Is this love? // Bradley will Simpson fanfic//

Chapter 5

"Explain your self" James said, with a mixture of worried and annoyance on his face.
"I.. He... Abu.... Nn never mind" I stuttered.
"I'm done with you, I think that you should just leave." James said- Looking at me blankly. I got up off the floor and ran back into the house, got my things and ran all the way home. I couldn't hold back these tears that were threatening to spill. Then it happened. The waterfall of tears I had held back are free flowing down my pale cheeks.
He thinks I have a boyfriend and that I'm using Brad... It doesn't matter what they thought of me before, they're all going to hate me now.
--------------------

It was now Sunday and I hadn't left my room once since coming home. I can't bare to move, not only do some of my only friends, and the boy I like hate me, I was reminded of the past that I'd been trying so hard to push back. My crazy abusive ex boyfriend- Liam. He made me do things that I didn't want to do, and he hurt me... Physically and mentally. As soon as I think about it, it makes me cry again, that's why I'm scared to get too close to Brad and I tired so hard to tell myself that I didn't like him. I'm scared. Scared of being hurt. Scared of my heart being broken again. But when I'm with Brad, my broken heart start to stick back together, piece by piece. Now I have no chance.

I decided to call Sophie, as I need someone to talk to, I'm not one of those girls who keeps her feelings bottled up, I like to talk about it. I got my phone out and dialled her number.
"Hey tasha! How are you"
"I've been better, what are you doing today"
"Why what's up? And nothing, I'm so bored."
"Fancy coming round?"
"Yeah!il be over in 10... Wait, where do you live?"
"Erm I don't know, il meet you at tesco" I laughed, "also, you could sleep at mine and we can get ready for school together?"
"Okay, sure! bye"
"Bye"

As I was new I wasn't entirely sure where I lived, or that she would know where it was if I told her, but I lived like 10 mins away from tesco so I just walked there.
----------
At tesco...

I waited there for Sophie, then I saw a girl coming towards me.
"Tash!" She yelled, pulling me into a big hug.
"Hey!" I shouted and hugged her back, "let's go shall we?"
"Yep" she said, popping the p.
---------

"So what's up, you sounded like you needed to speak to me when we were on the phone earlier!?" Sophie asked, whilst stuffing her mouth with chocolate.
"It's the boys" I said, sighing.
"The boys?" She asked, looking confused.
"Yeah.. Brad, James, con, tris"i asked.
"Oh right, I didn't realise you knew them all and hung round with them...." She replied, turning her nose up slightly, but as soon as I saw her, she smiled.
"Anyway..." I carried on, confused at her reaction, "I have something I want to tell you. Before I moved to Birmingham, I lived In Liverpool."
"Ohh!"she interrupted, "I always thought you sounded quite Scouse!" She giggled and I just laughed.
"Yep, so anyway, I had this boyfriend, and he, he, well let's just say he didn't treat me very well.. Atal." Her face dropped and her facial expression become more serious.
"He used to pressure into things I didn't want to do..." I carried on, though I felt my eyes tearing up. She put her hand on my shoulder,
"Go on" she said, sadly.
"Yeah, so he used to beat me too, and I ended up getting really socially shy and lost a few friends because I just didn't want to speak to anyone in case they found out. I also missed quite a bit of school because I had to stay home whilst some of the really bad bruises healed enough for me to cover them with makeup or a scarf or something" I said, beginning to cry, though I proceeded.
"So we moved house because my mum found out, and she was so upset and scared for me. So we moved here and didn't tell anyone." Sophie began to tear up slightly and I felt quite bad.
"Well, yesterday I was at brads with the boys, and he asked if I wanted to sleep over with all of them, so I agreed, and James drove me home to get my stuff. He came into my room with me, and whilst I was in the bathroom, someone called my phone, so James answered. He didn't tell me this until later on though, but il come to that. So we got back to brads after a really awkward car journey, and I snuck up behind him and scared him, so then we just started hugging and James walked in- saw us- then walked straight back out. I went to see what was up with him and he said that my 'boyfriend' called when I was in the bathroom and told James to tell me that 'he likes my new house' so James was getting really angry with me because he thinks I have a boyfriend and I'm just using Brad to break his heart. I stared braking down right in front of him and nearly had a panic attack. Sophie.... Liam (my crazy ex) knows where I live! he's found me!) so I got really scared. James then told me to get out, so I just ran all the way home. "
