“Matty, I swear if you had anything to do with Lark’s disappearance, I’ll kill you,” Nirvana threatened.
The dazed lead singer looked at the girl who was about his height.
“I didn’t, love.” He stated slowly. “I promise that she was with me when we got in,”
“Is there anywhere that she could be at?” George questioned. Charles was going to kill them if they couldn’t find the lead singer anywhere. “Why would she have wandered off?”
X looked over at Nirvana. Surely she was thinking the same thing that X was. Lark just doesn’t disappear without a reason. Ever since last year, things have been weird with the lead singer. She became completely closed in, and very unlike herself. Everyone was worried, and finally, after three months she told people what happened. She still can’t handle it sometimes. Lark has good days and bad days. Recently, with the first year coming to a close, the bad days were getting worse and worse.
“Fuck,” Nirvana nearly yelled, tugging her hair up again. “Okay, there are three places she could be. We’ve got to separate and look for her. Matty, I need you to go on top of the building on 8th street okay? It’s called Riley’s, it’s her parents record store. Adam and X, check the library. I’ll go check the park. Ross come with me, and Maize and George can stay here in case she shows back up.”
George’s eyes grew larger.
“Is she okay?”
“Maybe,” Maize shrugged.
Maize was upset. She just knew that something bad was going to happen. She felt it, and she wished that she would have tried harder to stand her ground. Lark wouldn’t have left if something didn’t happen. The last year had been awful, to be honest. This type of thing used to happen all of the time. It had grately decreased, but sometimes it just popped back up. This was normal, she supposed. Maize didn’t want it to become a regular occurrence again. It was bad enough that it happened again this time.
“Does this happen a lot?” Ross asked Nirvana as the two made their way toward the park. It was around fifteen minutes away. “I mean… you seem to know something…”
“It happens when Lark freaks out,” Nirvana stated. It wasn’t her story to tell, honestly. “She...just things have happened.”
“Things?” Ross questioned. “What kind of things?”
Nirvana shook her head.
“I’m not telling you, Ross. She has to if she wants anyone to know okay?”
Ross nodded slowly. That wasn’t what he wanted to hear, but he supposed that was what he was getting. He knew that Nirvana wasn’t going to say anything else about it. He realized that it must have been something very personal to them. He didn’t want to intrude. He was just concerned. He was lost in his thoughts as Nirvana bounced her leg up and down rapidly. As soon as the two arrived at the park, she ran out of the taxi as quickly as possible. Ross ran to keep up with her. It didn’t take long for her to realize that Lark wasn’t there. Nirvana cursed under her breath and send a quick text message to X and Maize to let them know what was going on.
X sighed down at her phone before looking back up at Adam. The pair were standing outside of the local library, one of Lark’s safe places. She ushered Adam as they began to look around the entire library. X took the Fiction as Adam walked through the Non-Fiction. While the pink-haired girl was worried that her friend was hurting; Adam was annoyed. It was day two, and they were already running all over Seattle looking for the silver-haired girl. He didn’t know why exactly but it bugged him. He knew this was a bad idea, and already it was being proven right. Why couldn’t they just call the girl to see where she was. Call him selfish, but Adam thought this city-wide search was a pointless feat to try to take on.
“Of course she isn’t here,” He sighed. “Why would she be here?”
X rolled her eyes.
“You know nothing about us, so stop trying to act like you do, okay? It’s already getting old. Secondly, this is one of her favorite places that shes come to before. So, there,”
“She’s run away here before?” Adam asked furrowing his brows.
The girl bit the inside of her cheeks.
“Show’s how little you know,” She shook her head. “Let’s keep looking.”
Suddenly, Adam didn’t feel so good about it anymore. He felt conflicted as they continued on down the street. They entered into random store along the way back to their hotel. They came up onto a nice building, one that looked rather expensive. X headed straight to the stairs. Adam didn’t question the girl, but followed her anyway. As they entered, X waved to the woman standing at the desk, and hopped right onto the elevator.
“Where are we?”
“Lark’s apartment building,” She stated. “She lived on the twelfth floor.”
“Would she have come back here?”
“Eventually,” X sighed. “She would have needed to get some things, so maybe she’s here. I don’t really know, but it was worth a shot.”
Adam was shocked by just how nice her apartment was.
“She lives here all alone?”
“Yeah,” X replied casually. “But we’re all always together, so it’s no big deal,”
“It’s nice,” He remarked, stepping into the surprisingly clean apartment. The band’s awards were hanging up on her wall and twinkle lights at the top of the wall. “What do we do now?”
“We wait,” She stated, sighing heavily.
Matty didn’t exactly know where he was going. He used his google maps on his iPhone, but that still made him confused. He walked the entire block twice before he finally saw the Record store they were talking about. The Brit quickly realized that the only way up to the top was by climbing from the side.
“Are you fuckin’ kidding me?” He stated out loud to himself. “Larkin?” He called without an answer. Matty rolled his eyes, walking over the side of the building to prepare to use the latter shoot to get up to the top. He cursed and nearly fell multiple times before he finally reached the top. He climbed over the top only to land in the gravel. “I hope she loves me for this.” He muttered, standing up and straightening out his clothes. He realized that he now had a good size hole in his pants.
He didn’t see the girl anywhere, but it was a rather big rooftop though. He walked around, not seeing her anywhere, until he caught sight of a slight movement. There, the girl was standing.
“Larkin?” Matty called softly, seeing the silver-haired girl leaning against the buildings ledge.
“Matthew,” She called back in a distant voice.
Matty moved closer, ignoring that she call him by his full name.
“Are you okay?” The Brit questioned.
“Am I okay?” She laughed softly. “Am I okay? You gave me drugs, Matty. How would I be okay after that? Do you even remember what it was that we mixed? I think it was LSD, ecstasy and cocaine,”
Matty nodded his head, standing beside her now.
“It was.” He replied. “I just...we were having fun.”
“That’s not my idea of fun.” She stated, looking down at her hands for a moment. Matty took the time to notice that the girl had a septum piercing. It was a small silver hoop that was barely noticeable. It was cute, he decided. “I feel ashamed. I’m not like this. I don’t sleep with people I barely know.”
He moved his head so that he could look the 5’4” girl in the eyes.
“Hey...it’s okay. It’s okay, I promise. We’re going to be okay, right? Things are going to work out. I won’t do it again, I promise. I am sorry,”
Lark shook her head before looking at him. Her eyes very different from how they were the night before.
“We’re not friends, Matty.” She said. “You don’t know me. We...I can’t do what I did last night. I’m not that girl. That’s not me, this isn’t me. Well...it used to be me, but it’s not anymore… I just...I can’t...we…” She was getting herself worked up, and she really wasn’t trying to.
“Whoa, it’s okay. You don’t owe me anything,” he stated, placing his hand on her shoulder softly. “I...you don’t know me either.”
“I feel like I do,” She shrugged. “That’s how you made your music right? So people could get to know you and fall in love with you,”
“Yeah…” He nodded softly. “That’s why we made the album.”
“So maybe I do know more about you than you think…” She trailed off. “I...thank you. Nirvana sent you, right?”
He nodded his head.
“Yeah, your band….they care about you,” He stated. “Does this happen often?”
Lark laughed humorlessly.
“More often than I’d like. I almost ran before our meeting yesterday,”
“Why?” He questioned.
“You’re a musician right?”
“Yes…” He trailed off. “What kind of question is that?” he laughed.
“Figure it out, Matthew,” She stated. “C’mon. I don’t have my phone with me. We have to go by my house,”
Matty nodded, stepping into the girls space and bending down to give her a kiss. He felt inspired and decided to do whatever the hell he wanted. Lark turned her head and he ended up planting his lips to her cheek. She gave him a look before walking off. Matty had no choice but to actually follow her. She lead him through the buildings inside of having to climb down the side of the fire escape. They walked toward her apartment building. He whistled when they got into the elevator and the girl rolled her eyes at him.
“This is a nice flat.” He stated. “It’s ace.”
“Thanks,” The girl looked confused before opening her front door. Inside, X and Hann were jamming out on guitar hero. “I’m okay,”
“Lark!” X yelled tossing the plastic guitar onto her couch. “You’re okay… fuck… we were worried.”
“Clearly,” the girl teased. “I’m fine. Just got a little too inside my head.”
X chewed on her lip.
“But you’re okay?”
“I’m fine.” Lark sighed.
“Have you taken it yet?”
“I’m about to,” Lark rolled her eyes walking toward her kitchen to fill up a glass of water. She then walked to her bathroom with Matty following her every step of the way. She reached inside of her cabinet, pulling out out a white and orange pill bottle. She pulled open the lid, pouring a small pill into her hand before swallowing it with the water. The girl put back on the lid, pushing the bottle back into the small cabinet and shutting the door. She didn’t notice that Matty had followed her until she caught his eyes in the mirror.
“What was that?” He asked, brows furrowed.
“My happy little pills,” She sighed, walking toward the calendar she had hanging up so that she could mark off taking her pill. It was the first time that she had properly taken it in over a week. “Could you go get my other bottle? It’s in my jacket that I wore last night.”
“What is it?” Matty questioned, leaning against the door frame.
“It’s so I don’t flip my lid,” She sighed heavily. “Please?”
“Your jacket is in my hotel room,” He stated. “You passed out on me.”
“I know,” Lark sighed. “I’ll just go without.”
Something told Matty that was a bad idea.
“Uh...how about we get you back as soon as possible and you take it anyway? If you don’t feel good, you don’t take it tomorrow?”
“Who are you? My psychiatrist?”
“Hell no, I can barely handle myself,” He laughed. “Some people just deal with their shit in a different way.”
Lark nodded and walked into her bedroom. Because Matty had no possible concept of personal space, he joined her in her bedroom. He made himself comfortable on the bed whilst the girl went toward her wardrobe. She didn’t say anything, but grabbed her clothes that she chose for the day and changed inside where he couldn’t see her. When she reappeared, she was dressed in a black tank-top, tight black skinnies and flat ankle boots. Again, Matty whistled when she appeared, and the girl rolled her eyes.
“Don’t you have anything better to do?”
“No,” he stated, eyes crinkling.
Lark said nothing more as she walked out of her room with the British man in tow. Adam and X were now talking quietly amongst themselves with guitar hero stuffed away. Adam turned to look at the two, and instantly he saw it. He saw the look that made him already dread the tour. He saw the look that caused a lot of hurt within his friends life. He saw that joyous, painfully obvious smile on Matty’s face. Adam knew that they were all screwed. He could already tell that Lark wasn’t much into relationships, or human beings in general. This wasn’t going to end well, he decided.
They were all going to be screwed because Matthew Healy was already falling in love with the silver-haired girl, and she could care less.
“There she is!” Matty stated as Maize walked into the room. The rest of the bands were there and ready to load up for their first tour together. “Where has my little pumpkin been?” He asked.
Lark rolled her eyes and Nirvana scoffed. X just looked between everyone, and was pretty oblivious as to what was going on.
“She’s been trying to get ready on a bus full of girls,” She said, moving her auburn hair off of her shoulder. “It’s not easy, okay?”
“Oh, love,” Matty stated, pressing a kiss to the girl’s forehead. She blushed under his lips and it made the girls want to gag.
Of course Matty kept his affections to a minimum, but it was still there. X was a little sick of seeing Maize blushing and giggling all of the time. Nirvana rolled her eyes because she was aware of what game Matty was playing. She herself was playing the game. She had spent the last few weeks switching between George’s bed and Matty’s. Though, no one knew because the girl was careful and threatened to cut their balls off if they told. She was having fun, and she didn’t want to completely break Maize’s heart.
Adam was actually surprised to see Matty back off of Lark quickly. The man still looked at the silver-blonde the same way, but he was much more forward with Maize. She was the one that was getting the public affections, but Hann had a feeling that more than one girl was getting Matty’s attention. It was still annoying. The girls, however, have proven that they can hold their own. He was rather okay with touring with them now. It was interesting.
George wrapped his arm around Nirvana’s shoulders. He winked down at the raven-haired girl before looking back straight ahead. The girl just gave him a blank look before shrugging his shoulder off and moving on forward with the bands. They were giving their first press conference of the tour, and it just kicked off last night in Dublin. George was glad that they decided to take Weekend Misery out on tour with them, well despite the awkward tension between Matty, Lark, Maize and somehow Nirvana. He figured it was because the girl seemed to hate everyone. He wasn’t that aware of the girl’s nightly activities.
As if proving a point, Lark pushed in front of the supposed couple, bumping Matty’s shoulder rather hard with her own.
“Oh sorry, I didn’t see you there,” She rolled her eyes walking on. Lark didn’t play nice, and Maize knew that. Of course, she thought that this certain Lark was gone. Apparently not. “Nirvanaaaa.”
“Yes, love?” Nirvana laughed.
“Let’s go write some music.”
“Okay,” the girl shrugged. “We have to wait.”
“Fuck that,” Lark stated. “I need a notebook and paper!”
“Chill,” Ross laughed. “There should be some at the station.
“Good,” Lark stated, linking her arm with her best friend. “Let’s write the best fucking song ever,”
“Okay.” Nirvana shrugged, agreeing easily with her best friend.
Maize looked hurt as her two friends walked off far ahead of them. Beside her, X moved forward.
“Does she hate me or something?”
“I’d definitely go with the later. I don’t know what’s going on with them either,”
“It’s stupid,”
“Ignore it,” Matty stated, winking at the girl. “She’s just being a girl.”
“Wow,” X laughed. “Okay, Matty.”
Ross linked his arm with the pink-haired girl.
“Let’s go on ahead.” He stated, pulling the girl away from the others. Adam had to roll his eyes but he motioned for George to follow him as they walked toward the entrance.
“I didn’t do something wrong did I?” Maize asked, looking like a kicked puppy.
“No, babe.” He sighed. “Go on ahead, okay?”
“Okay…” She trailed off, pressing a small kiss to his lips. “I’ll see you inside okay?”
Matty nodded, not bothering to reply to the girl as she walked on inside. He liked Maize, honestly. She was cute. She was talented, and she certainly was a lot of fun, in private of course. He liked her, but he wasn’t exactly in love with her yet. Matty could easily see himself falling in love with the girl, if he wasn’t already hung up on someone else, of course. Sure he had only known the girls for a few weeks, but he adored them all. He adored them at different levels of course, and well, Maize wasn’t exactly aware of that. She’s the naive one, and that’s how Matty liked them sometimes. He liked them to be shy and cute.
Bathroom. Second left, third stall, furthest from the door. I’m waiting ;)
And well, sometimes Matty liked the ones that could get down and dirty.
The dazed lead singer looked at the girl who was about his height.
“I didn’t, love.” He stated slowly. “I promise that she was with me when we got in,”
“Is there anywhere that she could be at?” George questioned. Charles was going to kill them if they couldn’t find the lead singer anywhere. “Why would she have wandered off?”

George’s eyes grew larger.

“Okay.” Nirvana shrugged, agreeing easily with her best friend.
Maize looked hurt as her two friends walked off far ahead of them. Beside her, X moved forward.
“Does she hate me or something?”
“I’d definitely go with the later. I don’t know what’s going on with them either,”
“It’s stupid,”
“Ignore it,” Matty stated, winking at the girl. “She’s just being a girl.”
“Wow,” X laughed. “Okay, Matty.”
Ross linked his arm with the pink-haired girl.
“Let’s go on ahead.” He stated, pulling the girl away from the others. Adam had to roll his eyes but he motioned for George to follow him as they walked toward the entrance.
“I didn’t do something wrong did I?” Maize asked, looking like a kicked puppy.
“No, babe.” He sighed. “Go on ahead, okay?”
“Okay…” She trailed off, pressing a small kiss to his lips. “I’ll see you inside okay?”
Matty nodded, not bothering to reply to the girl as she walked on inside. He liked Maize, honestly. She was cute. She was talented, and she certainly was a lot of fun, in private of course. He liked her, but he wasn’t exactly in love with her yet. Matty could easily see himself falling in love with the girl, if he wasn’t already hung up on someone else, of course. Sure he had only known the girls for a few weeks, but he adored them all. He adored them at different levels of course, and well, Maize wasn’t exactly aware of that. She’s the naive one, and that’s how Matty liked them sometimes. He liked them to be shy and cute.
Bathroom. Second left, third stall, furthest from the door. I’m waiting ;)
And well, sometimes Matty liked the ones that could get down and dirty.
