you know the girls that got serenaded and handed roses in the nobody gotta know music video? yeah, well... that's you.
what happens when you meet back up with a boy you never thought you'd see again? and does friendship stand a chance when love is i...
i woke up to the sound of muffled music blasting throughout my apartment. my roommate, and bestfriend, mae was blaring spotify at top volume again bright and early. i stretched and made my way to the living room where she was dancing all around with the music at full blast.
i turned the volume down causing her to turn around and notice i had walked in the room. "hey what'd you do that for, this song is my favorite!" she screamed "sorry that i don't wanna hear your rap music at the loudest volume at 6am" i replied. "if you'd actually listen... this isn't even rap! it's pop i think, some new boyband maybe... i don't know but the song sounds nice" she said as i took a minute to actually listen to the song. a wave of memories flooded my mind as i heard the lyrics
-𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 2017- i was out shopping for my counsins wedding when a boy around the same age as me, with brown hair and beautiful brown eyes, walked up and handed me a rose. he asked if he could sing me a song, to which i agreed, and he started singing. after a moment 4 more boys walked up behind, one with a quitar in hand, and all started singing.
they had on white dress shirts with black suspenders and black bow ties. they all had such beautiful voices and i had been listening to what seemed like most of this song before i noticed a camera recording us. after the song ended they were all happy and i then found out it was for a music video. i had talked to the boy for only a minute before i had to sign some papers allowing my face to be shown in the video. i had planned on talking to all the boys but they all rushed off and their manager said they had more things to shoot that day.
-𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵- i never got their names or even knew the name of the song or band, but i frequently thought about that boy that sang to me and handed me a rose. "mae what's the name of this song?" i asked and she quickly ran to her phone to look. "it's called nobody gotta know, by the band why don't we" she said, and it definitely sounded familiar. i quickly looked them up on google and my eyes glued to the boy over to the right. zach herron was his name, apparently.
evidently they're pretty big now, and although he's changed some... i can tell exactly which one is the boy i still think about from time to time. zach herron, i'll definitely never forget that name now. i felt proud of their growth, even though i technically didn't know them, but in a way i felt i did somehow.
i was snapped out of my thoughts when mae turned the volume back up and started dancing about again. "i don't have time for this, now i'm going to be late for work" i yelled after looking at the clock. i threw on some clothes, threw my hair up in a ponytail, grabbed my apron and ran out the door. i drove as quickly as i could in the LA traffic, but was still running late. i finally made it to starbucks and parked my car. i was running in the building while simultaneously trying to tie my apron from the back, i must've not been paying good enough attention because i quite literally ran into someone causing us both to fall to the ground.
i sat up and instantly started apologizing realizing i caused the person to spill their coffee all down the front of their body. "i'm so sorry oh my gosh" i pleaded "no it's okay, you're fine" i heard a male's voice say. i looked up... and his face was way too familiar. ___________________________________
