authors note— (must read)
so i'm not sure if many people noticed, but i accidentally deleted chapter 41.
it's alright though because that chapter was mainly the reason why i had my writers block, i had no idea how to carry on from it.
so let's all just forget about that whole chapter and pretend they never went to new york 😭

anyways, here's the long awaited next chapter. enjoy :)

Maddy's pov

I sit up, sweat covering my body and my breathing was shaky.

I take a few breaths to calm myself down and remind myself that it's just a dream. A dream about a real situation...but this time it was a dream.

I'm in my bed, in my home and far away from him.

"Fucking hell." I mumble to myself as I wipe my hands down my face.

I've had this dream too many times now for me to be waking up in a sweat still.

Ripping my blankets off my sweat covered body, I slowly creep across the dark room and to the door, opening it while making sure to be silent, and heading to the bathroom.

Flicking on the light, I look in the mirror and see my flushed face and knotted hair. I looked a mess. Turning the tap on, I cup the water in my hands and splash my face letting the cool water refresh me.

After drying my hands, I leave the bathroom and go back to my room. I fall down onto my bed and reach blindly onto the side table for my phone. The light blinds me for a moment as I turn it on but once my eyes adjust, I read the time as 3:27am.

My wallpaper catches my eye. It was a photo I took of Vinnie. I've been staring at it for the past week that we haven't seen eachother and every time I glance at it, my heart hurts.

His words haven't left my mind at all. It's all I think about.

'You're too much for me. I don't even know why I asked you out in the first place. Guess I was just bored.'

But he was wearing my bracelet I made him...

Snap out of it, Maddy.

I shake my head, ridding myself of the thought of him and roll over.

I wake up to the sound of a bang on my door.

"Yeah?" I ask from under the covers.

"Someone's here to see you, darling." Mum says through the door.

My mind shamefully goes straight to the thought of Vinnie coming to see me but when I pull the covers off my head and watch the door open, the blonde hair makes me raise an eyebrow.

"Jack? What're you doing here?" I ask, flattening out my hair as I sit up, trying to look slightly presentable.

"Hey Maddy." He says softly as he closes the door behind him.

"I don't want to be rude, but why are you here?" I ask.

"I just wanted to see how you're going. I mean, no one's really heard from you in over a week. Vinnie—"

"I don't want to hear about Vinnie." I interrupt.

"That's the thing, Maddy," he sighs. "He's worried about you." He crosses his arms, looking at me with a sad look.
