Friends (BWS)

24.

Olivia's POV:

"Here you go" I said handing Levi a beer from the fridge.

"Thank you" he gratefully accepted. "So Olivia O'Neill" he said inspecting me.

"That's my name"

"What's on your mind? You look like you've got a lot to say"

"I guess I'm just missing my friends back home, ya know I knew that place like the back of my hand and here-"

"Don't worry, I'm here girl" he said cutting me off from what I was say and putting his arm around my shoulder. "Your not alone" he said gently rubbing my shoulder, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"Erm it's getting late Levi I think you should go"

"Yeah.. sure" he said awkwardly standing up and chucking his leather jacket on. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow"

"Yeah see you tomorrow" I smiled resting against the door frame, he leant forward and I froze thinking he was gonna kiss me but to my surprise he plants a small, simple kiss on my cheek.

"See ya" he said walking down the hallway.

The next morning I dreaded going into work, I didn't wanna see Levi or Brad and I certainly didn't wanna do any boring arse work!

"Skylar! Please tell me it's the weekend already!" I said laying over her desk.

"Almost girl! Two more days!" She said rubbing my head.

"Rough night" the sound of brads brummie accent made me sit straight up.

"Brad" i said quickly fixing my hair.

"That's my name don't wear it out" he winked and Carried on walking with his rucksack over his shoulder and a portable coffee cup in his hand.

He was acting completely opposite to how he was last night outside the flat.

"Brad!" I shouted trying to catch up with him. He turned around and smiled.

"Hey"

"Hi" I said forgetting why I wanted to speak to him. "I-i just wanted to see what you wanted to talk about last night"

"Oh don't worry I was just bored and wanted to know if you wanted to have a little bit of fun" he winked and carried on walking.

"Oh" I said to myself.

"Are you coming?" He stopped.

"Where?"

"Do you ever listen to Joe?" He laughs walking back to me and linking my arm as we walk down the corridor.

"We've got a gig tonight, only a small standing room for that competition we done a thew weeks back and Joe wants you to help with sound check and stuff"

"But I don't know anything about tech?" Brad shrugged.

We walked into the meeting room where everyone was already packed up.

"Yous two late again!" Joe said. "Come on we've got half an hour to get to the O2!" He shoved us out the room and into the parking lot.

"Are you cold?" Brad asks as we stand and wait for the taxis to come and pick us up. I nod quickly and carry on shivering in just my mesh bodysuit and leather pencil skirt.

"Here take this" Brad said, I turned round to se him taking his leather jacket off and wrapping it around me.

"Thanks" I smiled slowly starting to warm up.

"No problem it suits ya" he winked.

Suddenly my phone started to ring.

"Hello" I answered

"Hey"  Levi answered.

"Oh hey Levi" I said walking away from Brad and the others.

"Hey.." he chuckles. "I was wondering if you wanted to go out for a drink tonight I know this really cool like heavy metal band that are playing local tonight and we could go see them"

"What like a date?" I mentally cringed, I've never been on a date and I don't really like the idea of them.

"Er yeah.. if that's cool" he chuckled again.

"Erm yeah that would be cool, maybe come pick me up at 9?"

"Yeah cool.. see ya then"

"See ya" I hung up and made my way back to the others when our taxis turned up and we all climbed in making our way to the O2.

"What songs next?" Brad asked as he stood centre stage with a guitar hanging round his neck and a microphone infront of him, I admit he did look really good as he stood in a pair of black skinny jeans and a black vest top with his vans. I sat on the chairs Joe had set up infront of the stage and my job right now was to tell the boys which song was next.

"Brad I've told you this a million times now, after Somebody to You, it's Risk it all which starts off just you on the keyboard and then the other blend in" I said reading from the sheet I was given.

"Alright keep ya wig on!" He teased back and got ready. He started playing and soon enough his voice came in, I loved listening to Brad sing, I thought he had a unique voice that was just utterly beautiful. Seeing Brad up there playing the keyboard singing made me think back to what if I was to stick at performing would I be up there but then I also start to think about my dad and why I stopped going to my training classes and how sick my dad got and how helpless I was. I quickly stood up and made my way to the bathroom with my hand bag over my shoulder clutching it tightly, as I reached the cubical I sat on the on the seat and pulled out a little silver box with a little see through bag in it containing white powder.

Just a minor relapse.

I'm fine.

Once I was finished I washed my hands and made my way back to the studio.

"You okay?" Tristan asks as I bump into him.

"Yeah, come on you guys have a show to put on!" I said wrapping my arm around Tristan's slower back as we made our way over to the dressing room.

"Liv!" Brad announces my name too enthusiastically.

"Brad!" I mimic him.

"I was thinking" he jumped up and pulled me away from the others slyly. "Maybe we could hand out tonight" he winked and I knew exactly what he meant.

"Oh did you now" I flirted back, Brads looked so hot all day so how could I not go back to his. "Shit! I can't!" I slapped my forehead.

"Why not?"

"I've got a date!"

"What? With who?" Brad laughed.

"Levi"

"Levi!" He almost chocked on his drink.

"What?" I ask confused by his out burst.

"Nothing I just didn't see you as the lovey dovey date type!" He teased me .

"I'm not!" I said punching his arm. "And you know I'm not!"
