- 2 and a half years later.
"You ready!" Anna yelled
"Yes mate!" I yelled back
I quickly run downstairs,
A lot has changed in my lift in those years,
Anna snd i both moved out of the apartment and got ourselves our own apartment, it was time to mature and things were getting serious with Zachary, real serious.
He proposed to her.
I was happy for them.
And for me? I moved on, I didn't think about Van 24/7 anymore and to be honest? I'm doing better now.
But that was what he asked me to do right?
I got my bag and saw Anna waiting by the door "you finally ready?" She sighed "oh shut up you" I chuckled walking out
We were going to an festival,
Reading and Leeds festival.
We got a taxi and waited to arrive there.
"I'm so excited!" I said she smiled at me and nodded "me too!" She exclaimed
We got out of the taxi, paid and walked to the field.
I was smiling the whole time.
Matty was performing tonight,
Me and matty were on good terms.
We saw each other nearly every weekend so that was fine.
I haven't got a boyfriend, maybe in the future again.
We grabbed a beer and stood there
I looked around "who's up next?" I asked
"Wolf Alice" a man behind me said
I nodded and thanked him.
"And after that?" Another guy asked the man
"A great band called Catfish and the bottlemen, mate you should check 'em out!" The man said
they really made it?
- flash back
"Mate i swear we are going to reading and Leeds someday!" Van yelled to bondy
"Reading and Leeds? Van are you feeling alright mate?" Bondy chuckled
"I promise ya!" Van said
I smiled at him, "Lilly?" He said "yes?" I asked "you'll be there right? When we perform?" He asked I nodded "ofcourse I'll be there" I smiled
I looked at the ground,
"You alright?" Anna asked "yeah mate I'm just a little tired" I whispered she nodded
I sighed and smiled at her
We made our way to the main stage and got s pretty good spot.
"Catfish and the bottlemen!" The guy yelled who was standing on stage.
First bondy came on, he was pretty much looking the same.
Then Bob walked on stage, he's hair changed a bit but not that much.
Then Benji, he's hair also changed, but he's face was still the same.
Then van came on, his hair got a bit longer, his face also matured lots.
I clapped as the people around me did
"Hello! We are catfish and the bottlemen thanks for having us, absolute pleasure thank you so much!" He yelled in the microphone.
I looked at him "you miss him?" Anna asked I shook my head "sometimes, I'm okay now, I'm over it" I whispered in her ear she nodded and smiled at me
"This is rango!" He yelled
I looked at them, damn they did good.
After a couple songs i saw van looking into the crowd for a bit drinking some water.
I swallowed,
He didn't see me.
"Thank you so much for having us! This is our last song it's called tyrants!" He said
"Nothing's alright believe me" he sang
Just a second moments later he saw me.
We made eyes contact.
He smiled, and it was a smile that said 'I'm fine' he was okay, I could tell, he looked better, no more bags under his eyes, he nodded and gave me a smile.
I nodded back and smiled.
I really believed he was okay.
The song ended and they all looked into the crowd,
I looked at him seeing he was looking at me
He mouthed "thank you" at me and smiled at me
I nodded and mouthed "you too"
They walked off stage,
"He looked at you" Anna said as we walked away from the stage to grab a drink I nodded at her "I know" I whispered "he looked alright" she said "I believe he is" I whispered
She gave me a side hug.
"I'm happy you feel alright again" she said I sighed and with a grin on my face
"Me too, me too" I whispered
- van's pov
I saw Lilly standing in the crowd
I tried to move on, I wasn't fully over her but I realized it made no sense waiting for something that wasn't going to happen anymore.
She smiled at me
I was doing okay.
She looked okay, I hope she was.
I mouthed "thank you" at her
I meant, thank you for everything, the memories, the love we shared, the tears, everything.
She nodded "you too" back
I smiled at her, I loved her and I always will.
I hope she was okay like she promised me to be.
god, I pray she was happy...
-Much love, Van McCann.
