Risk It All (COMPLETED)

Part 37: the argument

I pulled the suitcase out from under the bed and started to neatly fold my clothes and place them in the suitcase, I looked over to Brad and he was just dumping his clothes in his suitcase. He obviously doesn't care because he knows that when he gets back to the apartment there will be no parents bossing him around and telling him to do his washing, that reminds me! I need to work out how our washing machine works, we haven't actually used it yet. I have been going down to the dry cleaners but I'm not sure if the boys have even washed their clothes yet. Yuck...

I giggled at Brad and he smiled at me. "What?" Brad asked. "The way that you pack your suitcase." I said and he smiled. "Do you want some help?" I asked. "Nah, I'm good thanks baby." Brad said and a massive smile spread across my face, I love it when he calls me baby. I stood up and walked over to him. "What's up?" He asked. "Can I have a hug?" I asked and Brad nodded, he stood up and put his arms around me. I squeezed him tight and he sort of snuggled in to me, I kissed his mop of curly hair and he giggled. "I love you." I whispered and he smiled. "I love you too." Brad said, he pulled away a bit and then looked at my necklace. "I need to get you something." I said. "No you don't, you are all I need." Brad said and I smiled. "I really like our 'us' time." I said and Brad smiled. "I like it too." Brad said and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "We should do it more often." I said. "We should, but I have a feeling that after America I will be a lot busier..." Brad said. "But you will still find time for me... Right?" I asked. "Of course I will baby but it might not be a lot of time." Brad said, a disappointed look spread across my face and I walked away from him and carried on packing my suitcase, I am not looking forward to after America.

Eventually it was time to start heading back home, we said goodbye to Brads dad and then I walked over to Jesse. "I'm gonna miss you Jesse." I said and gave her a massive hug, a few tears started to run down my cheeks and I didn't want to let her go. I have only had her for a couple of days and I already have a strong bond with her, I would say that we are inseparable but we are now being separated. "Chloe, it's time to go now." Brad said. "But... But...I..." I started but Brad took my hand and pulled me away. "Come on, you will see her in 10 weeks." Brad said, I burst into tears as I got forced to walk away from Jesse. I could hear her barking but nobody was listening to her, why is Brad dragging me away from her like this?

We got in the car and I didn't talk the whole way to the train station, occasionally a couple of tears ran down my cheeks but I hid them by looking out of the window and nobody could hear me because the radio was on. I was pretty sure that I had red rings around my eyes because I had been secretly crying so much, I don't know why Brad acted like that.

We got to the train station and took our suitcases out of the car. Brad said goodbye to his mum and it took quite a while because she wouldn't stop talking to him, eventually she quickly said goodbye to me and then we walked towards the platform. I didn't talk for the whole train journey and neither did Brad. We got back to the apartments and Brad walked into his and closed the door on me so I was locked out, I'm so confused and hurt by his actions.

I walked into my own apartment and sat on the sofa, the tears started falling once again and Rebekah and Sophie came down the stairs to see me crying. "Chloe?!" Sophie said. "What's wrong?" Rebekah asked and they both sat either side of me on the sofa. "B... Br... Brad..." I said through sobs. "What did he do?" Sophie asked. "I don't know what's wrong with him... He dragged me away from Jesse... When I was saying goodbye to her... And then he just shut his apartment door on my face..." I said between more sobs and the girls looked confused. "Did anything happen while you were staying there?" Rebekah asked. "We had a conversation... About the fact that Brad might be more busy... When he gets back from America... I asked him if he would still be able to spend time with me... And he said not as much... I got a bit upset... And ever since that he has been acting really weird..." I said between sobs.
