today reece goes on tour & today is the day i see bradley again after almost a year.
i was dropping reece off at the airport.
"i can come to a show in new york and LA" i kept driving
"that would be awesome, i wish you could've came with us" he held my hand
"i wish i could to but maybe next tour for sure i'll be there, we'll be married by then right" i smiled
"hopefully, when i come back we will start planning okay? don't think i forgot we're going to get married" he kissed my hand
"obviously not, but yes we can start looking for everything when you get back" i pulled into the airport
i walked with him to check in and all the way to before TSA
"ok well i have to go to the studio, call me when you're about to take off and land okay?" i said as he wrapped his arms around my waist
"i will. don't worry too much about me okay! have fun with the album and everything i will cheering you on from wherever i am okay i love you bells" he kissed me
"i love you too, i'll see you soon okay" i kissed him again
he walked through tsa and i walked back to my car and drove to the studio
bradley got there at the same time as me.
i walked into the studio.
"hey"
"hi" i gave him a tiny wave
we walked into the recording booth & i put my headphones on so i didn't have to hear him. my paper was shaking, bradley looked at my hands shaking a little.
"i, i just woke up from a dream, where you and i had to say goodbye"
i felt my eyes burning and the studio guy noticed i wasn't okay with this
"Cut, um let's go and take a five"
i put my headphones on my mic and walked outside to get fresh air.
i ringed millie
"hey girl what's up?"
"isabelle chose bradley as the guy to record reeces part for the song" i tried to catch my breath
"hey hey girl breath in and out bells"
"i i i thought i was strong enough to face him again but everything that happened these two years have been hell. i've been dealing with this shit since i was twenty four and im going to turn 27? i thought i was strong enough but i just don't think in ready to face him not like this" i said as i sat down
i heard the door swing open. it was bradley, he stood infront of me
"um i'll call you back millie" i wiped my tears
"are you coming to make my life a living hell again?" i wiped my tears
"no. bailey if you don't want me to work on this song i get it, i'll tell isabelle" he sat next to me
"stop trying to play nice. bradley you constantly hurt me in the past year. i can't forget that shit" i didn't look at him
"bailey. you're my best friends little sister, i know you bailey. im not playing nice. i've been nice but the way you act when i text you, you play defensive. what am i supposed to do?" he got closer to me
"you harassed me on my fiancés birthday dinner and on the day of my album release party. bradley you've never been nice to me never ever. not even when we were together that week. when you embarrassed me" i looked at him
he had a tattoo behind his ear, it said stellar with a star underneath, his nose piercing hole is closed. he smelled like cologne the cologne he left in the hotel the day he broke up with me. he looked different.
"your fiancé? reece ?" he looked at me
"yes i'm getting married" i held my hand to show him my ring "you congratulated me. don't you remember?"
"no, when was this?" he looked away
"january." i spread my legs out
"oh, i was getting crazy drunk in january, me and stella didn't end up having a huge ceremony we're getting a divorce, i was separated with her in january" he said as his knee touched my knee
"oh im sorry" i looked at him
"it's okay, i was going through it, i was getting really drunk and then when i found out you got engaged i think that like flipped a switch in me" he looked at me
"no don't. bradley don't say it" i scooted away a bit
"im still in love with you bailey. i always have been, when you got with luke, when you were public with him, i was in love with you then, at your 18 when stella was being a bitch to you i was in love with you then and then when we went on tour with niall, it happened all over again." he looked at me
"bradley no no" i got up
"bailey im not telling you this to change your mind about anything" he stood up with me
"bradley no i can't fall for that trap. im getting married in a year. you're still married. no no" i went back to the studio
he followed me into the studio.
"can we record it one time through" i put my headphones on
we sang it and my eyes were glued to my paper and mid song i looked up at bradley and he had tears in his eyes.
"so im'a love you every night like it's the last night"
we finishedthe song and he had a tear go down his cheek
"can we listen to it back" i walked out the booth
we listened to it and it sounded really good.
"good work bradley and bailey, come back tomorrow i do want to fix some things. voices blend perfect but the tone needs to be there and it isn't there, i'll see you guys tomorrow"
tomorrow?
i walked to my car.
bradley : i meant everything i said.
me : im engaged bradley. don't do this please
bradley : i want you & i realized i lost my chance with this. i have loved you and always will bells.
me : stop. tomorrow is the last day i want to see you. i never want to see you again till the music video.
