R U Mine? - The Vamps Fanfiction

Chapter 33 - Goodbye

I woke up to the sound of Brad singing in the shower.

I smiled and rolled over, the sun beaming through the curtains in the bedroom.

I stretched and clambered out of my bed to get changed.

I recognized that Brad was singing The Arctic Monkeys and I hummed along.

I put on my leggings and purple jumper before brushing my hair and applying some mascara.

I made the bed and packed up the stuff that was sprawled over the floor. I had only been in the room for about 8 hours but it was already messy.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and opened the door.

I headed over to Brad’s bedroom to get the rest of my stuff, but as I was about to walk in I noticed that he was getting changed.

I felt like I shouldn’t be watching him but my eyes were drawn to him as he pulled on a t-shirt over his chest, his curls bouncing on his head.

I jolted forwards to pretend like I had just walked in as he turned around and saw me at the door.

“I just came to pick up my stuff.” I smiled at him.

I grabbed my things and shoved them into my bag, before going downstairs to get something to eat.

I noticed, as I entered the kitchen, a yellow sticky note on the table.

“Hey Emily. It was great to see you, I hope we can meet up again soon. Love Nat xxx”

I smiled and went to the cupboard to get a bowl for my muesli.

I sat down at the table and finished it a few minutes later just as Mrs Simpson walked into the kitchen.

“Hello Emily.” She said.

“Oh hello Mrs Simpson.” I grinned at her.

“Brad is just coming down. Are you finished?” She gestured to my empty bowl.

I nodded and stood up, leaning over the table to hand it to her.

“Thank you so much for letting me stay here.” I said, pushing the chair that I had just been sitting on back under the table.

“No problem sweetheart. Any time.” She smiled.

I suddenly felt Brad’s arms around my waist and his chin on my head.

“Bye then Mrs Simpson.” I said loudly, and Brad immediately let go of me.

I turned around and smirked as he looked worried, but then realised that his mum hadn’t seen.

“Why were you so worried?” I whispered as we walked towards the front door.

“I dunno.” He responded.

“Is it because your mum doesn’t want you to get hurt again like you did with Liberty?” I decided to throw out that comment, as I had heard Nat mention it.

“How do you…” He trailed off.

“How do I what? Brad what’s going on? Tell me please.” I asked him.

“Nothing.” He said and slammed the door shut behind us.

“Brad.” I whined, and put my hand on his arm as I stepped in front of him to stop him from moving away.

He looked down at me, his brown eyes enveloping me and he pulled me into a hug.

He squeezed me and I breathed in his warm scent.

“Brad. Honestly. Please tell me” I said in desperation.

“Em. Honestly. It’s nothing.” He said.

I sighed and he rocked me slowly back and forth, cradling me in his arms.

“Right. Let’s drive you to school.” He said, and he gave me one final squeeze before walking over to the car.

I opened the door and sat in the seat. I lay my bag on my lap and put on my seatbelt.

I shut the door, and we drove off.

I glanced at his house just before it disappeared from view, wondering how long it would be before I would be there again.

“I hope we can meet up soon.” I said to Brad.

“We have to Em. We will. I promise.” He turned to smile at me.

“Yeah…” I sighed, really hoping that we would.

“I might be making this up.” Brad started, after a few moments of silence, “But I think Dean mentioned something about recording a new cover soon, and I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if you came along. I think I’m going to tell them that we are together and Liberty and I aren’t anymore. I don’t think I can pretend not to be with her for much longer. I could ask him if you can come if you like?”

“That sounds amazing! I would love to come.” I grinned at him.

“Awesome. I’ll message him and then text you what he says later today.” He said.

****

We arrived at school and he stopped the car.

I took off my seatbelt and leant in to kiss him.

“I love you Emily.” He whispered as he held my face in his hands.

“I love you to Brad.” I said, before hopping out of the car hoping that it wouldn’t be too long until I saw him again.
