i'd rather stay ~ matty healy

midnight

later in the night.

i wake up to feel the bed empty as i sit up confused. i grab my phone to see no texts or calls from matty.

i put the rest of my clothes on and walk out into the living room. still, no sign of matty. there was no way this could have felt like a one night stand to him.

i tiredly walk back into my room, grabbing my phone to call matty. after a few rings he answers the phone "matty where are you?-" "i promise i didn't leave you like a shitty guy would- there's a few things that need my attention right now and i promise i will be back as soon as i can" he rambles out

"i was just worried but okay..." i say through a breathy laugh "shouldn't you be asleep, darling?" he asks me "i was just about to go back. i'll keep the door unlocked for when you get in" i rub my eye while climbing back in bed "alright" he says before hanging up.

before drifting back to sleep, i couldn't help but wonder what needed his attention at midnight.
