Being Brad's Sister

46. I will get him

Brad's pov

It isn't easy seeing Emma hurt and knowing that James is the reason behind it makes me wonder if he can be trusted with my sister's heart. I am really protective over Emma, although I have calmed down slightly, I still worry about her. It is all part of being a big brother, to worry about your younger siblings.

There is a knock on the front door but I leave it knowing that Dad and maybe Emma are downstairs so they can get the door. It saves me running downstairs anyway, besides I'm not expecting anyone. As I expected someone gets the door as I hear the front door open and close shortly after followed by footsteps running up the stairs. There is a knock on my bedroom door and second later Tristan and Connor burst into my room. I look at them with a surprised expression, because I wasn't expecting them to come over, as I shuffle so they can sit on my bed as well.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Well we wanted to hang out and we also wanted to see how Emzybear is holding up after yesterday." Connor says the last part of his statement a bit slower as if he isn't sure if he can say it or not. Well that is more than James. I've messaged him this morning and he hasn't messages me back, he is completely ignoring my texts. In fact I haven't spoken to him since we dropped him off home last night and even then it was minimal.

"Awesome. Emma is doing alright, last night she basically locked herself in her room last night and she was feeling really low but this morning she has been walking around like nothing has happened so I don't know whether she had spoken to James or she is covering up or something."

"I don't understand, James I mean. He was all lovey dovey with Emma until Kristie came and then it was like he completely forgot Emma existed."

"I know and for him to sit right next to her while he flirted with Kristie just made it worse."

"I didn't think James had a bad bone in his body but I guess I was wrong." I laugh not knowing how to act.

"Anyway moving off the topic of James, we thought that you, Emma, Connor and I could spend the day together to show Emma that there are people who love her and haven't forgotten her."

"That isn't a bad idea." I say thinking about how our could help to boost my sister's confidence a bit. We chamber off my bed and go to the bedroom next door to mine which is Emma's room. We knock on the door but instead of barging in we wait because she might be busy. The door opens and the two boys behind me push past me tackling my sister to the floor as they give her a massive bear hug.  She bursts out laughing as she hugs them back before freeing herself and taking a seat on her bed. Tristan takes a seat on her desk chair and Connor sits on her beanbag so I relax on the foot of her bed.

"What's up guys." She laughs as she gets comfortable.

"We were wondering if you would like to spend the day with three crazy guys and show the world how to have fun."

"By 'the world' do you by any chance mean a certain lad from Bournemouth who goes by the name of James?" We go silent which she takes as a yes. "Look I know what James did yesterday was kind of wrong I suppose and yes it hurt when he ignored me and started flirting with Kristie but maybe we got the wrong end of the stick. I was thinking about it all afternoon and I don't think it was his fault. Just because he is in a relationship doesn't mean that he can't talk to other girls. Maybe he was just getting to know her like Joe said so I'm not getting angry or upset."

"Em I."

"Brad shush. Can any of you honestly say that you didn't have a laugh with the people you were with yesterday? I heard you all laugh at least once when I was there." She has a point, I can't think of an argument against what she said. Maybe we were judging hand and he was simply laughing and getting to know Kristie.
