My Chance - The Vamps fanfiction

Chapter 22

"That was amazing guys!" Tristan shouted as we all made our way backstage.

"That's how you end a tour" Tom smirked. Everyone had huge grins plastered across there faces and we were filled with excitement.

"I feel like a late night coffee stop don't you?" Danny asked easily packing up all his stuff as quickly as possible. The idea was to get on the tour bus before any of the fans could block the way. Everyone eagerly agreed with Danny and we decided to meet at Starbucks in 30 minutes.

Heading out the door, we split away from McFly and Busted and went to our bus. I sat down by the window and Elyar sat next to me, I looked up to see Brad and Tristan opposite us. I flashed them both a smile only to see that Brad didn't return it, he had a glum expression on his face and wouldn't make eye contact with me. I gently kicked his leg under the table but he still didn't look at me, he was obviously making the effort to ignore me. He pulled out his phone and started mindlessly scrolling through Twitter too quickly for him to be to read anything, I decided to text him to get his attention.

Elle: What's up?xxx

Brad: The sky.

Elle: Brad seriously, tell me what's wrong?xxx

Brad: Nothing it doesn't matter x

I looked up at Tristan who was looking at Brad with a concerned expression on his face. I turned my attention to Brad who was glaring directly at Elyar, he obviously had something on his mind and I had a feeling I knew what it was. I made eye contact with Tristan and gestured for us to swap places, he quickly got up and I took his seat.

"Brad, just talk to me" I begged him. He looked up at me and shook his head sadly before looking away. I grabbed hold of his hand and just let him think about whatever was on his mind. I squeezed it gently and he returned the gesture without looking at me again. He dug his headphones out of his pocket and listened to some music for the 10 minutes it took to get back to the hotel. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket and pulled it out to see a text from Tris.

Tristan: What's up with Brad?xxx

Elle: I have no idea, he won't talk to me xxx

Tristan: you haven't had a fight or anything have you?xxx

Elle: Nope, I have no idea what's gotten into him xxx

Tris looked up from his phone and smiled sympathetically, at that moment we pulled up to the hotel and made our way towards our rooms. I trudged up the stairs, my happy mood had gone as I realised the tour was over and Brad was acting strangely. It had been such a great experience while it lasted and I wish I could do it forever.

"Elle are you coming to Starbucks with us?" James asked as we found our keys to the rooms.

"Yeah, I'm just going to get my coat, I'll meet you in the lobby" I replied before shutting my door and chucking my stuff on the bed, I tugged my coat out of my bag throwing it over my shoulders.  I met the others in the lobby and we all headed out towards starbucks.

We walked down the quiet moonlit road in pairs, Tristan and Elyar were in deep conversation so I walked at the back with Brad. It felt awkward and he was still miserably sulking without saying a word. Without thinking I grabbed his hand, he did nothing to break the hold but looked at me for the first time and smiled. I gave him a small smile back and gave him the 'tell me what's wrong?' look.

"Post concert depression, I get such a rush being on stage and I'm just going to miss it" he sighed.

"I'm sure the others feel the same, anyway, it's not going to be long until you'll be doing shows again" I said.
