*Eight Year Old Patric's P.O.V.*

"Hey! Don't, please! You'll break it!" I suddenly heard when I was walking the corridor of our school. It was our break, but there are not many people around this time. I just heard that distressed voice and decided to look at it.

It was those bullies picking on that girl again, I think her name is Y/N. She just transferred here last week and we're in the same grade which is 2nd grade and those bullies are like in the fourth grade I think, I honestly hate them.

They are holding Y/N's guitar away from her. It was a small guitar, yes I know its a guitar not a ukelele, I know their difference. The bullies just kept on playing with her and that's when I had enough. I know I don't understand much right now, but I'm entirely sure that bullying is bad.

"Hey! Give it back to her." I bravely said as I walk towards them and yes I am way smaller than those bullies and way younger.

"Awww, who's this? Your little boyfriend?" one of the bullies said and again, I'm disgusted by their attitude.

"You're so young to think about things as such! Don't try and act like an adult, what you're doing is childish!" I said bravely. I don't know where these words are coming from and this courage as well, but my mom always tell me to fight whenever things like this happen...I am not brought up to be someone who can be bullied.

"You're a brave one, huh? Let's see what you've got." he said and one of them walked closer to me. I stand firmly there, not moving an inch as this bully is approaching.

"Don't you hurt him!" Y/N shouted as the bully held me by my shirt, I really don't understand these people. They're so ruthless and attention seeker much.

"You don't tell us what to do!" the bullies answered her, but I saw Y/N have had enough. She finally moved, pushing the bully off of me as hard as she can and she succeeded. When the bully fell down to the ground, she took my arm and we ran off.

"I'm really sorry, but thank you for trying." Y/N said as we continued to run, unfortunately, we end up in a dead end and these bullies are still on our tail. "Uh oh, we're in trouble." she said while looking at me.

"Don't worry! I won't let them hurt you." I told her, I would never let anyone hurt a girl. The bullied appeared again and they laughed mockingly at us. 

"That hurt, little girl!" he said. I went in front of Y/N as the bully had his eyes on her. The bully walked towards us while holding Y/N's guitar and he's gone full psycho and was about to hit us with it.

"That's way out of the line, mister!" Y/N suddenly murmured and a second after that she screamed at the top of her lungs. Girls screams are so high pitched and loud and I have to be honest it also hurt my ears. 

The bullies panicked and the guy holding the guitar let go of it, but I caught it with my hands. The bullies began to run away, but then some teachers appeared on the end of the hallway. Suddenly, I heard Y/N crying. "They took my guitar and tried to hurt us with it!" she said while crying. 

"Principal's office! Now!" One of the teachers said in frustration as she led the bullies away. The other teachers have come towards us, asking if we're okay. And soon after that, they led us to the teacher's lounge area to stay there for a while.

"Are you okay?" I walked towards Y/N who's now silently sitting there. She smiled at me widely like nothing happened and like as if she hasn't cried.

"Yep! Thank you for protecting, you're really brave! I'm Y/N." she said with a smile.

"I'm Patrick and you're welcome, I know bullying is bad and I won't let them do that to you!" I said.

"I know, but they got hold of this. I was scared that they might break it, so I didn't fight back." she explained while holding her guitar.

"You really love that, don't you? You must be good at playing it." I said while sitting next to her. Suddenly, she began to play the guitar and it sounds beautiful.

This is the first time I saw someone loving music that much and I realized that I am the same too, I'm learning how to play drums right now and I just realized that it could really be something that one loves...not just a hobby.

"You play the drums?" she asked and I was shocked.

"How did you know?" I asked her. 

"You were tapping your fingers with the beat of guitar, I just figured it out." she answered and I just nodded at her.

We continued to talk about music and instruments there and I really began to realize how much I know about music. I realized that it might really be something that I love, and I found someone with the same interest. It's really enjoying to talk about music too.

-------------

For the next two years, I and Y/N have been best friends. We always hang inside the music room and just try to play the instruments there. We're both really attracted to music, that's why we got along with each other.

We're in the music room right now and I was in front of the drums and she's standing next to me, holding her guitar. We're going to try this song we originally created.

"You ready?" she asked and I gave her a nod and soon enough we began to play.

"And in the end

I'll do it all again.
I think you're my best friend.
Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright?
I'll be yours.
When it rains it pours.
Stay thirsty like before.
Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright?" we both sang as we play and it sounded amazing.

"That sounded better than I expected." Y/N said with a laugh and I agree with her.

I just smiled there and stayed silent, I really want this to continue and I know I and Y/N understand each other best about music, but now I know it's about to end.

"You okay?" she finally noticed and asked me. 

"We're moving out, Y/N. Moving out of the country, moving out of this school." I said lowly.

Y/N's expression was shocked and sad at the same time. We've been best friends for two years now and I know she knows when I'm kidding or not, but now I'm just telling the truth.

"Come on, cheer up! It's not the end of the world." she suddenly said, she became all positive all of a sudden. "Well, we'll continue with this. I mean loving music and being good at it! See? We're already making our dreams here, soon enough we'll reach it! Even when we're not together, I know we'll go far!" She said with a very hopeful tone and I chuckled there.

"You're right! There's so much out there for us to see!" I said as she sat beside me. "But hey, let's promise right here...since we've shared our dreams with each other, let's promise that we'll do our best to reach it no matter what." I said. Y/N smiled and she put out her fist with his pinky finger out.

"Pinky promise." she said while giggling and we pinky promised there.

For the whole day, we just hang out there like it was just a normal day, I really can't wait for what the future have for us.

*End of Patrick's P.O.V*

----------------------------------

*15 years later*

When Patrick moved out of the school and country, you became very busy with school and your music career. You barely had time to call and check out on him, but every time you both talk to each other, you knew he'd been busy too and already making a name wherever he is. That was the last time you have called him, but at least you know you both we're pursuing your dreams.

Communication back there is really hard since the internet is not yet that popular so as cellular phones, that's why soon enough you've lost your contact with each other. You just hope to meet him in the future. Now that almost fifteen years have passed and you're already going big in the music industry, you want nothing but to meet up with Patrick again, but you don't know where to begin searching.

Patrick wanted the same thing and now that he's a part of Fall Out Boy that is going worldwide, he really wished to meet up with you again.

Fortunately, both your and Patrick's band are invited to play at the Reading Festival. The both of you still don't know about this but it could be the chance for the both of you to meet once more.

You finally arrived at the venue and all your instruments are being put in one room. All the band's instruments will be put in there for sound check. You just made sure your guitar was there. It was a new version of your old one when you were eight, but it has the same design to it. You don't want to change the design because that was what reminds you of your dream, it's like a signature to you. You just let them get your instrument as you and your band moved to your own tent.

On the other hand, Patrick chose to bring his guitar to that storage area himself. Once he arrived there he just put it next to his band member's instruments. He was just about to leave when he suddenly spotted a very familiar guitar. Patrick stopped his tracks and the nostalgia hit him almost immediately. He walked over to it, observing it as the memories of his childhood flashback, most especially your first meet up which is when those bullies took this guitar.

"Hi, something wrong with my guitar?" You asked while smiling as you decided to check on your instrument. You saw a guy looking at it intensely, you have no idea who he is that time, but the moment he looked at you, you just couldn't believe.

"I knew it was you!" Patrick said while chuckling and both of you just sprinted and hugged each other!

"Patrick! God! I can't believe I'll be seeing you here!!" You said excitedly. Both of you are smiling widely at each other, 

"I and our band will be playing...and you're here too, which means...

"I'll be playing too!" you cut him off.

You've both reached your dreams and you're together again. Both of you have ignited the talent and passion you have years ago and now you're just keeping the fire burning. Finally, after many years you still greeted each other like before...and this time maybe, you'll just continue the relationship you both left off with.
