Oh We almost got away, we cut it close The city's getting loud If I choke, it's only 'cause I'm scared to be alone Been trying to work it out, you should know I would do whatever you wanted We don't have to leave the apartment Met you at the right time This is what it feels like Living in a movie I've watched and Funny 'cause I couldn't have called it Met you at the right time This is what it feels like Oh The train was cold, we left Connecticut We stayed a couple hours Our clothes matched enough to throw me off a bit Your phone was playing "Towers" and I I would do whatever you wanted We don't have to leave the apartment Met you at the right time This is what it feels like Living in a movie I've watched and Funny 'cause I couldn't have called it Met you at the right time This is what it feels like And I need you sometimes We'll be alright Met you at the right time This is what it feels like And I miss you some nights We'll be alright Met you at the right time This is what it feels like I would do whatever you wanted We don't have to leave the apartment Met you at the right time This is what it feels like
third person six months after
at the six month point, brooke had started to feel like she needed to experience this break up with matt in order to write the songs she did and in order to have the success she's had. to her, it felt like she met him at the right time, and for more reasons than she could imagine. she experienced love, loss, friendship, and so much more in their three years together.
she didn't quite know what stage of moving on this was, because what other person thinks their ex was the reason behind their success?
her songs were relatable and real, and her fans loved that. nobody knew who they were about, for many artists write songs based on many experiences or can create scenarios in their head. but for brooke, all her songs were completely real, completely raw.
today, she had an interview with a radio station to discuss her new song before it aired live. standing outside of the building, she couldn't believe she had made it. she was becoming known.
back in boston, the triplets were sitting in the van, preparing to film a video. it was thursday night, and they needed tomorrow's car video. they were waiting for the parking lot to clear out more before they started, as nick hated when there were a lot of people around.
"hey, matt. quick question for ya." nick said quietly, making eye contact with chris. chris just shrugged, not really knowing what to do. because the two of the three followed brooke on instagram, they knew she was going live on the radio, and they wanted to listen to support their friend, even if they weren't talking as much anymore. matt noticed the looks between his brothers, "what?"
"all you, buddy!" nick said, patting chris's shoulder. chris opened his mouth to yell at nick, but instead figured he should just say it. "brooke's airing a new song today, in like two minutes she's doing an interview on the radio to announce it. nick and i wanted to listen, but we get it if you don't."
matt just shrugged, "go for it."
nick and chris looked at each other, not knowing whether or not they actually should. matt had been much better recently, and the last thing they wanted was for him to move backwards. matt caught the looks once again, "i don't care, i don't mind. i can't run from her forever."
chris nodded, putting on the station.
"helllo, welcome to kiss 108! we're going to be taking a brief break from your favorite pop hits to talk to one of los angeles's newest sensation, brooke taylor!"
"hi everyone! thanks so much for having me!" brooke spoke, and matt took a deep breath. "so, brooke, you have a new song airing after this, how excited are you for this one?"
"to be honest, i'm super excited. this is probably one of my favorite songs i've written so far."
"why is that?"
"it's pretty meaningful to me, it brings me back to boston, back to everything i had before i moved. i've come to realize that without everything i've experienced, i wouldn't be half of the singer and writer i am today."
"why do you think people enjoy your music? because i have to admit, they're very well written."
"well, i think that's just it. my songs are real, based on real feelings, real emotions. people love songs they can relate to."
"is there anyone in particular these are about?" the interviewer asked, making matt stop breathing for a moment. he didn't know what brooke would say, of course he knew they were about him, but nobody else did. brooke laughed slightly, "yes, there is. but out of respect for them, i'm going to keep that part hidden. all i'll say is that it's someone i love, but sometimes you have to make choices in life. and i chose to follow my dream."
"and they didn't respect that?"
"no, they did. i think he wanted me to chase my dreams just as much as i did. life just takes people in different directions sometimes, and unfortunately that's what happened." brooke answered. matt put on a show, pretending he wasn't upset, for he didn't want nick and chris to see her words affected him. "alright, well, thanks for joining us today!"
"of course! thanks for having me!" matt could hear the smile on her face through the words. he was beyond happy that she was living her dream, but he couldn't help but wonder what could have been. "now, stay listening, because coming right up is brooke taylor's new song!"
"we don't have to listen to the song if you don't want to," nick began, quickly being cut off by matt. "bro, it's fine. let's just listen to it."
