Matty Healy // i think we've done it all

london

two weeks later

once is settled back into the uk life it was better. me and jake facetimed very day and he promised to visit soon, i hadn't heard a lot from george but that was okay, he had a big move and i knew he was concentrating on that. i also knew the album was being released soon, i didn't know when and i didn't care to know.

my apartment was beautiful, modern and stylish. the theme was white and marble which suited me perfectly. debra had really done me a massive favour getting me relocated here.
work was okay, there was no jake obviously but it was okay.  i only worked a couple days a week and the pay was excellent, i was happy living here. i really hoped i'd be able to put matty and the past behind me now.

i was meeting with my old friends today, amelia and liam. we had known each other since primary but i hand stern them since LA, it was too expensive to visit so i was excited to update them on everything. aside from matty, they obviously knew all that.

i got into the shower before i went to meet them, the white tiles reminded me of my apartment in LA, it was a nice reminder but with a massive change. once out i went i the wardrobe to pull out clothes but o stopped by the window, outside i had a beautiful view of the thames. london was somewhere i always wanted to live, before LA, before everything london was a massive goal of mine. i hadn't ever wanted to be a model, i wanted to run a shop in london at first, funny how things change. i was happy with my career now though, it paid well and i met people i truly loved through it. it wasnt something that i had to do anymore, it was something i loved and would miss if i didn't.

london weather is very different to LA so my wardrobe badly needed updating. i pulled in black skinny ripped jeans and an off the shoulder wool jumper. i shrugged on my doc martins and grabbed my cross body. looking in the mirror i looked good. edgy kinda good and different from LA "me" but good. i was happy with the way i looked, i would definitely fit in with the london crowd. my make up was baisc, brows and mascara. i ran a brush through my curly brown hair, the curls stayed put and i sighed, it looked okay just not perfect. i was ready!

i closed the apartment door tossing the key into my bag, i was on the third floor so i had a lot of stairs  to walk down, i didn't care though i was finally happy. on my way down into the cool london air i thought about what i was going to eat for dinner, where we would go. it was a simple thought but nice, i didn't have to worry that they'd stand me up like matty, i didn't have to worry about any of that because i didn't have matty to worry about anymore, it was like a breath of fresh air.

i was almost running down the stairs before my phone dropped out
"fuck" i said going back to pick it up, i was examining the screen, making sure i hadn't cracked it before i turned around, i was face to face with matty, his hair still tousled and uncontrollable. still dressed in doc martins and black jeans with a black t-shirt. he looked younger, with bags under his eyes as if he hadn't been sleeping, his eyes scaled the ground before meeting mine, a small smile appeared on his lips
"hi" he said simply
