Everything Happens For a Reason (Bradley Simpson)

Breaking the News

Brads P.O.V
It had been about an hour since Syd texted me and I began to get worried. "Where is she?" I was being asked every ten minutes by the guys. I throw my hands up "guys I don't know stop asking questions!" I say just as my phone vibrates. Sydney finally messaged me.
From :My Girl😍: Hey I'm not gonna be able to make it today... I'm sorry. Love you.
I sigh... I wonder what's wrong with her.. Whatever I'm sure she's just not feeling well. I shake out of my thoughts and look at the guys "she can't make it. Let's go." I say grabbing my brown jacket. "Wait is she okay?" Connor asks catching up to me. The others following quickly behind. I smile "yeah I think so.." I say not sure of what's wrong. We get into Tristan's car and I look over at her house. She was home as was her mom. I wonder what was up. I needed to tell her... But she would be crushed..I push it aside as we drive to the mall
Sydney's P.O.V
I couldn't believe what had just happened today... I didn't want to. I told Brad I couldn't spend the day with him, I felt bad but this was more important. My dad came home that night and we had a long family discussion about what was gonna happen. My dad said he wanted to go visit back in New York for the next two months... To let my mom be back home with her family for her last two months alive... I agreed to go.. But I was worried about what Brad was gonna think. I don't want to sound selfish. My mothers dying, and I get that and I will support her and be there for her every step of the way, but Brad and I have been progressing in our relationship and this could stop that.... I need to tell him. But I don't know how... It's gonna crush him. My parents decided on leaving tomorrow afternoon. This all was happening fast and sudden. I was starting to feel the world just crashing down. I needed Brad. I wanted him to just come and tell me everything is gonna be alright. I walked upstairs and looked out my window. They were gone already. I guess I'll have to wait till later tonight.. I sigh and stare at my closet pulling random things down and stuff it into two suitcases. My room looks half empty now. I sigh and look at the clock 8 pm already... Wow. I lay in my bed and look at the ceiling. I just break down. I couldn't shake the thought that I'd be loosing my mother in the matter of months. I hear my door open and I sit up fast. Brad walks in and instantly a worried look spreads on his face "Sydney.. What's wrong?" He asks rushing over to me. I shake my head and wipe my eyes. He looks around and looks at me raising his eyebrows "why are your bags packed.? What's going on?" He asks. Anxious to know. I sigh and put my hands over my face and look up at him. I sigh loudly "My mom has cancer... fucking cancer" i say throwing my hands up in the air.. I couldn't believe it was happening to me out of all people. Brads face softens "what?? Oh my god" he gasps and he wraps his arms around me. I sob into his chest. It felt good to have him comfort me. "It's gonna be okay princess.." He whispers into my ear... "But why are your bags packed babe...?" He asks.. I pull away and look at him with glossy eyes... This was gonna be the hard part.
