...................Brad's POV.................
I looked down at Charlie, who has fallen asleep on my shoulder, and smile. I smile at the fact that the beautiful girl right there is mine.
We soon arrive at the hotel, and of course, there was screaming fans out front. I quickly shook Charlie awake, and after rubbing her eyes, she said "What's the plan then?"
"I guess me and Dean in front, then Brad and Charlie, then Connor and Kirsten and then James and Tristan" Joe suggested, and we all agreed.
Just before Joe hopped out of the van, he turned to us and said "Oh, and guys, watch the girls. You know what the fans can be like" and with that he was gone.
Next up was me and Charlie. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it, whilst pulling her closer. She wasn't an amazing fan of attention, but what bothered her was when they try to get closer. She's really claustrophobic and stuff, so yea. As we stepped out of the van, the fans started to go wild.
"Bradley!"
"BRAD! Please love me!"
"I love you Bradley!"
Was all I could hear, along with the occasional "Look it's Charlie!" and "Look! Aren't the adorable!"
I stopped and took pictures with as many fans as possible, a few even wanted them with Charlie, but we were told we had to keep moving. When we finally reached the hotel doors, they let Connor and Kirsten out of the van and the crowd screamed even louder than they already were. A lot of people were stopping Connor for pictures, but a lot were also stopping Kirsten too. It's nice to see that the fans like Kirsten and Charlie, cause they're sticking around.
After around 15 minutes we were all crowded around the reception desk. We had 4 hotel rooms between the 8 of us, but were arguing about who will share with who.
"Here we go! Joe with Dean, Kirsten with Connor, Brad with Charlie and me with James. Sorted!" Tristan looked exasperated, and probably wanted to sleep like the rest of us.
"Guys... Ughhh! Fine!" Joe finally gave in, so we all grabbed a room key and our luggage and ran to the lift.
We were on the top floor, with rooms 1, 2, 3 and 4. James and Tris in room 1, me and Charlie in room 2, Connor and Kirsten in room 3 and Joe and Dean in room 4.
Once me and Charlie arrived at our room, she ran straight for the bed and jumped on it, whilst I got a quick drink. I went into the bedroom no more than 30 seconds later, and she was already asleep. God, that girl has a real talent for sleeping... That being said, I laid down next to her and was out like a light.
*****
I slowly opened my eyes, expecting it to be quite bright in here, but instead finding that it's pitch black. I quickly check my phone and turns out it's 11pm. I also had a text, so I opened it.
"Hey man, come to my room when you get your lazy ass up! -Con"
I rolled over to wake Charlie up, but she wasn't there. She must have already gone. I got up and quickly got dressed before making my way over to Connor's room. As soon as I knocked the door was opened. I went and sat down in an empty spot before looking around. Tristan. James. Connor. Me. Kirsten. And no Charlie. Ok, so now I was getting worried.
"Uhhh guys, where's Charlie?" I asked slowly.
"She came over a few hours ago asking if anyone wanted to go for a walk with her, but that was it" Connor answered, looking slightly anxious.
"A few hours ago?! And she hasn't been back since?" I started to pace.
I picked up my phone and called her... Voicemail. Damn.
"We'll go take a quick look around for her" James and Tristan ran out of the room.
I sat down and kept calling her over and over, still not getting an answer.
"Brad, sit down!" Kirsten raises her voice slightly.
I sat down and put my head in my hands. I just watched the clock, and another hour had gone by before James and Tris came back. Without Charlie.
"We couldn't find her. She'll be back soon though mate" Tris pulled me into a hug.
We sat around for another hour or so, and by this time I was freaking out, before Charlie walked in.
She took one look at me and asked "Oh my god, Brad, what happened?"
"Nothing... Where were you?" I said quietly.
"I went out for a bit" she answered simply.
"Why didn't you answer any of our calls or texts?" I was starting to get frustrated.
"My phone went dead, sorry if I worried you" she genuinely looked upset.
"Ok, but you can't just take off like that without telling anyone or having your phone!" I said louder than I needed to. Her face went from an upset expression to one of anger and pain.
"Don't you dare say that to me! YOUR the one who took off for a month without so much as a phone call! I was only gone for 5 hours!" She yelled back.
That's it. I can't believe she bought that up. I got up and ran out of the room, leaving everyone yelling at me to stop.
