Even If It Kills Me (One Direction and The Vamps Fan Fiction)

Chapter 26

Cat's POV
"I made the right decision, James. You didn't!" Katie finishes yelling at James and slams the door in his face.

Everyone holds their arms out to hug Katie when she turns around. We all embrace her in a group hug and Brad, Connor, and Tristan apologize for James' behavior.

"We're going to head to the concert hall early to hang out, do you want to come?" Brad asks me.

"Sure," I sigh."I'm so tired of all this fighting," I mumble, but Brad heard me.

"Aww it's okay, Cat. It has nothing to do with you." Brad comforts me with a hug.

"C'mon you'll have fun!" Connor grabs my arm and runs, pulling me with him.

"Wait Connor!" I giggle. "Uhh....feel better Katie!" I manage to yell before I'm pulled into the hallway and then into the bus.

Brad, Tristan, Connor, and I were in the parking lot of the venue. Brad was penny boarding and showing off. He did a kick-flip and landed perfectly.

"YES!" He yells and does the rock on sign with his hand. I laugh at how genuinely excited he is. He's so cute.

"I'm gunna go finish setting up my drum set cuz sound check is soon." Tristan tells us. Connor goes with him and Brad and I are left alone.

"You're actually pretty good at boarding," I compliment Brad.

"Thanks! I could teach you...only if you want me to..." Brad replies shyly.

"You're really cute when you act all shy" I tell him. He blushes and looks away from me smiling.

"Not sure if its a good idea for you to try to teach me, though. I'll probably die because I have no balance." I add.

"No, you'll be fine." He says and grabs my hand.

I step onto the board and almost fall over, but I grab Brad's shoulders before I do.

"Told you, no balance." I said.

"It's fine, I've got you." Brad says, interlocking his fingers with mine. "Place only your non dominant foot on the board." He tells me.

I take one foot off and leave only my left foot on the board.

"Ok now push off the ground with your right foot." Brad says, holding both my hands.

I push off and Brad lets go of my hands, still staying close though. The board moves forward a bit.

"Ok." Brad stops me. "to turn, lean your weight the way you want to go."

I push off again and lean right, Brad is in front if me to catch me if I fall.

Unfortunately, I fell backwards. I landed on my butt in the gravel.

"Sorry sorry sorry! Are you okay?!?!" Brad asks worriedly.

"Ugh this all your fault!" I joke. I get up and brush the tiny rocks off of me.

"You're ok, though?" Brad asks.

"Yes, I'm fine." I assure him.

"Ok, good. I'm sorry I didn't know which way you would fall and I guess I'm not the best teacher." Brad frowns.

I giggle. "It's fine, really. You don't have to be sorry, it's not your fault. I fell like 4 inches, don't be so scared!" It was kind of funny and really adorable how worried he was about me.
