Brad's Angel

37: Awakenings?

*3 weeks later*

I slowly opened my eyes and turned onto my side to find that I was alone in bed. As I began sitting up, a strange feeling grew in the pit of my stomach as I felt the urge to throw up getting increasingly faster.

I placed a hand over my mouth as I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom, kneeling infront of the toilet bowl, and emptying the contents of my stomach...

"Dee?"

I felt Brad place a hand on my back as his other hand helped keep my hair out of the way.

A few minutes later, I was confident enough to move away from the toilet bowl as I leaned up against the bathroom wall, with my knees pulled into my chest.

"Are you okay baby?"

"Erghh.. I don't even know..."

"Come on. Let's get you back to bed."

Brad pulled me up as he placed his hands under my knees and on my back as he carried me bridal style back into our bedroom as he layed me down and got in himself, pulling me into his chest.

"I love you Bradley..."

"And I love you..."

I felt my eye lids grow increasingly heavy as I drifted off to sleep, with the feeling of safety from Brad's arms being wrapped around my waist and my head resting on his chest...

"Destiny? Gurl?"

I felt someone nudge my shoulder, but I was too tired to open my eyes and answer.

"Destiny Brooks! Get the fuck out of this bed right now before I drag you out by the hair!"

I then felt someone grab my wrist as they pulled me off of the bed and as I landed on the hard, wooden floor, I let out a scream, as I landed on her...

"Carolyne? What the actual fuck?!"

"What?! I came to see how you were doing. Brad text asking what he should do and I said I'd come round and help him..."

My face lit up as she spoke about Brad.

"Really? He asked you what he should do because I'm sick? That is just too freaking adorable!"

"Yea... He's in the kitchen talking to Tris and Con about some 'guy' stuff..."

We both began laughing as he helped me up off the floor and I grabbed a blanket, wrapping it around my shoulders as I made my way into the kitchen, with Carolyne following closely behind me.

"What on earth was going on in there?"

Tris asked as he hugged me.

"Your arsehole of a girlfriend came and shouted at me to get up, then dragged me out of bed... literally... The floor isn't soft let me tell you that!"

The four of them laughed as I went over to Brad and stood by his side, wrappping my arms around his torso. As he continued talking, he subconsiously wrapped his arm around my shoulder before kissing my forehead, as I watched Carolyne make me a cup of coffee...

"Here you are lazy pants! Come into the living room?"

"Thanks. Yea sure?"

She grabbed my free hand and pulled me into the living room, leaving the boys in the kitchen to talk about whatever they were talking about... probably band stuff.

"Sooo...?"

"So Dee. Why were you throwing up?"

"I don't know actually! I just kind of woke up and felt really sick and yea..."

"Erm... Dee. I think you should take this..."

As I saw what Carolyne was pulling out of her bag, the coffee that I had just put in my mouth went everywhere... everywhere...

"A pregnancy test??"

"Dee. Think about it. When was the last time you two did 'it'? Did you use a... um..."

"Shit..."
