Brad
I had spent the past day and a half in bed not talking to anyone but my dog and Abbie. We had been texting constantly and today I was picking her up to take her to band practise. It was as a friend but I felt like she was more than that already which is really confusing for me because I still feel like I have lost half of my heart to Dani. The thought of seeing the guys today and them asking about it made me feel sick and having Abbie there with me was going to help I didnt care what they said. As I finished getting ready and put my beanie hat on my phone began to ring and i answered it immediatly thinking it was Abbie...
Tris- Heyyyy
Brad- Oh alright mate
Tris- Yeah just checking if you are coming cos we haven't heard from you...
there was an awkward silence for a few seconds
Brad- Er yeah I am I just have to pick someone up I'm bringing a friend and can we just please not talk about whats happened...
Tris- Um yeah sure man thats fine as long as your ok?
Brad- I'm getting there
Tris- So whose your friend someone we know?
Brad- No you don't know her look I need to go cos I have to pick her up I will see ya in a bit.
I hung up before he could say anything about it being a girl.
Abbie
So today I am being introduced to the rest of the band as Brad's friend. It feels wierd like I have known him for a few days but I feel like I have known him all my life. I changed three times I was so nervous what if they don't like me or instantly think something is going on so hate me because of his ex. As I sat worrying and redoing my hair multiple times he text to say he was outside so I run down the stairs excited to see him.
Brad- Man am I glad to see you - he pulled me into an awkward hug because there wasn't much room in his car.
Abbie- Hey Bradders - I could feel the smile take up my whole face I really was so happy to see him
Brad- so ready to hear some music then?
Abbie- I am but what if they don't like me?
Brad- they have no reason to not like you your amazing and they will see that.
As we drove off from my house he rested his hand on my shoulder and I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach I tried to stop the smile on my face this was not a date me and Brad can't happen. He kept glancing at me and smiling which made it even harder but he clearly isn't over Dani, he just knows he can talk to me and that will have to do. We arrived outside a nice looking house and the garage door was open and I could hear drums being played and at that moment my heart sounded like the drums it was beating so loud.
Brad came and opened my door and pulled me out of the car just as a tall blonde haired boy which could only be Tristan came over to us. He was staring at me as he got closer not in a bad way but like he was trying to work out something.
Brad- Errr hey man this is errr this is Abbie, Abbie this is Tris... - He looked as nervous as I felt
Tris- Hey its nice to meet you - he held out his hand and I shook it as I said an awkward hi and I could feel my face start to burn.
Tris- So the guys are inside getting ready, it feels wierd rehearsing in our garage when in a couple of weeks we will be playing in arenas.
Brad- I know it is crazy, oh yeah - he looked at my confused face - we um we're Mcfly's support act I forgot to tell you, and well Joe hasn't announced it yet... and well we had other things to talk about - he looked at me and I could see the pain in his eyes.
Abbie- Oh wow thats amazing, like that is so good for your band and stuff.
The rest of the day went by in a blur I had so much fun, getting to know the boys who actually turned out to be really cool and understanding of me and Brad becoming friends they thought it was good for him. They played for a few hours and even filmed a new cover which I helped with which was pretty awesome and then we all sat down and ate ben and jerrys and just chatted. They had planned a party for tomorrow night and said that I was welcome to come so that I could meet the girls which was nice until they mentioned that as Michael is Becky's brother she had invited the boys from 5sos too. As soon as Tris mentioned it I saw Brad's face drop, I grabbed his hand and he just looked like he was going to be sick. The boys told him it would be fine and that they would keep him away from us but he still wasn't happy, he told them he would think about it and then we left. We drove to mine in silence, it wasn't awkward he held my hand and I just kept reassuringly squeezing it. We came to a halt outside my house and he looked over to me.
Brad- Thank you for coming today
Abbie- No thanks for taking me it was great to meet the guys there awesome
Brad- yeahh - he looked down at the steering wheel
Abbie- you don't have to go to the party tomorrow you know
Brad- right yeah I know but...
Abbie- But then they will know your sad but then you might also run into to seeing her with him and I know its all really confusing but I am happy with whatever you decide to do and I am here for you
Brad- I I well thanks, you well your amazing you know that right
Abbie- haha thank you I know right - he placed his hand up to my face and stroked a piece of my hair behind my ear and the butterflies started to erupt again so i pulled his hand away
Brad- whats the matter?
Abbie- Look Brad I am here for you and even though we have known each other for a few days I feel like you are the closest thing I have to a best friend but when you do things like that it makes me want to be more than friends and I know I know that can't happen so can you maybe not be so overly nice to me...
He smirked at me and then pulled me into a slow passionate kiss and I felt like noone else in the world existed. It must have only lasted a couple of seconds but it felt like it lasted an eternity. Then it was over and I was lost for words and he just looked at me and smiled.
Brad- Abbie I know this is probably stupid of me I mean getting involved with someone so soon, but I really like you and I just can't stop myself
Abbie- But Brad you your still in love with Dani, I don't want to get my heart broken
Brad- A part of me is always going to love her she was the first person I fell in love with but that part of my life has ended and I want with all of my heart to be able to be friends with her and I don't think I can do that without you I am not good with big speeches and stuff I want to be with you as more than friends and I well I - I cut him off by crashing my lips onto his.

PARTY IS ONNNNNNNNNN. I honestly thought we would have to cancel it after we told Brad his face looked like he had been smacked but like and hour later he was texting us saying him and Abbie would be their together. None of us knew what together meant but either way we were alll glad he wasn't depressed like the other day and he was back to texting us and having a laugh. Lauren had come round after band rehearsal and we were layed in bed watching finding nemo because well why the hell not. This whole drama really had made me think about us and how I couldn't imagine my life without her. I wrapped her tighter to me and she fell asleep a little bit later and I kissed her forehead before falling to sleep myself.
Dani
I was sat at home worrying about the party tomorrow when Becky came in telling me about the rehearsal the boys had had today and Brad had brought some girl. Neither of us had heard of her and it sounded like they got on really well and they were coming to the party together tomorrow. Although I was happy for him that he was able to smile again and it meant I could actually try things with Michael I still felt my heart tear a little bit at the thought of him moving on so fast. I KNOW IM A TERRIBLE HYPOCRITE. Tomorrows party was going to be eventful and I don't mean in a good way.
