Reunited || Michael Clifford

ONE

273 days I'd been waiting for this day to come. I'd never really been to any sort of festival or concert before and time seemed to pass so slowly that i thought I never would. Well i may have just lied to myself about the concert part, but it was a shitty one my best friend Michael organized and played in a couple of years ago. Ugh michael, i hate thinking about him. I havent even seen him since what happened. I'd rather forget about that though.

....

It was around 9 am and a morning text from my friend woke me up.

"kiera, quick help me, what do i wear for the festival?"

"shit, i swear it's all i've been looking forward to and i almost forgot, what about your black shorts and that flannel you bought last tuesday?"

"yes perfect thankyou, see you at 10:30?"

"of course, see you soon elena"

I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to have some breakfast, "poptarts" i cheered , i opened the cupboard to see there was only one left, well thank god for that.

I was having the last bite of my extremely delicious poptart as my mum walked in. "Good morning sunshine" she smiled. "What time do i have to take you to the festival?"

"Elena's picking me up Mum" i said

She nodded with a smile on her face and walked out the kitchen. My mum has always liked Elena, or i think so anyway.

....

It was 10:20 and i'd just finished getting ready, I took a last look in the mirror making sure i looked decent enough. I fixed my urban outfitters black crop top and pulled my also black skirt slightly up, making it just about the perfect length. I tied the laces on my creepers and walked downstairs waiting for Elena to text me when she got here. I wasnt sure if my makeup was too heavy but it's not like i really cared either.

I received a message from Elena "I'm outside". My mother had left for work and my brother and dad had gone out for a bike ride, i got the house keys and walked out the door. Elena waved and i smiled at her.

We gave eachother a quick hug and hopped back into the car.

....

You could tell by the noise that already we were arriving at warped tour. Although the bands didnt start playing until around 11:30 there was pretty loud music playing in the background.

"KING FOR A DAY" i yelled. Elena laughed and we continued to sing the lyrics to it "the thought of you is no fucking fun". Pierce the veil, one of my all time favourites.

We parked the car in a massive esplanade and i noticed a familiar one parked a few cars away from ours. I thought it looked familiar to Michaels dads old car but that didn't even seem like a possibility to me.

As we walked towards the entrance a couple of boys approached us. "HEELLOOO" one yelled, making me confused to wether he was drunk, or perhaps just a very cheerful person, i'm not sure what i prefer though. The other one laughed "Hi, i'm Daniel and that guy standing next to you is Oli, he may be a bit tipsy right now but hes great when hes sober". Their accent made me laugh, aussies i thought, which once again took my mind back to Michael.

As hard as I try i feel like I can just never take him off my mind.
