"I don't think I'm ready for this," I shout over the screaming fans. "being here again, seeing him again."
kelly pats me on the back. "you'll be fine. and don't even try to say you don't know the songs off this album, I know you do." she's right, I do.

"you ready?" hann asks.
"psh, I'm always ready." I say, brushing him off. it's our first show of the American leg of the tour, and the boys and I decided to start it off in D.C. maybe she's here. oh who am I kidding, there's no way she's here. she doesn't care enough. does she?
"you're on, matty," the tech guy yells. "good luck."
"I'm probably gonna need it."
"hi everybody, I'm matty and we're the 1975. welcome to the 2 tour. have a grand time, alright?" the crowd replies with an ungodly roar. "we've got mostly songs from our new album, but we're gonna play some others too." I say into the mic, hoping for the best. "we always end with You, so we figured, why not start with it?" the crowd screeches and cheers. that's a good sign.
"and you're a liar, at least all of your friends are. but so am i, typically drowned in my car." I start. this'll be good.
"and it's not my fault that I fucked everybody here, yeah it takes a bit more." the whole theater is screaming along. this is all I've ever longed for in my life. well, except her.

"she restates my name, and I see the light come around, strange as it seems, I'm bursting at the seams, and oh I've got a woman now." every being in the room turns the flashlight on their phone and sways to the beat. this is what happy looks like. "her wallet photos don't turn me on, and I feel her hand come around. her stone washed denim jeans are darker than they seem. and oh I've got a woman now."
and at that moment, I see her.
