chapter 7

bryce pov
i'm so glad that we got through this slight complication without too much hassle.. all it took was some flowers. i mean i don't even know if addison hated me after seeing the video of riley and i, but she didn't now and that's all that mattered.

i was about to work out but before i did, my phone starting ringing.. it was addison. of course i wouldn't decline her facetime, addison over gainz any day. not long into the call, with a smirk on her face, addison said "so is it not what it looks like?" "no, not at all.. i hardly remember anything from that night, but just know that nothing more happened and we both know that i would choose you anywhere, anytime, over anyone" i said, addison blushing.. she was so cute.

"what are your plans for the rest of the day?" i asked her.. "nothing, just another one of those same old days in lockdown." "wanna come over? none of the boys are gonna be here tonight.. they're all off being simps." "oh so you want to be a simp as well?" addison teased.. "how could i not be a simp for you?" i replied, making her blush again. she then told me that she'd come over and we ended the call. i was so excited, we haven't seen each other in weeks.

"he asked me to come over" i revealed to dixie over the phone as i told her about bryce and i. "oh my god addi you better not have turned down his offer" "of course not dix, but i need to get ready so i'll speak to you soon" "okay bye, have fun with bryce and you better tell me all about it!!"

bryce had asked me to come over and i literally couldn't wait, so after calling dixie to let out my excitement, i threw on some jeans and a shirt and headed to sway. because we've been talking quite a lot recently i wasn't nervous, i was just excited. i didn't know what we were going to do, but i didn't care.. i knew that i'd be with bryce and that's more than enough.

as i pulled up the memories rushed back.. in particular the time i was last here.. "i love you bryce... you've made me so happy these last few months... you've also been my shoulder to cry on... remember i'm always here for you..." "addison, i love you more than you could ever know... the happiest i've been in a long time... the biggest simp... i'm only a call away too." why was i even thinking about this..? i cleared my mind and got out of my car, texting bryce to let him know i'd arrived.

as i opened the door, addison ran into my arms, wrapping her arms around my waist and burying her face into my neck. "hey" i said softly as we released from the hug, addison replying "hi bryce!!" with a smile on her face.. i missed seeing that smile. i also missed her laugh, her jokes, her hugs.. just everything about her. i missed her so much.

we walked inside and headed up to my room, addison becoming frozen in her thoughts as we went in.

once again, the memories came back as we walked into bryce's room.. but this time happy memories, us laughing, cuddling, watching mov- "everything okay addison?" bryce asked, interrupting my thoughts.. "yeah my mind just became full of memories." "memories of what?" bryce questioned, laying on his bed motioning me to join him. i didn't really know what i was supposed to do so i just sat on the edge of his bed.. "addison can you make yourself comfortable please?" he said cutely. i then laid next to him and answered his question.. "us. memories of us. just everything. it all came back to me as i pulled up and then again when i came inside."

bryce and i then talked about our favourite moments together, leading to us speaking about how we've felt over the last few months. we've spoken about it before over the phone but never as deeply as this, but i was glad that we felt comfortable opening up to each other in this way. "i remember seeing everything with you and tony back in february. i'm not going to lie to you, i was sad about it. i told myself not to be because all i wanted was for you to be happy, so if he made you happy, he made you happy and that's what you deserved. but he didn't and i'm sorry about everything that you went through with him. before the party i really thought that there was something going on between you guys and i couldn't get my mind off of it. my feelings for you never went, so i guess seeing another guy trying so hard to be with you just hurt me.. hurt me because it could've meant that we would never get back together." hearing bryce speak made me feel a bit emotional, not necessarily because i was sad, but just because everything he was saying was so genuine and heartfelt.. it showed how much he loves and cares about me. i'm so grateful for him being in my life.

i then talked about how i felt seeing him and riley, somehow having ended up laying on his chest with his arms around me.. "i felt a similar way seeing that video of you and riley. i guess it just hurt for me to see someone i loved so much kissing another girl.. i know we weren't together but i wanted us to be and that's why it hit me so hard. all i could think about was whether you guys were together, or whether you would be in the future. as much as i wanted you to just be happy, it made me sad to think about the possibility of us not being together again."

i turned myself over and pulled myself up closer to bryce so that i could wrap my arms around his neck. we both held on to the hug tightly, appreciating each other's touch. bryce rubbed my back and kissed my forehead before we pulled away from the hug, me laying on my side, his left arm still around me.

we then decided to put on a movie and just chill, cuddled up to each other of course. "i missed this" i said.. "i missed this too" bryce replied, pulling me closer to him.

***
happy four months to bryce and addison !! <3
also i'm not the biggest fan of bryce and loren's little prank thing, but i was asleep when it happened so thankfully i didn't have time to stress over it because when i woke up everyone had already established that it was fake.. anyway i hope we get a bit of content this weekend and they don't drag out the prank, i mean i don't think they will because everyone knows it's a prank and there's no point continuing with it if they've finished filming the video. okay this is getting long, hope you enjoyed the chapter
