Bradley's Little Sister ((Connor Ball The Vamps Fan Fiction))

Chapter 22

After a while we all went back to the house and just hung around for a while.

"Hey" I walked into the room the boys were sitting "hey" they all echoed "so what's going on?" I sat down on Bradley's bed "debating wether or not we should let you open your gifts" brad said "well who's debating that I should get them?!" I looked around at the boys "none of us" James laughed slightly along with the others "well I'm on the side of you should give Ashleigh what she wants or she's gonna slap a bitch. Or 4 in this case" I smirked "the love of my life aye?" Connor jokingly said running his hand along my knee.

The boys finally gave in and gave me my gift which was meet and greet tickets to one direction!!!!!! They were concert tickets with backstage passes, backstage tour and meet and greet tickets with the boys + photos.

"No! You've got to be kidding me! Is this? Oh my god" I screamed "your welcome" they all said "you guys. I. I'm speechless. Seriously. No. You shouldn't have. Oh my god" I freaked out "it's ok. Just calm down" Tristan sat a hand on my shoulder "I just. You guys. I love you so much you shouldn't have. I can't believe it" I said almost crying "here's the tissues" James said patting my back "thank you" I grabbed some.

We all chilled out and I told the boys about the modeling thing and the fans and all that stuff.

"You don't need to be a model to prove your beautiful. Your beautiful Ashleigh. Your the annoying brat we have to like" Bradley said "and you are a crap singer who nobody loves" I smiled at him.

After about 30-45 minutes someone knocked on the door. "I got it" Bradley jumped up. He opened the door and before I could see who it was or even what gender he walked out and shut the door.

"How ya been feeling?" Tristan asked as we both walked into the kitchen getting some drinks "same old. The hate just. I can't even spend my birthday without getting hate by the fans with their freakin 'reasons we hate Ashleigh' hashtag" I said a little annoyed "what stuff did they say?" He questioned "a lot of people were saying everything but then others just called me a slut or an attention seeker and I just can't fight it" I made some drinks "there needs to be something you can do. You can't just take all the hate" "I know. But they don't care about me or what I have to say so how am I meant to tell them?" I asked "we'll find a way. This won't last forever" Tristan hugged me "aw thanks Trissy your always there for me. I love you. Thank you" I hugged him back.

"Get out of here" I heard Bradley yell at someone so I went out since I was the only one who heard "Bradley?" I asked "ash. Just go inside and take Emmzy with you" he said as a girl taller than me with dark blonde haired girl walked over to me.

We got inside and we were just mucking about when Connor walked back from the bathroom "when were you going to tell me?" He whispered to me as he passed "tell you what?" "You know. Tristan obviously does" he sat next to me "I didn't tell you because, I love you lots darl no lie there, but, I didn't want you to stress and worry about me" I told him "I love you lots babe. That's why you should at least have told me this was happening. If you don't want me to help you then I won't" Connor kissed my cheek and started walking back to his spot "Connor. Please just come with me for a second" I stood up "ok" he walked up into my room thing in the hotel room with me.

"Con. I know I should've told you earlier but I'm sorry. I am sorry. And I didn't want you to stress. I still need you. More than ever. I. Just look" I lifted up my top 2 inches to reveal a bunch of cuts on the left side. "Ashleigh. No. Please bub. I'm begging you. Stop it. I love you so much please don't" he kissed my shoulder "I've tried Connor. I really have. I just can't take it sometimes and I'm sorry I really am. I need some help Connor" I hugged him tight "you don't need help. Everyone is just really rude to you because of Jason and Matt. Also you stole the heart of the best man on the planet" Connor tried to look modelish "correction. I stole the heart of the best boy in this room" I smiled "aw thanks. And I'm dating a wicked witch. Obviously" he joked "shut up, I'm a princess" "you are a princess. But just remember, you'll always be MY princess. No matter how many scars, how much acne, how many mood swings! You'll always be my princess" Connor hugged me "please bub. If you are ever feeling sad about hate or your doubting yourself, please please please don't keep it from me I love you" Connor kissed my temple.

We walked downstairs just as Bradley walked inside. "Brad! What the fuck happened?" I asked as I saw his eye, his black eye. "Emmzy. C'mon" Bradley said about to leave with this girl. "BRADLEY" I ran to him. He turned around as I hugged him "what's wrong?" He asked me "I love you Bradley. Please, tell me what happened. Don't leave me" I almost started crying "I'm sorry kiddo. I know it's your birthday and I should be with you but I have to leave. I can't stay in Glasgow any longer" he played with my hair "Bradley" I weakly said as the guys pulled me off brad as he walked out the door. "Bradley! Please don't leave" I cried running to the door looking at him outside "I'm sorry ash. I love you but I NEED to leave. The boys will explain" Bradley started getting in his car.

He soon drove off and I felt hands go around my body as I cried. I turned around not caring who was behind me hugging them. But I knew it was Connor as soon as I hugged him.

After standing at the door for 5 minutes I decided to sit down.

"Will someone explain?" I asked "I only heard today" Connor claimed "same" Tristan looked at James "I've known for 2 weeks" James said "since you know the most can you please tell me?" I asked almost crying again.

"Your dad. He has been abusing Bradley for the past month. Following the band around on tour and all that shit then when we got here in Glasgow your dad found out where we were staying and what floor and he has been fighting Bradley abusing him and the only reason Bradley fort back was to save you and Natalie. Your dad had told him the other day that if he didn't leave town then your dad was going to you and Natalie and he'd start abusing you" James said "wait something doesn't add up" I sniffed "why would he get brad to leave? Sure you said to protect natty and I but if Bradley's gone then he can get us" I said "I don't mean to scare you Ash but your father might be after you" Tristan said and I held Connor's hand tighter then ever "I know you guys said you had plans for my birthday, and our 12 years but I'm too scared to go out. Can we please have a movie night?" I asked and hey all smiled and nodded.
