Young Hearts 5 : Adult Years (Brad Simpson / The Vamps Fanfic)

(6) "Decisions, Decisions"

Norrie's P.O.V

I held Brad's cold left hand as we entered Mr. Dunham's room. I looked at his face and saw how petrified he is, they'll be meeting each other for the first time. "He's kind, he'll understand me don't worry" I whispered and gripped his hand tighter.

"Then why are you the one shaking?" he asked and so I forced myself to stop. Mr. Dunham looked at both of us with nothing but pure questions in his eyes. "Sir, I-" I said but before I could even finish, he already said something.

"Your father had already talked to me" he uttered and then my heart just dropped. Oh no he didn't.

"Sir, I can explain" I tried to reason out but he signaled his hands, meaning he's gonna talk and I should just basically shut up. I felt Brad's hand grip mine tighter. I looked at him and it's obvious he's bracing for the worst.

"Norrie, let me ask you a question alright? But before that, can your boyfriend Brad wait outside?"

"Okay sir, um This is Brad Simpson anyway. Brad, here's my Boss Mr. Dunham" I said.

All Brad ever did was look at him and then he walked out of the room, I think he's too nervous to say anything.

"Norrie, is this what you want?" he asked as soon as we were left alone.

"Yes" I replied.

"You know it's funny because your mouth says you are and yet your eyes tell the different"

"What?" I asked.

"You're young, he's young. We all make mistakes"

"But Sir I don't think the baby is a mistake"

"I never said it is Norrie. What I'm talking about is the timing. You told me your story remember? You're finally living your dream and now this happened" Deep down I know he's right. I waited for this chance for so long and now just a few months into it I already got myself knocked up.

"Maybe this is what I'm supposed to have"

"But is what you had hoped for a year ago?"

"No" I answered and then looked down on the floor.

"Look, there's nothing we could do about it. Things happen for a reason and I believe there's a good reason why all of this is happening. All I'm gonna ask you right now is are you going to stay or not?"

"I'm sorry" That's all I said before actually tearing up.

"Oh honey. Don't cry, I'm not mad" he replied, as he hugged me tightly. "I'm sorry, I never meant to do this as a sign of disrespect" I can barely speak and he just held me close.

"Fine. I'm going to relieve you from your contract. I wish you all the good luck Norrie, and Congrats to you and Brad. Such a young lovely couple"
