Hi //: n.h (COMPLETED)

-Chapter 7- ✔️

-Chapter 7-

"You are so beautiful." He whispered into my ear as we entered his bedroom. Bradley's parents were on holiday for the weekend, so we had the house to ourselves. I told my parents that I was staying at Olivia's for the weekend and got her to cover for me. I blushed and turned around, gently wrapping my arms around his neck.

"No, I'm not." I whispered, leaning my head against his chest.

"You are. I have never known something as beautiful as you... Or as right as us." Bradley whispered in my ear while stroking my hair.

I didn't say anything, but instead, I inhaled his scent. I screwed my eyes shut and forced myself to remember this moment, so that in fifty years I will remember it, even if I'm not with Bradley, because this is how love is supposed to feel.

Bradley slowly pulled away from my body and placed his hand gently under my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

"I-" He started and kissed my forehead.

"Love-" He kissed my nose.

"You." He finished, placing his lips against mine.

Our lips moulded against each other, and I felt so loved. I felt so happy that I could cry. Bradley is my life and I don't know what to do without him. He is my rock, and my everything.

We slowly pulled away from each other and Bradley rested his forehead against mine.

"We should get ready for bed." He whispered and I nodded.

He smiled and kissed the end of my nose once more before walking over to his wardrobe and pulling out a black t-shirt and a pair of tight black boxers. He handed them to me with a loving smile on his face.

"I'll go get changed in the bathroom." He informed me, grabbing his pyjamas before walking out of his room and closing the door with a soft click.

I quickly pulled off my clothes and slipped on the clothes he had given me. The boxers were just a bit big, so I bunched up the left over fabric and tied it with a hair bobble so it would stay up. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and walked out of his room.

I softly knocked on the bathroom door and entered. Bradley was brushing his teeth and handed me my toothbrush. We brushed our teeth in silence, and he left me to go to the loo.

I flushed the chain, washed my hand, dried them, and quickly ran back to his room.

The room was dark and the fairy lights I had bought him, were draped over his curtain pole, giving the room a warm and cosy feeling. Originally he had complained that they were too girly, and often told people I had forced him to put them up, which was kind of true. However, I got the feeling he actually liked them.

Bradley pulled me into the bed and tucked me in like a child. I rolled my eyes, but let him do so. He then climbed into the bed and climbed on top of me. He kissed my nose and lips before rolling off, wrapping his arms around me.

I looked over his shoulder and saw that it was 1.58 am, a stupid detail to remember, but I would. I looked at his face, which was lit up through the darkness.

"Cora, when I first met you, I thanked God for introducing me to such a beautiful angel, and I just wanted you to know, that I will never stop looking for a reason to love you, and I love you for all that you are. For all that you've been and for all you are yet to be. I promise that I will never stop loving you Cora Rachel Cecilia Russell, because you are my everything. I know that we're only sixteen, but I want to live with you and love you for the rest of my life. I promise that I will never let you go and I swear that I will never break your heart. I want to marry you-- not now-- but someday and I want to have children with you and grow old with you. I want to say I love you every single day for the rest of my life, so I can really prove to you that I do. I need you to know that I don't just say I love you out of habit, or to make conversation, but because I really mean it, and I hope that when you say it to me, you mean it too, because I love you Cora, and I will never be letting you go. So, you are going to have to put up with me for the rest of your life because from now on, I am not moving from your side." Bradley whispered, staring into my eyes. I didn't realise I had been crying until I noticed him wipe away my tears.

"You're cute baby." He whispered in my ear, pulling me the closest humanly possible to his body.

I laughed and kissed his nose. "Me? I'm not the person who just decided to declare his love."

"I love saying words just for us to know."

I woke up in a sweaty mess.

I sighed and got out of bed. It had been a while since I had these memories pop up in my sleep. I had seen a therapist who had got rid of them, but it seems like it was only a short term thing.

I opened the window and poked my head out of it. As I stared off into the night, looking at the lights that London projected in the night. I felt cold tears run down my face, and onto the window seal bellow me. I wasn't upset though, just nostalgic.

When I cry I don't make a noise. I've always been a silent crier, and that is the worst type of crying in my opinion. You do it when everyone else is asleep, it's a hidden secret. You can feel it in your throat and your eyes become blurry from the tears, it just makes you want to scream, but instead you hold your breath and grab your stomach to keep quiet. It's the crying that causes you to have difficulty breathing because you have finally realised that the person who meant the most to you is gone.

You will be seeing a lot of these chapters in the book. They are flashbacks, and may not always make sense, but they play a vital part is slowly understanding Cora's secret. They will never be more than 1K words.

That's all for now, so I hope you enjoyed reading this!
