Life In Rehab

Chapter Six - Closer

There was a quick knock at the door this morning, "Come in, it's unlocked" I don't know if the person didn't hear me or they're just trying to piss off because they knocked again, if it the nurse she would've already walked in so I got up and open up the door and who do I see standing in the middle of the doorway holding a bunch of roses with a massive grin on his face? The one and only Bradley Evans.

"Happy Valentine's Day Iris!" he sang, I just stood there with my mouth gaping open looking like a complete idiot while he walked through the door and plonked himself down on my bed. "Excuse me? How did you even get my room number? And once again excuse me?" "Oh I just know people, and it's Valentine's Day today sooooo will you be my valentine?" I was in complete shock, and that's when I lost my shit "Okay, so you just storm into my room, give me a bouquet of roses and expect me to be your valentine just like that! WELL NEWS FLASH BRAD THIS IS NOT HIGH SCHOOL ANYMORE! YOUR NOT GONNA HAVE GIRLS LINING UP OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE TO BE YOUR VALENTINE!" and that's when I started crying "You never used to even speak to m-m-me Brad and then all of a sudden you decide you want me to be valentine?! L-l-like are you just trying to use me or something just so you won't b-b-be lonely!" I sobbed, "No Iris, I just thought we could start hanging out together and become friends and so I thought you'd be cool about all this" he gathered me into a hug and I sobbed all over his t-shirt.

After a few hours of hanging out together and talking, he told me how he ended up here, he told me that his life was never picture perfect and that his parents always used to argue and how his father always used to abuse him so that's why he decided to take drugs once we finished high school so he could try and take his life so he wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

For once in my life, I've never felt closer to anyone, but at this moment I realised that Bradley Evans and I are almost like the same person.

Hey y'all, so that was chapter six! Hopefully you liked it and yes I had to add a bit of romance. Shoutout to Brooke4692 because she helped me out on this one xx.
