angst | title: far away to hold me

- - -

found you, when your heart was broke
i filled you cup until it overflowed

she pushed herself away from the sea of people and to the bathroom. she sighed as she opened the door, but wasn't expecting to see someone sitting on the floor. "hey," she called out, hoping she'd get their attention.

the man looked up from his phone, his puffy eyes and red nose intriguing her the most. "are you going to use the bathroom?" his voice was in a thick accent, yet it was broken. she shook her head, smiling sympathetically at him, "i just needed to get away from the crowd. that's all."

the lad nodded and smiled faintly, "i'm Will," "Y/n." she said as she closed the door and sat besides him. he chuckled, "i'm sorry you had to see me like this. it's just- it's been a tough week."

and then i got you off your knees
put you right back on your feet
just so you could take advantage of me

"how are you?" she smiled widely at the man behind the screen. Will rubbed his eyes as he yawned, looking bored. "i'm fine," "are you sure? you don't look-,"

"listen, you're great and all but i need sleep." he mumbled, scratching his head. her heart sank and she swallowed the lump in her throat, "y-yeah, sure. i'm going to call you ba-,"

"babe, who's that?"

tell me, how's it feel sittin' up there?
feeling so high, but too far away to hold me

her back was pressed against the headboard as she tightly hugged the pillow between her arms, muffling her cries.

after all those months she spent fixing Will's broken heart, those countless sleepless nights, and those memories. . . all led her to this?

she cursed to herself as her heart broke even more. "stupid, stupid, stupid." she mumbled, panting as she tried to calm her own breath.

you know i'm the one who put you up there
name in the sky, does it ever get lonely?

her eyes trailed to the picture on her screen, her tears running down her cheeks. it was Will, his arm around girl's waist. she cursed and placed her phone on her nightstand before sighing, "i'm fine."

thinking you could live without me

"congratulations, mate!" Alex greeted Will as he opened the door for him. Will winked at him and laughed before leading him inside his flat. "can't believe you're getting married." George snickered as the lads sit on the couch.

Will scoffed and sat besides his fiancée, Mia, with his arm over her shoulders. Alex smiled, "yeah, mate. that's surprising," "oh fuck off." they all laugh and Gee turned on the television.

there was a girl on the screen. she was being interviewed by a famous reporter, with a big grin on her lips. Will furrowed his eyebrows as Josh spoke up, "oh my god. Nina, come look! it's our bloody idol."

thinking you could live without me

Will looked at Josh and tilted his head, "what's her name?" "Y/n."

baby, i'm the one who put you up there
i don't know why

"oh," he felt his heart being ripped off his chest. he watched the interview go on, seeing her laugh and smile to the reporter made him feel something within his chest. "i heard she made a song about this dude who used her just to get over an ex. real asshole," Mia said, leaning her head against Will's shoulder.

thinking you could live without me

Will chuckled nervously and continued on watching. "your new single, Without Me, has made it to the charts. is it true that you made this for an ex?" the reporter asked. Y/n smiled, "yes." "tea spilled!" Nina and Gee shouted.

live without me

"do you keep in touch with them?" "oh, no. i cut off all connections once they hurt me." she chuckled, smiling widely. Will frowned and looked at her intently as the reporter asked her a question, "final words for them?"

"i hope they change their personality. everyone does not deserve the pain that i felt because of what they did. if they don't, they're messed up," she laughed and looked at the camera, almost as if she was staring at Will.

"congratulations on the wedding."

Will bit down his lower lip as the girls in the room 'boo-ed'. "all she did was love and support the person! what a proper dick!" Gee whined, scratching her head. "y-yeah." Will chuckled, looking down at his lap.

she was there when he was dealing with his heartbreak, yet he replaced her and broke her heart. he faintly smiled, she should live without him in her life.
