Set It Off

Is This The End?

5 YEARS LATER

THE ALBUM SEMPITERNAL WAS A TOTAL HIT, FEAUTURING THE SONGS 'CAN YOU FEEL MY HEART' AND 'THE HOUSE OF WOLVES' WRITTEN BY OLIVER TO HIS SECRET LOVER 

YOU ME AT SIX MADE YET ANOTHER AMAZING TOUR FEATURING THE SONG 'CRASH' THAT IS MOSTLY KNOWN FOR IT'S BACK STORY ABOUT CHEATING, ACCORDING TO OUR INSIDER

J O S H

It's been a few rough years since I graduated. I became depressed and only ever showed my emotions in the songs I wrote. Dan liked them so much he talked me into starting a band with him and a few others of my college friends. We were pretty big, at least in London. We've done a few world tours and played at a few festivals and things were so far going great, until last week. We are up to perform live on the AP Awards stage. Kellin said that it was my chance to finally dedicate my song 'Crash' to Oliver, since he was going to be there too with his band. I hope he's been okay these years. I hope he's happy with Matty or who ever he's dating now. 

"Josh are you ready? We're on in three" Max slapped me on the bum and I laughed. I was wearing the Vans shirt Oliver bought me five years ago. It wasn't as loose as it was back then but it still fitted nicely. It's kind of been my signature shirt when I'm going to perform Crash, it's a bad habit you could say. We greeted all the bands we passed by as we made our way to the AP stage, Jordan even waved at me, which was a pleasant surprise. 

"Alright lads, let's do this" I hihg fived them all before we entered on to the stage, being greeted by screams and waving hands. I waved back to the crowd and asked how they were doing. "This song is called Crash and I wrote this when I was 19 and depressed. I hope you like it, if you know it please sing along" I smiled as the cheers and screams grew louder at the mention of Crash, I almost forgot to dedicate it to someone . "Oh and it's dedicated to my ex boyfriend, Oliver Sykes" the crowd gre even wilder again and I smirked a little, knowing that Oliver had heard every single word I just said. 

I sang the song, rather perfectly if you ask me and we sang only one other song before we had to let BMTH on stage. We passed each other on stage, giving each other high fives and quick bro hugs for the sake of the fans. I didn't touch Oliver though, I only nodded his way. 

"Hi, we're Bring Me The Horizon and today we'll perform Can You Feel My Heart, written by me to my ex boyfriend Josh Franceschi. I hope you fucking enjoy" Oliver's deep voice was like music to my ears, his voice had gotten a lot more masculine and he has been training a lot more since the last time I saw him. He was gorgeous and I hated myself for ever hurting his feelings.

While they were performing I went to the snack table and drank a few beers, not feeling comfortable being sober around my ex. 

"You might want to slow down on these before you hook up with some redhead again" Olivers voice spoke behind me and I chuckled, turning around to face the beauty. He was in a grey suit with a red shirt underneath, it suited him well. 

"Hah, do you really think you have the right to say that? After all that shit talk about us getting engaged and then posting a picture of you kissing Matty? I guess we both have a thing for redheads" 

"I guess we do" Oliver took the beer from me and downed what was left in it. "I just want you to know that I'm sorry. Matty posted that picture. And I promise you it was a picture from when we were dating, like seven years ago"

"What about that message?" I questioned him, he frowned.

"What message? You we're the one who broke up with me?" 

"Uh no," I said and unlocked my phone to show him a screenshot I took five years ago of our conversation. "You clearly did" I felt silly for saving a screenshot for so long but I always hoped I would get to show it to him someday and I got to.

"Fuck, I promise I didn't send you that" I shrugged, not sure if I believed him or not but not really caring at the same time. "I also came to tell you that I saw you push that redhead girl away when she kissed you. I know I should've called or texted but so many other theories stopped me from actually asking you what had happened that night. And I'm sorry" 

"Oliver," I threw away the empty beer bottle in a trashcan that stood next to me. 

"Yeah?"

"Do you still love me?" 

"I don't think I ever stopped loving you" he whispered and I finally met his eyes. The dark brown I used to know was now a light whiskey colour and his hair was so long it almost covered his whole beautiful face. I wish I could call him mine.
