Ain't Just A Normal Fan || A Bradley Simpson FanFic

41. For Him

KATE's POV

Time flew so fast. Hours became days. Days became weeks. Brad is getting discharge tomorrow by 10 and here I am, sitting on the couch around the corner of this hospital room. I stared at Brad.

He changed, a lot. He was happy. Even happier now than he was with me back then.

I glanced at the clock.

It's just exactly 2 am in the morning.

"Hey." I heard a voice coming from the man I loved with all of my heart.

"Hi." I smiled, not knowing what to do but staring absentmindedly at him.

"Why are you still awake?" He asked. I'm thinking about you, babe.

"I just... can't sleep." I answered with my lowest voice. "Did I woke you up?"

"No." He said, sitting up.

I rose from my seat and looked at him. "Do you need anything? Do you... Do you need Lauren?"

He doesn't know how much it is painful to me. Seeing him happy and needing somebody else, instead of me. Yet, it's alright. I can sacrifice for his own happiness.

"Yes, but I..." He trailed off. "We just really need to talk."

My heart started racing as if he said something that is gonna be the death of me. We never talked about his situation, or the relationship we've left behind, my feelings that I've set aside. We never talked and I guess that's good. "O-okay."

He took a sharp breath in and looked at me in the eye. "Is it true? That you're my girlfriend?"

I slowly nodded.

"For how long?" He asked.

"Almost nine weeks now." It was October 20th now. He seemed taken aback.

"Why ask?" I asked Brad.

"Nothing." He shrugged. "Who would've thought we'll end up together?"

His words cut deep like a fucking knife, that I felt like I'm slowly dying. My tears stated piling up at the edge of my eyes. I looked away, blinking my tears, drying them.

"H-hey, that's not what I meant." He got up and walked towards me. Before he could even touch me, I flinched away softly.

"No, Brad." I shook my head.

"What I mean is, who would have thought that we could be together when we're almost just like friends? I must have seen something different from you than the other girls, when I fell in love with you." He explained.

That left me speechless.

He kissed my forehead softly. "I'm sorry."

He used to do this before.

"I know that you love Lauren, Brad." I sighed. "Do you want to break us up? I can let go for your happiness."

I know I'll regret what I just said.

Mostly if he's going to say yes.

"No." He replied. "We're not breaking up. Just give me time, okay?"

I nodded and gave him a half-smile.

Yeah, give him time while he's being happy with somebody else.

"And then what? You're gonna leave me behind after finding out that you still love Lauren? That you will never love me?" I mocked. Fck this mouth!

He smirked. "Loving you is never going to be impossible."

The door suddenly opened, revealing Lauren.
