Arya's POV
Chapter song: My heart is broken by Evanescence
Silly blog post...How can they say something so stupid??? How can Ethan be on his way to Los Angeles where as he should have dinner with me later??? Damn bloggers always telling lies for some few coins....

"Jackie, why are you shocked??? They are just stupid lies..." I said almost in a loud whisper...
"What if it's true????" She asked in a worried tone...

"I trust Ethan...He promised he won't lie to me again and I believe him...." I yelled at her...
"But where there is smoke, there is fire..."
"Jackie I thought he was your celebrity crush...Everytime I talked ill about him, you defended him.. My Ethan, wouldn't lie to me..." I could tears burning in my eyes...

"I care about you and I don't want you to be hurt...." She said calmly, trying to take hold of my hands but I drew them away...
"I think you should leave Jackie...We will talk when I get home..." I walked to the door and opened it,"Please leave..."

When she got to the door, she paused for a while about to say something but I looked away...My Ethan would never lie to me, he promised..
When she left, I slammed the door and slumped on the couch....

I turned on the TV and watched some weird reality show as I waited for my Ethan...Seconds became minutes became an hour became five hours but I still didn't give up...He said no matter what, I shouldn't be tired of waiting and I won't break that promise...

The clock stroke midnight and there was still no sign of him...Maybe he is busy, he is a celebrity he has alot on his plate...

I was tempted to have some wine but I didn't want to mess our dinner date..I wanted it to be perfect...

Bae...
Hey Ethan Marcias, I am waiting for you.....

This was like the twentieth text I have sent him and he hasn't replied...Maybe his phone battery ran low.. Shit happens...

I had begun feeling sleepy and drowsy when my phone pinged with a message...
I jumped out of the couch thinking it's from Ethan only to find out it's from Jackie...
Bff....
How was the dinner date???I am waiting for you....
Me...
He has still not arrived but I know he is just busy. 
Bff
Or maybe he is on a flight going to Los Angeles...
Me....
Don't ruin my mood Jackie.I know he will come..Goodnight...

I switched off the phone, lied on my left side on the sofa in a foetal position...I hugged a throw pillow tightly watching TV...Yes I watching but everything was completely blur...I just wanted my Ethan beside me..

I looked at the watch, it was 4am....Is he okay???Maybe he dozed off while working...
Or is in danger

. That explains why he is not replying my messages.. I should inform the authorities....

I dialled 999 and a male with a husky voice answered....
"Hello search Sonko squad, how can I help you???"
"I think Ethan Marcias, the footballer is in danger....Look for him kindly and tell me his whereabouts...."
"Young girl, do you think you are the first to call asking for Ethan Marcias??? If you want to see him so much, go and watch him as he plays..Don't bother me again...".
"But...." The fool hanged up...

I stood up from the sofa and began pacing around the living room...Ethan can't lie to me, I know he will come ..He said I wait for him and that's what I will do even if it takes forever....

I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water when I heard the doorbell ring. I knew he wouldn't fail me, I knew he would never break the promise he made to his pretty doll....

I placed the glass of water on the counter, wore my heels and ran to the door...I opened it excitedly only to see Jackie standing on the other side...
"What do you want????"
"Here,"She handed me her phone,"open the link..." She said in a commanding voice....

I rolled my eyes, took the phone from her and clicked on the link...It was a video from Blogspot....

"Ethan Marcias just landed and he is currently in the hospital with his girlfriend Ivy Alvaro. Ethan Marcias as always showing us that he is that perfect boyfriend every girl wishes to have..."Tears and tears sprung down my eyes as I staggered back and almost fell but Jackie held me....

"Come and sit down...." She walked me to the sofa and sat close by me, her arm around my shoulder...I didn't attempt to wipe away my tears since I knew they wouldn't stop falling...

Suddenly I see Ethan and a girl walking out of the hospital and the paparazzis run towards them....She was like a goddess and Ethan beside her looked like a god..They were a perfect match...What made me think he would ever fall for a girl like me????

"Miss Ivy, how are you feeling????" One of the them asked...
"I am okay and the fact that my boyfriend is here to give me moral support means alot . I love you baby..." She pressed her lips on his cheeks and laced their fingers together..

My heart sank as I felt something hardening my chest ..It was jealousy, how dare she kiss my Ethan????
"Ethan, once again you have proved to be the perfect boyfriend...So what do you have to say about the incident that happened to your girlfriend the night before???" Another one asked...
"It's saddenning but I am glad my love is okay...I hope those fools will be arrested soon and get to be taught a lesson...Nobody messes with Ethan's girlfriend..." He brought their intertwined hands to his lips and kissed it....Damn there was this sense of belonging in his eyes as he looked at her....

I hate how perfect they looked....I know I didn't have the right to be jealous but I couldn't helped it..I can't love you because you have a girlfriend and I can't hate you and it's ruining my life....

"Ethan...."
"That's enough for today..." He wrapped his arm around her waist and walked her to the car...I am fool to ever think that me and you could ever be.  Once again you lied to me....

"That's enough..." Jackie grabbed the phone from me and hugged me....
"Please make it stop...." I sobbed on her shoulder...
"I am here for you short woman...We should go home now, it's already 6 o'clock in the morning..."

After crying for what seemed like a hour,I pulled back and wiped the tears from my eyes with the back of my hands  faking a smile at her..
"I will just change from this dress then we will go home...."

After I got off the dress, I placed it inside the box together with the heels and left him a small note..
I took a black t-shirt from his closet and wore it....

"Let's go...." I told Jackie, with my heels on my hand...
"I am sorry short woman that it had to end like this..."
"At least I know he is dating...." I stammered, tears dripping from my eyes...

In the taxi, I let the tears wet my cheeks as Jackie  held me so close to her...She didn't say anything or try to wipe my tears away, she knew I needed to cry the pain out...I let him in and he broke me...

"Bae, have some rest...I will go and open the bakery..." Jackie said softly and I nodded wordlessly...
"I am sorry, I was cold to you...." I stuttered...
"It's okay....we all have our low moments...Just rest and I will take care of the rest..."

I changed into my pyjamas, savoured into the duvet and hugged my teddy bear so tight...
"Promise me that you will never hurt me..." I kissed it's nose as tears began rolling down my cheeks again...

I tried to close my eyes and forget what had happened but the video kept playing in my mind on repeat mode...Like a crazy depressed heartbroken girl who needed to know her competition, I went to the internet and clicked on article after article until I knew all about them...

They have dated for three years and they are among the power couple in our country...I hate how lovingly she looked at him in their photos...

I continued scrolling down the internet when I found a vlog video..
Surprise visit to Bae's house after his arrival from Italy. 

I clicked on the video and there was the boyfriend snatcher looking all beautiful and perfect.. .
"So hey my beautiful people, as you know Ethan is back from Italy and I want to surprise him .Only God knows how much I have missed him..."
Damn she looks like a million dollar cheque...Classy,elegant and sophisticated....

She opens the door to Ethan's apartment and tiptoes into his room with a bonquet of roses on her han
There is my Ethan looking so peaceful in his sleep...
"Ain't he adorable???" She faked a sob and I rolled my eyes...Shut up woman, finish the damn surprise and walk out of there...

"Hello baby," She sits beside him on the bed and begins to kiss him all over his face...
"Stop it baby...." Ethan chuckled, his arms around her body...
"Welcome back love..."
"Thank you my love..." She pressed her lips on his and they shared a passionate kiss...I was so mad that I hadn't realised that I had bit my lip so hard that it begin to bleed...Ethan, your lips only belong to me...Nobody else Ethan...

She pulled back, handed him the roses  and he smelt them before placing them back on the nightstand...
"Do you mind joining me in bed???" His voice was full of seduction...
"Let me first switch off the camera..."
"Bae,We are on camera???" He asked shockingly...
"Yes love..." The witch laughed with her hand over her mouth only for Ethan to carry her bridal style and spin her around...

After having too much fun with the man that should be mine, she took her camera back in her hand..
"Bye beautiful people, till next..." Ethan came slowly from behind her and pressed his lips on her cheeks...
"Love stop, the camera is still rolling..."
"Who cares!!!" He wrapped his arms around her and winked at the camera then it all goes dark ..

Someone please help me to stop feeling what am feeling...I am scared it will never go away since everyday  I fall for him more and more..  He looks so happy with her but I want him for me..I know it sounds selfish but the heart wants what it wants ..

If I came first before that witch, would you have chosen me???

I  searched if there is any break up rumor but they was none..I searched if there was any possibility they would get married and unfortunately all their fans wanted that...The social media family had sealed their relationship...I went ahead and enabled all Google alerts so that I don't be caught by surprise again. 

Finally after crying myself to sleep, I managed to get some rest but it was short-lived when my phone began to ring again..

"Arya, you phone has been ringing for the longest time..."Jackie peeled the duvet from my body...
"Leave me alone..."I pulled the duvet cover my body upto my neck...
"I will answer it then..."
I shrugged only for her to shake me vigorously...

"Short woman, it's Ethan calling..."
