Unrequited Love {e.k}

1. "i love it when you smile like that"

{Ethan's pov}
Gala.

I watch her as she jumps up and down, flipping her hair around everywhere.

Her smile grows wider as our eyes connect and i sing the lyrics to one of our new songs perfect 10.

Its Gala's favourite and i laugh as she sings every single word.

I glance to my left to see Jakob and Chris dancing and smiling as we look onto the hundreds of people who had come to watch us perform.

Who would of thought that a few months after leaving the X Factor we would end up here!

"Thankyou so much for coming out guys!" I yell into my microphone as our show comes to an end.

"We will be coming back out to meet you all soon so dont go anywhere" chris yells with the biggest smile i have ever seen.

"Cant wait to meet all of you beautiful people" jakob yells before we all run of stage jumping around filled with energy.

I high five a few of the crew before im finally backstage in the 'vip area' or thats what they call it although its just a small lounge big enough for the 3 of us, a large mirror and a door that led out to the bar.

Being on stage is like an escape for me.

When im up their singing along with the crowd it makes me feel like i can do anything and that feeling is all i need right now.

Being on stage gives me and the rest of the boys a purpose and we couldnt be any more grateful for our thousands of fans who make our dreams possible.

No one in the room says anything we all just sit there, smiles on our faces, just thinking about how happy we were in that moment.

"Ethan?" I hear a familiar, high pitched voice whisper.

"Gala! Hey baby" i say, embracing gala and smelling in the sweet smell of her perfume.

I dont know what it is about the word baby but i really dont like it although Gala says that it sounds 'cute' so i just call her that.

"Sorry im really sweaty" i say blushing.

"Its fine, seriously, you still look amazing" Gala says while flipping my fringe the right way.

"Thanks" i say as we sit on the floor in the corner talking about my performance.

"So did i do a good job?" I ask, nervously.

"Personally" Gala began.

Oh no.

She hated it.

Im never singing again.

Why did i even think i could sing on stage.

I always knew that i was the weak one of the group.

The thoughts were racing through my mind and my hands started to shake.

"Ethan its okay, i was going to say that personally i thought vocally, it was your best performance yet" Gala said a cute smile forming on her face.

"I love it when you smile like that" i said gently touching her dimples.

Why did i do that?

"What do you mean?" Gala asked, a little confused.

"Well you always smile but that smile is a genuine smile. You look so happy and carefree, its cute" i say.

Wow Ethan way to hit a girl right in the feels.

Gala shly giggled while putting her head down so i couldnt see the shade of pink forming on her cheeks.
