Everything Happens For a Reason (Bradley Simpson)

Blast From The Past

Brads P.O.V

I was so stoked. I finally had the balls to ask Sydney out! She was different... You don't see many girls like her. I had a really romantic date set up, and I was almost set on asking her to be my girlfriend. I know it seemed cliche to do it on our first date but.. who cares? I was almost ready, just had to tame the mop on the top of my head. After making myself look somewhat presentable I walked down the stairs and looked at the mess, "Eh ill clean it later.." i say to myself putting on my shoes. My parents were out of town visiting my grandma, and were arriving back next week. I was quickly interrupted out of my thoughts when the doorbell rang. "What the hell?" I muttered to myself as i walked to the door and opened it. My eyes widened as I saw someone I never thought I'd see again. "BRADLEY!" she screamed throwing herself onto me. It was my ex. Lexi. We dated all throughout high school, but we broke up because our feelings just weren't the same. It wasn't a terrible breakup, it was mutual. I snapped back to reality. "hey lexi.. Umm what are you doing here?" I ask scratching the back of my head. She smiles " I just came to see you silly, I haven't seen you.. and i miss you.." she smiles taking my hand. I laugh uncomfortably and pull my hand away. "You kinda caught me at a bad time." i say motioning as I was all dressed up. She nods and sighs sadly.. "Oh i see.. It's just i drove all this way here to see you.... and i dont have any where to stay tonight" she says looking down. Oh my god.. what the hell should I do.. I can't stand up Syd... but i can't leave Lexi on the streets.. "Uh.. Um no its fine.. Ill just stay in." i say smiling fakely. She smiles wide "You're the best Brad!" she exclaims as she jumps onto me and kisses my cheek. I sigh and walk back inside and sit on the couch with her... blocking out her rambling, just staring at the messages Sydney sent me not knowing what to reply.. Boy am i in deep shit.

Sydneys P.O.V

I woke up and sighed realizing last night was not a bad dream after all. Brad really did live up to the sterotype of the douchebag celebrity. I looked in the mirror and saw just mascara stained down my face. I groaned. I quickly freshened up and changed into casual clothes. I was going to drive to Brads and figure out why the hell he stood me up. I grabbed my keys and headed out the door. I crusied through the neighborhood before stopping infront of a red bricked house that belonged to Brad and his family. But there was an unfamiliar car in the driveway. It wasn't brads red sportscar, or his moms SUV. that I had seen here before a few weeks back for one of our usual movie gatherings. I shrugged it off and parked into the driveway. I got out and sighed and braced myself for what was to come. I shook off the nerves and knocked on the door. I instantly regretted it... If i run now i can make it bef- i was interupted by a girl- may i add beautiful, blonde, fit, and tan.. opened the door. I widened my eyes as she was only in a t shirt..it was Brads Arctic Monkeys T shirt, he always wore that thing. We met eyes and she smirked "Can i help you?" God i wanted to slap that smirk off her face. Stop Sydney youre acting psycho... you arent even dating him yet calm down. I smile polietly "Yeah.. umm is Brad home... and who are you?" i ask her. She sighs and shakes her head "No he just left about 10 minuted ago to go to band rehearsal and im Lexi.. his really.. really good friend!" she smiles leaning against the door. I nod slowly "Should i take a message?" she asks looking me up and down.. I shake my head and run to my car.. Oh this boy is gonna hear it from me.. I sped down the street making my way into Tristans driveway, sure enough there was Brads car. I walked out the car and basically ran into the house not bothering to knock. I walked until i made it to the garage. I stopped before opening, i heard Brads angelic voice filling up the house. It made me smile, but i quickly frowned again before barging in all eyes on me. I could already feel my eyes glazing up as Brad and I made eye contact. He looks at me and starts to speak "Sydn-" he starts. I shake my head "Save it Brad... Look i dont know if this was some kind of game for you or what but i dont wanna play. You made me believe you really were into me and made me start to fall for you, but you stood me up. I felt some way i havent felt in a really long time. I honestly believed you were a sweet down to Earth guy that wasn't caught up in his ego but i was wrong." I say shaking my head a tear slipped out my eye. I quickly wipe it and start for the door. Everyone was in shock including Brad. "I can explain Sydney.." Brad starts again. I sigh and roll my eyes "Lexi already did.." i say walking off. I dont care how crazy I sound. He hurt me and deserved to know.
