Holiday - Brad Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 4 - Falling

Izzy's P.O.V

I felt myself falling.

Deeper and deeper into the ocean.

My lungs were on the verge of giving up until something strong grabbed from underneath me and pulled me towards light. Towards hope. My lungs gasped for air and everything seemed blurry until I was laying back on the shore with a pair of deep brown eyes staring worryingly down at me, looking at every inch of my face for some kind of sign that I would be ok. It was Bradley. He saved me.

'Bradley..' I tried to say but nothing really came out, my lungs were still trying to adjust.

A few hours later I was on my bed in the guest room and I felt much better than before but still a bit sickly. I looked around to see my mum sat at the end on my bed reading a book until she noticed I was awake and rushed to my side.

'Oh sweetie, how are you feeling?'

'I'm alright I guess...what even happened?'

'The current took you out to the rocky shore and you hit one, knocking yourself out. If Bradley hadn't followed you and noticed, you probably wouldn't be here now.'

'Oh.'

So he actually saved my life. It wasn't just a dream. I feel so stupid for thinking I was a strong enough surfer to go out that far and now because of that I almost died! I must look like such an idiot.

The next day we decided just to chill and we all watched a movie. Bradley seemed a bit distant and he didn't seem to want to talk to me or even look at me. I just ignored it because I wanted to focus myself on getting better. At about lunchtime our mums wanted to go shopping but I didn't feel up to it so it was just me and Bradley alone in the house for a couple of hours. But as soon as they left Bradley went straight to his room.

I opened the door to his bedroom and sat next to him on his bed.

'Are you okay? You seem a bit distant?'

'Err yeah I'm fine...'

'No you're not tell me whats up.'

'I guess I just can't help feeling this is all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you to go out past your comfort zone. I just don't want to hurt you.'

How could this be his fault? We all decided to go out further. I was so upset that he thought that, I didn't want him to feel bad or that he caused me to nearly die!

'Bradley...'

Before I could even speak or argue with him I felt his lips crash against mine. Moving together in sync, the butterflies in my belly were going crazy, until he pulled away and whispered,

'Its Brad.'

And thats it. That was when I fell for Brad.
