Brad's Angel

27: All it took was a phone call...

Months had passed...

It had been 7 months now...

For the first month, me and Carolyne had facetimed everyday, I used to text all the boys everyday, but somehow at some point... It all stopped.

I didn't know if they had the same numbers anymore, I didn't know if they still lived where they did, my life and their lives were completely separate...

Apart from about once a week, when Carolyne would phone and we would just talk for hours. We didn't speak much about anyone else and it was nice that at least I still had someone there for me.

But it made me upset that the others didn't care and they didn't remember me. Like, I could never forget them and just knowing it was so one sided made me realise that since the day I left, I haven't been myself...

I wasn't happy, bubbly and I was beginning to lose all hope on life...

As I sat alone at the cafe table, Scarlett's words ran through my mind again.

Brad was pushing me away, but he apologised... Now it was just Becca pushing me away and I don't have to see her...

Maybe I sho-

"Dee?"

I shook my head, coming out of my daydream.

"Sorry Emily..."

"Please just go back?"

"What?"

"Well your always daydreaming, you keep having nightmares that you won't tell me about, and you just font seem the slightest bit happy here..."

"I was thinking of going back... But just living on my own and getting back into the old routine there..."

"To be truthful, I want you to go back home."

"Nice to know I'm loved..."

"Nothing against you or anything, but I moved out here to get away from family. Don't get me wrong, I love you, your my sister, but I just need my own space to live my own life with my boyfriend. You look more and more like mum each day and... And it's killing me Dee. Please... You were always better off without me anyway. Out of us two, let's face it, you have always been the independent one!"

I sat back in my chair, letting all this information in.

"The thing is... If I move back, my old friends would have all moved on and forgotten about me. I'll be just as unhappy..."

"Dee. I can't force you to do anything. Your 18 now. You can think for yourself. I'm going home, you coming?"

"Yea sure..."

The car ride to Emily's house was silent. I was thinking of what I was doing with my life, and what I wanted to be doing.

I had earned enough money here to buy a little place to myself not far from where I was living before...

I could make it work.

Carolyne is still there, so I wouldn't be completely on my own.

I don't know! It was just hurting my brain, that's all I knew!

Me and Emily made our way to the living room, as she turned on the TV.

She was about to change the channel when I spotted something.

"EMILY! Don't change the channel!"

I grabbed the remote from her hand and turned up the volume.

"So, today I have The Vamps with me. A fresh, new boyband who have just released their first single!

Hi boys. How are you all today?"
