Late Night Drives - BWS (completed)

13

Leaving the hotel at six in the morning was not fun, my early night was ruined by Brad. So in the end I only managed about three hours sleep.

It's now seven thirty and the boys interview is about to start and me, Joe and Dean will be stood watching behind the cameras. I don't understand why I had to come, I need sleep and food, and I feel like I'm going to pass out.

I zone out for the majority of the interview due to exhaustion. However one question grabs my attention.

"So boys, a popular question; are any of you boys single? Because from what we understand, Brad, you seem to be close with Jess, one of your photographers. So is Jrad an item?" The interviewer asks.

Suddenly all eyes are on Bradley and he looks up from his hands as he gives me a quizzical look before replying with a chuckle, "Jess and I are just really good friends, she's a great girl and she means a lot to us. We're all single!"

"So Jrad won't happen then?" The interviewer asks again, God, why are they so nosey?

"No." Bradley replies as he stares at the floor. I don't know why, but those words stung, I should have known all along that I'd be just another one of his flings. Wait. Why am I even thinking this, I can't have feelings for him, surely? He's just my best friend.

After the interview I try my best to avoid Brad and in the van on the way back to the hotel I decide to sit next to Tristan, I haven't spoken to him in a while.

"So, how come you didn't tell them about you and Abbie?" I ask politely.

"With the fanbase still expanding, it isn't a good idea at the moment. And besides, management won't let me" Tristan replies with a sigh.

"Never mind management, you should be able to say what you want!"

"I know, but I guess it's best for Abbie, they're trying to protect her." He shrugs and I nod in agreement and understanding.

"Right guys, we're making a quick stop at KFC, what do you all want?" Joe announces from the front.

The boys begin shouting their orders before Joe cuts in, "Jess, what do you want?" He asks as the boys finally shut up.

"I don't feel to great so I'll pass, but thanks for the offer. I'd just like some air" I reply before stepping out of the van.

I really do not feel good. I wish I'd gotten more sleep last night and I really wish I'd made time for breakfast this morning. All this thinking has given me a headache and all of a sudden I start to feel very dizzy and unaware of my surroundings.

"Jess are you okay?" James asks, I can just about make out his voice over the pounding of my heart. Even with my blurred vision I can manage to see him running towards me.

Just as he gets to me, I black out.

I open my eyes to find myself in James' embrace, his eyes filled with worry and concern as the other boys stand in front of me.

"Jess, you just fainted, are you okay?" James asks worriedly.

"Yeah I'm just tired and haven't eaten enough." I reply as I glare at Bradley discreetly.

"Right, let's get you back to the hotel, Connor, can you run and let Joe and Dean know and can you tell them to be quick please?" James asks Connor and within seconds, he's running towards KFC.

As James carries me back towards the van, Bradley and Tristan follow closely behind.

"Why didn't you get much sleep last night?" James asks, I notice Bradley look at me worriedly.
