Out Of My League (NOT COMPLETED)

Chapter 39: texting

We spent the rest of the day at the theme park, the boys and Rachel continued to go on the rides while I sat on a bench and watched. It made me feel sick just watching them on the ride let alone trying to go on it myself, I have always known that I'm not a fan of rollercoasters but I didn't know my fear had gotten this bad. "I think it's time to go home." Brad mentioned to everyone as they walked over to me. "Why?" Tristan asked. "Because its 7pm already and it will take me and Hayley a few hours to get home." Brad explained, Tristan gave him a disappointed look. "You guys can all stay if you want but my mum is here to come and pick me and Hayley up now." Brad continued as he held my hand and I stood up. "Well I guess this is goodbye until we go back to uni next week?" Rachel asked and I nodded, I stepped forward to hug her and she hugged me back. "Keep in touch and have fun with Brad." She whispered in my ear before she pulled away and smiled. "You too, have fun with James." I commented and winked before James hugged her from behind. "Goodbye Tristan." I said as I walked over to him. "Not goodbye, just see you later." He replied and pulled me into a hug, I then said goodbye to James and Connor before Brad took my hand again. "See you on Monday at uni." Rachel replied and I nodded before we waved once more and began to walk over to the carpark.

"I hate saying goodbye." I commented and Brad squeezed my hand. "It's not goodbye, just see you later." He replied as we reached Anne's car, I opened the door and sat in my seat before putting my seatbelt on. "Hi mum." Brad commented as he also put his seatbelt on. "Hi, how was it?" She asked. "Really fun, we went on lots of rides." Brad answered not wanting to tell his mum that I didn't go on any. "Well that's good, how are you Hayley?" Anne asked. "I'm good thanks, thank you for driving us." I replied and Anne smiled in the mirror to look at me. "That's ok, it's a pleasure." She replied and I smiled before looking out of the window as she drove out of the theme park, Anne put the radio on to fill the silence and the song Lego House by Ed Sheeran started playing, it's an old one but a good one. I hummed along to the tune and Brad placed his hand on my knee before I turned my head to face him. "Mum can you turn it up?" Brad asked and she nodded before turning the volume up, Brad started singing along and I smiled at how good his voice sounded, maybe another potential cover song?

"I'm out of touch, I'm out of love, I'll pick you up when you're getting down, and out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now..." Brad sang along and I smiled as he tried to get me to sing along too, I just refused as I can't sing and I didn't feel comfortable singing in front of Brad's mum. "Come on! Sing along, its just a bit of fun." Brad commented and I just shook my head. "I can't sing." I commented and Brad shook his head. "I bet you can!" He replied and continued singing along to the words, I looked out of the window again to see that it had started to rain. I don't know about you but when I was a kid I used to stare out of the window when it was raining and watch the rain drops fall down the window, I used to think that they were having a race and I would always have a little competition in my mind about which raindrop was going to make it to the bottom of the window first...

"You should maybe use this song as your next over?" I commented and Brad nodded. "That's a good idea, maybe I will suggest it to the boys." Brad answered. "There are loads of different songs you could use but I think this one suits your voice." I explained. "Yeah I do feel comfortable singing it and it shouldn't be too hard to learn on guitar, I think it would be a good song to cover." Brad replied and I smiled before he pecked my cheek. "How is your first cover doing Brad?" Anne asked. "Very good actually, we have already got 100 views." Brad replied but Anne seemed very distracted, she seemed to be in another world which worried me a little. "Mum?" Brad stated and she snapped out of her thoughts before picking up her phone. "Mum?" Brad said again before he looked at me in a confused manner and I shrugged my shoulders, something is clearly on her mind.

*beep beep*

I turned my head to check my phone but there were no messages on it, who's phone was it then? "Mum, don't text and drive..." Brad shouted, I realised it was Anne's phone that beeped and put my phone back in my pocket. "Brad calm down, there in nobody in front of me." Anne stated and I could see the worry spreading across his face, I held his hand to try and calm him but it wasn't working. "Mum!" He shouted again but she continued to look down at her phone, she took both of her hands off of the steering wheel to type a reply and I held onto the seat in panic. Why would she take her hands off of the steering wheel, the message can't be that important. Because her hands weren't on the steering wheel the car started to spin as the road was wet and slippery from the rain. "Mum! Stop texting, get off your phone!" Brad shouted over the music but it was too late... He went to grab Anne's phone as I looked out of my window to see a car coming straight towards my side of the car and I braced myself for impact, I felt my body fly across the car and the car flew across the road before I became unconscious.
