Stealing Cecilia.

Chapter 6

'What do you want?' Brad snapped. I glared at him. This is when I realised I wasn't going to take any more rubbish off of him. Brad was acting like a grumpy teenager, when they don't get their way. I was a teenager, Brad was 20. Why was he doing this? He was being really immature. I looked at him and gave him a fake smile. 'I want you. I always get what I want.' I smiled. I was going to try and play the act, I knew Brad was unable to resist. 'You trying to mock me?' He smirked. I smiled, thinking carefully about what to say next. 'Nope, I genuinely want you. I like you.' I fake smiled and was completely lying, he really hurt me. I mean, we all have bad days, so I wasn't letting it change my view of him very much, but I know I can't be with him now, no way. Although, he was still that irresistible boy who I fell in love with instantly. 'You want me?' He asked, his whole face changed and his emotions were showing. I knew he liked me. Tristan was right, he does like me but he's afraid to admit it. 'Of course I do. I've liked you for ages, but I was a fan then and when we became friends, you got with Penny and that broke me.' I smiled weakly. Hopefully this would make Brad change what he's saying. 'Cecilia, I only got with Penny because I was told that you weren't into me. I really liked you and I couldn't cope with not being with you and someone else in that place.' I sighed. 

Brad hadn't said anything else for roughly a minute. 'I didn't even love Penny, it was set up by management to make me happy. She didn't like me either.' Brad spoke, looking sorry for himself. Brad just really opened up to me. But what would happen now? He continued driving till we got to a suitable place to pull over and stop. He unbuckled his seat belt so he could turn around to see me better. I was more sat up now, though my head was still hurting and my arm was throbbing. He just looked at me calmly and then a tear dropped from his eye. I wasn't sure what to say or do from here. He just couldn't speak or move. 'Brad, you did this to me. Yes, it really hurts. But, I still love you no matter what.' I smiled, the same fake smile I did before. I wasn't sure what to do from now. 'Cecilia, we can't go back. They will kill me.' Brad quickly spoke, another tear falling from his eyes. I nodded. 'It's okay, I'll call Liz or Chloe, they'll know what to do. I trust them completely.' I said with a smile. Brad looked at me with relief, but those same eyes that I fell in love with were so deep and beautiful, I couldn't help but gain feelings again. I shook my head lightly. 'No.' I mumbled. 'Did you say something?' Brad asked. I shook my head. 

A few minutes passed whilst we decided what to do. We went with my idea of getting Liz and Chloe to help us out. I dialled Liz to start with. 'Liz, it's Cecilia. Yes I'm safe, but no we aren't coming back just yet. I've spoken to Brad, we've decided we are going to stay together for a while.' I smiled as I spoke. Brad just looked at me the whole time. 'Okay, please tell my mother that I'm safe. Goodbye!' I ended the call. Brad smiled at me. 'I'm so sorry for putting you through this Cecilia, I understand if you actually hate me, I hate me too.' I shook my head. 'I love you Brad, no matter what. Though this really hurt, love hurts too.' I smiled weakly. Brad jumped, remember how he hurt me. He quickly ran across the seat to get to the back. He examined my arm, which was bright red with a bit of purple and black from the bruising. Brad had a strong grip, obviously too strong to know his own strength. Brad kept repeating his apologies. 'Listen, Brad. I love you.' I said, lifting up his head. He looked into my eyes and I looked into his. He then looked at my lips and went in for a kiss. It was passionate and full of love and meaning. That's when every single little feeling for Brad returned to me. 

Brad was the love of my life and that wasn't changing any time soon.
