"Just pray for your recovery." I say, looking around his room. He sighs, "Anne.." he calls. "Yeah?" I ask, turning back to him. "What if this is my heart failure, killing me slowly-", "Don't say that!" i quickly cut in. "What are you saying, Bradley?! you are not dying!" I exclaimed, "what if i am, Annie?" He looks at me.

I shook my head, "you aren't, you're still strong, i know that.." I held his hand. He smiles, kissing me on the chin, "I love you." he says, "i love you too." i reply.

BRAD'S POINT OF VIEW

Thursday..

Finally, I'm feeling better. I slid down the bars of the stairs, and landed on my feet, walking inside the kitchen. "Loser food." i pouted. I looked at the cupboards each one, but all there was were beans and other stuff i don't like.

I decided to get Pizza delivery. As i put my phone down, i sat on the sofa, and turned the TV on.

As i waited for the Pizza to come, i heard a knock on the door, "who is it?" i lazily ask, "it's us, Bradley." I heard a familiar voice answer. Who would be visiting me on 8PM?

I opened the door. James, Tristan and Connor stood on the doorstep, looking tired. "Where have you guys been?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "Birmingham." Connor answers, "what did you guys do?" I furrowed my eyebrows, "it's none of your bussiness, Bradley." James sighs.

I just shrugged my shoulders. I heard another knock, i quickly opened it. "Pizza Delivery." The guy smiles, i reached out for my money in my pocket, i lend it to the guy, "Pepperoni and Cheese, enjoy!" he says, walking away.

I put the box on the dining table, "You guys want some?" I ask them, Connor stands up, and walks in the dining room, and grabs a slice. "You better eat James, you haven't eaten since yesterday." Connor states. "I lost my appetite, maybe later." James stutters.

Tristan walks in and grabs a slice too. I waited for minutes for James to grab a slice, but he stays still on the sofa. I walked towards him and i sat beside him. "What's wrong with you? you have never ever rejected Pizza in your whole life." I furrowed my eyebrows.

James looks at me, and sighs. "I don't know.." he sounded tired and hurt. He stood up, finally grabbing a slice. He eats it bit by bit. "You know, you're free to bite on that pizza." I pouted. He shook his head, and continued eating the pizza slowly.

I closed the box and put in the fridge. I shuffled up to my room, I jumped on my bed, and slept.

.......

Friday.

I opened my eyes, yawning. I stood up, and walked in the bathroom, brushing my teeth. Washing my face, i looked at myself in the mirror. I winked at my relfection, I walked out the bathroom and dressed up.

I ran down the stairs, James was waiting for me there already. "Aren't we having breakfast first?" I ask, James shook his head. "You can eat in school." He replies, i just nodded and we walked down towards the parking lot.

We got in the car, and drove to school. The whole car ride was quiet and awkward. There's something wrong about James, ever since he last talked to his sister, he's been acting weirded and awkward. As soon as he parked in front of the gates, i bid him my goodbye and got out of the car.

I walked in the university, the hallways that once were quiet, are now noisy than a scared monkey. I walked towards Sydney and Niall, "hey guys!" i smile. "Oh hey, Brad" Sydney smiles back, "what's up" Niall winks at me. "Oh trust me, I went here without food in my stomach." I reply.

"Here." Niall and Sydney lend me a sandwich and a Coke. "Thanks." I smile, "why would you not eat breakfat before coming here? do you know how hard that is?" Sydney scoffs, "oh i've went through that, it was torture." Niall sighs.

"James told me not to eat breakfast, he told me i could eat here." I frowned. "James? you mean Anne's older brother?" Sydney raises her eyebrows. "Yup." I answer, as i took a bite of the sandwich. Niall shot me a confused look, "why wouldn't he?" Niall asks.

"I don't actually know." I shrugged my shoulders. "Niall! Sydney!" Somebody calls. They both stood up, a boy with weird colors in his hair, stood in front of us, and a girl who's as tall as Sydney.

"What do you guys need?" Niall asks. "Well, We'll be raising this small concert for charity, and we need a few acts." The boy rubs the back of his neck. "Maybe you guys could sing." The girl adds.

"Sure, why not?" Sydney smiles. I stood up and cleared my throat, "oh guys, by the way, this is Bradley, the new student he just transferred." Niall says. "Hi, Michael Clifford." Michael shook hands with me, "Jesy Nelson, at your service." Jesy smiles.
