Broken Hearts & Forgotten Memories // Oliver Sykes [On Hold]

Chapter Three: We Stare At Broken Clocks

I just want to apologize for the crappy chapter I uploaded earlier. I wrote that under ten minutes because I was in a rush so I'm sorry. (/.\)

THAT GIF MAKES ME SO HAPPY. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STORY BUT OMFG IT'S PERF.

~Josh~  

"I'm going to go get some drinks." I announced as I stood up from the booth and started walking towards the bar. I looked over at the bartender and noticed something strangely familiar before. It felt like I had seen her before but I'm not exactly sure from where. Maybe she was at our concert last night? Who knows.  

"Excuse me, love." I said, pulling the familiar girl out of her thoughts. I took a quick moment to study her features. Her hair was cut shoulder length and black, she had tattoos on her shoulders, hands, arms and ~what was visible~ chest area and she had a nose piercing. Her eyes were a hazel/green color but still... there was something about her that gave off the vibe Lily would.  

"What would you like?" She asked, her voice also thick with a Sheffield accent. There's no way that this girl isn't Lily... I mean, the similarities are frightening, the only difference is her eyes are hazel/green and Lily's are brilliant blue. Even then, Lily's dead. At least, that's what the guys told me when they came home from their tour.  

Shrugging, I ordered the first thing I saw on the menu; which happened to be a plain burger and just a beer. The girl nodded, she quickly took my ordered and handed it to the guy working in the kitchen before walking back towards me. 

"I take it your from Sheffield?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her. I wanted to know as much as possible about this girl without seeming like a total creep. The girl said nothing but shrugged in response. "What's your name?" I asked.  

"Lily." She answered, I felt my body tense but I did my best to hide it from 'Lily'. Could it be that this is the same Lily from Sheffield? The same Lily who supposedly tried committing suicide six years ago and ended up dying at the hospital? No, that's impossible. Right?  

"Lily?" I repeated, raising an eyebrow. "I'm Josh, Josh Franceschi." I introduced myself, doing my best to send her a friendly smile. Silence washed over us but I was too busy staring at her to notice until she finally asked me why I was staring at her.  

"What's your last name?" I asked, ignoring her first question.  

"White. Liliana White." She answered.  

My eyes widened in shock, "Holy shit." I muttered under my breath. I quickly got up from the stool and ran towards the guys. They were all drinking and having a good time but they weren't too drunk. I knew I had to tell him about my suspicion.  

"Matt!" I shouted once I reached the booth, Matt was the closest one to me and he didn't seem like he was too intoxicated.  

Matt looked up at me, a looked of confusion marked his expression. "What's wrong, Josh?" He asked.  

I said nothing but motioned over to Lily who was staring at us with a confused look on her face. I'm absolutely fucking positive that, that's fucking Lily. But how? How the hell is this possible? Didn't Lily die? Were the guys lying? No, that wouldn't make sense. Why would they lie about something like that? They knew how broken Oli was after he found out about Lily's death, why would they keep something so big a secret? It doesn't make sense.  

"What about her?" Matt asked, his eyes flickered over to Lily, back to me, over to Lily and finally, back to me.  

"That's Lily. Liliana fucking White." I hissed. I watched at Matt's eyes widened in shock.  

"How? I thought she died at the hospital six years ago." He questioned, obviously not beliving that I had just talked to my 'dead' best friend.  

Sighing, I ran my fingers through my hair and looked over at Lily. Her attention was turned to a costumer who was ordering something. I couldn't take my eyes off her. I know that it's her, I fucking know it. It has to be her. I know, the possibility of other girls being named 'Liliana White' is high but, there's something about her. Something that makes me refuse to believe that it's just some girl who 'coincidentally' has the same name and features as Lily. 

Ignoring Matt's questioning look, I walked back towards Lily and apologized for leaving her. Chuckling, she shook her head and sent me a friendly smile. "Um, this may be weird but, can I have your number?" I asked. Damn, it probably seems like I'm flirting with her but there's no way in Hell I'm doing that. I have a beautiful girlfriend waiting for me back in Sheffield and I can't wait to see her in four days.

"Sure." Lily smiled, she pulled out her phone and handed it to me. I quickly put in my number before handing it back to her.  

"I put it under Josh. Promise to text me tomorrow?" I asked, although it was more of a statement rather than a question.  

"Alright, I promise." She said before checking the time on her phone, "My shifts over but how about we hang out tomorrow?" She suggested.  

"Sounds good. Text me so you can tell me where we can meet up." I said. Lily nodded in response. We said our goodbyes and I started walking back towards the guys. Matt seemed to be pissed drunk now so I knew I couldn't tell him about anything else.  

What if this girl really is Lily? What if she never actually died and it was all a big misunderstanding? Fuck, how's Oliver going to react? Am I even going to tell him? Wait, what am I saying? Of course I'm going to tell him! He's so broken without Lily and it hurts to see him this way. I just want him to be happy again.  

"Oi, Josh, you alright, mate?" Dan slurred, his breath reeked of cheap alcohol.  

Nodding, I forced a smile and grabbed my beer from the table. I chugged the drink and smiled widely once I finished.  

Tomorrow, I'll find out if that girl truly is Lily.
