R U Mine? - The Vamps Fanfiction

Chapter 42 - The decision

I watched as Tris jogged after Brad.

I stared down at the ground for a while before walking out of the bedroom.

“I’m going to the toilet.” I mumbled, just as James and Connor were about to say something.

I slowly crept down the stairs, heading for the voices coming from down the hallway.

As I reached nearer the room, I could hear the conversation that was happening between Tris and Brad.

“Everyone is going through the same thing Brad. Dean and Joe won’t be with their girlfriends for the same amount of time.”

“You don’t understand Tristan.”

“I do understand. You are just being unreasonable.”

“I’m not!”

“You are Bradley. We all have to leave our families and friends for just as long as you do. No offence mate but Emily is no different.”

“She is Tris.”

“Brad. Listen to me. You are being ridiculous. You will be able to text her all the time and call her and skype her or facetime her. There are so many ways of communicating with her when we are away.”

I heard Brad sigh before Tris said:

"You, Bradley Will Simpson, are a nightmare."

There was a long pause and suddenly Tristan raced out of the room.

I stood back and pressed my back against the wall, my body in shadow as he walked past me.

I hoped he hadn’t seen me.

After he had gone up the stairs, presumably back to his bedroom I let out a sigh of relief and slowly peeped my head around the door of the room that Brad was in.

He was sitting on one of the sofas, his head in his hands.

I knew that I had to talk to him and reluctantly I walked into the room and sat down on the sofa next to him.

His head jolted upwards and he looked into my eyes.

“What’s the matter then?” I asked him, giving him an encouraging smile.

“We won’t be able to see each other for five months.” He mumbled.

I hated to see him upset, but, like Tris, I really didn’t realise why it was such a problem.

“We can text and call each other though.”

“This isn’t going to work Em.”

I felt my heart drop.

“I don’t see how this is going to work.” He repeated himself.

My heart was racing and my palms were sweaty.

“I’m sorry Em. I just honestly don’t know what I will do without you.” He said quietly.

“Brad it will be fine. We can make it work.” I smiled through gritted teeth.

“No Em. I can’t bare to be without you. I can’t go through with this knowing that you are so far away and I can’t be with you.”

“But Brad…”

 “I care about you so much and I don’t want to see you hurt.” He cut me off.

“I won’t be hurt Brad…I…”

“Em. Listen to me. Our relationship isn’t going to last that long without us seeing each other and I don’t want to cause you any pain.”

“Brad you won’t…just...please.” I stuttered, tears forming in my eyes.

“I’m sorry Em but I can’t do this. I love you but this isn’t going to work.”

I let out a long breath and nodded my head slowly to show that I understood.

I felt his arms envelope me and he pulled me into a hug. I lay my head on his chest, trying to prevent myself from crying.

“I love you Em. Always remember that. I will be here for you no matter what.” He whispered to me.
