DMs - Bradley Will Simpson

17.

What the...?

I picked up the item off my lap - which happened to be a book. I hate books!

I turned to look the front cover and was completely taken aback by it.

It was a picture of me (my Twitter icon), and then a picture of Brad, posing in a similar style.

What a cringe little shit I thought.

The words "Coming Home" were written at the top of the page, and I did my best to blink away the water forming in my tear ducts.

Brad Simpson, did this, for me?

I slowly opened the book quickly in excitement, nearly ripping a page.

The first one has a date on the bottom - 18/11/15.

The day Brad first messaged me.

I continued looking through the pages- five had been filled in.

And the last one he'd done made me cry, without stopping.

It said 'the rest of these pages are for you. To start and complete our story, or to create your own".
