TheOrionSound x Reader // My childhood BAE

19. BAM

Y/N's POV

The minute the clock hit 6.00, I was off that stage and on the way home. I was happy that I had made the elder's days nicer and happier, but for myself... that's a different story...

When I got home, I get to my bed and change into a long baggy shirt which had the words, "Music: on, world: off" on it and changed into shorts.

I put on my earphones and plugged them into my phone, the first song that played was darkside.
(A/N: this is my current favourite song, listen to it, it's awesome! I did a cover on it and recorded it, it's sitting in my notes app now)

Ahh
The mood I was looking for

I start to do my homework...

<time skip>

BAM

I am shaken awake by someone.

I had not finished my homework and I was laying asleep with my face on the table. Oli was standing behind me with his hands on my shoulders

"BOO"

So it was him.

I fall off my chair and lie on the floor, shocked and just blanked out. Oli starts to laugh and points at my expression, his breathing is hard but he's not dying

Yet

"OLIVER!" I scream at him, jumping up at him, taking him by surprise. We land on my bed, me on top of him. I laugh and put my hands on my hips while pretending to be a hero that had just defeated a villain when

BAM

He's turned us over and he's on top of me

BAM

He's tickling me

BAM

I'm erupting into giggles and trying to protect myself from his cold, vicious hands.

"Stop! Stop! Oli! Stoppppp" I squeal but it's no use. He continues to tickle me. "What if I play dead" I think. I go limp, he looks at me and says, "that's not going to work on me" he lies on me and I'm so tempted to push him onto the floor but he would most likely just tickle me again.

"I could do this all day" he says, referring to lying on poor me. And he's right. He does this for about 10 minutes before I say, "fine fine! You got me, I'm not dead" "phew finally" Oli says, smiling.

In this mess, my earphones were flung onto the floor. When I see me earphones, I dash towards it.

"Oh my gosh...shhh-" I say as I look at my broken earphones.

"Flipping flop!" Oli comments, picking up the earphones and holding them, "sorry!"

I sigh and shake my head, "it's alright but I better get back to my work" I say, taking my earphones from him and throwing them into the dustbin.

Oli's POV

I feel extremely bad, I look at the earphones as they fall into the bin. "I can sing the songs quietly into your ear for you" I say, jokingly. I watch her as she smiles and shakes her head, "that would not be necessary" she replies. She takes her gaming headphones and says, "I'll use these instead until I can get new earphones or until my mum comes home"

How could I have forgotten?

Y/N's mum went for a business trip and her dad was always at work. It's as if work had taken them away from her.

Lizzie is always out too, hanging out with her friends.

Y/N had friends, but she's always at home by herself.

And that's why I need to do what I think I need to do.

"Do your work then" I say, smiling and patting her head. She groans when I pat her head, she stands on tiptoes and pats my head in return. Smiling, I wave at her and climb back out her window.

Y/N's POV

Happier plays and I continues my work.

RIP headphones (number 5 of the year)
It's only the start of September and my earphones are once again dead
I'm a great mum of earphones

I stare back at my work

Ugh the song finished

Now that Oli had left and my music stopped, the room felt silent and empty. I started at the place Oli was last at and just like that

BAM

reality hits me

Oli won't always be there for me.

He'll find a new best friend

He'll find a new partner

He'll move away

We'll be far away from each other

And he won't always be with me

There will be no Oli to be the dream best friend I had never dreamt of because right when I was born, we were best friends.

But he was

He was the dream best friend

That would...

I search for my notebook and read from it

I want someone who makes me feel wanted
I want someone who will hug me and tell me everything will be alright even if it isn't
I want someone who would not let me feel the way I do now
I want someone to be my best friend
And when I let them in
Not break anything
Not break anyone
Not break me

Oli has always been that someone

BAM

realisation

It's scary what one person can hide...
