May's POV

I am waking up, the next morning, with a smile on my lips.
When Matty was standing there yesterday with the rose, we were sitting on my bed. We talked about us, about our dreams, and our futures. Nearly everything that came to mind.

The rose is still laying on my bed, next to my pillow.
I get up and take the rose, when it's knocking on my door.

I open and look straight in Tyler's sorry face.
"Hi", he whispers.
"Hi"
"Can we talk, May?"
"Yeah. Come in."

Tyler passes me and sits down on my sofa.
He looks terrible, like hasn't slept for days.
"Are you alright?"
"No... May I want to tell you that I'm sorry. So so sorry!! I was a fool, I didn't know how important you are for me..."
Then he notices the rose.
"Oh? You got a rose?"
I look at the beautiful rose. It was supposed to be for Matty and me, but maybe...
"No I was thinking about us yesterday. It's for you!"
He smiles.
"Flowers have their own language don't they?"
I nod.
"So...an we try it again please? I have changed May! I will go to an anger management training tomorrow! I stopped drinking now for a week!! I missed you May!"
Instead of an answer, I just walk over to him and kiss him.
He exhales relieved.
"Thank you!"

Matty's POV

It's been a week now , since I have been at May's place with the rose.
We had talked and when I had left her, I was happy.

I am still laying in bed now, while Chelsea is in the shower.
We have talked everything out too and I agreed that we should try it again. These years couldn't be for nothing right?
Grabbing my phone I dial May's number.
"Hello?", her voice shouts.
She seems happy, like she was laughing before answering the phone.
"Hey love!"
"Matty?", when she hears my voice she sounds choked.
"How are you?"
I sigh.
"Well Chelsea and me, we have talked and...yeah I think we will be fine again."
I try to sound happy, but I fail completely.
"Baaabe? When are we leaving?", Chelsea shouts.
"30 minutes left!"

"Where are you going?", May whispers.
"Oh, we will visit her parents. Nothing special. I will drink a few shots before, so don't worry."
"Don't do that Matty!"
I laugh out loud, bitterly.
"What?"
"Don't drink! It will be embarrassing for her..."
"I don't do this for her May! I do this to fucking forget your face when I'm with her parents!"

She stays in silent.
"And what are you doing today?"
"I don't know yet! Maybe we will go visiting my nanna..."
"Are you happy?", I breathe.
"Matty! Don't..."
"Are you?"
"I try to be. Tyler is my boyfriend!"
"He is a fucker!!"
"Matty! Are you happy?"
She is nearly crying, I can hear her voice trembling.
"I try to be..."
"Please don't embarass her! She doesn't deserve this!"
"I try May....", I whisper and hang up.

Till Chelsea is ready to go, I am looking for my best scotch.
I take one glass, two....three....
"Matty? I'm ready!"

She is driving. "Why the fuck did you decide to get drunk today huh?"
"I'm fine Chelsea"
May I do this for you

We arrive and Chelsea's dad Bob opens.
"Hi Matthew! Hi sunshine!"
I take his hand and put on a slight smile.
May! Only for you!

Lunch is disappointing. Chelsea's mum is running around, getting on my nerves. Her dad...god he is annoying with his fucking questions.

"Matthew? How is the second record working?"
"We haven't started recording yet...I will leave next month..."
I can barely hide a yawn.
"Matty!", Chelsea hisses.
"What's wrong with you?"

I look at her blankly.
"What you mean?"
"Why are you so annoyed?"
"I am not..."
Matty it will be embarrassing for her!

Ugh damn it, May!
"I'm sorry Chelsea I'm just tired!", I sigh and kiss her cheek.

When Chelsea's dad is talking about the time he has made music with his friends, I try to be really interested, which isn't too hard because her dad always knows how to tell a good story of his life.

I forget May, I forget everything else because it feels like five years ago when Chelsea and me always were hanging around at her place.

We want to stay the night and for the first time for weeks we have sex, like real sex. I really want her and it feels like I want it to be as good as it was before.

But right after it, when Chelsea has fallen asleep, May is on my mind.

God May! Fuck why am I thinking of you now?
Ugh stop lying Healy...you know why...

Because I love you

May, I love you!
