33. Confirmation and Consequences

The moment I woke up, I realized that I'm having my birthday in seven days. I kind of wanna take myself on a hometown vacation too.

"Since when did these rumors started to spread?" I watched as Ellen asked Brad on the TV monitor backstage.

"It's been around for a long time now. Katelyn is our bestfriend and all of us are really close with her. Before we had these dating rumors, she even got into this rumor about her, being with Connor, but that wasn't true. We all know that." Brad answered, his thick accent buried into his every word.

"So... what is true? Shouldn't we know?" Ellen teased him and the crowd did too.

"Well–"

"Sorry, Bradley but you won't need to answer that alone actually. Let's have her here herself. Please welcome, Katelyn Campbell." Ellen announced. I heard applauses from the crowd and I went inside the main studio. I waved as I walked in.

"Hello." I greeted Ellen and gave her a hug. I gave the boys too, and somehow, the crowd went wilder when I hugged Brad.

"Hi. Looking good, huh?" She flattered.

"Thanks." I chuckled.

"You may have your seat, please." She said as we all sat into the couches. "So, Kate. We were just talking about you. We wanted some clear answers rather than those rumors and pictures we got from paparazzi's."

"Are you dating Brad?" She asked.

I looked at Brad. He chuckled and nodded.

"We are dating." I stated. The crowd cheered, shrieked, squealed and everything. Even the boys went whistling.

"Wait, wait, guys calm down. Since when, Kate? Since when?" Ellen asked again, curiously.

"It started a few weeks ago. Actually, we wanted to keep it 'cause we don't want to cause ourselves something bad." I said.

"We wanted to save it from the media since we all know how media affects some of couple's relationship so... we think it's for the better." Brad continue.

"Very well. You too value it, obviously. We hope it will last." Ellen smiled wholeheartedly.

"We do too." Brad nodded, as he took my left hand. The crowd squealed again.

The Ellen show ended. And I couldn't be more happy at the fact that Brad and I's relationship is not a secret now.

"Hey." I heard a familiar voice from behind and I turned to see Brad.

"Hey." I smiled to him. I'm at the dressing room and I'm removing some of my make-up because they started getting heavy on my face.

"You've got a text message." He handed me my phone. I took it from him and I read the screen.

Lauren

Happy for you and Brad. Be careful out there. :)

I gulped. I don't know what she meant exactly with these words. Is she warning me about Brad? But... that's impossible. I've known Brad a lot better than she does.

What the heck does she mean?!

Appreciated that, thanks. ;)

I felt Brad's arms in my waist as he gave me a back hug.

"You trust me, right?" I heard him muttered on my shoulder.

"Yeah." I whispered. Why shouldn't I?

We're at Connor's place, since we're Skyping with Jessica later. The boys were talking about their first book having it's release. They kept it a secret from me and I just knew it now.
