Brads P.O.V

The tour is going great, there's not many shows left now. However, as much as I love performing, I'm started to feel exhausted. The lack of sleep, constant travelling, it's really not easy; especially without Jess here cheering me on and telling me to keep going.

I managed to Skype Jess for around half an hour before Joe dragged me to leave for soundcheck. She could see how tired I am, but I think she tried not to mention it.

Currently, it's 5am here in LA and me and James are rushing around to get ready to leave for half past.

I'm exhausted, as I'm sure the other boys are too. We're living off of four hours sleep today and I haven't even had time for breakfast.

"You ready mate?" James asks with a yawn.

"Yeah" I reply tiredly as I put my bandana in my hair and haul my backpack over my shoulder.

After meeting the others in the lobby we soon leave for our morning interview.

We arrive at the destination of the interview around an hour and a half later. This gives us around half an hour to get ready and be informed as to what's happening.

It's finally time for the interview. I can't wait for this to be over with.

"Morning boys!" The interviewer speaks. I wonder how she can be so cheerful this early in the morning.

"So, how's the tour going?"

"It's going great, we love it over here!" James replies with a smile.

"What's it like being away from your UK fans?"

"It's weird but it's all part of our job" Connor chuckles lightly.

"Do you have any messages for your UK fans?"

"We'll be back very soon!" Tristan replies excitedly.

"So, boys, when's the album out?"

"27th November" I reply.

"Is it one to be excited about?"

"Yeah, definitely. We're very proud of it and we hope the fans love it just as much as we do" James speaks.

"Bradley, we've had a few fans asking about yours and Jess' relationship. How's it going?" The interviewer asks, snapping me out of my daze.

"Yeah, it's going great. I miss her a lot, but the relationship is great. She's a lovely girl and I know she'll support me no matter what" I reply with a smile.

"Is there a Jrad wedding on the cards?"

"Not just yet, we're a bit young and immature for marriage. We'll settle for a long term engagement" I chuckle.

"So, how about you other three, Connor, Tristan and James? Any girls on the scene?"

"No, not at the moment, we don't really have the time for relationships. I don't know how Brad manages it!" Tristan replies. However, I can see right through it; he wants everyone to know about him and Abbie but he's protecting her privacy. He doesn't want anyone involved, especially the fans.

"Well, thank you for joining us boys, enjoy your last show in America!" The interviewer speaks before the cameras stop.

"Right, come on boys, it's time to go to the venue and get everything sorted!" Joe exclaims as he gestures for us to follow him.

As we leave the building, we're mobbed by a large group of fans. I soon lose the boys and the panic and tiredness starts to take over me.

"Brad, Brad!"

"I love you!"

"Please can I have a photo?"

The screaming of the fans are all I can hear and it soon goes muffled and distort. My vision goes blurry as all I can hear now is the beating of my heart and my breathing.

My legs start to wobble and soon enough my knees go weak, and everything goes black.

Jess' P.O.V

A few days have passed since I arrived at the Simpsons again, and they've made me welcome, like they always do.

Yesterday Anne showed me some more photos of Brad when he was younger, he'd hate that. But I love it.

They've even asked me to walk Jesse everyday since I've arrived, which has been fun.

Currently I'm sat on the sofa, watching Eastenders with Jesse's head rested on my lap as I stroke her soft fur.

I'm knocked back into reality as the house phone rings.

"I'll get it!" Anne shouts as she rushes to answer the phone. Everything goes silent for around about ten minutes. I'm guessing she's just speaking to someone in the family or a close friend.

Soon enough Anne emerges in the doorway to the living room. I smile at her but it soon drops as I notice Anne crying, her makeup smudged down her face.

She doesn't say a word, she just hands me the phone. That's when I hear James on the other end of the line.

"Jess?"

"James? W-what's going on?" I stutter.

"It's Brad" He croaks, making it evident he's been crying.

Jesse has now moved as Anne takes a seat next to me.

"W-what's happened?"

"He's in hospital. We got mobbed and he passed out and he still hasn't woken up" James cries down the other end.

I feel my chest tighten as I start to sob uncontrollably.

"J-Jess are you there?" James cries.

"Y-yes" I sob.

"We've had to cancel the last show, we'll try and get him home as soon as possible." I hear Joe speak in the background.

"I-I need to go" I sob.

"Stay strong for him, he loves you Jess" James replies.

"Thank you James"

As I hang up I sob even more, Anne soon joins me as she pulls me into her arms.

"Anne?"

"Yes dear?"

"I need to go"

"Wha-"

"I'm going to fly out there and be with Brad. He needs me" I reply as I wipe my tears. I'm soon upstairs collecting my belongings and throwing them back into my suitcase. Anne observes me from the doorway.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"He needs me, and I need him" I reply with a sniffle as I zip up my suitcase.
