Adam's point of view
We arrived early to gain entry, seems I didn't get the full information when it came to this gig.
Grace according to Colin had been mates with some of the coordinators of the festival putting in a good word for our band to play at least 2 gigs this weekend festival.
I honestly don't know what to say to this new found information, as I stare blankly out the windows towards the ocean below, i feel Owen watching my every move, his eyes burning a hoke in my head, waiting on my next reaction.
Oi Adam, are you helping or what? matt calls through the open door of the van that everyone bar me and Owen has exited, and stretching after a long journey to the coast, wishing I had brought my surfboard, as I smell the scent of the sea straight to my lungs.
Matt leaves following to help Colin set up the tents leaving me once again with Owen.
Thought you weren't interested in grace no more? Owen asks, he doesn't move his eyes, watching and waiting for my reaction.
I never said that, I told you I didn't want to use her. I sigh moving out of the open door to stretch, turning back to view the ocean avoiding owen's gaze once more.
Are you two coming Doris calls, and for the 1st time in a while I feel grateful for her appearance.
Sure, I need a beer, I say trailing after her with owen in toe.
The music gets louder as we walk though the crowd, passed fast food vans and a few over crowded bars.
Matt and Colin found a quiter bar down the other end, she shouts over the crowd noise.
Taking a seat, colin and matt already bought a round, I sit and listen as the talk to a guy I've never seen before, he finish his sentence before leaning forward and introducing himself.
Sorry you must be Adam, grace described you perfectly, I am Liam an old friend of grace's, he sticks out his hand waiting on a hand shake I decided to stay polite.
Nice to meet you, I Say before Colin continues to talk.
So grace gets in tomorrow? he asks as liams phone beeps with a message.
Erm.... actually no, she's here already she arrived about an hour ago.
She will be in the vip tent with some old friends, he looks at me and smirks, they usually come early for a jamming session, bounce ideas around for new songs, look at new combos you know the usual.
Oh... really Colin says to him, luckily he spoke I didn't know what to say
It's usually only people who have been playing the main stage that hang out there with her, or more well known bands but you guys being her mates, I'm sure they will make an exception. I take you up now if you want?
Yeah, sounds good Colin says, seems he's a little annoyed that were this conversation is going too,not trusting this Liam geezer.
Grabbing our bottles we head off towards the so called vip tent, bottles in hand, we make our way through the crowds, still busy with bands still on stage.
The atmosphere is electric with people dancing, singing, swaying to the music with bottles of beer, smell of greasy food and cigarettes among the scent of weed.
Seems people have let loose with the sun setting over the ocean were lead to a tent next the shore line on a grass bank, as we head in it seems the paneling at the rear is wide open showing the sight of the sunset reflection over the sea.
I grab owen pulling him to one side just as I hear her voice.
I whisper to owen, what do you want off her?
Who? he asks smirking like a child that had just been caught stealing candy.
You know who I'm talking about, I look over towards grace, she sat on a blanket, with her guitar on her lap, and a bottle of beer next to her as Doris, passes the crowd sitting next to her, huge smile on her face watching grace.

I know you moved onto someone new
Hope life is beautiful
You were the light for me to find my truth
I just wanna say, thank you.
Leaving to find my soul
Told her I had to go
And I know it ain't pretty
When our hearts get broke.
Too young to feel this old
Watching us both turn cold.
Oh, I know it ain't pretty
When two hearts get broke.
Yeah, I know it ain't pretty.
When two hearts get broke.
I hope someday
We'll sit down together
And laugh with each other.
About these days, these days.
All our troubles,
We'll lay to rest
And we'll wish we could come back to these days, these days.These days, these days..These days, these days.
Three years of ups and downs
Nothing to show for it now
And I know it ain't pretty when the fire burns out
Calling me when I'm drunk, remind me of what I've done
And I know it ain't pretty when you're trying to move on, yeahI hope someday
We'll sit down together
And laugh with each other.
About these days, these days
All our troubles
We'll lay to rest
And we'll wish we could come back to these days, these days.
Oh I know, I know
Oh I know, I know
Oh I know, I know
These days, these days
Oh I know, I know
Oh I know, I know
Oh I know, I know.
To these days, these days, Cigarettes in the ash tray
Reminiscing on those past days.
I thought you'd end up with my last name
But that changed
And I travelled around the world
Think where you living at now?
I heard you moved to Oxford
Got an apartment and settled down
And every once in a while
I start texting
Write a paragraph
But then I delete the message.
Think 'bout you like a past time
I could cry you a river
Get you baptised or
I wasn't ready to act right
Used to always think I'd get you back, right
They say that things fall apart (yeah)
We were gonna move to Brooklyn
You were gonna study Art (oh no, oh)
Love is just a tool
To remind us who we are
And that we are not alone.
When we're walking in the darkI hope someday
We'll sit down together
And laugh with each other
About these days, these days
All our troubles
We'll lay to rest
And we'll wish we could come back to these days, these days.
We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days (these days, these days, these days)

Owen leans over towards me still looking in grace's direction, he says, honestly Adam, you don't deserve her, no one does, your friendship means a lot to me, sincerely, but I want her, and if it means we are no longer friends then so it will be.
Owen seriously, when you met her, you hated her with a passion, just like fiona. I told you I didn't want to use her, but you left me no choice. Remember there's a lot of things I know about you and your past, don't make me have to use that information, I say walking off towards matt and Colin not nothing to look at his reaction to my comment.
