Try Again

I met nearly 16 years ago now, well that's what I remember at the time, I was only two at the time, now I'm 18 and we've been best friends ever since I can remember. Although he was three years older than me we always got on so well nothing could ever come between us, we could always tell each other everything, or so I thought.
For the past six months hadn't been home, he was constantly on tour with Blue, when they first started out we'd call each other like five and six times a day but as the years went on things have changed. I hear a lot more from , who's my boyfriend, but I miss hearing from .

'Hi , how are you?'
'I'm ok thanks , and how is my babes?' I asked.
'I'm ok missing you but we'll be home in two days are you coming to the airport to get me?' He asked hopefully.
'Just try and stop me. How is everyone else?' I asked making conversation.
' moaning he's tired and missing . Oh and has a new girlfriend, she's called and she's really nice, he told you when he phoned right?' Asked .
'You know , that he hasn't called in almost four months, I've called him and left messages on his mobile but he never gets back to me, but you're the important one to me.'
'Ok darling I have to go, on stage in 5 minutes. I love you.'
'Love you too bye.'
I couldn't believe that was getting on with his life and had completely forgotten about me and I was his supposed best friend. The next two days went by pretty quickly and on Thursday I picked up , 's girlfriend and we headed off to the airport.

There weren't any fans around because nobody knew the guys were coming home. and came out of the arrivals lounge followed by on his own, I had been expecting to see him with this girl but she wasn't there. ran and hugged whilst I ran to , we just stood there hugging each other for what seemed like an eternity. I looked up and saw standing in the middle of the four of us looking from and to and I.
I didn't know what to do go and hug him or just say hi, he seemed distant and as if had read my mind he whispered to me that him and weren't together anymore. didn't go into particulars he couldn't whilst was standing there, I looked at him and he looked sad.

'Hi .' I whispered as and I parted.
'Hey.' Was all of an answer I got. I knew something was wrong. The other three walked on ahead as I stood next to him.
'Want to get a coffee?' I asked him. He looked at me.
'Oops maybe that should be a tea since you hate coffee.' I said and he smiled faintly.
'Thought you'd forgotten.'
'Not my best friends' least favorite drink, never.' I said and he hugged me.
I gently hugged him back and he whispered; 'thank you, for being you'.
'What?' I asked puzzled.
'We need to have a good old gossip I need your advice.'
'Let's go get that coffee. I mean tea.'
'You so aren't funny.' He said as he picked me up and carried me off in the direction of the nearest caf�.

We ordered two teas and sat down at a quiet table in the corner, he sat down and looked thoughtful. 'Sorry for not calling, I've been somewhat self absorbed these past four months.' He said and took my hand as he began to tell me what had happened.
'Well I met about four months back in Sweden, she was one of our dancers and we got on really well. I asked her out and she agreed. I trusted her so much, that's why I stopped calling I had her to speak to. By the time I realized I needed to have you even if I had her I thought I'd already hurt you too much and so I decided not to call. I'm sorry.'
'That's ok .' I added as he continued his story.

'Well as I said I really trusted her and I just was blind I guess. The other's could see that she was just with me for being from Blue and not . I had so many fights with about her, he would tell me she was no good but I wouldn't listen, I wish I had now.'
'Come on , understands we all do.'
'I know I have great friends I just don't think I realized it until now, anyway I caught her on the phone a couple of days ago, she was saying how she had me wrapped around her little finger and that I'd give her money soon enough and start buying her expensive presents. That did it I dumped her, I could take her having a go at the guys because we can't expect everyone to always get on but when she started about the money I had enough.' He finished with tears in his eyes.

'I'm sorry , that you had to go through that.'
'I know , it's just I thought she was the one, that her and I could have what you and have, someone always there for you to love and to be loved back by.' He stopped as he wiped a tear away from his eyes.

' you know and I and all the other guys too are always here for you and we love you too.'
'I know and I love you guys too, I'm just so lucky to have friends like you guys.' answered as we hugged.
'You know something when the time is right you will find someone, the one that's right for you and you'll know when that is I promise you.'
'And I promise you something, I'll never let anyone come between our friendship ever again. Friends always and forever?' He asked.
'Always and forever.' I replied as we hugged.
