Risk It All (COMPLETED)

Part 85: birthday plans

A couple of weeks went by and it is now only 4 weeks until Brad's birthday! I need to start planning his party with everyone but I need to get Brad out of the house for a while, I am currently in my room counting up the money that I got for Brad's birthday. I have exactly £100 to spend on a party for Brad, he then walked into my room and sat on my bed in front of me. "Hey." I said and he smiled. "Are you ok?" I asked. "Yeah." He said. "Are you sure?" I asked. "I'm fine thanks." He said and then leaned forwards to give me a kiss. "Brad, can you do something for me?" I asked. "Sure, what do you need?" Brad asked. "Can you take Jesse on a walk?" I asked. "Don't you wanna do it?" He asked. "I do but I'm not feeling 100% today." I said. "You do look a bit pale actually, are you ok?" He asked. "I will be fine if I rest, would you mind walking Jesse for me? If not then I will do it." I said. "I will walk her, you just get lots of rest and I will buy you some chocolate or something?" Brad asked. "You don't have to do that." I said as Brad tucked me up into bed. "I want to." He said, he gave me a kiss and then walked downstairs to get Jesse. He walked out of the door and I ran down the stairs. "Guys! He has gone!" I shouted and everyone ran into the living room.

"Who wants to go and get the party food?" I asked. "I will!" Sophie said and I nodded. "Who wants to sort out the music?" I asked. "We will!" Connor and James said. "Cool! And Rebekah, Amy and Tris, did you guys want to sort out the entertainment?" I asked and they all nodded. "Cool, I will sort out the decorations." I said, I gave them each £20 each to buy the stuff with and that leaves me over £40 to buy decorations and Brad's present with. "We have 4 weeks to sort all of this out without Brad knowing, I will try and get him out of the house as much as I can by going on days out with him while you guys set it all up and hide everything." I said and everyone nodded.

Connor and James started on the music and everyone else went out to buy the stuff for the party, Brad came back about 15 minutes later and I had to run up to bed so he didn't know that I moved. He walked up the stairs to my room and took his jacket off. "Hey baby, how you feeling?" He asked and passed me a bar of chocolate. "A lot better thanks, I don't know what was wrong with me." I said and he smiled. "That's good to hear." He said and kissed me delicately on the lips. "What shall we do today?" Brad asked. "I don't mind but can I suggest something?" I asked. "Yeah sure!" He said and got into bed next to me so we were both sitting up. "Can I maybe have a day out with the girls soon and you could maybe go out with the boys for a day?" I asked. "Yeah, if that's what you want." He said. "If you don't want to then I understand." I said and he smiled at me. "I would like to spend a day with the boys." Brad said and I smiled, this gives me a chance to go and buy the decorations.

Everyone then went and sat in the living room and Jesse came and sat on my lap, I smiled and stroked her head softly. "So, Brad. What do you want for your birthday?" James asked. "Nothing, I don't need anything." He said and I looked at him. "So you don't want anything?" Rebekah asked. "I don't need anything." He said. "So if we all got you presents you wouldn't want them?" Connor asked. "Of course I would want them but I just don't need anything." Brad said. "So I just saved up all of that money just to get you a birthday present and you don't want anything?" I asked, I actually felt a bit hurt that I have worked so hard for this and then he just goes and says that he doesn't want anything. "No, baby of course I would like a present from you but I don't know what I want." Brad said. "Ok." I said, I don't want to get into an argument about this.

I pretty much sat in silence for the rest of the conversation between everyone because I didn't know what to say and now I am worried that Brad won't like his present or the party, what if I am doing all of this for him and he won't even like it? Brad did keep on smiling at me every so often but I didn't smile back, I'm scared that he won't like it and I would of worked so hard for nothing.

I spent the rest of the day just sitting up in my room with the girls, we are all sitting on our beds and everyone realised that I was being really quiet and not participating in the conversation. "Chloe, are you ok?" Sophie asked. "Yeah." I lied and gave them all a fake smile. "Ok..." She said and then got herself in a more comfortable position so she didn't squash her bump. "So, are you excited for Brad's party?" Rebekah asked me. "I guess..." I said and all the girls looked confused. "You were buzzing about it this morning." Amy said. "I know." I said. "Are you sure that you are ok?" Sophie asked. "I'm fine!" I said again, I can't be bothered to explain to them all why I am upset. They probably would just think that I'm being silly but I have a feeling that Brad won't like it, he might not like my present for him and then I would of failed. He did such a good job with my birthday and his is going to be nowhere near as good as what mine was.
