A few days passed. I had a free week and read in my bed. Suddenly someone knocked on the window. I jumped and immediately grabbed the scissors i had next to me. I went there and saw a silhouette on the balcony.

"Ethan?!" I opened the window and he hugged me.
"What are you doing here?" I hugged him back but I was so confused.

"You haven't answered me in days. I got worried." I looked at him.

"You... Worried about me?" The long haired boy nodded as some hair fell on his face. I blushed because... That was so unexpected...
"Why?"

"Because... We used to text almost every day. And suddenly... Nothing. I thought something happened."

"Don't worry. Work has just been stressful and I took most of the time reading and sleeping. Sorry for getting you worried. " He smiled at me and took my hand.

"I want to show you something" I raised an eyebrow, but I decided to follow him.

"Ethan where are we going? " I walked with him and hugged myself. I was so cold.

"Trust me. You'll love it. " He put his jacket over me and we kept walking. I hugged his jacket and... Apart from the smoke... It smelt kinda good... We kept walking and arrived at a cliff. And the sun went down there. It was beautiful.

"Wow... " I looked around.

"Yeah..." He smiled and he already had something prepared. I looked at it and smiled so much. It was like a picnic, but with a table and Italian food.

"What is all this? " I looked at him still confused yet in awe.

"Dinner? I thought you might like it"

"Like it?! I love it! Thank you so much! " I hugged him tight and he hugged me back. He pulled a chair back for me and I sat down
"Is this a date? "

"Maybe?" He smiled and he gave me something to eat. I was so happy. We talked, laughed and shared our stories.

"Wait wait wait... You did what after the concert? " I laughed.

"What?"

"Firework from the hotel balony? For fucking real?!"

"We won! Of course we wanted the celebrate"

"You almost burnt the hotel!! "

"So what?"

"Oh my god" I laughed and we kept eating.

"So what are your goals in life someday?" I shrugged.

"Honestly... I haven't really thought about that yet. I'm getting up, working, going home and sleeping. That's it."

"But do you have anything you always wanted?" I smiled. Why did he care so much?

"Well.... I am a creative person. I love to draw. I love music too. So... My dream was always to do something with it. But I don't know. Maybe not as a main job. I love working with kids you know? Maybe I want to live abroad someday. Just see life from a new perspective."

"Wow. That's interesting. Really. I hope you can fulfill your dream. " He put his hand on mine and I blushed so hard.

"Thank you Ethan. " Then he smirked. I put another fork with food into my mouth and ate it.
"What? " I looked at him confused.

"Can you draw me? " I chocked on the water that I drank after.

"What? Me? " He nodded. I stammered

"S- sure... Wait... " I took out my sketchbook and pencils.

"Just... Stand still... " I started to draw...

After about half an hour I finished and gave him the drawing. His eyes widened and he smiled bright

"Wow... " I smiled at him.

"I hope it's not too bad. " I blushed a little. He looked at me in shock.

"Not too bad?! It's amazing! You should become an artist!"

"Like I said... Not as a main job..." I looked at Ethan and saw him almost having a real light bulb above his head.

"You could design our album covers!" My eyes widened.

"What? "

"Think about it. We would pay you and you could do this only sometimes. What do you think?" I smiled.

"I love it. Thank you so much. "

After a few hours it was already super late and Ethan took me home.

"Thank you for tonight" I smiled at him

"Thank you. " He smiled and kissed my cheek. I blushed and he scratched his neck.
"Sorry"

"It's okay" I smiled and held his cheek softly because he was so embarrassed from that kiss. But then he held my hand and put it away from his cheek, looking into my eyes.

"I need to talk to you." I tilted my head and nodded. We sat down on my bed.

"Is everything okay? " He shook his head.

"Tonight is... My last night here..." I looked at him.

"What do you mean?" He looked down.

"I need to get back to Italy. The tour is over and... We have to go back." I looked down.

"Oh..." He held my chin up and looked at me.

"(Y/n). I wanted to tell you something. And... This might not be the best timing, but the last chance for me to tell you."

"Just tell me, Ethan." He took a deep breath.

"The last days.... Ever since that concert actually... I started to feel something... Unusual... I felt like someone actually cared about our person, not our Status. And that... Made me feel so... Different... I talked to the guys about it and... We are all thinking the same thing. But I realizied that I felt more. I love you, (y/n). And... I know you probably don't feel the same way... But if you do... I want you to come to Italy with me."
