you're cute ➳ brent rivera + brad simpson

CHAPTER 14

A couple of knocks were hit on my door so I ran towards it despite being in heels. In front if me stood Brent wearing a black suit and a slick bow tie. His hair wasn't its messy usual self but styled making him look more mature. There was no SnapBack in sight.

A smile was spread across his face when he saw me and I blushed.

"You look beautiful." He whispered as he kissed me.

"Well you look very handsome." I returned the compliment and adjusted my red curve-fitting dress.

"Shall we?" Brent asked as he brought his arm out for me to hold. Today is the last day I have with Brent, I need to make it worthwhile.

Everyone groaned as a familiar slow song came on. Brent pulled me towards him and we swayed to One Direction's Little Things.

"I love you." He whispered as I rested my head on his chest. My phone vibrated in my pocket but I ignored it. This was mine and Brent's moment. It vibrated again and Brent stopped dancing so I could check who it was.

'Time to go, Mum'

I pressed my lips on Brent's and he was shocked at the intensity of it. It took him a while to kiss back but when he did, a few tears rolled down my cheek.

"What's wrong." He asked, cupping my cheek and kissing me again.

"I'm leaving Brent. I'm going home." I sniffled.

"I'm dropping you off later. We agreed to stay til the end of this." His tone increased and it scared me slightly.

"Not that home Brent, I'm going back to England. I'm sorry, I had no word in this, I couldn't stop it." I admitted, I felt a ton of weight being lifted from my shoulders.

"So this is what you do. Make a guy fall for you and then leave. Rebecca was right, I should've fallen for her and not you. Tallulah Durley, you're a conceited little bitch." He spat and my breath hitched.

"You don't mean that..." I whispered, "I know we've been through ups and downs but you don't mean that." Brent just shrugged and walked away, leaving me alone on the dance floor.

I ran outside into the rain and began my journey home. My hair getting wetter by the second and my dress getting heavier. What a waste of $75. Mascara ran down my face either because of the rain or because I was crying. My legs grew sore and I dropped onto the floor. Red surrounded me and I didn't want to get up. It was either fate or karma that brought Harvey to me. He said he'd take me home and I explained everything to him there and then.

Harvey sighed, "He's hurting."

As we reached a traffic light, Harvey held my hand. His thumb rubbed my knuckles and I smiled. We were close friends, like brother and sister. My house was coming up and Harvey parked his Mercedes. He leaned across the driver's seat and closed his eyes. My body copied him and we kissed. Harvey and I kissed. I widened my eyes as I realised what I was doing. I didn't feel anything at all though, no sparks, no butterflies...nothing.

"I erm have to go." I opened the car door and got out.

When I got into my room, I got changed into a pair of jeans and a tie-dye shirt. My phone was buzzing with notifications but one caught my eye.

'I'LL MISS YOU BOBALOB, Sophia xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo'

I smiled and resumed packing. I'm going to miss everyone.

As I walked down the stairs with my suitcase the door swung open. A soaking wet Brent stood there inhaling and exhaling deeply. He walked towards me and cupped my cheeks.

"Don't go." He begged and kissed me. This kiss was different though, it felt more passionate. We stood there for almost 10 minutes, just kissing. Our hands wandering all over the place and our lips moving together.

My mind was telling me to move away from him and I did. He furrowed his eyebrows and I began walking away from him.

"No Brent." I ordered.

"What are you doing Tallulah." He asked getting nearer to me.

"Go run off to Rebecca. Didn't you say you should've fallen for her." I reminded. Outside a car horn beeped and it was my signal to go.

Brent tried grabbing my arm but I released myself from his grip. It's time to move on.

"Airport miss." The driver asked as I got inside the cab.

"TALLULAH WAIT PLEASE!" Brent cried. I shut the door and asked for the driver to go. Brent ran, trying to catch up.

"Bye Brent." I whispered as tears rolled down my cheek.
