Chapter 6 | Revealing Feelings

Ethan's POV

BOOM. Another clap of thunder rattled from above. I kept my head down and my face sheltered under the huge tree that was protecting me from the rain. It clearly wasn't safe outside, especially under this tree since trees were like conductors of electricity and were very likely to get hit by lightning.

I didn't want to risk my chances, so I knew heading back to the studio would probably be my best option since it wasn't too far away.

To be honest, I didn't even know why I had stormed out in the first place. Chris and Jakob had brought up Jamie and I just guess I couldn't really handle all the questions at the moment since I didn't even know how to feel about her anymore.

It had been my idea to have the whole long-distance relationship. I had been so keen on the idea and literally begged her to consider it since she wasn't really willing to give it a try. And now I had a girlfriend.

I had forgotten about Jamie. I had let her slip out of my life like she was meaningless and worthless- and that made me a cheater.

Time had just gotten the better of me and made me think that Jamie was just a figure of a dream even though that was completely untrue.

She had shaped me as a person. She gave me a different outlook on life; a completely different perspective.

And now I felt I had changed even more being away from her. I'd turned into a completely different person.

I no longer was childish and reckless like I used to be. I'd grown up. I was more mature, more focused and attentive to the world, people and life around me, but I wasn't sure if it was for the better. Maybe that's why we'd drifted apart? I'd left my old life in Geelong behind and I guess she was apart of that...

But there was always constant reminders of Jamie of how had accepted me for my old stupid self and one of the very few people that I knew I could trust with literally everything. Even though I had stuffed up on more then one occasion.

She probably wasn't likely to forgive me now that I had just complicated things even more.

What the hell was I thinking to just ignore her when she simultaneously called out my name early today?

I guess all the guilt was hanging on my shoulders about how Emma was my girlfriend now. Hopefully Jamie didn't know yet... Otherwise that would make me feel like more of an even worse person.

I pushed open the door to of the find Jakob strumming on the guitar, singing to himself  which sounded like one of our new original songs.

Jakob looked up as he facial expression changed in a matter of seconds, "Hey Ethan. Sorry mate, I'm really sorry about before-"

"Where's Chris?" I cut him off as I looked around the studio carefully.

"He left."

"To go where?"

"To walk home."

"By himself, in the storm?" I raised an eyebrow looking at Jakob curiously.

"Nah, with Jamie." He informed me.

"Jamie? She was here?" I growled, as I pushed my wet hair out of my face feeling the hairs on my body stand on end.

My mind began to race with questions.
