Ethan

It was gym time and I was changing in the locker room. The scent of AXE and Degree deodorant reigned supreme in the atmosphere.

I was about to tug on my shirt when Ashton walked up to me.

"I saw you walking Evelyn to class." He said.

I arched my eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.

"What the hell are you trying, bro? To take her away from me? You just decide to jump up and defend her all of a sudden?" He said.

Wait. What?

"Why would you think that, Ash? I don't even like her...like that." I said.

He came closer to me and jabbed his finger at my chest. "Listen, Ethan. Back off from what's not yours."

And with that, he walked away.

Great. It's only Monday and my best friend's pissed off at me.

I avoided Evelyn for the rest of the day until I went home. I walked the short distance, my earbuds blasting.

I listened intently to the words, deciphering their meaning.

'I regret that I told the world
That you were with me
And I regret how I showed the world
That you were pretty
I never thought I'd learn so much
So much from being lonely
But I guess I didn't learn enough
'Cause now you won't hold me

I guess I got lost in the moment
I guess I got lost in the fall
I guess I got lost in your heartbeat
In the thrill of it all
And I guess you were goddamn perfect

'Cause every single time you call
I remind myself of what I lost that night
My love
In the thrill of it all
In the thrill of it all

Even though we weren't in love
It was far from lust
Yeah, you were beautiful
But in you I could trust
Others they warned my heart
They said I would lose fast
They say that you were stopping ground
And soon to be my past

I guess I got lost in the moment
I guess I got lost in the fall
I guess I got lost in your heartbeat
In the thrill of it all
And I guess you were goddamn perfect

'Cause every single time you call
I remind myself of what I lost that night
My love
In the thrill of it all
In the thrill of it all

And I guess you were goddamn perfect
'Cause every single time you call
I remind myself of what I lost that night
My love
I remind myself of what I lost that night
My love
I remind myself of what I lost that night
My love
In the thrill of it all.'
