Bad Influence

Brad's P.O.V:

It had been a week since Liam and Angel told us that they were dating. I had crashed at Louis's house most of the time, but forced home by Daniel. Something about helping to plan the wedding. "Why the fuck do I have to help? I'm not the one who is getting married." I complained as I helped Daniel wirte the name tags for the tabels. "No, but you're my brother, and I need help from my family." Daniel explained. "This is not a good idea you know." I said and kept my voice low. Daniel looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "Inviting dad. Mum is going to freak out and start throwing stuff agian. You know that. So why bother?" I asked. "I would like to have both my parents there." Daniel said. "You don't get it Dan. Mum is worse then when dad left. Seeing him will only cause trouble. And she'll start screaming and throwing things. It's just going to end horrible for everyone." I said. Daniel looked at me. "Look Brad, I'm sorry that you feel that way. But I still have hope. It's going to be fine." Daniel said. "Fine, but don't ask me for help when it goes to hell." I told him.

I couldn't sleep well that night. I never could when I was home. I could hear Miky coming home around five. I also heard mum yelling at him for beeing home that late. I was happy that Angel didn't know too much about how my mum was. Liam didn't know shit either. The only person who knew was Louis. The only reason he knew about mum was that he was with me one time, when mum got one of her seizures. He had promised me that he wouldn't tell a soul. I felt a little better after Louis found out, he stopped asking me questions about why I never stayed at home. He let me crash at him as often as I needed to. I was thankful for that.

Beeing at the shithole also known as home were a nightmare. Daniel were stressed about everything. He even stopped yelling at me and Miky for beeing high. I tried my best to stay at Louis's house the days before the wedding. I only went home the day before the wedding. Everything was a mess. Daniel were running around looking for his suit, mum were drunk and Miky high. I would have gotten drunk too, if Daniel hadn't kept me busy finding my suit. Angel had called me too a few times to talk to Daniel about the wedding. Something about the theme. I wasn't sure. I honestly didn't care that much. "Bradly!" A voice yelled and I was forced out of my thoughts. "Yeah mum?" I asked and looked at her. "Why aren't you helping out more?" She asked. Mum had a bottle in her hand so I knew she was drunk. "Why don't you give me that bottle?" I asked. She looked at me then the bottle. "So you can drink it? I don't think so!" She said. Her voice had started to sound angry. "Just put the fucking bottle away. You're pissed." I told her, trying my best to keep my voice calm. Mum looked at me before she threw the bottle into the wall. "I don't like your tone, young man! And how many times have I told you not to fucking swear?!" She shouted. I knew she was having one of her seizures agian. "Just calm down." I said and tried to approach her. "You stay away from me!" She said and backed up. "Mum, go sit down." I said. She looked at me. "You look a lot like him you know." She told me. I knew where this was going. Se always did this when she was drunk. "You look a lot like him. And that is so fucking annoying. He was an asshole, and you are starting to become one." Mum said. Her voice was shaking wiht anger. I knew that she wasn't angry at me, she was more angry at him. But mum had lost her mind years ago, so I wasn't that sure anymore. "Mum, just calm down." I said, still trying to keep my voice calm. I could she mum looking around for something else to throw. It ended up beeing a flower pot. "I do not take commands from you!" Mum yelled as the flower pot split into a million pices. Daniel came running into the room. He looked at me and then the smashed flower pot and bottle on the floor. "Go to your room, I'll handle her." Daniel said. I didn't protest. My room was the only place I got peace.

The day of Daniel's wedding had come. He had forced me into a suit. He kept saying I looked really handsome. Yeah right. I hate wearing suits. The last time I wore one was in uncle Olviers funeral. I don't remember much of that day, mostly because I was like three or something. I remember seeing my dad cry, but that's about it. We arrived early at the curch. Daniel stressed around making sure everything was perfect. The Tomlinson's were the first guests to arrive. Louis was wearing a suit too, of course. Johanna looked really nice in her purple dress. The twins was wearing matching light blue dresses. Felicite had a dark blue dress on, while Lottie had a dark purple on. Angel was the most beautiul out of them, no doubt. She had let her hair be curly today, and she was wearing a light pink dress. "Wow Brad." She said as she came over. "You look really handsome." She said and gave me a hug. "Really? I can't wait to get out o this stupid thing." I said. Louis laughed. "I like wearing a suit. Hannah is a little pissed because I didn't invite her." Louis said. "I'm glad you didn't. She is so annoying, and she hates me." I said. "That's because you slept with her and never called her after that. But I'll admit that she is annoying, but I love her." Louis said. Angel just looked at us and rolled her eyes. "You two are unbelivable." She said. "And you love us." I said and winked at her. "Whatever." She said and rolled her eyes. We talked for a bit beore Angel's eyes lit up. "There's Liam." She said and waved him over. "Hey babe." Liam said and gave Angel a quick kiss. Me and Louis started to fake gag. "Really mature. You don't see me complain when you kiss Hannah." Angel said. Louis just stuck his tounge out. "What are you five? Grow up." Angel said and took Liam's hand. Louis laughed. "I'm never growing up." He said. "We know, bro." I said. Angel laughed. "Very funny." Louis said.
