Many of you are shocked that Ethan would cheat on Mia. And yeah it is pretty shocking to think that everything was going well for the both of them and then this happens, but it did. This won't be a cheat story. Frankly, I don't like cheat stories mostly because they remind me of what I have been through (yes, I have been cheated on a few times.). I hope that no one has to go through something that Mia went through when she found out that Ethan was cheating on her. I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger ( I love that Kelly Clarkson song!).

Now back to the story.

Mia's POV

My world has been turned upside down. As I begin to arrange my clothes on the bed, I remember Ethan joining that blonde chick at the door. A shiver goes down my spine and tears being to fall down my cheeks.

What exactly have I done to deserve this? I feel like all of this is my fault. Im still trying to figure out what was wrong with our relationship. Was there not enough sex? Was I way too bubbly? I can't seem to find the answer to what went wrong. The best thing to do right now is to move on. Christian and Ethan were right all along; Ethan is no good. I failed to listen to them as I have with every other guy they have said no to. I always shrugged it off as a mere coincidence and to the fact that they are very overprotective of me.

Ethan has left me a lot of texts and voicemails on my phone, but I refuse to listen to them. He should have thought about the consequences when he was fucking that chick. There is no way in hell that I will stay with him after what he did. I actually saw a future with Ethan and now that this happened, I am left with a pit in my stomach and an overwhelming amount of regret and sadness.

I am glad that I have the support of my family. I am very lucky to have them with me at a time like this.

I hear a knock on the door.

"Ethan, I don't want to see or hear from you, so go away."I say loud enough so Ethan can hear me.

"Miss Grey, its Sawyer." is the reply I get.

Christian promised to send Taylor down to bring some boxes for me to pack my stuff. Im guessing Taylor must have been busy and that's why he sent Sawyer. It is no secret that I have a crush on Sawyer. I mean who wouldn't? He is tall and has blue eyes with blonde hair; not to mention that he served in the army before coming to work for Christian.

I look in the mirror that is right by the door. Ever since I came back home after finding out that my now ex-boyfriend has cheated on me, I opted for my favorite pair of pjs and a white tank top. Sawyer will not see me at my best today, but I honestly don't care. There is no way I have a chance with Sawyer. I have the worst luck when it comes to dating.

I open the door. Standing in front of me is Sawyer holding a bunch of cardboard boxes.

"Thank you so much, Sawyer." I say. I take them out of his hands. I thought that he is going to leave, but when I look back to the door, I see him.

"Mr. Grey asked me to help you with the moving." He said.

Christian did not mention any of that to me, but I am glad that I have some help. There is no way I can carry all these cardboard boxes down to my car without some help.

"Well that's really nice of my brother." I say with a smile. As much as it pains me, I manage to put a smile on my face, even though it is really hard for me to be happy.

"Please come in." I tell Sawyer.

He walks in and closes the door behind him.

"Can I offer you anything to drink?" I ask him. Poor guy has to watch me and my miserable self put away my clothes into boxes, and plus I look like crap.

"No thank you, Ms. Grey." He says.

"Sawyer, you know you can call me Mia when Christian is not around." I tell him.

He nods in agreement and I lead him to the bedroom to help me.

He begins to assemble the cardboard boxes and as soon as the first one is done, I start to put my clothes in.

After a while, I am done with clothes and Sawyer has graciously put some of the cardboard boxes in the Suv that will be taken back to my parents house. I didn't think I would be going back home. But I guess I have done something wrong in my previous relationship that now I have to move back in with them. I feel tears swell in my eyes and I try to conceal them from falling down my cheeks. I don't want Sawyer to see my cry. He will probably think I am being overdramatic.

Unfortunately, I am a little bad when it comes to hiding something.

" …I mean Mia, are you alright?" Sawyer asks me.

"Not really, but its okay. I don't want you to think that I am needy or something." I tell him. The guy already thinks I am a spoiled brat.

"You're not needy. Its healthy to let out your emotions. " He tells me.

The tears start to come down a little more.

"But why,Sawyer? Why did he do this to me? I've loved him. I put everything into that relationship and the next thing I know he is off sleeping with another woman. " I say to him through all the tears.

"Permission to speak freely?" He asks me.

I simply nod and dry my face with a nearby towel.

"You did nothing wrong. He was just a jerk, but he will soon realize that, if he hasn't already." Sawyer says. He gives me a tissue from the desk.

"I feel like a total failure. This always happens to me, I end up falling head over heels for someone and then I get this "surprise" and its over. I feel like its all my fault. Either that or all men are jerks." I say. I take out a picture of me and Ethan that was on the night stand. I rip it into small pieces and throw it into the trash.

"You're saying that now because you are hurt, but in reality not all men are jerks. I personally wasn't a big fan of Ethan. I can see why your two brothers didn't like him. I don't think its your fault. You are a beautiful woman. Any man would be lucky to have you." Sawyer tells me.

Did he just call me beautiful? I feel myself blushing and I smile shyly at him.

"Do you really think Im beautiful?" I ask him.

"Yes, I do, but I don't want to think that I am telling you this because of pity. I really mean it. I have been very envious of Ethan since you have started dating him. And now that he showed his true colors, I am happy to say that I finally have a chance with you. When you are completely over him, tell me that you would go have coffee with me sometime." Sawyer says.

He also had feelings for me and he was jealous of Ethan?! Wow,t hats certainly something I wasn't expecting.

"I think that's a lovely idea. " I tell him. My tears are gone now and I can finally look at the sunshine that is pouring into the room with a slight sense of optimism. Like everyone around me has always said to me, things happen for a reason. This is a sign that I have to stop dwelling in the past and move on with my life.

Sawyer gives me a shy smile as he takes the last boxes down to the Suv.

I change into a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt and slip into some flipflops that I set aside. I join Sawyer downstairs and we head to my parents' house.

Once again, Sawyer helped me with the cardboard boxes and was kind enough to throw them away for me after I finished putting away my stuff back to my room.

"Promise me you will give me a chance. Im not asking you to go out with me now, but when you are ready." He tells me, his blue eyes glimmering with delight.

"Of course." I tell him. Sawyer gives me a kiss on the forehead before leaving my room. "Thanks again for your help."

"You're very welcome, Mia." He says.

I can feel relief pour into my system and I no longer feel sad. Yes, I am still mad at Ethan for what he did, but I am hopeful for my future. I won't keep Sawyer waiting. Soon, I will go out on a coffee date with him. Is tomorrow a little too soon?!

Sawyer's POV

As I leave the Grey's manor, I feel happy. Like super happy.

First of all, Mia is no longer with that fucker Ethan. Everytime I saw her kissing him or holding his hand, my blood would boil. Yes, I admit it I was jealous, but I didn't want to intervene. Everyone was liking the guy and I decided to do so as well, but like Mr. Grey, I didn't trust him. There was just something about this guy that was very strange and now we all know what that its.

And secondly, Mia agreed to give me a chance. I didn't want to come off as some desperate guy when I asked her, but I couldn't hang on to these feelings any longer. Mia is a great woman and yes, she could be very bubbly sometimes, yet I see no harm in that. She is a very beautiful person. I cannot wait for our little coffee date.

I wonder if Mr. Grey will object to me dating his little sister. He might at first, but I know that he would rather have me with her than Ethan. I would never break Mia's heart. She is a treasure that needs to be cherished.

I drive into the parking lot of Escala and make it upstairs to Mr. Grey's penthouse. I stop by the kitchen to get some water and I run in to Taylor.

"Did you deliver the boxes to Mia?" He asks.

"Yes." I reply. I open the bottle and take a long drink.

"I still cannot believe that guy Ethan. How can he do that to Mia?!" Taylor says.

" I never liked that guy in the first place. Mia doesn't deserve him though." I tell Taylor.

Taylor searches my eyes for a minute as if he knows what I have in mind.

"Whatever is you are planning in that head of yours needs to be approved Mr. Grey, although I don't see why he would object. You're a nice young man and I don't think you would hurt Mia's feelings." Taylor says to me with a smile.

"I would never cheat on Mia." I tell him.

I am about to leave the kitchen when I find Mr. Grey standing there. By the his facial expression I cannot figure out whether he is pissed off or tired or both.

"Mr. Grey" I acknowledge his presence.

"Sawyer, I will see you in my study in 5 minutes." Mr. Grey says.

"Yes, sir." I say.

I decide to waste no time and head to his study. As I was walking there, I have to admit that I felt slightly nervous. Although I was confident that he would okay with the fact that I may potentially date his sister, now I don't feel so sure.

I guess there is only one way to find out…
