Ride ➵ Bradley Simpson

chapter two.

Present time.
Casey's POV.

"Bradley," I finally spoke up, breaking the silence.

Brad and I had been lying in his bed for the last 3 hours, flipping between different TV shows to watch. We currently had Breaking Bad on since it was a show we both enjoyed.

"Yeah Casey?" Brad said huskily.

I stayed silent again, twindling my fingers together. Once he noticed my silence he knew something was bothering me. He leant up and turned to face me, leaning on his elbow. As we laid side-by-side I refused to look up and make eye contact with Brad.

"What's bothering you.." he said quietly, grabbing the loose hairs that fell across my face and moving them behind my ear.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked up to him.

"It...it's getting worse." I said trying to hold back my tears, but I couldn't. Before I knew it they were streaming down my face as Brad pulled me into his chest, holding me close.

It was currently raining outside and I was in a large sweater and track pants, I didn't try to look my best in front of Brad anymore, we became so close that the way we looked around each other simply did not matter.

"Please don't cry.." he said kissing my
forehead. "I promise you Casey you are going to get through this, we are going to get through this. Together. I'm never going to leave you and I know it must be so so hard for you, I can only imagine but I promise you that this pain is not permanent," he continued placing another kiss on my head.

The feelings Brad gave me I could never describe. He made me feel so warm. Even when there was nothing else except ice inside my soul.

"I love you so much Bradley Simpson," I said, sniffling into his chest.

"And I love you too Casey Fletcher, always," he said planting another kiss on my head.

-

You see, Casey loved Brad; and Brad loved Casey. They had this un-breakable bond that nothing or no one could destroy. They weren't dating though, they both wanted something more but both feared that if something were to go wrong, there would be no Bradley and Casey anymore. Brad would never break her heart, and Casey would never find herself against Brad, but it was just a fear that was there anyway. They truly loved each other, but could it ever be more than friends?

I pull away from Brad's tight squeeze and look up at him, "why you stick with me, I have no idea," I said giving him a small smile as I booped his nose with my finger.

"Maybe because I know behind all the pain you have inside, there is the real Casey waiting to jump out and kick depressions butt... and I'm going to help you kick it out too," he said, booping my nose back.

The smile fell off my face as I got lost in my own thoughts again, "wh..what if I can't beat it?" I said lowering my head.

Bradley gently placed his hand under my chin and moved my face up to look back at his, "Casey you can beat it. I can tell you this a million times but I need you to believe it too. You can beat this," he said cupping my cheeks. "Besides, you have an amazing side-kick named Bradley Simpson to help destroy all you pain," he said smirking.

My smile widened as I rolled my eyes, "whatever would I do without you,"

"I have no idea." he said with a wink.
