The 1975

Chapter Fifty-Three || Drive

Date: September 29th
Location: Civic Hall - Wolverhampton, UK
"Let's go!" George yelled from downstairs. "It's an hour drive"
Terrance sighed. "Why did I come here again?"
"Because you love me of course" I smirked.
"Of course" he chuckled.
"What should I wear?" I groaned as I sat on my bed in my towel.
"Clothes" he snorted.
I rolled my eyes. "What are you wearing stupid?"
"Some jeans, a white V-neck and my tims" he shrugged.
I nodded. "Gonna change in front of me?"
"I mean if you want but I'm sure you're boyfriend wouldn't appreciate it" he smirked then peeled off his shirt.
"You can change in the bathroom" Matty said sternly as he walked in the room.
Terrance chuckled then grabbed his clothes and walked in the bathroom closing the door behind him. Once he was out of sight Matty sighed then walked in his closet. He came out seconds later with a black pilot jacket in his hands.
"Hurry and change" He said.
"I don't know what to wear" I frowned.
"Clothes" he shrugged and I swear if I heard that answer again someone would get hit.
I groaned then got out of bed and walked in the closet. We defiantly needed a bigger closet, despite what most people may think Matty does have a lot of clothes. I mean most of its black but nonetheless it's a lot and I'm a girl who goes shopping almost everyday so of course I have a lot of clothes. Put that together and you have a overly packed closet with the walls lined with shoes. But thankfully it was nicely organized.
It was really chilly out today, much colder than yesterday so I grabbed Matty's muppet coat off the rack, a cream pink sweater, super thick black leggings, those black chunky heels I wore yesterday and a black infinity scarf to keep my neck warm. And to cover the love bites given to me by Matty last night. After changing into that I just took my already dried hair out the bun so that it was nice and wavy then applied some makeup. Once I was done I grabbed my purse then went downstairs to leave.
"Finally" George groaned. "Bloody hell you take longer then fucking Matty"
I smirked. "You really need to get laid"
"Hasn't he already?" Matty asked as he came behind me and put his arm around my shoulders.
"Shut up" George said through his teeth. "He doesn't know yet"
I didn't know who He was till Terrance walked downstairs. Sometimes I forget him and Isis are siblings, I also forget that he's so damn overprotective. Isis couldn't get her first official boyfriend that they knew about till like sixteen. Plus Terrance isn't the biggest fan of George, of any of the boys for that matter, so I'm sure that if he found out that G and Isis fucked he would probably kill G.
"Are we leaving?" T asked.
I smiled. "Yeah"
"Let's go" Matty said then interlaced his fingers with mine and dragged me off.
Since Wolverhampton was only an hour and a half away Jamie convinced us all to drive. Now normally I am always up for road trips, I always used to drive with Isis to upstate New York for apple picking season and during spring break we would drive down to Florida with some friends but today I was with three guys, one of which can't stand being around the other two, so I'm sure this wouldn't end too pretty. Matty was driving but only because I'm not used to the whole left side of the rode thing.
"Are you cold back there?" Matty asked as we drove off.
"No" I assured him. I had taken his jacket off and tossed it over me like a blanket since it was so damn warm.
He nodded. "Great"
"Has Isis landed yet?" George asked as he looked down at his phone.
"Yeah" I nodded. "She's driving to philly now"
"That's great" Matty said. "Sucks that we won't see her for a while but I'm sure thanksgiving will come sooner than we think"
I nodded. "Yeah"
If only he knew.
"How's school Terrance?" Matty asked.
"Fine" Terrance shrugged. "Hey how's Gemma, Ab told me she was sick"
"She's fine" Matty shrugged but I could hear the annoyance in his voice.
"Is she coming today?" Terrance asked.
"No, she's flying to Dubai" Matty said.
"Damn that's a first" Terrance said. He was taking little jabs at Matty and it was starting to make me mad.
"Abbi did you show Terrance the ring Matty gave you?" George asked.
"Oh no" I said then showed T my right hand. "Doesn't it make you wanna slap your mom?"
Terrance chuckled. "It's nice"
"It's so gorgeous" I groaned.
"Goes perfect with her necklace" Matty said.
"Never pegged you as a jewelry girl Ab" Terrance said. "I mean growing up, especially when we dated you hated jewelry"
"I mean I don't like wearing a lot of it but this has meaning" I said. "Plus they're not super flashy"
"Right" T nodded. "Did your dad tell you the big news?"
"No" I frowned.
"Were going back to the Hamptons for thanksgiving, they found a great deal on a house to rent out there so it'll be just like old times"
"Can't wait" Matty said. "I've never been to the hamptons"
"Don't you have a gig on thanksgiving?" I asked.
"I think it's the day before plus it's in Georgia so we can make it" George said.
"That's great" I smiled.
"Yeah" T nodded.
"Can we stop for food, I didn't eat breakfast" I asked while yawning.
"Of course" Matty said then minutes later pulled over at this little coffee shop.
When we walked inside Terrance and I went to order while the guys went to pee. It was pretty obvious that this car ride would be extremely difficult to enjoy especially since Terrance always feels the need to have the last word on everything. I just really needed him to shut up so that this house could go by faster then it felt like.
"What do they want?" Terrance asked as he pulled out his wallet.
"Tea but I want you to at least try and like them" I said.
Terrance sighed. "I came down here for you, to make sure you were okay, not to play best friends with your boyfriend and his roommate. Ill get them their damn tea and you your regular coffee but don't ask me to like them"
"You're a bitch" I sighed then walked off.
While I was sitting in the car on the verge of tears I saw Matty walking over and G trailing behind him so I quickly wiped my eyes then put on the smallest smile. I was annoyed because Terrance is my best friend and Matty is my everything and I just need them to at least tolerate each other but they can't even do that and it's partially my fault.
"Where's the American?" Matty asked as he got in the back seat with me.
"Getting us some food and drinks" I said then laid my head on his shoulder. "I love you"
He lightly chuckled. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing" I giggled. "I just wanna go home"
"I know" he sighed. "Me too but look at it this way at least we'll be in America soon"
"Oh the joy"
He chuckled then kissed my temple. Then his kissed my nose and finally he found his way down to my lips. Little did I know even with George standing outside the car smoking I still wanted to make out with Matty because what better way to keep warm then to suck somebodies face off.
"Gross" Terrance groaned as he opened the backseat door.
"Mind sitting up there with G?" Matty asked.
"Yeah I do" Terrance huffed. "But sure why not"
"Thank you" I sang but he had slammed the door then opened the passenger door and got in while G got in on the driver side. Once they were all in we drove off.
It was silent at first and I was so happy because like always I was tired. I'm always tired so I just laid in Matty's arms then shut my eyes. But then George's phone rang.
"Hello" he asked. He shifted in his seat then let out a weird noise. "I'm kinda in the car with them so can we talk later?"
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Isis" he said to me.
"My sister?" T asked.
"Uh I gotta to but I'll call you when we get there" G said quickly then hung up.
"Why is my sister calling you?" Terrance asked. "She hates you"
"Uh they're friends now" I said before G could speak.
"Really?" Terrance asked. "That's a surprise"
"It really isn't" Matty said. "Were not as bad as you think"
"Okay" Terrance nodded.
"Anyways! I'm tired so how bout we don't speak" I said.
"Fine with me" George said.
"Me too" Terrance said then laid his head on the window.
I couldn't fall asleep because I was afraid WW3 would break out in the car so I just started taking selfies on Matty's phone while Matty played the Kim K game on my phone. It was pretty funny to watch because he didn't know how to do it, he was so lost like a baby puppy. Once he got the hang of it he was hooked. Matty's phone had died by then so I just gave it to G to charge up front.
"Oh shit" Terrance chuckled. "Gemma texted you Matty"
"Uh I'll text her back later" Matty shrugged.
"Of course" Terrance nodded.
"Don't start" I sighed.
"You wanna know why I don't like you" Terrance asked Matty as he turned around.
"Please share" Matty said as he shot up a bit which made me sit up as well.
"You constantly disrespect Abigail and I can't understand why. I dated her, I know how she is when she's dating you, she's fucking amazing and loyal and she would never ever fucking do the shit that you do to her. Your first fuck boy mistake was inviting your ex over for dinner the same day she had to meet your mom, that was strike one. Then you had the nerve to tell her that you still loved Gemma, that was strike two. Strike three was last night when your stupid ass ran to Gemma's side! That's why I don't fucking like you and why I never will!"
"Stop!" I shouted before Matty could speak. "Shut up and turn around"
Terrance rolled his eyes then sat back facing forward. "I'm sorry" Matty said.
"What?" I asked him.
"For everything, I'm sorry" he said then slipped on headphones. Terrance did the same.
I really just wanted to get out this car, I was such an idiot for thinking we could drive to another city peacefully. I felt so bad because I always put Matty in this position where he feels guilty for something he shouldn't feel guilty for. He always says he's the lucky one but honestly I am, I have to deal with Gemma but he has to deal with my family and my friends and my constant jealousy and mood swings.
I always thought he never loved me as much as I loved him but I guess I never realized that it shows. He's has stayed even when I pushed him away, he stayed even when I would constantly fight about Gemma because he loves me and I just constantly put him through the same shit and he's still here. If that's not love than I don't know what is.
"Go to sleep, we'll be there soon" Matty said then pulled me back in his arms.
"I love you" I said although he couldn't hear me.
