Being Brad's Sister

74. It's perfect

Emma's pov

I have basically spent the past, what feels like five minutes, jumping up and down going crazy. James on the other hand is having a slightly different reaction. His arm dropped from my side along with his jaw. His eyes are wide and he hasn't said or done anything except for look at the group of people in front of us like they are crazy people with three heads and a billion eyes. To be honest I am starting to wonder if he is actually okay. Standing still I look at the frozen James before letting my eyes wonder to my brother.

"Are you being serious? This isn't some evil joke?"

"Oh we are highly serious Emzy." He says seriously yet with a massive smile plastered over his face. There is a tiny glint of relief in his eyes, as though someone would ever doubt this present. I can't believe it! Never in a million years would I ever expect them to do this for us.

"James are you alright mate." Connor laughs shakily obviously noticing how he hasn't done or said anything since the present was handed to us.

"I. You. How?" He says completely shocked. He looks at the object in his hands before returning his gaze to our family and friends.

"We all pitched in. Everyone pitched in as much as they could but we did use some money from the album and concert sales to help us make the difference."

"I can't believe you did this for us. Why did you do this for us?"

"James we did it because a, you deserve it, b, you were looking into getting one anyway and c, it will help when the baby comes." His mum answers.

"Thank you guys so much." I start hugging everyone and James joins in yelling 'group hug'. James and I are squashed in the middles as everyone squashes us in a massive hug.

"Okay can't breathe." We say as we are squashed, they begin to peel off us.

"Well go and have a look then. We'll be in the living room." James and I head towards the building that stands in front of us with everyone following. The front garden is lovely. Fresh green gas which looks like it has been cut recently, a pathways leading from the public footpath to the porch is made out of various sized grey stones. There are flowers lining the edge of the house. Simple but effective. It's gorgeous. We walk down the pathway towards the brown-red bricked building.

James unlocked the white front door then slips the keys into his pocket. There is a hallway which leads through to four rooms, the door are all closed so we can't see what the rooms are yet. The walls are decorated with a cream wallpaper, there is a picture hanging on the left wall of James and my family standing together. I remember this was taken a few years ago when we went on holiday together for a week.

I go through the first door leading into a spacious lounge. White wallpapers with black and grey very thin lines covers three walls and a white wall paper with red poppies cover the fourth 'main' wall. There are two black leather sofas, a two seater pushed against one wall and a three seater pushed against another. A dark oak cabinet is next to the black two seater sofa with a few books and ornaments. There's a flat screen TV sitting in the corner of the room at a diagonal so it would be clear to see from all seats. There's a round dark oak coffee table in the middle of the room. The fire place is modern and stylish and there are some more pictures dotted around the room as well as other ornaments.

After a general look around we move through to the other rooms while everyone else goes into the living room to relax.

The dining room is spacious and bright; the kitchen is bright, modern and quite large and the fourth door in the hallway is a coat cupboard. There is a conservatory at the back of the house and a downstairs toilets just before the conservatory starts. The back yard is large with a patio-ed area which has table and chairs on. A small wall made out of brown-red bricks with three small steps lead down to freshly cut grass which takes up around three-quarters of the garden. Flowers and plants line the edge of the garden. It is beautiful.
