Being Brad's Sister

34. Singling it down

Brad’s pov

I’ve basically done nothing over the past few days excpet for watch films, lounge around, eat and sleep. Joe has said the lads and I could have the week off concidering the circumstances so I am making the most of every second. As for the whole family situation, word has broken out that my family have split up and the fans and our friends are being so supportive it is brilliant. Mum is living with our Aunt, dad and mum are officially seperated and we are all a lot happier. Dad is a lot more relaxed, Em is happier in herself because she doesn’t have mum sitting there putting her down all the time and I am feeling a lot better because I don’t have someone sitting there piling the pressure on me to do well. Em and I are even closer because of the whole situation and we are both closer to dad now as well. Did I meantion that mum admitted to everything from putting Em down to make sure that I looked like the better child to causing rows and arguements. She tried to get me to move with her to Devon but I told her that I wanted my family around me who support me and don't try to hurt me. Needeless to say she wasn’t happy with that response but I don't care, you hurt Em or my dad and you hurt me. As far as I am concerned they are my family, harsh maybe, but that’s the way things are. It’s for the best. I am just annoyed I didn't notice all of this sooner.

The band, Emzy and I have been discussing getting a new house together for the past few days. We may have dropped a few hints on social media and we have told our families and I am glad we are going to move in together because it would be so cool. It was quite funny telling dad that we are definitely doing it, his reaction was priceless with the pretend crying and fake heartbreak but after he stopped messing around he told us that he will fully support us and if we need it he will help put towards getting a new house as long as we visit him when we have moved out, which obviously Em and I happily agreed to.

The lads, Em and I have said that we are going to write a list on what we want in a house so we can get a house best suited to us. Tristan and Em have already written their lists, James texted me earlier telling me that he is doing his list later on, as for Connor I am not sure if he has done it or if he is doing it today because he sent a very confusing text message to me earlier. I am going to do my list today, I might do it now actually.

Switching off Twitter and turning my music on I grab a pad and pen and think about what I want in a house. I am not really fussy if I am being honest because as long as the house is livable and in a good area than it doesn’t really matter to me. It just needs to be confortable and welcoming.

Brad’s list
~ Decent amount of rooms for everyone
~Maybe a garage or somewhere for us to practice
~ Back garden to chill in during summer and spring time
~ Nice neighbourhood and area

That is probably about it really. I pick my phone up and text everyone.

To: Connor, Emzy, James, Tristan

From: Brad

I’ve done my list now so we are just waiting on James. If he gets it done today we could meet up at the local café and talk through everything

I send the message and I get a message nearly straight away.

To: Brad, Connor, Emzy, Tristan

From: James

I’ve just finished my list with help from Sophie so just waiting on Bradley now :P Shall we do the café meeting today then?

Freaky or what? We both wrote our lists and sent the text messages pretty much at the same time. Weird or what. Well great minds think alike right?

To: Brad, Emzy, James, Tristan

From: Connor

Okay that was just weird guys but let's meet at the café at say 2?
