Song: Come As You Are by Nirvana

~Oliver~  

Once I got comfortable as one possibly can when sitting in an airplane seat, I took out my Ipod, plugged in my headphones and stared out of the airplane window. Nirvana blocking off the noise around me. Honestly, if there's one thing I hate the most, it definitely has to be these god awful plane rides. Thankfully, Matt Kean is sitting down next to me so I don't have to worry about sitting to some annoying stranger.  

I leaned back in the seat and began growing more tired as the minute slowly dragged by. Soon, I found myself falling into a well needed sleep.

I looked around the unfamiliar area and frowned slightly. I recognized the street as the same street where the venue in Seattle was located in. The streets empty, the sky was dark and there was no other person in sight.  

Suddenly, I heard a painfully familiar voice softly calling my name from behind me. Turning around, my breathing hitched once I saw her beautiful face. Lily's beautiful face. She looked back at me with a wicked smirk.  

Without thinking, I began walking towards her. I wanted nothing more but to be able to hold her again. To kiss her soft lips again and to have her in my arms again. Just as I was a few feet away from her, I reached out my hand to grab her but she slipped away. I looked at her with hurt in my eyes but saw pure happiness in hers.  

Again, I tried walking towards her but the closer I got, the farther she seemed to be getting. The feeling of having her only inches away from me and not being able to touch her was driving me insane. Lily turned around and began walking away from me. I stood there, confused but eventually ended up following her.  

I turned the corner where she had gone to earlier and froze once I saw the heart breaking sight before me. Lily was standing a few feet in front of me, but she wasn't alone. Ben had her pressed up against the wall, his hands were placed on her hips and their lips were pressed against each others.  

"Lily..." I chocked out, tears were now streaming down my cheeks, "I'm sorry Lily."  

She pulls away from Ben's kiss and look over at me with a confused expression. She opens her mouth to say something but I cut her off, "Please, Lily, I'm sorry. I love you, please." I plead, all I wanted for her to know was that I was sorry for all the heartbreak I caused her, and that I loved her.  

Lily's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "Do I know you?" She asks.  

My eyes widen in shock. How can she not know me? "It's me, Oli. Remember me?" I ask, my voice cracking during the process. It hurts me that she doesn't know who I am. I love her, how can she forget me? 

Lily opens her mouth to say something but this time, Ben cuts her off by erupting in a mocking laugh. "You idiot," He snaps, now glaring angrily at me, "She's gone through enough already. You were stupid enough to drop her fragile heart. It's too late to ask for forgiveness, Oliver. She need a real man in her life, now."  

~*~ 

My eyes shot open as I woke up from my horrible nightmare. My fingers brush over my cheeks and I realize that I am crying. I look down at my hands and see that I am still shaking from the terrible dream.  

I look over at Matt and notice that he's staring at me with a concerned expression. "Are you alright, mate?" He asks. Gulping, I nod and rest my head back on the uncomfortable airplane seat. Matt nods, "Well, get your shit together because we just arrived in Sheffield." He tells me.  

Sighing quietly, I nod as I begin to shove my Ipod back inside the pocket of my jeans.  

We had just left the plane about five minutes ago and now, we're looking around for the people that were here to pick us up. The first person to spot us was the tall blonde, also known as Chris, Lee's girlfriend.  

After about ten minutes, everyone was kissing or hugging their girlfriend or fiance while I was just awkwardly looking around the airport. My thoughts raced back to the nightmare I had on the airplane. The look in Lily's eyes when I had told her that I loved her was absolutely heart breaking. It was as if she truly did not remember me. It hurt, a lot.  

Once more, I scanned the airport until I saw something that made my blood begin to boil. Josh, he was standing a good forty feet away from us. Although, his arms were wrapped around someone's waste and his lips were pressing against hers.
