She said the air is so clean. (Matty Healy fanfic)

22

I wake up underneath a large blanket draped over several chairs. Matty is laying partially on me and partially on George. Adam is no where to be found. I climb out of the fort and look around for my cigarettes and phone. I walk out to the balcony and light my cigarette. I take my phone out. Its 6am, so its 9am in Virginia. I dial Michael.

"Julie!!" He answers groggily

"Hey." I take a drag of my cigarette. "Im flying out later tonight, can I stay with you?"

"Of course. Just let me know when you're going to be landing. Everyone is going to moms tonight for dinner, so.." He trails off and I hear him light a cigarette.

"Okay. And um, I'm bringing my boyfriend." I say it cautiously, he has a shit temper.

"I saw him on your post. Does he make you happy?" He asks sincerely making me smile.

"Very. Hows your love life?" I giggle.

He laughs back. "Different girl every night. Mom and dad wont like him." He sighs.

"I know, his name is Matty by the way. I dont want you to be confused when you meet."

"Ill call mom and dad and let them know, call Ellis." He says.

"I'll call mom and dad, I feel like I should tell them." I put my cigarette out.

"I love you Jules."

"I love you too dude." We both laugh and I hang up.

"Who was that?" Matty says tiredly and wraps his arms around my hips.

"Michael. One call down, two to go." I frown slightly. "Were going to eat dinner at my parents, as long as you and them, are both good with that." I sigh and play with his hands. His head rests on my shoulder.

"As long as thats what you want. What time should I book the flight?" He asks then kisses my neck sweetly.

"Whenever. I want to show my parents not everyone im with is an asshole loser, so you shall meet them." I giggle.

He spins me around and kisses me sweetly. "Im going to make some breakfast, and tea. Ill call you i when its done."

I nod and kiss him on his cheek. "I love you Healy."

"I love you too, Teller." He smiles and walks back inside.

After sitting for a few minutes and smoking another cigarette, I pick up my phone and dial my dads number, we always got along better than me and my mom.

"Hello stranger." I can hear his joy.

"Hi daddy." I giggle. "I have a surprise."

"Im terrible with surprises, dont want to give a heart attack." He laughs, a familiar chuckle that makes me so happy.

"Im flying out today to visit. I already called Michael and he said its okay if we stay with him." I explain.

"We? Who else is coming?"

"Matty, my boyfriend. Michael said we would be eating at your place, so I was just making sure that alright." I sigh, feeling a little homesick but at the same time regretting all of this.

"Im excited to meet him, Im sure I can embarrass you." He laughs. "Of course you can eat here, hell you can stay in your old room. We never changed anything about it. How long will you be here?"

"About a week, then were going out to London for some of his work. Ill let him explain when were there."

Right then Matty comes back out onto the balcony.

"J, breakfast is ready. Do you want coffee?" He speaks gently since im on the phone.

"Yeah, coffee sounds great. Ill be in, in just a moment. Let me say bye to my dad." I smile and kiss him on the cheek.

"You're with him now? And he's English?" My dad laughs. "Better go eat your food, love you sugar bear."

"Yes im with him, and yes he is English. You're full of questions. Love you too daddy, see you soon." I smile then hang up.

"Will you bring it out here, I've got to call Ellis." I shout to Matty.

"Yeah, ill be there as soon as your coffee is done." He shouts back.

I dial Ellis.

"Hello." I hear a female voice, must be his wife.

"Hello Carri, its Juliette. Is El around?"

I hear some noise in the background and then she speaks to me. "He's right here, how are you?"

"Im actually happy. Im flying out today." I explain for the third time today.

Matty brings out a plate of eggs and toast and a cup of coffee. He sets it on the small table and sits across from me.

"Oh! Im so excited to see you, i saw your new boyfriend on Instagram. Boyfriend right?  He seems famous." She giggles.

I smirk at Matty and eat some eggs. "Im excited to see you too! Yes boyfriend, and he's slightly famous. He sings." I laugh.

"Heres Ellis, see you soon." She giggles and I can hear her hand the phone to him.

"Hello Jules." He says casually.

"Im flying there later today." I say simply. "Carri knows some detail, so just ask her."

"Okay. Have a safe flight. I miss you."

"Ill try, see you soon. Love you." I giggle.

"I know. Good bye." Then he hangs up.

"All done with the calls, now you have to hold up your end." I smile at Matty and take a sip of my coffee.

"After I pack I will." He smiles at me. "You're beautiful."

"So are you." I giggle.
