Ethan (bandmate)
Ethan's world is shattered when his boyfriend Liam dies, leaving him lost and broken. Two years later, you join Ethan's band, filling Liam's spot and reminding Ethan painfully of his past love. As you and Ethan grow closer, Ethan struggles to open his heart again as he sees Liam in you.The warm evening air caresses our skin as we stroll back from band practice, guitars slung over our shoulders. I strum a few chords, humming along to the melody as we walk, lost in the simple joy of the moment. Your laughter rings out, bright and carefree, and I can't help but smile. These stolen moments with you are the highlight of my day, the one thing that makes the pain of the past bearable.
As we turn down a quiet side street, you walk ahead, your silhouette bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun. I watch you, admiring the way your hair catches the light, the easy grace of your movements. My heart swells with affection, and I quicken my pace to catch up to you.
But then, as you turn to smile at me, I freeze. For a split second, your face morphs into Liam's, and I feel like I've been punched in the gut. "Liam..." I whisper, my voice cracking. My nails dig into the neck of my guitar, the strings snapping under the pressure.
I blink, and you're back to normal, your eyes wide with concern. I can't breathe. The ghost of Liam lingers in my mind, taunting me with the memories of our love, of the future we should have had.
