The next morning, Y/N woke up feeling a little more determined. She grabbed her phone, hoping to find some motivation to start her day. As she scrolled through her notifications, she noticed a new video posted by Matt and his brothers on their YouTube channel. Her heart skipped a beat; she hadn't watched any of their videos since they had decided to take a break.

Curiosity got the better of her, and she tapped on the video. The familiar intro music played, and she was greeted by the cheerful faces of Matt, Chris, and Nick. They were doing a vid trying british food session, with their mother and father

As she watched, Y/N couldn't help but smile at their banter and jokes while trying the food. It felt comforting, like a piece of home. But then, towards the end of the video, their mother ask question on the screen:

"How's Y/N? I miss her already matt, is she okay?"

Matt's expression faltered for a moment. Y/N's heart clenched as she saw the look in his eyes.

Chris glanced at Matt, sensing his discomfort, and tried to steer the conversation away. "Y/N is focusing on her studies right now. She's doing great!" he said, trying to sound upbeat.

But Matt took a deep breath and decided to speak up. "Actually, I think it's time we're honest with you all," he said, his voice steady but sad. "Y/N and I decided to take a break from our relationship first because we're trying focus on our personal goals. It's been really tough, and we both miss each other a lot lately."

There was a silence that hung in the air. Nick and Chris exchanged uneasy glances but didn't interrupt.

Matt continued, his eyes reflecting the pain he felt. "I want you all to know that we didn't end things because we wanted to. We both agreed it was the best decision for now. Y/N means the world to me, and I support her in everything she does. I hope you can understand and continue to support both of us through this."

Y/N felt tears streaming down her face as she watched Matt pour his heart out. It hurt to see him so vulnerable, but it also reassured her to hear his words of support and love.

Chris chimed in, trying to lighten the mood. "We're all rooting for Y/N, and we know she's going to do amazing things. And who knows what the future holds, right?"

The video wrapped up with the brothers thanking their fans for their understanding and support. Y/N sat there for a moment, her emotions in turmoil. She appreciated Matt's honesty and felt a bittersweet sense of relief knowing that he was still rooting for her, even from afar.

Taking a deep breath, Y/N grabbed her phone and sent Matt a message. "I saw the video. Thank you for being honest. It means a lot to me. I'm still rooting for us, too."

A few minutes later, her phone buzzed with a reply. "Always, Y/N. We'll get through this. I believe in you."

With a small smile, Y/N wiped her tears away. She felt a renewed sense of strength and determination. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but with Matt's words echoing in her mind, she felt ready to face the challenges ahead. And maybe, just maybe, they would find their way back to each other, stronger and more united than ever before.

Months passed, and Y/N focused diligently on her studies, driven by the promise of a future where she and Matt could be together without any lingering doubts or distractions. The support from her friends and the encouraging messages from Matt kept her going. She aced her exams, and with each passing day, she felt more confident and proud of her achievements.

One evening, after her final exam, Y/N sat in her room, reflecting on how far she had come. Her phone buzzed with a message from Matt, congratulating her on finishing her exams. They had kept in touch sporadically, each message a reminder of the bond they still shared.

"Hey, Y/N. I'm so proud of you! I knew you could do it. When can we talk?"

Y/N smiled, feeling a warmth spread through her chest. She quickly replied, "Thanks, Matt. I'm free now. Want to video call?"

Within minutes, Matt's familiar face appeared on her screen, his eyes lighting up as he saw her.

"Y/N! You look amazing. How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine happiness.

"I'm relieved it's all over," Y/N admitted, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "I missed talking to you like this."

"Me too," Matt replied softly. "I've been thinking about you a lot. I know we needed this time apart, but it's been really hard."

"Yeah, it has," Y/N agreed, her heart aching at the memories of their time apart. "But I think it's made me realize how much you mean to me. I'm ready to be together again, if you are."

Matt's face lit up with a hopeful smile. "I've been ready, Y/N. I've missed you so much. But I understand if you can't visit right now. We'll make it work, no matter what."

Y/N nodded, feeling a mix of joy and relief. "I can't visit right away, but we can find ways to stay connected. Video calls, messages, and maybe you can visit me when you have a break?"

"Absolutely," Matt said eagerly. "I'll come see you as soon as I can. For now, we'll just have to be creative."

Over the next few weeks, Y/N and Matt fell into a new routine. They texted throughout the day, shared video calls in the evenings, and even watched movies together online. The distance still posed challenges, but their renewed commitment to each other made it easier to bear.

One evening, as they were talking, Matt had a surprise for Y/N. "I've been working on something," he said, a twinkle in his eye. "I wanted to show you in person, but I think you'll like this."

He held up a small box and opened it to reveal a necklace with a delicate pendant shaped like a heart. "I know we're apart, but I wanted you to have something to remind you that I'm always with you, no matter the distance."

Y/N's eyes filled with tears as she saw the necklace. "Matt, it's beautiful. Thank you so much. I'll wear it every day."

Matt smiled, his own eyes glistening with emotion. "I love you, Y/N. We're going to make this work, I promise."

"I love you too, Matt," Y/N replied, feeling a sense of peace and certainty. "No matter how far apart we are, we'll always find our way back to each other."

With that promise, they faced the future together, their love is more stronger and more resilient than ever before, knowing that nothing could keep them apart.

The end.
