Not Letting Go - A Bradley Simpson Fan Fic

Perfect.

"Hey!!" Brad exclaimed as we entered the house, and I smiled at him before taking my shoes off. Are you really going to keep this from him? I thought to myself. Tris is his best friend. He'd never forgive you. "The boys are in the living room," I watched Tristan walk in without saying a word to Brad, resulting in a very confused look being painted upon his complexion. "Tris?" He asked as Tristan just walked into the living room without saying a word. Suddenly a hand was wrapped firmly around my forearm and I found myself being pulled into the kitchen.

"Babe?"

"Mmmm?" I hummed, hoping with everything I had that he wasn't going to ask me what I had predicted he would.

"What's going on with Tris?" Fucking hellllllll... I thought to myself.

"Brad I-I can't tell you." I stuttered in reply.

"What? Lauren really?" He queried, his eyes filled with hurt.

"It's-it's not my secret to share Brad." I pleaded, my stomach flipping as guilt filled every inch of my body.

"Perfect." He retorted, sarcasm laced within his voice, before he turned and he made his way towards the door.

"No. No Brad please." I said, grabbing his arm. "Don't make me choose between you and Tris. Don't do that to me."

"I'm sorry if I'm concerned about my best friend Lauren. I apologise if that's an inconvenience to you."

"No it's not that! Brad don't say shit like that. You know I care about you and the boys, I'm just trying to stop people getting hurt."

"By hurting me?" He questioned.

"No!! Bradley-"

"Forget it Lauren. I'll get over the fact that my best friend and my girlfriend are keeping secrets from me right in front of my eyes. I mean for all I know you could have gone and kissed him or something-"

"Brad!" I exclaimed, my eyes brimming with tears.

"What? How do I know that's not true, hmm?"

"You honestly think I'd do that to you? You think I'm that low that I'd hurt you that way? Brad I love you. Don't you trust me now?"

"Of course I trust you babe, but I just hate the fact that you're not going to help me right now."

"Brad I don't know what to do...I mean of course I want to tell you. You're my boyfriend and I love you but-"

"But it's Tris. He's as good as family, we all are." Brad finished for me and I nodded meekly.  "Lauren he's good as family for me too okay? I can't just live with him not wanting to speak to me."

"I know. Brad it's just- what am I supposed to do right now? What if it was you? What if you'd asked me not to tell the boys about something that happened to you and I went and told them anyway? You'd be annoyed at me right?"

"I don't know. I thought we were meant to be brothers."

"You are Brad. He just needs to find the words to say. Like I did." I said, earning a reassuring nod from Brad. I smiled at him slightly, before he quickly wrapped his arms around me, his hands resting on my lower back. "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too baby. I shouldn't put so much pressure on you like that. I understand." He replied, kissing my cheek. "You're heart's beating so fast."

"I know." I replied with a slight laugh. "It scares me-"

"Arguing?" He questioned as I nodded. "Princess I'm not going to leave you. I won't. You know as well as I do I can't live without you. I love you." Brad reminded me.

I breathed a large sigh of relief before saying "I love you too." A smile plastered upon my lips.

"Shall we go see the guys?" Brad suggested, taking my hand.

"Yeah." I replied with a smile as we walked into the living room. "Jemsss!! Connnn!" I exclaimed running over to them as James encased me in his arms, followed by Connor. "God I've missed you weirdos." I said with a smile, and Tris looked at me as if to say 'did you?'' I shook my head. I slumped on the sofa next to Brad, who slung his arm around me and pulled me closer to his chest. "So tell me everything about the tour!!"

"Well..." James began. "Manila was incredible, the fans there were so loud! But it was amazing to be playing at home again. I mean Birmingham was insane!"

"Ahhh I'm so happy for you guys. I feel like a proud mum," I said, as we all laughed. "Oooh Condora! Heard you had a cheeky solo??" I asked.

"Yeah! It was great, I sang Dia Maria and Sugar We're Going Down-"

"Oh my god I bet that was amazing!" I said as his words filled my ears.

"I loved it, and the bear was on drums for that one," Con explained, as I smiled at Brad and he returned my gesture.

"Oh babe I didn't tell you! Joe nearly missed our flight back home!"

"What???" I asked, with a slight laugh.

"His alarm didn't go off! So we're all waiting in the lobby at 5, ready to leave at 5:30,"

"Whoa whoa, as in 5 in the morning?" I questioned.

"Yep!" James replied.

"So you mean to tell me the sloth got up at like 4?" I asked with a laugh, referring to Connor.

"Ah Ah Ah, I was the first one downstairs!" He said proudly.

"Wow Con, I'm proud of you!" I replied.

"So yeah, we're all waiting in the lobby and it gets to 5:20 and Joe still isn't downstairs so we've gone running up to his room because he wouldn't answer his phone and we're banging on the door for like 5 minuets, before he finally opens up, still in his pyjamas and we just shout 'JOE IT'S TWENTY PAST FIVE!' And he's just like 'SHIT!' And starts running around his bedroom like a mad man getting changed!" Brad explained as I laughed hysterically for a few moments.

"I swear if you had missed that flight...wowwwww," I concluded as we all smiled. "Who wants a drink? I don't care we're all drinking because let's face it none of you are going home tonight so I'm guessing four beers and I'm on a vodka and Coke as normal?" I suggested.

"You heard the girl. Let's do it!" James exclaimed as I got up and went into the kitchen and grabbed the drinks and a bottle opener.

"We're drinking from the bottles because I'm not clearing up your shit again," I said with a laugh as I returned to the group.

"Tonight, we're drinking from the bottle!" Brad sang as we all laughed.

"Eh Tris, where's Ana? Isn't she coming tonight?" James asked.

Fuck.
