Old Friends

MATT

2004

"We're going to be famous y/n. Big things are going to happen for the band, Oli says so."

I lie down on my bed and my best friend y/n flops down next to me. We'd been best friends since birth and everyone joked that we were like an old married couple. She kept me grounded and was my biggest supporter.

"You're going to sell thousands of albums and tour all over the world Matt. You're going to forget me when you become famous."

I scoff and take her hand in mine before squeezing it tightly.

"I'll never forget you y/n."

PRESENT DAY

"Hello internet it's me y/n and today I'm going to share my tattoo stories with you because you guys practically begged me in the comments..."

"Stalking her is creepy mate."

Oli slumped down next to me in the tour bus front lounge as I paused y/n's YouTube video. While Bring Me The Horizon had become famous y/n started making YouTube videos and had a big following. She had millions of subscribers and I was happy for her success, I just hoped she was happy for mine. She'd also reviewed all our albums but we hadn't talked face to face in years. I told her I'd never forget her, but when touring got busier I started to ignore her calls and texts. It was all my fault and now I stalked her YouTube channel too afraid to call her up.

"I guess I bought this on myself, Sykes, I ignored her and now I'm scared I'll bump into her now we're back home."

Oli slapped my back and sighed.

"Man up Nicholls, we all miss her."

I needed to man up, Oli was right.

Y/N

You love being back in Sheffield, you were up here visiting your family since you moved down to London a few years ago. However, you'd heard the Bring Me The Horizon boys were back in town and you were scared to bump into any of them. After Nicholls stopped talking to you, you started to ignore the rest of the band not wanting to be a hassle on them.

"That will be £5.60 love."

You pull out your purse and find yourself 60p short which was embarrassing since you made a pretty nice living off YouTube.

"Err sorry about this, let me just check my bag."

You start to root through your bag for loose change when the guy behind you clears their throat.

"Here let me pay."

Before you could stop him he handed the money to the barista paying for his own drink as well as yours. You grab your coffee and bagel and turn to face the kind stranger, only to nearly drop the coffee and bagel as you take in who's in front of you.

"Matt Nicholls."

"y/n."

The last person you expected to bump into was right in front of you. The years had changed both of you for the better, Nicholls was just as good looking as he was all those years ago though.

"It's good to see you again y/n. I follow your YouTube channel. I'm happy you're finally doing something you love and didn't let your parents pressure you into medical school."

You smile and feel yourself blush.

"Talk about yourself Mr That's The Spirit. Great album, I told you all those years ago you'd have great success, Matt."

Matt motions towards a free table and you both sit down. After all the years that had passed you assumed your first meeting would be awkward, but the conversation seemed to flow naturally like you'd never been apart. Maybe now he was back home for a bit the two of you could rebuild your friendship.
