matty healy, falling in love over night

here we go

gemma was babysitting while we moved everything from house to house. i didn't want to scare or stress rose out so this seemed the easiest way to do it.

also rose had her own room here, matty converted the office, which was as big as his and george's room so it was perfect for rose.

we had talked about buying an actual house in the future but we agreed we both needed time to save a little bit of money before we took a huge step like that. and we liked george living with us for the mean time.

"AAA" i heard coming from the moving van

"matty?" i answered worriedly

"i'm ... haha i'm fineee" he half laughed from inside the back of the van

"what the fuck are you doing?"

"my foot got stuck and then i fell"

"you really are an idiot huh healy?" i asked as he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me in close

"only for you" he whispered as we were nose to nose, he kissed me and it felt like coming home, he was the right choice all along and i loved him.

3 hours later

three hours later we were all picked and ready to leave, i wanted to take one last look around the flat. this one had less memories in it, there were traces of rose and matty everywhere though.

i travels my fingers over a dent in the wall, i bumped rose's pram into there ... twice. i looked at the scuffed wall, i threw mattys shoes at that wall once to prove i could. stupid idea but the point is that it's all documented here. every fight to every make up, i first came here when me and matty had just made up and nothing was certain, now everything was and we were about to move in together.

"you ready?" matty asked as i looked around one last time

"i hate moving"

"because you're sentimental" he laughed

"that's it" i said

"well this is the last time, for a while at least"

"yeah" i said leaning my head on his chest

"well maybe" he said

"what do you mean?" i asked, he smiled and refused to tell me

"wait wait MATTY" i called

he laughed and walked out the door, i took one last look before doing the same.

when we were sat in the moving van he refused to answer my questions. my mind wondered to all possibilities, some far fetched and silly, others not so much, i just wanted to know so i could stop my mind going to crazy places

"matty?" i asked

he grinned, he knew i hated not knowing things and that this was driving me insane

"so god help me matty i am going to kill you!" i laughed pushing his arm

"gracey?" he said

"yes?" i said eager

"shutup" he laughed

we drove for a while, down a load of streets onto a private road, if this was what i thought i was seriously going to kill this man.

he stopped the car and i unbuckled my seatbelt as he came round to open my door and chucked me a bandana

"huh?"

"turn around" he said as he tied it around my eyes and guided me down the van steps and onto the pavement

"i'm scared" i whispered

"shhhh"

"matty ... are you gonna sell me to one direction?" i asked pretending to be shocked

"here" he said fumbling with the knot

"keep your eyes closed" he warned, once the thin material had been lifted from my face he instructed me to lay my hand flat in front of me

"okay?" i said as a cool metal object was placed in my palms

"open your eyes" matty said

i looked in my hands to see a single gold key on a chain, i looked at matty who had tears in his eyes. i looked back at the key in confusion for half a second before i realised what was happening. i didn't know wether to hit him, cry, scream or just fall on the floor.

"it's ours" he said gesturing to the house behind him. it was beautiful. on a road with two neighbours, private obviously. a massive front garden and seemingly a back one, the house itself was sandblasted with so many windows and a balcony coming off a room. i saw an attic room with a circle window and gasped, it was everything i'd ever wanted from a home.
the door was a light wood colour with a doorbell and postbox beside it.
there was everything down to a white picket fence around the front garden. i imaged rose playing safely.
i guess the cherry on top was the red roses planted in the front garden.

"matty" i breathed while the tears formed

"i thought we were gonna save and and then and then do it?" i mumbled

"i saw it and it had it all baby, front and back garden, attic window, balcony, open fire inside .. i couldn't not, it's exactly where we need to be right now"

"matty-" i couldn't even string a sentence together at this point

"i love you grace and i'm sorry i didn't ask you" , he looked worried and i couldn't stand it, he had done what i would have died at a year ago, but this was good for us now. we were mature enough to handle a house and he was right, this was good for rose.

"god i hate you" i said throwing my arms around his neck and not ever wanting to let go

our hands intertwined and we stood together staring at the house i had always dreamed of come to life, i couldn't believe it was ours, i couldn't believe that he had done this.

"matty?" i asked

"yes?"

"i cant believe this is real" i gushed

he turned to look at me while the sky was painted pink and the golden sun was setting beneath the trees, his dark eyes in this light ... i wished i could take a photo, i didn't ever want to lose this picture from my mind

"i promise it is" he whispered

"so .. this is us? parents and home owners?" i half questioned, it still didn't feel real

"remember when i told you it was us against the world?" he asked

"yes"

"well it is darling, you, me and rose against it all"

and stood in this golden light, with the boy of my dreams, dark hair and deep eyes, our baby girl who was beautiful and amazing, our amazing friends and perfect house i couldn't help but feel we had always been heading for this.

our hands were still interlaced as we stood staring at the house and sun setting beneath the trees, i didn't want to ever move or leave this place, my feet could root to the ground for all i cared, this was the most perfect moment of my life and nothing could ever change it.

it really was us against it all..
