Late Night Drives - BWS (completed)

Bradley

As I walk home I walk past a 24 hour shop. Craving more alcohol I walk in. I pick up a bottle and put it down again. What the fuck am I doing?

Like Jess I have my habits, although both are dangerous, mine could fuck up my whole career.

Walking out of the shop I take my earphones out of my pocket as well as my phone as I let the Arctic Monkeys play. I like being out at night. It gets me away from everything for a while, it's near enough a zero percent chance of me being mobbed by fans.

I wonder if the boys have noticed I've gone?

I shove my hands into my pockets as I continue walking. The streetlights being my only light source.

4:34am

I finally arrive back at Tristans, the front door is locked but luckily one of the boys was a top notch twat and left the bathroom window open. I quietly climb up the guttering, carefully taking a step onto the roof. I slip on a loose tile and curse under my breath. As I continue to get closer to the window I turn on my phone torch to lead the remainder of the way.

As I climb through the window I laugh quietly to myself, what kind of a twat leaves their window wide open overnight? I gently close the window before quietly exiting the bathroom. I quietly walk towards the room I'm staying in at Tristans. Just as I go to open my door, the door to James' room opens. "Shit" I mumble.

"Where've you been, wild night out?" James whispers smirking, quietly trying to prevent the others from waking up and getting involved.

"Fuck off James" I hiss under my breath.

"You need to stop with the drinking and sleeping around Brad, it's not doing you any good. I'm surprised you're not smoking yet."

"Well you'll be shocked. I've had a wake up call and I've stopped"

"How long will it last this time Brad?"

"I met a girl" I change the subject.

"And you fucked her and then ran off again?" James laughs quietly.

"Actually, no. She's a friend." I emphasise the word 'friend' by dragging it out.

"Yeah, friends with benefits more like"

"For fuck sake James, we're just friends. I haven't even kissed her!" I hiss quietly.

"Sorry Brad" James speaks.

"Don't bother" I spit as I close my door.

5:01am

I now stare at the ceiling, all I can seem to think about is Jess. She's a good person. Not anyone would pick up a complete stranger in the middle of the night on a backroad. I've barely known her a few days and she's already changed me. I'm going to stop drinking and having sex without meaning.

She stops the pain; I don't need the alcohol when she's around.

My eyes begin to feel heavy as I fall asleep.

1:01pm

I'm woken as the boys come into my room.

"Wake up" Tristan and Connor shout in unison as they proceed to jump on the bed.

Eventually I give in and sit up. The boys sit around somewhere in the room.

"Joe said we need to try and find a second photographer before we leave tomorrow" James speaks.

"Off you go then" I laugh.

"Don't you know any?" Connor asks.

"Not that I know of" I reply. Well the truth is, I probably do, it's just Jess is preventing my mind from thinking.

"Who was the girl that dropped you home the other night?" Tristan asks.

"Jess" I reply bluntly.

"You're new fuck buddy?" Tristan chuckles.

"No actually, she's just a friend. Just shut up, that jokes old now guys" I reply angrily.

"We were only joking mate" Connor adds.

"Please can you just stop with your shitty jokes, they're not funny anymore!" I snap.

"We're sorry" James says with meaning.

I just chuckle, shaking my head. They're always sorry, but they never seem to mean it.

"So is that where you were last night?" James adds.

"Yeah, she's stopped me from drinking." I reply.

"She must be pretty special then" Tristan smiles.

"We're only friends, but yeah, I guess she is" I smile.

They don't need to know about me meeting her tonight. Although, I smile at the fact I'll see her again. However, I'll have to break the news to her that I leave tomorrow.

I don't want to go.

"Come on guys, band practise!" Connor shouts enthusiastically as the boys pull be out of bed.
