I fixed my hair for the final time in the mirror and walked out of the bathroom. I decided to go past what Brad had said and accepted his apology later on in the day. Plus, it's hard not talking to him for long.
"Are you ready?" I asked Natalie as I walked into her ensuite. We clearly over dressed for a dinner at Nandos. I glared at this beautiful girl's reflection in the mirror standing in front of me. Her short red hair were clinging on to her shoulders. Her black jumpsuit fitted her body perfectly, her heels lifted her body taller than her usual height. Her make up was flawless I couldn't stop admiring her. "You are gorgeous!" I yelled, laughing at her reflection. She looked over her self and smiled
"Really?" She asked turning around. I held her hands
"Really" I replied. There was no lie in what I had said. She looked beautiful.
"Well, I must say you look even better" Natalie stated. I looked over my self, little black dress with white heels. I suppose I looked at least presentable.
"Thank you" I looked at her again.
"Girls, hurry up! We're gonna be late" Brad shouted from downstairs. Which led Natalie and I to head to the door. As I walked downstairs, all I could see was Brad with his hand trying to pick his jaw up from the floor. He looked handsome as fuck. His hair, was hidden under his black hat. He didn't even dress regular he was in a full suite. Black blazer with matching trousers. "Wow" he muttered reaching out his hand guiding me down the stairs. "You look beautiful" he glared in my eyes fitting his hands in mine. I shyed away
"Thanks" I smiled. The way our hands fit perfectly gave me a buzz inside, this felt just right. He made me feel comfortable, I felt safe around Brad. There was something about him, that I can't figure out what but it makes me fall for him every time I look at him.
In the car all I could hear was the low volume radio music, Taylor Swift was always replaying on the radio. I sensed Brad's eyes glaring at me, I turned my head to find him still staring at me a smile appeared on my face. I raised an eyebrow. "Did I mention you look beautiful?" He smiled rubbing my hand gently.
"Yeah" I laughed quietly.
"Oh, well... How about amazing, gorgeous, stunning, like an angel, so fucking hot?" He replied making me laugh even more.
"Yeah" I replied again. Natalie, turned her attention to the back and began laughing.
"Brad, stop spoiling her" she warned him as she sent me a sweet smile. Brad completely ignored Natalie and focused his attention on me. He leaned in for a kiss, but I shyed away once again hiding my head on his chest. I felt his heart beating hundred miles an hour. I moved my hand to his chest rubbing it over his heart. His hand traced mine
"You're turning me on" he whispered into my ear. I rubbed it a little more before laying it still on his chest. I shut my eyes to see how he would react.
"Just gonna take a nap on Brad" I stated.
"Oh no, come on am I really that boring?" He questioned looking into my eyes.

Finally, we had arrived at Nandos, we sat on the booked table finding Michael and a few of his mates sitting around him.
"Hello" we all said introducing our selves. Beside Michael, sat one of his mates called, George. Across George sat his girlfriend, Lucy and next to him sat a guy called 'Jordan'. Natalie sat opposite Michael, I sat across Jordan beside Lucy and on my other side sat Brad.
Natalie and Michael had already started their conversation and Lucy and George were speaking about their other friends. Whilst Jordan sat quietly eating away at his chicken legs. I invited Jordan into Brad and I's conversation.
"Jordan right?" I asked, he lifted his head up showing off his bright blue eyes.
"Yeah" he replied "Jessica?" He asked. I nodded.
"Brad" Brad introduced himself.
"Cool man" Jordan replied spudding Brad's fist. Small talk led one thing to another, in almost 20 minutes I learned that Jordan was a dancer for living, his only 18 but very tall compared to many guys. We hadn't talked much about dancing as Brad usually talked about his band more.
"So how long have you been dancing for?" I asked Jordan, all I ever dreamed of doing was being a performer on stage showing off my moves.
"Since I was 4 but I only began my career when I was 16" it amazed me.
"Really? Me too... Well I'm not a pro yet but I'm focusing on school right now. But I'm going to sign for a dancing agency soon hopefully" I smiled.
"Oh really, what genre do you do?" He asked taking another bite of his chicken.
"I do basically everything, but I love lyrical and hip-hop" I enjoy those two the most. During this time Brad sat quietly, scrolling through his phone.
"That sounds really good. Well I think my agency might want to see you, you know they love hip-hop dancers. Can you act and sing? They love that too." He asked.
"Well I never really thought about that, I suppose I can act but I'm not sure about my singing".
"Well, why don't I give you their number, might be usefull in the future" he smiled giving me a random number from his phone. In the middle of all of this we exchanged numbers too. It made sense to stay in touch in case I needed advice from anyone. Whilst, we were exchanging our numbers Brad looked up at Jordan with no expression, and then continued to eat his chips.
"You alright Brad?" I asked, he nodded quietly. Then my ears focussed on Natalie and Michael's conversation when I heard my name being whispered in their conversation. I looked down at my phone as I focused my full attention on the conversation. As loud as it was in here I could here it loud and clear.
"Your friend, Jessica?" Michael asked to Natalie.
"Well, yeah, more like Brad's friend but we're close enough to be friends" Natalie smiled.
"I thought you'd bring your girlfriends and I'll bring my boys so we could go on a triple date" he laughed, and continued "I didn't know you made a change of plans" Natalie smiled back.
"I see, sorry about that I really don't know what's going on between them right now, they're in the 'is it forth it' zone. Trying to figure out of they really like each other or not" she replied, looking over to us quickly.
"Yeah well, Jordan was there yesterday in the shop actually. He saw Jessica and really liked her. His one of my good mates you know couldn't disappoint him" Michael added. It seemed like Natalie wasn't the only one listening to Michael as an awkward silence crept up on the table where Jordan looked at me and gave me an awkward look whilst Brad reached out for my hand and intertwined our fingers together. I looked at Brad and didn't respond. As much as Jordan was good looking and so my type, tall and handsome, smart and interesting I felt something different around Brad. It wasn't the way he looked, it was more about the things he would do and say that made me fall for him.
In the awkward silence, all that I could hear was my phone ringing. I looked down at the screen to find that it was Alfie calling me. I excused my self from the table and stood out side to speek to him.
"Hello, Alfie?" I answered the phone
"Hey baby girl" his words were slurred and he didn't even seemed like he had much common sense either.
"What do you want, I'm busy right now" I replied.
"Oh yeah, too busy doing what? Fucking another man?" He laughed as he slut shamed me.
"Excuse me?" I yelled through the phone
"Come on I see you and that Brad of yours all over the internet, I know you're fucking"
"Why are you calling me? Is that all you wanted to do, slut shame me? You fucking alcoholic!" I was furious.
"You ran away to him because I wasn't good enough for you was I? Because I couldn't fuck you like he would, because he was nice and I was just a dick. You know because he probably doesn't drink alcohol and his a good boy!" He cried through the phone.
"No- what are you on about? I'm not going out with anyone you idiot!" Then he cut me off with him crying, all I could hear in the background was glass shattering and loud noises"what are you doing?!" I screamed.
"What's the point?! What's the point of living if you're not going to be in my life. Jessica baby, please come back... I want you back!" Then he cried louder, and another loud noise followed after him.
"No what are you doing, Alf what are you doing please stop! Don't hurt your self please"
"What am I doing? I don't know Jessica I'm not doing anything with you gone I'm not alive I'm not alive I'm not alive. With you gone my whole life is empty... Bitch now with you gone I don't even have anyone" Tears began falling out of my eyes.
"Alfie, you don't need me anymore. And I don't need you either. We've moved on remember?" I tried to make him better but nothing worked.
"Please come home Jess..."he cried a little more.
"I can't" I cried, "I'm sorry I'm too far"
"I know, I know you are! That's why I want you here, I know you're not with your mother! I know you're not home alone either because I came to see you but you weren't there! You're never there, why would you leave me? Huh tell me Jessica tell me?!! Tell me, do you think this is funny?! I swear I am going to kill my self right now! If you don't come home now" he yelled, through the phone. I looked at Brad who was watching me cry, he stood up then Jordan did too, both coming over to me. I walked away from the two.
"Don't Alfie listen to me! Please don't I swear, I'm coming home now. I'm coming now just wait please!" I began running to the closest bus station I didn't know where it was but I ran somewhere, I just ran. Then I looked behind me, Brad and Jordan running after me calling my name. All I could hear was all three of them calling my name. Tears flew out of my eyes as I ran into an alley way hoping that the bus stop would be just on the other side. But this alley way seemed to go on forever. "Alfie don't do this to me please, I can't take this anymore! I can't you know I can't!" I cried but I didn't know what he said.

"Jessica, stop!" I heard Brad's voice as he grabbed me and stopped me from running. "Stop! Stop! Stop!" He yelled "what's wrong?" He asked, but I remained frozen, all I could do was stare in his eyes and get lost forever. All I could hear was Alfie on the line
"Jessica, please! Come and save me! Please Jessica, I can't even think straight with you gone" he smashed more bottles. "Do you - do you remember? Remember that time, you ... You stood at - oh for fuck sakes- the bridge? Remember the bridge? I came and I saved you? It was me! Bitch! It was me that saved your life! Your friends fucking drove past!" Tears began to make an ocean on the floor as I tried to fight Brad to get off of me so I can run and save him. Remembering exactly what he was on about. "I'm getting in the car Jessica, if you don't come today, I will jump! I will, because I have no purpose in life anymore! I don't even make you happy, what's the fucking point?!" He yelled through the phone.

"No! No! Alfie No don't!" I screamed into the phone, "I'm coming please just wait I'll be there just stay at home, just please stay there!" Whilst I try to brake away from Brad. "Brad please!" I cried "please let me go, his going to kill himself, please" .

That's when my legs couldn't take it anymore, that's when I fell on my knees, begging Brad. He lowered himself, and sat down beside me taking me into his arms and I cried into his chest. He stroked my back whilst he spoke to Jordan
"Call the police" he mumbled and gave his attention to me. "Its going to be fine, give me his address" he tried to calm me down, but it was hard when I couldn't breathe at all.
"Alfie, please. Where are you? I'm coming I need to know where you are" I tried to sound as clear as I can.
"I'm at my house Jessica, how long will you be?" He asked crying on the other line.
"A few hours just wait, please just wait" I mumbled "I love you okay, don't forget I still love you. No one will replace you. No one knows me like you, Alf, you know you're my only one" I cried remembering how good Alfie was to me. Then I gave Jordan the address and he called the police straight away. I still cried into Brad's chest. He comforted me.
"Everything will be okay" he mumbled. Brad made me feel safe. Next thing I heard was the police walking in to Alfie's home.
"Jessica why would you do this?!" He yelled through the phone.
"I can't come soon enough, I don't want you hurt, Alf. Please talk to Jane! Please just talk to Jane" I whimpered through the phone. Then I looked up at Brad "someone help him" I cried.
There was nothing worse than the thought of my best friend killing himself and it was all my fault because I ended it. I ended it all.
"We'll help him together. Okay?" He assured me leaving a kiss on my forehead.
