The months pass just like that, and before we know it, we're back in Atlanta for the show. Simon is going to be there, and after the show, we're going home. Its quite emotional, to be honest. The past few months have really life changing. The whole world knows who I am. I'm best friends with my idols. I have an invitation to what could possibly be the wedding of the century. Matty and Gabby aren't getting married until next year, when all the touring and album recording is done. They're taking a year long break. Its going to be very private.
And I don't know if it's Gabby, Ross or Abby rubbing off on me, but I've become so sickeningly sweet. Like, I was the definition of cocky bitch and when we were in London, I punched some thugs who were bothering a homeless man and I gave him my hot chocolate and wedges. Damn.
We're now backstage at the show, and I'm recalling the past few months, and the next thing I know, Matty's beside me.
"You're crying."
I gasp and I touch my face. I've been bawling my eyes out. "So I am. What does that mean?"
"You're going to miss me. I'll miss you too, Burke."
I look up at him and smile softly. "I am."
Then, he hugs me. And I hug back. I see Lucy and Abby over his shoulder, and they smile at me.
A few minutes later, we're all talking and I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look behind me and there he is, none other than Adorable Gay Simon Spier.
"Oh my God...", I say softly.
"Hey, sister."
I start crying again, and I stand up and I pull him into a tight hug. He hugs me back just as tight.
"I missed you so much, Baby Brother."
"I missed you too." We separate. "How has the past few months been?"
"Great but I really missed you. I got you a ton of stuff. And you get to meet the man himself."
Matty waves at Simon, and he waves back excitedly. This is adorable. Matty stands up and comes over to him.
"Hi, Simon.", he says. He holds out his hand. "I've been wanting to meet you."
Simon falls back into my arms. Me and Matty share a look and Lucy and Abby are giggling.

"One, two, ONE, TWO, FUCKING JUMP!"
We all jump up and down while the solo of The Sound plays. This was always my favourite part of each show. And its my last time experiencing it. Its emotional, but I'm really very lucky to have been able to experience this.
The song then transitions into I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes) and I end up losing it. I've gotten so used to being around these guys, and its like leaving my family. Matty looks sadder than usual today, and he's always such an energetic performer. I'm going to miss this guy so much.
The song ends, and Matty breaks down. I push through the crowd and run up on stage and I hug him. We cry together and the crowd cheers. We walk off the stage together and we meet up with Abby, Lucy and Simon, who start crying as well.

A few hours later, I'm in the car heading back home. I'm thinking back on everything. The proposal. The pregnancy. Meeting those two young Irish girls. Singing with Matty onstage. Partying with the girls. It was a life changing experience.
I've come out a much happier and better person. I can't believe everything that happened did happen.
And it all happened because of an email at the end of August.
