Tonight (Sequel to All I Want to be is Somebody to You (A Brad Simpson Fanfic))

Chapter 32: Waiting

Brenda was sitting beside Miranda. I'm happy that we made up. Demi and Connor sat patiently on a few chairs near the exit. Katrina sat beside Miranda. I looked at Brenda and she looked at me. Her expression told me all. Something must've happened to Brad.

"How's Brad?" I asked.

"Whoa! Calm down eager beaver. He's still asleep." Demi said.

"I'm sorry. You all look like you belong in a funeral."

"We are tired." Miranda yawned. She had a jacket beside her, clearly James' because it on the tag it said McVey in his writing.

"Me too. I slept lousy. I couldn't stop thinking about Brad. I was spammed by messages this morning."

My phone buzzed. Another damn text.

1 new message from Tallia Scaletta-Cortes- at 9:15 a.m.-
Hey sis. Haha. You literally just saw my messages? Wtf! Anyway, I'm sorry to hear Brad lost 9 years of his memory. And that he broke his nose. All I see on my social medias is 'Bradley Simpson stage accident'. I hope he recovers soon. How are things going with Brenda and you? Btw, the kids are at school and Tatiana at the daycare. I'm at work. I am gonna visit you later. 😊

Ugh. Tallia, my perky sister. Now I'll have to deal with her. She better not bring the kids.

"Are you people the family of Bradley Will Simpson?" The doctor came out.

"I'm his wife. There's his daughter. And the rest are close friends." I said. "How's my husband?"

"He's fine. He just woke up. His memory is still messed up. And his nose."

"May I see him?"

"I am afraid not."

"Are you telling me that I, Tammy Scaletta-Simpson, waited one hour to get rejected on seeing my husband?!"

"I guess I am Mrs. Simpson. He does not recognize you. It could damage his brain even more."

"Alright." I sat down angrily.

"May I see him? He remembers me." Connor asked.

"Name?"

"Connor Ball."

"Alright. Follow me." I looked at Connor. He continued walking. I punched the seat to let my anger go.

After 15 minutes, Connor came out. But James came. James walked over to Miranda, took his jacket (I knew it) and went in to see Brad.

"How was Brad?" I asked Connor.

"Crazy. He is looking for Liberty. Then he is asking when can he leave. He was flirting with one of the nurses! His mind is jacked up." Connor replied.

"Brad is really looking for it." I muttered softly.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Alright. I hope James helps get his marbles back." Miranda said.

"I hope so too. I miss Brad's heat."

I waited half an hour for James to come out but he didn't. My day got even worse when Tallia appeared at her lunch break. Her job is 3 fucking minutes away. She'll come everyday.

"Hey guys!" Her squeaky voice chimed. I looked at her and secretly put the middle finger up. "Whatsa matter, sis?"

"Everything." I moaned.

"Maybe you're hungry!"

"No, Tallia, I am not hungry. I'm depressed."

"Maybe you have depression." An eavesdropping nurse said.

"Maybe you are being nosy and are in risk of losing your job!" I snapped back. I rolled my eyes. "I just want to be with Brad."

"I understand. Did you hear about Toni's and Julie's terrific news?" Tallia asked.

"No. I never texted them back."

"You're gonna be an aunt."

"What?! Julie is pregnant?"

"Yeah. One and a half months. They're so happy!"

I gave a weak smile. "That's amazing for them."

"I know. You're finally gonna get to share that amazing aunt feeling with me."

"I guess you're right. Wait till you share that mother feeling with us."

"I know. But Austin and I aren't ready."

"I wasn't and I ended up having four kids."

"Yeah. You gave mom and dad a heart attack of grandkids."

"You sure did Tammy." Miranda giggled.

"Shut up McVey." I yelled back.

"Why?" James said, approaching us. "What'd I do?"

"Not you, you're wife."

"Oh. Miranda McVey, shush." Miranda laughed harder. James went over and got on her lap. Her kissed her fast and then sat beside her, resting his body against hers.

"You guys are cute, weird, and funny."

"Strangers think I'm quiet, my friends think I'm outgoing, my best friends know that I'm completely insane and proud." Miranda smiled.

"Yup. That's me too."

"And me!" Demi yelled.

"And me!" Katrina shouted. Tris walked in and looked at her. She made a funny grimace that made us go hysterical.

"Katrina." Tris said. "You're in a hospital. I am gonna go see my mate." He kissed her head and walked to Brad's room. I envied that they got to see Brad and I couldn't. And I'm here, dying of anguish inside. I hope he recovers soon.

Tallia rubbed my back. And my best friends smiled.
