"Jess, the band are here for their photo shoot now!" My assistant, Alice calls from outside my office.

Since the accident, I moved to London. What happened that night will forever haunt me. That evening I lost the baby.

I kept an eye on the news and Twitter, and Bradley recovered just fine. Him and the boys are doing exceptionally well with their band; although, I try not to think about that.

My parents were good to me when I lost the baby, they helped me get through it all. I stayed in Devon for the first few months, until I found a job as a photographer in London, I knew it was my chance to make it big. So I moved.

One of the first few bands I got to work with was The 1975, may I add that they were fun to photograph. Since then, Matty, the lead singer took my number, and we've been on a few dates, but we're still only just friends.

As I finish sorting out the camera I'm going to be using, I lock up my office before walking down the corridor to the room of the photoshoot.

As I walk in I'm faced with people I wasn't ready to see. The boys were too busy messing around in the background to notice, but Joe was soon to notice as he pulled back his hand that he was ready to introduce himself with.

"Jess?" He questions. At the sound of my name, Bradley's head snaps up and we make eye contact for a few seconds before I break it again.

"I, I, uh. Hi" I stutter with a slight smile.

"I just need to get some air, give me a few minutes" I continue as I clear my throat, walking back out the door and finding a space down the corridor.

As I walked out the door, I couldn't help but notice Connor and James pushing Bradley towards the door.

Putting the image to the back of my mind I lean against the wall and take a few deep breaths. How didn't I know?

I decide to call Matty, his voice is all I need to hear right now.

"Hello love" Mattys voice fills the phone speaker after three rings.

"Just speak to me, please, I think I'm having a panic attack"

"If it makes you feel better we've just been recording, it's a song I wrote about you" Mattys voice is instantly enough to calm me down.

"That's sweet, you didn't have to do that" I smile slightly as my breathing begins to go back to normal.

"I chose to, I can't wait for you to hear it!"

"I can't wait to hear it!"

"How about a date night tonight, my house, flowers and red wine?" Matty suggests

"Date night sounds good to me!" As I reply, I notice Bradley's figure stood watching me.

"What time, love?" Matty asks.

"Matty, I don't think I can do tonight, I've just remembered about the photoshoot I have"

"Do you want me to come and see you at work, I can bring the flowers and wine to work" Matty chuckles lightly in his response.

Feeling bad, I respond, "that sounds lovely. Well I best be going. See you at six?"

"Six it is, see you later" Matty replies and I hang up.

"Can we talk?" Bradley asks as I put my phone in my pocket. In response I sit against the wall and pat the carpet next to me, Bradley doesn't hesitate to join me.

"Why'd you call an ambulance and leave me?"

"I thought it was best for you and your career" I sigh as I fiddle with the bracelet Matty gave me on my wrist.
