MAXLEY-idk what to title this :>

chapter 13 (bradleys pov)

(Its a kinda long chapter)

I still feel so weird after what happened yesterday. Its the second day of the weekend, so I don't have to see him at all. That's a good thing, right? I don't even know anymore. I don't really have anything to do, since tank went to a concert yesterday with Bobby and wanted to stay at his place.

Tank is really the only Gamma member that I've been friends with so far. all the other gamers don't understand me, and they think I'm just a horrible person. I'm not that way on purpose. I just have to be perfect, and I get competitive at times.

My father told me when I was younger, that a higher class should not make exceptions to be nicer to anyone lower of power. that's why he was upset when I became friends with tank. he didn't think tank was worth the time.

I had nothing better to do, so I asked if little barett-girl was free.

To: ☕mocha Chino☕

Me-hello. Is there any chance you would be free today?

☕mocha Chino☕- oh my, Bradley asking if I'm free? What an honor!

Me-oh cut the crap. Are you free or not? Don't make me regret it.

☕mocha Chino☕-yea yea. Don't get your ego in a knot. I'm free.

Me-okay. Thank you. Would you like to go to the club with me? Not in a weird way. Just to talk.

☕mocha Chino☕-sure money man. I'll be there in a half of your time.

Me- what?

☕mocha Chino☕-30 mins. I'll be there in 30 mins.

Me- oh alright. See you there.

She is really weird. Why does she have to make everything sound strange? Whatever. I threw on some random sweater and fixed my hair. I couldn't let  myself be seen with my hair a mess. I wasn't going to put on a nice outfit and try for her because she was not worth my time.

By the time I got there, it was already crowded. She wasn't here yet, so I went and sat at a table to wait for her. I asked the waiter for a Martini and waited for her to show up.

"Wow. Couldn't even wait a minute? Your almost as impatient as a hungry infant. What happened to you to make you this bummed? " mocha Chino asked a she walked over to the table. I sighed and took a sip of my drink.

"It's stupid. It's not like you would care, anyway. You have a happy relationship with your idiot boyfriend. I'm just stuck. " she sat next to me and looked over.

"Your sat in a spot with no way out, huh? "

"It's not just that... Ma- I mean- someone has been in by thoughts lately and...I don't know how to feel. " she laughed a little at my correction before replying.

"Well what have been your interactions with this, someone? Have they got your heart in a twirl? " I immediately felt my face flush and choked on my Martini.

" no- maybe- UGH. I don't know. They have been so kind lately. We hung out the past couple of days. H- they are supposed to be my rival. Not only that, but it is wrong to like them. " she looked a bit confused at what I said but then realized something.

"Bradley, love can be a challenging thing. People may hate each other for the wrong reasons. You aren't rivals if you care for each other. And it is not wrong to have your heart pull you in any direction. "  I sat and thought for a moment. We're we actually rivals? I mean, even after I almost killed him and tank, he still shook my hand. He even called off the bet so I didn't have to be his towel boy. So did he ever hate me like I thought he did?

"I don't know anymore... He is supposed to hate me." She cocked a brow at me and smiled.

"So this mystery person is a he, huh? " I didn't even realize I said that. Oh god. She is just gonna make fun if me now, isn't she. I groaned and put my head in my hands.

"Take a chill pill, Bradley. I don't care who you are attracted to. I'm an ally." She put her hand on my shoulder as she asked a waitor for a couple shots.

"... Don't tell anyone, please. If my dad finds out... " she looked a bit concerned, but just sighed.

"I won't try and heal the wound at your past if you don't want me to. But I promise, I won't tell anyone. It's not my word to speak. " I looked up and nodded at her. She got her order of alcohol and offered me a shot.

"Thank you. I, "

I took the shot.

"Ugh... I don't even know why he tries with me. I'm not a very easy person to talk to. " she scoffed and took her shot.

"Tsh. I know that right. " I hit her arm as she laughed a little and spoke.

"All jokes aside, does he care as much as you say he does? You wouldn't wanna get caught up with the wrong person. "

"I mean, he cares enough to where he kissed me! No hesitation, no warning, he just attacked me with his lips! Good lips. Very good lips. " I drank the rest of my Martini and grabbed a shot.

"It doesn't seem like you hated it, though. Maybe accept him in so he can teach you how to accept yourself. "  she tilted her head and looked at me.

"Accept myself? How am I supposed to do that when my own father can't even accept meee? And what if I do accept him? What if we break up and he tells all his friends? Noooooo. What if my father found out? What would he think if his only child was even more of a disgraceee? " she stopped me before I grabbed my 6th shot.

"Woah woah woah there buddy. Slow your roll. It doesn't seem like your father is a good apple in the batch. Maybe you need to consider therapy. And I'm sure that if you told max, he would not do any of those things."  I sighed and put my head back.

"Therapy won't helppp. And- wait a second- how did you know who it was?! Did he say something about it? I need to knowwww. " I was shaking her and she was laughing.

"Oh please. I think I was able to guess from your waves of emotions. Who else were you rivals with, anyway?"

"I don't knowww. The devil? Seems like it. " she giggled a little and grabbed my shoulder. My head felt a bit weird. I didn't drink that much, did I?

"Bradley, I think it's about time we call it a night. This rodeo house has had enough of you, anyway. Come on, I'll drive you home. I only had one shot. "
She dragged me to her car and we drove over to the gamma house.

"Now get out before your negativity seeps into my car. " she dropped me off and rolled down the window.

"Thanks for keeping me company. Even if it was from a low life like you. Tsh. " I mumbled that last sentence. I just wanted to sleep.

"Whatever Bradley. Make sure you drink lots of water tomorrow. See ya around. " she drove off as I headed inside. All the other gammas were as sleep already, so I just went to my room. I plopped on my bed and groaned. My life is too muchhh.
