NOT WITHOUT MY GHOSTS (FEAT. PHEM) – THE AMITY AFFLICTION [x] NOT WITHOUT MY GHOSTS (2023)

[yandere-herrscher]

I am a sinking ship, I am the anchors deep

Set to the ocean floor in an eternal sleep

My heart is heavy stone, my body brittle bones

My mind an endless storm out in the cold unknown

'cause I've got to find my light again

My heart is beating fast, when will this ever end?

Can I find my way back home again, this road I travel on it never seems to end..

[a-holy-hell]

"I can't seem to exist like I'm really alive So should I just end all of this? Hide behind my mask where I'm already dead And still, I can't just end it yet I can't seem to exist like I'm really alive So should I just end all of this? I don't want to exist but I have to survive"

THE AMITY AFFLICTION: AHREN STRINGER

AHREN

'Ahren you need to stop tapping your foot because it's annoying as hell, and because we'll be home soon,' Joel moans loudly next to me probably regretting choosing to sit next to me on the flight.

I look down to see my right foot tapping away without my knowledge since I was lost in my own head and stop it, 'sorry Joel.'

Joel smirks and shakes his head, 'some people might assume you're eager to meet a partner, not a friend.'

I glare at Joel, 'Y/N and I are best friends, we tried dating when we were younger and realised we were better as friends. Everyone has a person and Y/N is my person.'

Joel throws his head back and laughs, 'thank god you're not this soppy on stage.'

I punch him in the shoulder and go back to staring out of the window. Y/N and I had been friends since birth as our parents knew each other, we told each other everything and didn't like to be away from one another for too long. Long tours were a pain, but the best feeling was coming home again.

Y/N was a teacher so was unable to travel with us, though they did try to come to every show in Australia if their timetable allowed it. However, the summer holidays were just starting and I had the best surprise for Y/N that would make our time apart worth it.

-AFTER FLIGHT-

'How do you think Y/N will react?' Dan asks, glancing over from the driver's seat.

I play with my fingers nervously in my lap, 'hopefully she'll say yes-'

'Wow Joel was right about you being whipped,' Dan interrupts me chuckling to himself, 'Y/N would go to the end of the world with you if you asked them to.'

I give him the finger, 'if you knew the answer why did you ask?'

Dan smiles widely, 'it's interesting to watch you squirm. Anyway, here we are.'

The car comes to a stop outside a small house, and I get out. My apartment was being renovated so Y/N was letting me stay in their spare bedroom. Dan doesn't even bother to help me with my bags.

'AHREN!' a familiar voice shouts loudly from the porch of the house.

Next thing I know Y/N comes all but running down the stairs and drive towards me grinning like an idiot. I brace myself for impact as they throw their arms around me and squeeze tightly.

I chuckle and hug them back, 'someone's been waiting haven't they?'

Y/N blushes a little and pulls back, 'ever since Joel messaged me that you'd landed. Hey Dan.'

'Good to see you again Y/N, It's been too long,' Dan calls back.

Y/N helps me get my bags out of the trunk and waves at Dan before dragging them up the driveway. I wave at Dan and watch him pull away before following after Y/N with the rest of my bags.

When I get inside Y/N stares between me and the bags, and I roll my eyes at what they were not so subtly getting at, 'yes I got you presents.'

Y/N fist pumps and heads down the hallway to the kitchen, 'I'll get you some water Ahren.'

I open one of the suitcases and take out some small boxes that had been tucked away to keep them from breaking. I make my way toward the kitchen with the gifts. Y/N had their back to me getting two glasses of water so I place the boxes on the kitchen counter and cleared my throat.

Y/N turns around and their eyes light up, 'you're the only person who feeds my habit Ahren, everyone else thinks I'm crazy.'

Y/N loved tea and when we travelled around the world I liked to buy them interesting flavours. They literally had a whole kitchen drawer dedicated to tea bags.

I shrug my shoulders, 'what can I say it's what best friends do for one another.'

Y/N walks over and hugs me, this time with less squeeze, 'I missed you so much Ahren, I'm happy you're back even if it's for a couple of weeks before heading out again for festivals.'

I can't keep the smile off my face, 'do you have any summer plans?'

Y/N shakes their head, 'not really, it's odd but every time I try to arrange something with friends or family they tell me they are busy.

'Well, I have something else to give you that hopefully makes your summer better.'

Y/N pulls out of the hug and tilts their head to the side watching me curiously, 'what else could you possibly have for me Ahren?'

I take my phone out of my pocket and open my emails, before opening one that had flight information for when we started festivals and hand it to Y/N.

Y/N blinks as they scan over the details, 'they are your plane tickets Ahren.'

I shake my head, 'check the names Y/N, they are our flight tickets. You're coming with us for the whole summer.'

Y/N gasps and puts the phone down on the counter staring at me with wide eyes, 'are you serious Ahren? Is that why people didn't want to make plans with me? You cheeky sod, you really are my best friend.'

I lean against the counter and pick up one of the glasses of water and smirk, 'I'm guessing your answer is yes Y/N.'

Y/N nods vigorously and playfully punches me in the shoulder, 'hell yeah, you're going to be stuck with me the whole summer Ahren.'

I was happy to be home, I was happy to see Y/N again, and we didn't have long until the festival season started and we'd be together every single day. Most people wouldn't want to be with their best friend for that long but Y/N and I never got sick of each other's company.
