Yes, you there! I can see you have still little tears in the corners of our eyes that you want to hide. They are still there since the moment you heard The Wanted were breaking up.
Please don’t be sad! They love you! They really do! Why else would they get up at six freaking am (or earlier) to get to a concert, or do an interview? Why else would they miss their family? They love us, their fanmily. They can sing at home or in the streets, but they sing where we are. Money? Have you even seen what they wear?!?! Jeez, even if they had a good paid stylist Jay would probably still wear purple with orange.
And cars? Two can drive right? Well.. I don’t think Nathan owns more than one car.. (I’m sorry, I forgot who else had a drivers licence.. I loved Nathan’s selfie so I remembered..)
So please,
Nathan? What if he is that boy that sits always in the far east corner of the coffee house, drinking thee as he holds the cup with both hands to warm himself up? His head is hung over the cup to warm his cold face and his ear that had turned red. Think about this break up this way; he can be a normal guy again, find a normal girl (and not such a girl that goes from boy to boy like Ariana) and live a normal life. And that girl? What if you are the girl that sits in front of him cause there are no other places to sit? Maybe he opened up that coffee shop himself and runs it? He would get up at 6 am, get downstairs cause ofcourse, he lives above the coffee shop, and make some thee before getting everything ready for his day.
What about Jay? He would probably grow his hair longer and get drunk more. His fashion sense would only go even worse. Always a beer in his hands as he opens his own club.
After a year he would grow tired of the routine and call up Jayne. “Hey… It’s me, Jay.. I was thinking.. can we get the boys and make a new album? “
Tom? He’s the guy that smiles with a big toothy grin when he sees Kelsey walking down the Aisle. Her father right beside her as his watery eyes watch her father give her hand to him. He will probably change his mind about marrying her and do it like the old big stylish wedding where Kelsey can wear all the shoes she wants. Shoes, that Nareesha designed ofcourse. Kids? Maybe one, or two. He might be a father when he meets his mates again, the kids running up to their favourite “uncle”. Nathan, who wants to be a father soon, picks up his favourite girl and spins her around. She squeals happily.
Siva, he will be married. A father of a triple with two boys and a girl. Their black hairs already on their heads when they’re born. Siva will be the happiest man alive at that moment when he sees their little faces. He will immediately call the boys, crying in the phone about how beautiful the little humans are in his arms.
And Max? He’s the guy who will try to play football again. That used to be his dream, why not pursue it? One day you will walk to the football field, picking your little brother up from the Manchester United game he just watched and you’ll see him walking with a big smile on his face, out of the arena. He just played his dream.
I don’t want to say that they are better off without The Wanted but I do want to say that we can’t stop them. They need to have their lifes figured out before continuing this dream. A man can have more dreams than one, The Wanted might be their biggest, but first they need to fullfill their other, “smaller”, dreams.
Rose... this genuinely made me cry... you're such of a beautiful person and an amazing writer, thank you and this made me smile so much! I love you dear, and we will remember that this is not the end! :') <3333333
