Chapter 15 | The Visitor

Ethan's POV

My eyes were beginning to hurt from the lack of sleep I had got over the previous few days. Dark circles were beginning to appear under my eyes, and every time I rubbed them to try and get rid of them they'd only get worse and turn darker.

I wasn't sure what the exact cause of my sleeping problem was, but ever since the arrival of Jamie my mind had been a mess. I had been so shocked when she had arrived I had ignored her completely and had kept my distance to somewhat get my head straight, but this hadn't helped at all. In fact, I think I had only made the problem worse.

I hated it whenever I saw Chris or Jakob talking to her. It made me feel so... Argh. I just couldn't physically find a word in human vocabulary to describe how I felt towards Jamie right now at the current point in time, because every time she seemed to slip into my mind I wasn't sure what to make of it.

Like I felt like I had this reason to hate her, but honestly I didn't. How could I hate Jamie? Why would I even want to hate Jamie?

She purely beautiful, kind, honest and one-of-a-kind. Like you literally couldn't walk past her without feeling her happiness and positivity radiate onto you.

I had pretty much revealed all this to Jakob after soccer training the other day, and now wishing I could take it all back since I didn't know what he'd do with the information.

To be honest, I actually didn't really care if he he told anyone since ultimately it was the truth... But the only person I would actually be concerned with was if he told Emma. And apparently now Emma was best mates with Jamie, or so I heard...

Oh how life keep getting better and better - Note the sarcasm.

I thought exes and current girlfriends didn't really mix well together? Well I didn't think Emma knew that Jamie was my ex-girlfriend, well not yet anyway...

I had to make sure that news didn't find a way of making it to her, or drama was bound to break loose.

So naturally the week seemed to roll by with not too many complications or things that I had to worry about. I kept my distance from Jamie every time I saw her because I honestly didn't know what to say that would make anything better between the two of us.

Thank God it was the weekend though. I needed a break from everything- all the attention from X Factor, rehearsals and school.

Me and the boys had to get ready and prepare for England and Abu Dhabi soon, for the next round of X Factor since we were going there in two weeks time.

That was something I was looking forward to since I'd never actually travelled overseas before.

Like I could imagine myself and my wife and couple of kids going on holiday when I would probably be around thirty years old, but now it was becoming a reality and a literally had to pinch myself to convince that it was true.

While running over a million thoughts at a time, I had been playing video games downstairs for the whole afternoon uninterrupted when mum rung me up and told me that someone was coming over.

I was a big skeptical at first since she always liked to plan things ahead of time rather then on the actual day.

Dad was at work and Tahlia was at a friends which made this whole situation even more suspicious than it already was.
