We went to a secluded part of the festival, which was hard to find, but we did. "So..what did you wan't to speak about?" Oli asked, his voice still made me smile, his accent was perfect. "I've decided I will forgive you" I smiled weakly, I just hoped I was making the right choice.

His face lit up "Are you sure?" he said excitedly as he jumped a little. I nodded my head and an even bigger smile showed on my face, as he came forward to hug me; I wrapped my arms around him too. It felt odd hugging Oli, but it also made me feel so warm and happy inside as cliché as that sounds.

"Thank you" he whispered into my ear. I didn't answer him but instead I broke off the hug and smiled at him once more. "Anyway, I should get back to boys" I said as I began stepping away, Oli's face dropped. "Hey, do you want to meet my band?" I asked, I thought I might as well introduce him to them, they hadn't heard any of my past that included Oli so it would be good for them so meet now that I'm friends with him, so they could see the real him.

"Uh, yeah sure" he hesitated but then agreed. He followed me around until I finally found my band. "Hey guy's this is Oli from Bring Me The Horizon" I said as I pointed towards Oli, he gave a little wave and said hi. "This is Jaym, Owen and George" I said whilst pointing to each member of my band.

They all got on pretty quickly as the day went on, various members of Oli's band joined us at some points in the day, but Oli stayed with us the whole day. I'm so glad the boys like him so that now I can have my old friend back without them all judging me.

By the time it was our set we had all grabbed a bite to eat and met more fans, Oli had wandered off somewhere by now, but I didn't mind when I was meeting fans, they were basically everything to us. We all got ready backstage, nerves were kicking in but I felt ready to perform for the second time at Download.

Half way through one of our songs I felt someone looking at me, then I saw Oli on the side of the stage out the corner of my eye;I felt a smile make its way across my face. After our last song I walked towards Oli on the side of the stage "Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked as we shared a quick hug. I then continued waiting for my answer. "Well, I saw you were on stage and also, were playing next" he replied. We talked for a while until it was their turn to go on "Good luck" I shouted after him as him and his band ran onto stage, I didn't have to stay and watch their performance but I still did anyway, I kind of wanted to.

I just hope that giving Oli a second chance to be in my life is the right choice..

On the last day of Download Festival we didn't have a set to play, so we just spent the time speaking to other bands and meeting a few fans along the way. It's so nice to have fans telling us how much we've changed their lives for the better.

After the best three days of my life, it was time to head home with the boys; this time I let George drive us home. We only managed to have a few days of rest before we were due to record a new single for our fans. We had all been thinking about it quite a lot, but after my experience of Download, I thought about writing lyrics to describe letting go of the past; the guys agreed even though they had no idea why I had the idea.

As fun as recording music is, it can be very tiring at times. Some days I would enter the studio after just quickly running to the pizza place and I would find all the boys nearly falling asleep in various places around the room; this was one of those times.

The smell of cheese pizzas filled the room as I set the box down on the table, we all ate the pizza and got back to recording. Our band manager, Keith walked into the studio and announced he had some very exciting news. "Guy's you guys are going to be touring around the united states as a support band!" He said. We all started cheering and we all felt very excited, until I realized that I didn't know who we were going on tour with. "Who's the band we're supporting Keith?" I asked him as I stopped cheering.

"A very lovely group of lads who go by the name of Bring Me the Horizon" He smiled at us all, the boys started running back to their instruments to continue recording, whilst I still stood there in shock. I know I should have felt happy and gleefully skipped back to my recording room where I practiced my singing; but I was just stuck in the same spot for ages.

Okay, so Oli and I get on well now, but that doesn't mean I can put up with him for however many weeks it's going to take, I thought he was clingy enough at Download, let alone having to spend more than three days with him like that. "Violet, aren't you going to record?" Owen said as he shook me out of my thoughts. I didn't want them to know about mine and Oli's past so I just turned and smiled at him, making my way back to my room to sing.

I didn't feel like singing anymore, I still don't feel like forgiving Oli was my right decision; I just hope he can prove me wrong. I sat there for at least twenty minutes with my face resting in my hands.
