Chapter 10: New Songs

"Ugh.." Ethan got up, he was squashed by Peter's sleeping body. 

Last night they celebrated, and numerous events happened in just one night. They all got drunk, Noah was crying and Ethan who tried alcohol in just three shots got knocked out.

'Damn, as Yohan I wouldn't even fall asleep with just one bottle..' His new body never tasted alcohol or was someone who was easily influenced by alcohol.

Ethan got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face, a mustache and glasses drawn by marker appeared on Ethan's face. "The heck?.." 

Ethan immediately used soap to take the markers off. He couldn't believe that the older ones would make fun of him. Ethan who finished wiping the drawings on his face saw that the others were still dead asleep.

"Hey, good morning," Henry who was smoking whilst sitting on the sofa said.

"Isn't it illegal to smoke inside?" Ethan asked.

"Well, the boss is dead asleep so it isn't that illegal," Henry replied and chuckled.

"By the way, I have something I want to talk about Henry," Ethan said.

"Sure what do you have in mind?" Henry replied.

"I have a few songs I want to record and for you to work on, would that be ok?" Ethan asked.

"Eh already?" Henry replied, it was normal for many musicians to create new songs or upload new songs, what was strange was that it had only been a day since the two record songs were released and yet Ethan was planning on making more or already creating another song.

"Yes?" Ethan replied confused at Henry's question.

"Ah well, why don't we start recording now? The others are still asleep." Henry said and in response, Ethan nodded his head.

"Ok, you can start now Ethan," Henry said and Ethan began.

"Take your eyes off of me so I can leave...I'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me.."

"This is never-ending, we have been here before but I can't stay this time 'cause I don't love you anymore.."

"Please, stay where you are, don't come any closer, don't try to change my mind...I'm being cruel to be kind."

"I can't love you in the dark It feels like we're oceans apart...There is so much space between us...Baby, we're already defeated"

"Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, everything changed me.."

"You have given me something that I can't live without, you mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt.."

"But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine, the longer we ignore it, all the more that we will fight.."

"Please, don't fall apart I can't face your breaking heart, I'm trying to be brave stop asking me to stay.."

"I can't love you in the dark It feels like we're oceans apart, there is so much space between us, baby, we're already defeated.."

"Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, everything changed me."

"We're not the only ones, I don't regret a thing every word I've said, you know I'll always mean it is the world to me that you are in my life, but I want to live and not just survive..."

Ethan paused for a moment, this part was where the instrumental took place.

"That's why I can't love you in the dark...It feels like we're oceans apart

There is so much space between us...Baby, we're already defeated.."

"Cause, ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, everything changed me.."

"And I-I-I-I-I don't think you can save me..."

Ethan who finished seeing raised his hand to give a thumbs up.

"Um...Uh...Good job Ethan.." Henry was flabbergasted, the amount of emotion and the sheer power of Ethan's voice added by his talent and creativity to create music was something unprecedented!

"I'm not done! I still have two songs!" Ethan said which made Henry even more shocked.

"Um...All right you can start now.." Henry sat back in his seat, this was blowing his mind. Not one, but three new songs?

Ethan immediately started with the second song.

"I heard that you're settled down...That you found a boy and you're married now.."

"I heard that your dreams came true...Guess he gave you things, I didn't give to you.."

"Old friend, why are you so shy? Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light..."

"I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited, but I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it, I had hoped you'd see my face, and that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over.."

"Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you, too.."

"Don't forget me, I beg I remember you said: Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead..."

"You know how the time flies, only yesterday was the time of our lives

we were born and raised in a summer haze, bound by the surprise of our glory days.."

"I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited but I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over.."

"Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you, too.."

"Don't forget me, I begged I remember you said sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

"Nothing compares, no worries or cares regrets and mistakes, they're memories made. Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?"

"Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you.."

"Don't forget me, I beg I remember you said sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

"Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you, too.."

"Don't forget me, I begged I remember you said sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead..."

As Ethan finished and got ready for the third song, Henry was shocked and kept looking at Ethan. This was the first time, the first time after working in the music industry that he found such talent!
