Going Nowhere (Noel Gallagher)

1991:

"'Ello?"

"Maggie?"

"Who's this?"

"Elodie"

There was a pause after I spoke.

"Elodie?! Hi, how've you been?"

"Great, you?"

"Yeah, good, things are good... Got engaged"

I gasped loudly "Oh my god, with who?!"

"His name is Andy, and he's really nice"

I chuckled "That's great! He sounds alright"

"Yeah, he is!" She said noticeably excited. "But what bout you, where've you been?"

I sighed "Bristol"

"Oh"

"Yeah, staying with Matt"

"Wait what?"

I chuckled "Yeah. I mean I stayed in a flat in Glasgow but got sacked after a year and a half and then I slowly realized I couldn't afford it anymore. Then I remembered that Matt gave me a number and told me to call if I ever needed anything, that he was happy to help"

"Oh, quite exciting, innit?"

"Yeah, it's been... something"

There was another long pause and I remembered why I called.

"You still in Manchester?"

"Same flat"

"...What if I go visit you for a while?"

"Yeah, yeah alright"

"This weekend?"

"Ok"

"So, see ya then?"

"Mm hm"

"Alright, bye"

"Bye"

I hung up the phone and sat on the edge of the couch that faced the window.

"Who was that?" Said Matt, coming out of his room, drying his brown wet hair with a towel.

"Maggie"

"...Maggie from-"

"From college, yes"

He left the towel on a chair and went to the kitchen counter. His flat was small but it was alright. Had 1 bedroom, 1 toilet and the kitchen and living room were the same, but you don't need much, do you? My room was the couch since I 'moved in' but I didn't care, part of this time in my life was being spontaneous, doing new shit, and it was going well. I guess.

"You keep in touch?" He said taking some toast and putting it on a plate.

"Well, we haven't talked in a long time"

He walked to me, gave me the toast and went back to where he was, then started making some tea.

"Thanks" I said with a pleased smile.
