a/n: hello lovies! so i promised that i would be back and leave you with a bonus chapter i wrote awhile ago before i left. so here it is!! i hope you all enjoy and i love you all so much! make sure to follow me on my other account if you want to stay in touch!
—SUPER SPOILERS FOR THE SECOND BOOK! READ AT YOUR RISK LOVIES! —
summary: so this chapter is going to take place with aurora and ethan! i feel like when i started &burn i didn't give much background to what happened to ethan and aurora's relationship. and i wasn't sure if i should have put this bonus chapter on the second book: &burn. but i am deciding to keep all my bonus chapters on this story! but anyways let me continue with what i'm writing about sorrrryyyy i'm ranting. it's during the end of the relationship with ethan and aurora. a time where they both realize that their relationship isn't good or was never really good.
also i'm writing in this the third person?? i don't think i've ever done that but i really want you to feel both of the character's emotions!
also listen to the song down to earth by umi! i was listening to it when i was editing and i feel like it really explains their emotions and goes with the chapter : )

"hey, aurora, it's ethan. well you know it's ethan, unless you've blocked my number again-" he pauses, the cellphone was still pressed hard against his ear but is removed for a moment as he screws his eyes shut from agitation. "i'm calling you." he states. "again." he adds. "and i just need you to pick up the phone or text me. tell me where you're at so we can talk." ethan looks around the room as the last few words uttered soften. "yeah, just call me back." he ends the voicemail with that, setting the device down on his bed.
his hands are running through the locks of messy, brown hair. as he sighs deeply he lets himself fall back onto the mattress of his bed. after a moment he sits up again to pull his shirt over his head. god, was his head spinning. and not from anything good this time. instead his evening was spent in his dorm replaying the images of his girlfriend's anger. the sounds of her screams mixed with whimpers were still ringing in his ears. and it was even more miserable having to imagine what she was hearing in her own mind. he checked his phone again once he changed out of his jeans and into sweatpants he could go to bed in.
no messages once again. ethan was contemplating whether he should call, once again. "come on aurora." he mumbles as he stares at the screen for another minute, hoping that maybe he could spiritually influence her to call him. "fuck this." he curses to himself as he is pushing himself out of bed. his legs are moving with determination before he knows it and he is stomping his way right to the girl's dormitory.
his thoughts all jumbled up with different voices putting in their own opinions on the situation. and when he can finally calm them down he is knocking rapidly at the door. silent prayers are being said that aurora would be the one to answer it. "what the fuck is up?" the person's words were hostile, seeming to be very annoyed at whoever disturbs them. "oh, ethan." cora is noting to herself as she takes in his presence.
"hey cora."
"what are you doing violating my poor door at this time of night?" a yawn escapes her lips at the end of her question.
"is aurora here?" he asks, ignoring what she says a few seconds ago. and from the slight waver in her eyes, it made it him believe she had to know something to help him.
"depends." she says. "you guys fighting again?"
"come on," ethan groans. "don't fuck around with me." he states. a hand going to pull on his hair in frustration. "i just need to talk to her."
