That Girl - The Vamps/Bradley Will Simpson FanFiction

Chapter 27

Brads P.O.V

"Another please." I speak as I slam my shot glass down on the bar and the barman continues to pour me more vodka.

It's been a week since me and Jess started our break and if I'm honest, I'm starting to have doubts. What if this is the end?

I put my thoughts to rest as I down the vodka. I really couldn't care about anything else at the moment. All I can seem to think about it Jess and how I screwed it up big time.

Band practise has been awkward, James apologises to me every time and the boys try to tell me that sooner or later she'll come round.

I wonder if she's still wearing her engagement ring?

Okay, this alcohol clearly isn't helping. I walk out of the local bar and back home.

As I walk into the living room my mum looks up from her current space on the sofa, where she has put two cups of tea on the table.

"Oh Bradley" She looks sadly at me before standing up and engulfing me into a hug.

"I-I need her" I start sobbing into my mums shoulder as she gently pats my back trying to calm me down.

"What happened is a lot for her to take in Bradley, she needs time." My mum sighs.

"Have you spoken to her?"

"Ye-No" She replies hesitantly.

"You have haven't you?" I ask.

"Okay, yes, she rang me this morning. She wanted to know how you're coping. She's going to come round tomorrow and hopefully you two can sort things out. She didn't sound well at all."

"What am I supposed to say to her?" I ask.

"Tell her how you really feel, that's all you can do. Now come on, have a cup of tea." My mum speaks as she gestures towards the two cups of tea on the table.

"Thanks mum" I smile lightly as I take a seat on the sofa and take a sip of tea.

Jess' P.O.V

A week later and I'm still sat at home. I haven't left the house. Connor has visited me and bought me a Starbucks, which I thought was thoughtful and adorable of him to do so.

Apart from that I've had no contact with anyone really, my parents are away so they're clueless to the situation. However, I rang Anne yesterday to see how Brad was coping. Deep down I feel awful, I ran away from the situation instead of dealing with it and I know that sometime soon I'm going to have to face it. So I decided I'd go round to Brads tomorrow.

I'm scared that if I go back he won't want me back.

As I hold my cup of tea I fiddle with my engagement ring, I haven't taken it off since the proposal.

My deep thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door.

I proceed to put my tea onto the table before I wrap my dressing gown around me tightly.

I open the door to be faced with James.

"Can we talk?" He asks as he stands nervously on the doorstep.

I sigh before letting him in and we both sit on different sofas.

"Is the band okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, although things aren't exactly great, me and Brad are holding it together for the bands sake."

"I just don't understand why though James, why kiss me when you know the deal with me and Brad?"

"I don't know, but one thing I do know is I like you Jess" James speaks as he stands up and sits next to me on the sofa I'm sat.

"James, you've got Becky"

"But Becky isn't you" he sighs as he places a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Yes I know Becky isn't me, Becky is the one you need, likewise Brad is the one I need." I speak as I move away from James slightly.

"Jess please" James practically begs.

"No." I reply bluntly.

"Just one kiss, tell me you don't feel it too?"

"James, there's nothing to feel, my mind is made up. The kiss was a mistake." I reply.

James sighs as he pushes his hair up further, biting his lip.

"It was a mistake" James finally speaks.

"Promise me you'll try your best with Becky?"

"I promise. But Jess?"

"Yes?"

"Can you not tell her about the kiss?"

"James she's my friend, I can't do that to her!"

"Fine, you tell her then!" James replies.

"Okay, I will then." I reply nervously.

"Friends?" James asks shakily.

"Friends." I reply as James leans in for a friendly embrace.

"I'm sorry, for everything."

"I forgive you." I smile as James returns it before walking out the door.

Well that's one thing sorted. Now all that's left is to somehow tell Becky and then sort things out with Brad...I need him.
