around you tightly.
you hummed and closed your eyes, whispering to him softly. "s'okay... i'm sorry for accusing you."
ethan chuckled and moved hair out of your face, tapping your nose gently with his fingertip.
"with everything you knew about it, you had a right to. i'm sorry, i know i said that already but i'll keep apologising until i know you know that i really am." he rambled for a little until you leant up and pecked him on the lips.
"i know you're sorry, eth."
THIS TOOK SO LONG IM SO SORRY 😭
