Chapter 4Everyone Thought He Was the Perfect Boyfriend. Then He Hard-Launched His Ex.

Ethan?

Why him...

Becca's voice was getting staticky, like she had bad reception, and the call dropped.

I sat on my bed, staring blankly at the wall. I thought back to how Ethan had turned and walked away at the front gates.

I thought he was just annoyed by my venting. I never imagined he was walking off to get justice for me.

I debated whether I should go to the scene to see what was happening, but before I could decide, the dorm door swung open and Becca walked in.

She was humming a little tune, clearly in a great mood.

Before I could even ask, she dragged me out of bed and spilled the whole story.

Ethan had tracked Caleb down and fought him.

To be accurate, they beat the living hell out of each other. Both took some hits; neither had a clear advantage.

Becca grabbed my hands, her eyes shining.

"Chloe, you have no idea. Ethan demanded to know how he dared to two-time you, and the way he threw that first punch? Absolute cinematic perfection!"

I felt my heart skip a beat.

My fingers gripped the edge of my shirt, but I kept my face totally neutral. "What about... Caleb?"

At the mention of Caleb, Becca went quiet.

She looked up at me, hesitating. "He fought back. And..."

"He told Ethan he knew Ethan had been eyeing you for a long time."
