Everything Happens For a Reason (Bradley Simpson)

First Show and Secrets

I collapse in Caitlin's arms.
"What am I gonna do?" I ask sobbing. My whole world completely falling before my eyes. Caitlin started to say things to me to try and comfort me, but I just blocked them out and stared at the wall. My head snapped as I heard the door open. My heart raced thinking it was Brad, but it was only Macy and Jessica. They widened their eyes as they saw my tear stained face.
"What in the world is going on?" Jessica rushed over to me.
Macy's eyes are drawn to the test in my hands and gasps.
"No..." She says biting her lip,
Causing me to nod and cry even more.
She comes over and wraps her arms around me.
After a few minutes of attempting to calm down I finally catch my breath. I stare at the ground.
"I can't tell him." I say shaking my head.
Caitlin sighs. "You have to Syd. It's his.."
"Yeah you have to... If it al fails you have us." Macy says smiling trying to cheer me up.
I sigh and nod "I know I have to.. Just not yet." I say wiping my eyes..
They all look at me waiting for me to say something.
"I'm fine guys.. I'll still go tonight but please don't baby me or make it look like I'm hiding something okay?" I ask. They nod and I sit back in my bed, trying to take in what was happening. I'm pregnant, with brads baby. What if he wanted nothing to do with it. What if he breaks up with me. I bite my lip stoping the tears forming. I hear our connecting door open meaning the boys were up. I wiped my eyes and sat on the bed on my phone looking like id been doing this all morning.
I feel two arms wrap around me. I smile slightly and turn over. I see Brads smiley face staring at me.
"Hellllooo" he smiles kissing me
I smile and kiss him back.
"Good morning" I say ruffling his hair.
I smile at him. He was so happy and excited for tonight. I wasn't gonna ruin it by telling him.
Joe calls them to get ready and go to the venue. The girls and I had planned to meet there before the concert started.
I shut the door as the guys left and sighed loudly. Caitlin popped around the corner.
"Hey it's gonna be okay!" She says hugging me.
I nod "I know I'm just scared..." I say honestly.
She nods "but you have us and we are gonna be here every step of the way..." She smiles wide.
I nod and squeeze her one more time before going to take a shower.
I let the hot water hit my body as I stare into space.
I put aside all the bad thoughts and considered the good things that could happen... It made me smile at the thought. Then reality hit and I realized I needed to tell him. I sigh and finish my shower and step out.
I change into a white lace romper, with brads denim jacket and brown wedges. I sat in the bathroom and straightened my hair and did my makeup. Once I had finished, I walk out and sit in the living room with the rest of the girls who were already ready.
They didn't mention my situation because they knew I was sensitive at the moment.
We walked down to the lobby and headed out the door to walk to the venue only a few minutes away.
We made it to the venue and we got our passes at willcall that Joe had reserved for us. We walked in the arena just in time for the boys soundcheck. I saw fifth harmony sitting in the front row watching them. I was nervous to meet them. The seemed nice so I think I'd be
Okay.
We sat in the second row back and Brad gave me googly eyes as he strummed some chords on his guitar. They start singing some songs and the girls and I watch in awe. Proud of how far they've come.
I look over to my right and find Fifth Harmony up and dancing around. Which made the boys laugh. One of the girls... I think It was Lauren, kept staring at Brad, and he would often look at her but then back at me smiling and winking. I laughed to myself as she looked over at me and then back at Brad who was looking at me, his eyes full of love. She looked Really jealous. That sucks Brads mine.
After the soundcheck we went to the boys dressing room with Joe to hangout before they went on. We walked a corner and saw the boys chatting with fifth harmony. I smiling fake. And Brad pulled me into a side hug. "These are our girlfriends!" He says pointing to is. "This is Sydney,
Jessica, and Macy!" He adds. I smile and wave.
They all look really sincere, even Lauren. Maybe I just misjudged her! They smile and wave back
"Well it's nice to meet you! We have to get to soundcheck. Bye!" Camila say, the girls walking the opposite direction.
We go into the dressing room and sit on the couches and talk. Caitlin keeps staring at me. Probably making sure I'm okay. I glare at her and hug Brad tighter
"You okay?" He asks raising his eyebrows.
I nod quickly "of course why wouldn't I be??" I laugh and kiss him.
He nods "just checking"
We stay like this for a while. The boys talking about tonight. I really didn't pay attention.
Soon we had to get moving to find our way to our seats in the front to watch the boys preform. We sat dead center and waited for them to come on. Fifth harmony preformed. They were really good. Very scandalous dancing though, but the fans loved it! Which made me laugh. They boys came on next. I smiled immediately when I saw Brad. He looked so happy! Like nothing could bring him down. Then I thought about the baby. And my smile dropped. I knew I had to tell him soon... I would tell him in Houston when I see him in two weeks. I wouldn't be showing yet.. It would be perfect timing.
I didn't know how but my hand slowly found its way resting over my stomach, like a natural maternal instinct. Caitlin nudged me and I looked down and pulled it off . I looked back up at Brad and he smiled at me then winked and continued to preform. His onstage presence was amazing. I couldn't ruin his happiness telling him... I was so shook up. I am conflicted. I am sort of excited... But I'm nervous as well
