My Chance - The Vamps fanfiction

Chapter 24

I woke up to find Tristans arms wrapped around my waist, our legs intertwined and my face buried in his chest. I lifted my head slightly, trying not to wake him from his peaceful sleep. Carefully untangling our limbs, I made my way to the bathroom and took a deep breath before looking in the mirror. To be honest, I looked awful, my hair was like a bird's nest and my eyes were red and puffy from last night's crying session.

I pulled my messy, blonde hair into a ponytail and washed my face. I ended up looking worse than I did before but there was nothing I could do now so I just left it. I looked down at the fresh cuts on my wrist, they were too noticeable and I needed to find a way of covering them up. I grabbed a bandage from the first aid box and wrapped it round my wrist repeatedly. Pulling a jumper over my head and grabbing some leggings and shoes I headed out of the door leaving Tristan a note. I checked the time and headed down to the hotel restaurant knowing Joe and Dean will be there.

I sat down at the table with them and they both looked at me with puzzled faces.

"Are you alright Elle?" Joe asked, placing his hand on my shoulder.

"It was a rough night, I'm sure you'll hear about it when the others come down." I sighed, they both looked at each other with a concerned expression.

"Well Elyars been and gone, sorry Elle but he had to leave but he said he'd call you later" Dean smiled sympathetically, I wasn't really too bothered, I'd gone three years without seeing him so it wasn't an issue.

"Speak of the devils" Joe murmured as Brad, Connor and James walked around the corner. Brad looked up at me sympathetically but I didn't look at him, I was distracted by the look on Connor's face.

"What's wrong with you Con? You look like someone ate the last of your chips" Joe laughed but Connor didn't seem to find it funny.

"Just some dick messing with my sister" he sneered glaring at Brad. Brads eyes widened and so did mine, how did Connor know what had happened?

"What do you know Con?" I asked with a shaky voice.

"Tristan came to our room last night, told us you and Brad were having an argument, something to do with Elyar" he took a seat with the rest of us. Brad and James followed suit, both sporting a nervous look. Joe and Dean looked confused  as they had absolutely no idea what was going on.

"Where is Tristan anyway?" James asked looking for a way to change to subject.

"He stayed in my room last night, he wasn't in the best of moods" I told them looking directly at Brad.

"I don't understand, what's happening?" Dean asked.

"Basically Brad here doesn't like me hanging around with other guys and tried to make me choose between being with him or seeing my friends." I looked around the table and everyone was now staring at Brad in disbelief.

"Elle can we talk about this please" he begged, looking up at me with hurt in his eyes.

"Fine." I snapped and I left the table with Brad following me, leaving the others to do whatever they wanted.

"I'm really sorry Elle, I don't know what I was thinking, I was so stupid and I know I messed it up. I was just jealous and I know you're too good for me so I just over thought everything. I know I was wrong can you please just forgive me? I honestly didn't mean anything I said, I... I love you" he said, speaking as fast as possible. His voice was close to cracking, I was still in love with him and I wanted to be in his arms again so much but I needed time first.

"I love you Brad but I need some time, I trusted you and told you about Tyler and you threw it back in my face. I can forgive you but I'll never forget what you said. Just give me a few days" I told him, giving him a weak smile. His face seemed to light up slightly and he pulled me into a hug. I tensed up slightly at first but soon relaxed into it.

The rest of the day was pretty much uneventful, we had taken the tour bus back to Birmingham and I basically spent the whole time staring out the window whilst the others glared at Brad. When I arrived home I called Charlea and Sara immediately so I could tell them what happened.

"He said what?" They both gasped ad I finished telling them about our argument.

"I'm pretty sure he didn't mean it though, he was just tired and frustrated." I said trying to defend him.

"Are we in need of a girly night in?" Sara asked already getting up off my bed.

"Of course we are, I'll get the ice cream and you guys go choose some films and some blankets"  I ordered them already running down the stairs. Once we were all snuggled on the sofa and film had started smiled were beginning to creep up on our faces. However, I couldn't help but notice that Sara was constantly on he phone so I snatched it off her.

"Hey, I was texting James" she whined trying to grab it back.

"Just invite him over, Harry Potter needs your attention" I muttered pointing at the TV screen.

Not even ten minutes later there was a knock on the door and Sara jumped up from the sofa.

"James" we heard her squeal when she opened the door. Charlea and I laughed, rolling our eyes at each other and shaking our heads. Sara and James walked in hand in hand both looking a little flustered before they went to sit on the other sofa. Charlea and I looked it each other whilst wiggling our eyebrows at each other. We then turned to stare at the lovers on the other sofa who were already in full make out mode.

"Ew" I shouted throwing my spoon at them, soon wishing I hadn't as I now had nothing to eat my ice cream with. The spoon, however, had hit James on the back of his head and he was looking around confused as to where it had come from.

"Sorry Elle" they both muttered turning their attention back to the film, by now it was almost finished. I looked back over at them and they were both cuddled together with James' arm around Sara's waist. Without hesitation or even discussing what we were going to do Charlea and I mimicked their position.

I could hear Connor walking around upstairs, honestly I had no idea he was at home. He must have either slept for a ridiculous amount of time or just stayed silent for the last couple of hours. He soon walked downstairs and gave me and Charlea a weird look before looking at James and Sara and nodding showing he understood what we were doing. Before we could stop him he took pictures of both 'couples' and posted it on Twitter with the caption "who's the better couple?"

"Elle, I need to talk to you for a minute" he said seriously, I worried look was plastered across his face. I followed him outside and gestured for him to carry on talking. "Elyar said that you would need a lift to the doctors in an hour, car to explain why?" He asked looking at me with a hurt expression.

"Just a check up, I used to have problems with my knees so they just like to make sure that nothing's happened. Don't worry about it" I lied easily, it was the same thing I told everyone when I had to go.

"Good! I got worried then!" He sighed, pulling me into a hug.

"I'm fine Con," I shot him my best fake smile.

"I know for a fact that you aren't 'fine.' But that's a whole other issue" he said pulling me back into the living room so we could sit with the others.

"This girl's night in didn't really work out did it Elle?" Charlea laughed as Connor plopped himself next to her and I sat on the floor.

"These boys are alright though, as far as I know, they aren't actually dicks" I giggled, turning my attention back to the film to find there was only ten minutes left.

"Thanks Elle" James and Connor laughed.

"No problem" I laughed. "Connor should we get going now?" I asked him glancing at the time.

"Yeah, let's go! You guys can stay here if you want, we'll be back in half an hour" Connor told the others. We walked out of the room. I pulled a coat on and grabbed my shoes before walking out of the door.

The drive to the hospital was silent but I preferred it that way. I needed time to think about Brad, I really wanted to be with him again but I was still angry. As we arrived at the doctors I took a deep breath and turned to Connor.

"You can go get some food if you want, I'll out in a couple of minutes." I told him getting out of the car. He waved to me and drove down the road to our local super market. Taking another deep breath I walked into the hospital and towards the front desk.
