A hundred and two //The 1975//

//CHAPTER 3//

That night i went to that empty room soon to be occupied by Elly. Whoever that is. Well George's friend, yeah. That would be the last night i had poured my thoughts into its walls. The walls which seems like they have been there ever since i started to have barmy thoughts. Thoughts of my younger bro, Louis. I keep worrying what will happen to him since he was chosen to play a role. He'll be an actor. A well known actor soon. He's a man now. Then Mum and dad. I don't want to dwell about what happened to them. It damaged me that much. I feel so alone though i'm surrounded by the people i love most. I feel empty. I feel like my brother will leave me soon because he's growing up too fast but i'm sure he won't cause he's my brother. We got each others back. I love him and he loves me too.

Adam and George played FIFA a bit and that is when i went to the empty room that gives us an eerie feeling. I told them i'm going up to my room to sleep because the shower i took made me feel sleepy and they let me.

First i sat down in the middle and thought of things i kept thinking in here. Then i slowly lied down. Staring at the ceiling. Contemplating what to do with my life. I didn't noticed that i fell asleep as footsteps woke me up and brought me back down to the real world. I guess they're finished playing FIFA. I checked what time is it and i decided to sleep in my room. Since somebody is going to use this, I don't want them to see me laying down in the middle of the room first thing in the morning tomorrow.

I woke up around 10 in the morning. Checked my phone if i got something to do today and i remembered that we're having a girl in this flat.. Elly. I went out of my room and saw Ross getting out of his room as well with nothing but his sweatpants. "Ross, have you just woke up?" I asked him "Yeah, it's a bit noisy down there.. It kinda woke me up" he replied. Oh i didn't noticed that it was noisy until Ross mentioned it was. Probably George is having a grand reunion with his childhood friend that we never knew because he never mentioned her to us. "Is that a girl?" Ross said and i hear a girl's voice as well. Laughing and i heard George laughing too. "Oh yes!" I exclaimed and explained to Ross that we'll be having Elly for a few days. "Oh..." there was a long pause as if Ross was shocked about it. Well, he looked shocked. "I think i should wear a t-shirt yeah?" he said as he look down to his topless body. "I reckon so" i said. "Wait me up" he said and he went back inside his room and he got out that fast wearing a shirt. "Well that was fast?" I told Ross. "At least i have a tee on. I haven't taken a shower... " He said beckoning me to go downstairs. "Same here though" I said and we slowly went downstairs.

We peaked through the stairs to see how Elly looked like but George's back was blocking our view. He's facing her. They're in the kitchen. I can see her using my mug. Maybe George's, i don't know. We all both have the same mug but it differs from the design. Then all of a sudden, Adam came out of nowhere. "What are you doing?" Adam asked Ross and I. "My goodness Adam! Isn't obvious?" Ross replied. "You both looked like spying on someone" Adam chuckled. "We're just trying to see how she look.." I said. "What about you? you almost killed us. What are you doing?" I added. "I was about to woke you two up but i guess i already did" Adam said. "Yes we almost fell from here when you suddenly showed up" Ross chuckled. "Well.. I'm sorry. Aren't you going down to see her? and for breakfast as well" Adam chuckled then Ross and I went to the kitchen with Adam.

As we entered the kitchen. I see her chuckling while taking a sip from my mug. Yes it was my mug not George's. She looked at us and she stopped chuckling. George turned his back and saw us. He gave us a big smile. Wow, looks like someone's in a good mood this morning? "Hey guys" George said as he stood up. Fucking 6ft 5. Too tall. "Hey" we said in unison. "This is Elly. The girl i was talking to last night" He said as he gestured towards Elly. She put my mug down and waved at us "Hello, I'm George's friend. I hope you don't mind me crashing here for a bit" she said and she smiled. She looks pretty and her voice sounds claming. No doubt she's good friends with George. She got this welcoming calming vibe out of her voice once she had spoken. Long black hair up to her waist. She got an almond shaped eyes, the colour of her eyes are brown. Pretty eyelashes. Eyebrows on point. Round to oval shaped face. Strong jaw line. She got a dimple on her left cheek and a bit under her eyes on both cheeks. Got mole near her nose on her right cheek, just like George's but a bit higher than his. Lucious pinkish-reddish lips and her smile, it could light up your day.

"Well.. Hi gorgeous" I said. "Gorgeous?" she chuckled. "Uuh i m-mean G-george. Hi George" I stammered "Matty hey" George chuckled and the lads laughed. "Yeah we know she's GEORGE-ous, Matty" Ross laughed and Adam shooked his head while he chuckles and sat down to the table to eat breakfast. "Fuck off Ross" I said as i sat down as well "Whaaaat" Ross said as he gets us breakfast. George sat back down and continued drinking coffee i presume. No it's tea. Elly and George faced us. "uh well Hi Matty and you guys are?" she asked "Hi" i said and i diverted my eyes away from her. Ugh that was embarassing. "Oh come on George, you didn't mentioned our names to her?" Adam said "Nah bro, she said she want to ask you guys so it won't be awkward. Right Elly?" George said as he looks at Elly "Yeah sorry" she chuckled. "Does she know that we're a band?" Ross asked "Yes! George sent me some of your songs before" she said. Really? i thought to myself. "Yeah? What's the name of our band then?" Adam said in a good teasing way. "Drive Like I do? oh wait! Lost Boys!" she said. "Actually loves, we're The 1975 now" George chuckled "You never told me that!" Elly said as she lightly hit George on his left arm. "Well we have been just recently became The 1975 so.." I said as they all looked at me "..yeah" I added. "Really? It sounds cool to be honest, where did you get it?" she asked. "Matty got it on the back of a book" Ross said. "I'm Ross by the way, the bassist" he added. "That's cool, really!" she said in amusement. "What was that Matty? 1st of June The 1975?" asked Adam "oh yeah.. I'm Adam, I play the guitar" Adam added "Yeah, 1st of June The 1975.. It had an impact on me so i decided why not right? The 1975 as you said it sounded cool so yeah" I said "I'm the other guitarist" I added "And he do the vocals as well" George said "I do the backing vocals and you know i play the drums" he added and tapped the table Bam-Bam-Bamm. "It must have been so cool to have breakfast with you guys" she said "George, I like her already" Adam said and we all laughed. "Yeah i know Hann, she's GEORGE-ous" George said and we laughed more. "Oh stop it Georgie" Elly said "Elly!" George suddenly said.

"Whaaat"

"Don't call me Georgie.. that's way baack before" George said and we can notice he's blushing we all chuckled.

"Aye, Georgie Daniel" Ross said. Wow we haven't laughed during breakfast since then. I guess it's a good thing we have her. She'll give us laughs most of the time.

"Coffee Matty?" George asked me. "Nah, I'm alright" i said then Elly poured me some water "Water?" she asked. "Sure thank you" i told her. We all both finished breakfast and Elly volunteered to wash the dishes and the lads and I went to the living room to chill a bit and we decided not to eat lunch since we had a full late breakfast.

"George where did you got her?" Ross asked. "Got her? You sound like you're saying she's my girl" George chuckled "She isn't?!" Ross said in shock. "Naah, she's his quote un-quote childhood friend" Adam said. "That's what you get for sleeping early last night Ross" I said as i threw a pillow to him. "Whaa- what else did i missed?" Ross said as he caught the pillow i threw to him. "Just few things.. few things about Elly" I said. "What about me?" Elly said out of nowhere. I almost jumped out of my seat. I presume she's finished with the dishes. "Is it true that you're just George's quote un-quote childhood friend?" Ross asked Elly. "Yeah I Am, we're good friends actually.. I don't know now it's been a while. Right George?" she said as she sat down next to George and he put his arm around her and they snuggled. "Yeah it's been a while" George said as he pinches her cheek. "You gained weight" he added as he looks at Elly. "Are you saying that I'm fat. Georgie" Elly said as she stresses Georgie. "Aaah, girls" Adam said as he rolls his eyes. We chuckled. "No no Elly. You're actually fat and you gained more" George teased Elly more. "Well I love you too. You're still tall, i reckon i should cut your legs off. To shut you off yeah?" Elly said. She's good at banter or it's just it's been a while since they saw each other? I sat quietly looking at George and Elly as Ross interviews her and Adam interrupts them for a while.

Back then there was this weird kid turned up at school and was really tall but he looked about nine and was this odd character. That's George. He looks like this peculiar kid, so tall and born in Belgium but grew up in Seatle then moved to Manchester while I move between London and Newcastle before settling down in Manchester. I told myself that i want to be with him forever. Sounds gay but no. He's my kind of boyfriend. Well not really but he might as well be. We don’t really leave each others’ sides. When we first met we instantly click. It's like two people who find each others company completes them so we became close friends maybe because of the sense of isolation we felt in our new homes in the Manchester suburbs were mutual.

It may sound weird that he got someone else besides from us and it feels amusing yet scary that after all these years we still might not know a thing about George and Elly's one of them.
