I looked in the mirror, made sure I looked presentable enough for the camera and walked over to Brady's room.
When I lifted my hand to knock on the door my hand started shaking and I felt my breathe getting uneven. I knocked on the door haphazardly and I heard Brady,
"Go away Conner I'm streaming" he shouted.
I opened the door, he rolled his eyes and turned but when he realised it was me he froze.
"Am I still taking over your stream?" I blubbered, it was hard to say anything with the pressure of his icy stare.
"Yeah of course" he said with a fake smile, I could tell from his eyes all he wanted to do was scream at me and potentially skin me alive. He had a chair beside him for me and that gave me hope that he didn't lose all faith in me.
"Aw thank you my hoodie is from in print we trust and my shorts are brandy."
While Brady was waiting for the game we were going to play to download he started talking to the chat.
He was leaning over me to read the chat and I sat there silent. I was admiring the Vivienne Westwood necklace he had on, it matched well with his black T-shirt and black shorts combo. My eyes trail up to his jawline, and then his perfect nose, his whole side profile is perfect.
I feel my eyes drawn to his lips, those same lips that were touching my the other day. I'm snapped out of my imaginative state by Brady's beautiful laugh "haha yeah, what do you think Laura?"
He turns to me and I realise how close our faces are. I get flustered and try to look in the chat for what he's laughing about. Instead, all I see is chats of people trying to expose me
User: THEY ARE SO DATING ITS OBVIOUS
User: what game r u playin?
User: bro was STARING
User: she's so real HELP
I let out an awkward laugh "so what are we playing?"
"Five nights at Freddie's" Brady says with a smile. Not a cute smile, an evil one. I told him how much I hate horror while we were watching Up and this is his sick way of getting me back.
"Ah yes, getting chase by scary robots is my favourite game genre" I said sarcastically.
"Yeah well I know how you like to run away from things that might scare you" Brady muttered while typing something on his computer, he stopped typing when he realised I heard and sat there waiting for my reply but I was caught so off guard there wasn't anything I could say.
The stream went surprisingly well. Every time my skin touches his I feel a surge of adrenaline through my body, whenever I got scared I instinctively grabbed his knee or his arm for comfort. I think his chat caught on a little but I decided to ignore what they were saying and chose to focus on Brady and the game.
After a while we chose to stop playing the game and do a Q&A type thing. Naturally most of the questions were romance based but we didn't address any of those ones, just exchanging awkward glances when we saw them and moving on.
I scanned the chat looking for an easier question and I found one "how long have you been living together? Well I have been here for like 5 days now? I think but anyways I'll be moving out tomorrow-"
Brady turned to me "wait you're leaving tomorrow?"
I nodded while trying to avoid eye contact but his sorrowful eyes were glued to me.
"chat I think we are gonna have to end the stream a bit early there is a bit of... unfinished business. Brady can you turn it off?"
He obliged and when he made sure it was off he turned back to face me "You didn't tell me you were leaving tomorrow why didn't you tell me you were leaving tomorrow."
The anger in his voice caught me off guard "well you've spent the last day locked in your room I didn't have the chance" I replied, matching his tone.
Brady scoffed at me. He stood up out of his chair and started angrily pacing around his room "don't try to make me that bad guy alright, let's not forget you left me standing in the shower of a locker room after I had... completely put myself out there, a-and you just chose to run away without even giving me and explanation" He shouted.
"Brady I- turn around and look at me."
He had his back to me, I grabbed his arm and did my best to turn him to face me.
When he turned around I saw tears welling in his eyes, I can't believe I made him cry.
"Brady-"
"Just go."
I walked closer him, putting my hand on his arm trying to be of comfort "Brady..." I reassured him.
"Laura don't." he murmured while looking at the ground and brushing my arm off.
I could still see the tears forming in his eyes but I knew he didn't want me.
When I shut the door to the guest bedroom, I leaned against the door and sank to the ground. I sat there pondering for a while before I felt a cold trickle down my cheek. I brought my hand up to my under eye and inspected the shiny water on my fingertips 'why am I crying?' I asked myself,
trying to make it seem as though I didn't already know the answer.
I was gonna make this scene less intense but when I imagined myself as Brady I realised I would go insane if someone pulled a stunt like that with me.
I've started a new book by the way! I'm trying to make it more of a slow burn which I will HATE
don't forget to vote pls it means a lot !!
Also I'm pretty sure xochtil and Brady are dating which I LOVE even tho I might go into cardiac arrest they are so cute it's hard not to be happy for them. I saw someone say he confirmed it in a live so idk but leave a comment if you find out.
