To Be Loved By You - Brad Simpson Fanfiction

Chapter Twenty-Three

A/N: FINALLY 

Let me know what you think xxx

All the families have gathered in the back of the venue. A couple fans have recognized them. They kept turning around when we walked in and got all giggly.

Now the dads are standing by the bar, all getting a beer, James, Connors and Tristans mums are standing with Lucy and Kirstie close to Anne-Marie, Nat and me. They both came over to hug me when they saw me.

George, Reece and Blake have just left the stage and everyone is waiting for the Vamps to come on. When they do, the crowd goes wild and so do all of us. It's actually pretty fun to be surrounded by all the families. It kinda makes me feel like I'm a part of them.

The concert is over way too quickly.

And for the first time on this tour, I'm looking forward to an after party. I'm not ready for all of this to be done yet.

I get in a car with Joe, Reece and Blake that takes us to Brad's family's bar.

The boys are the last to arrive and everyone starts clapping and cheering when they walk in. I notice they've changed clothes. Judging how sweaty Brad gets on stage it's probably for the better.

'So, what kind of drinks are you into?', Nat asks me.

I didn't even realize she walked up to me.

'She likes sweet drinks.'

Brad's voice almost makes me freeze on the spot. Nat immediately pulls her brother in a hug. 'You did so good tonight', she gushes. There's this big smile on his lips again.

I want him to pull me in a hug too. Wrap his arms around me tightly.

It's no surprise to me that he doesn't.

But I would be lying if I didn't admit it still hurt.

'I'll get you two something', he says and walks off.

Nat pulls me over to a free table. On the table next to us a big group of only boys have settled down. I'm pretty sure I've seen them at the concert.

'Brad's friends', Nat explains as she notices my curious look. I take my eyes off of them.

'I'm pretty sure Brad's missed them a lot. He's not been home in a while.'

'Is he coming home often?', I ask. I know I shouldn't be asking about him. I wanted a clear cut, right? I don't think talking to his sister about him falls into that category.

'Usually yeah. But with tour and everything going on he hasn't been home in months. At least it felt like that to me.'

'So, you two are close?'

Another question.

Damn it, Lizzy.

Nat's eyes light up. 'Definitely. We've always been but I'm pretty sure even more so ever since we both moved out from home. Made me realize how much I love him.'

I can't help it. Nat's words warm my heart. I definitely feel the same way about my brother.

'Here you go ladies.' Brad puts two glasses down in front of us whilst he balances a couple beers in his other hand.

Before either of us can say anything he's off to the table where his mates sit. He's greeted with big cheers and he starts laughing with them. But he doesn't stay long. He only hands them the beers, then he walks to a table where I spot his mum. He squeezes into the booth next to her and puts his arm around her.
