Apprentice (Bradley Simpson Fanfic)

thirty three

Since the beginning of the tour the girls and I have avoided going to see the boys perform because apparently ‘we distract them’, plus we’re asked to stay at the hotel and carry out admin and report back to Michael how things are going. Tonight however, we are going to see the boys, Shawn, Fifth Harmony and Austin perform in Manchester (weird I know, I always think its like Manchester at home). We’re allowed tonight because Angie and I are both leaving soon and its one of the final shows that the boys will be doing as well. I’s scary how fast everything has happened since starting the apprenticeship, I still remember the first day, meeting Brad and asking for a selfie. I’m still embarrassed by that. All the way to now, being in a relationship with a band member and travelling across the US. In less than a week though I’ll be back on a plane, beside someone I don’t know, flying back to the UK and waiting a week to see everyone again. Not long after that I wont be working there anymore, I’ll be starting university, who knows what will happen then. When I start Uni, the boys start their own tour and I’m dreading the idea of being away from Brad for that long, a week is hard enough, let alone several weeks whilst he’s performing all the time. I can’t think about that right now though, I want to focus on tonight’s show and enjoying and supporting my boyfriend’s performance.

The boys are out at the moment, sound checking and apparently filming the ice bucket challenge that they got nominated to do. Fifth Harmony are supposedly doing the pouring which I guess is okay, everyone on twitter is freaking out about Brad and Lauren, even though Brad announced our relationship, they speak occasionally but after the Olivia drama he knows to stay away. Speaking of Olivia, I’ve decided that today is the day I’m going to speak to her, since the incident she’s kept extremely quiet, which is nice for me since I don’t have to put up with her obnoxious voice, but I know I have to sort this out eventually.

I don’t want to just go in and yell at her, all guns blazing because that really wont solve anything, she’s the one who will be here with Brad for the week I’m gone and if I’m rude to her she’ll try it on with him again. I need to be calm and understanding, but it’s hard when her slutty hands have been on my boyfriend. To calm myself down I run a nice warm bath, using all my bath and bodyworks products I’ve picked up whilst in the US. I light some candles and lie down resting my head against the back of the bath. I play Ed Sheerans album on my phone, the most relaxing album in the world, his voice is incredible and everything on the album is perfect. I keep my eyes closed, just thinking about everything that’s been happening, but I’m pulled out of my thoughts by my phone vibrating on the side next to me. I attempt to get as much water off of my hands a possible before tapping the screen and putting it on loud speaker.

‘Hey Brad.’

‘Hi babe, what you doing?’

‘Well, I’m in the bath at the moment.’

‘Want to facetime me then.’ I can hear the him laughing under his breath, he thinks he’s hilarious.

‘You’re alright Brad, how’s sound check?’

‘Yeah, not too bad, we’re performing with fifth harmony tonight.’

‘Oh right, why?’

‘Don’t know really, something management just wanted us to do.’

‘Okay, bit random, but okay.’

‘We’ve got you four tickets, right in front of the stage, in front of me so I can sing right at you.’ I can’t deny that he is the most adorable boyfriend in the world.

‘Aw you cutie, is that all you called me for?’ I laugh.

‘Yeah, I kind of just wanted to talk to you…’ His voice trails off at the end obviously embarrassed by what he’s said.
