Anywhere else but here

Chapter 28

Anywhere else but here

"Where have you guys been? I've been looking all over for you" I turned to find Bradie standing there with his arms crossed.

"I could say the same thing!" Andy blurted out.

It was getting late and we still had a party tomorrow night. It was New Years Eve.

****

"Hey did you want to stay here for the night?" Bradie asked just before we pulled up out the front of their house.

"I mean it's okay If you don't want to."

"yeah sure, why not?"

We all got out of the car and into the house.

"night guys." Andy called as he walked up the hallway, he stopped and looked at Bradie.

"I always hoped I've never have to say this to you Bradie. But no funky business!!" he winked and continued going to his room.

***

Bradie closed the door behind him.

"Since as you don't have any clothes here would you like to borrow some of mine to sleep in?" Bradie asked.

"yeah. Thanks!" I smiled.

Bradie went over to his drawers and pulled out a pair of boxes shorts and a spiderman T-shirt, and threw them to me.

I went into his bathroom and got changed.

Looking at my reflection in the mirror. Wow! I look tired.

I had a hair tie around my wrist so I threw my hair into a messy ponytail. That turned out to look pretty cool!

Walking out of the bathroom I felt weird wearing Bradie's clothes. They were a little bit too big for me and hung down pretty low.

Bradie was already in bed putting his phone on charge.

He looked up to find me and patted the bed next to him.

What am I doing? I shouldn't stay here tonight. Uncle John will be worried. Millions of questions ran threw my head.

"are you okay?" Bradie asked with a concerned look on his face.

"I'm fine!" I tried to fake a smile.

Bradie was sweat, kind, funny and nice but I still wasn't 100% sure I was in love with him. This felt wrong getting into bed with him. I had only known him for how long? But at the same time I felt safe and content.

*******

I woke up a little unsure of where I was. Soon realizing as I rolled over to fine a peaceful sleeping Bradie.

Oh my god this felt bad. I wonder how Shaun would feel about this or Uncle John? I know nothing happened but waking up in a bed with almost a complete stranger was something Mia wished never happened.

She quickly slide out of bed realizing she was in Bradie clothes.

Finding her clothes In a bunch on the floor she took them to his bathroom to get changed.

She looked at herself in the mirror, so confused of what to do.

Mia was a bit of a 'over thinker' as you could probably already tell. Thoughts rushed though her head.

I don't want to be known as a band slut. I'm meant to be coming here for a party tonight. I'm not ready for this.

Mia had recently lost her last boyfriend in a car crash. Josh. He was the greatest man she ever loved. She wasn't ready to move on yet. What was she thinking?

"I wish I was..." Mia looked at herself in the mirror. "anywhere else than here." she whispered.

Changing her clothes quickly she tip toed out of the room. Bradie still sleeping she silently shut the door behind her. Only to find two hands on her back that made her jump and slightly squeal.
