Saturday Morning, i have nothing else to do. I grabbed a few fun things to di, an made a few Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, and i called the only person i want to have Quality time with.

I got out of my flat and i locked the door, i got in my car and i drove to the nearest park. I got out of my car, locking the doors, i walked on the grass, i laid my mat a bit bear the lake.

I sat down, i took my stereo out, i played a few songs. I saw a few people playing frisbee, having picnics and other family activities, i miss my family. I just wish James and the boys were here.

"Somebody's looking sad." Brad teases as he takes a seat in front of me, "shut up" i scowl, "so, why did you invite to such a fine day in the park?" he asks, "i dont know i just want to do something great this weekend." i shrugged.

he opened the basket and grabbed a couple of sandwiches, he threw me the other sandwich, "let's eat." he says, i nodded and we ate in peace, the surroundings were quiet and everything was very peaceful, the silence was comfortable.

"Oh, by the way, Yesterday, i drove back to Birmingham to pick someone up, to bring here in Doncaster." Brad broke the ice, "who?" i raised an eyebrow, he smirks, he suddenly whistles, the familiar bark fille my ears, it was then that i realized

"Jesse!" i exclaimed, he jumped on Brad's lap, licking his cheek playfully. I giggle, "come here, Jesse." i patted my lap, it barked and jumped on me, i petted it, "Sit." Brad orders, Jesse gets off my lap and sits down

"want something to eat?" Brad asks, Jesse barks, Brad takes out a few dog biscuits out of his pocket and throws it towards Jesse.

"I miss this dog, so much." I smile. "I brought it here to keep me company, i'm not lonely anymore." Brad smiles, his eyes squinting because of the sunlight. The bags under his eyes were gone, and his smile was fully there.

"i'm glad." I smile back. "Go back home, baby, go to sleep." Brad orders, Jesse barks and ran away, "does it know where your house is?" I widened my eyes, "oh it knows, i tried it yesterday, it is good at remembering." Brad chuckles

We stare at the lake in front of us, "Mariotte." Brad calls, "yeah?" i ask, "Tell me the exact reason why won't you go home to Birmingham?" he asks. My eyes widened and a lump formed in my throat.

"Why do you guys keep asking me that?" i snap, "don't i have the right to know?" Brad furrowed his brows. "But, Brad.." i trailed off. "what?" he turns my face to look at him.

"tell me, Anne, i am your boyfriend, i have the right to know why." He demands, "Brad, please." i pleaded. I was about to speak, when we heard somebody call my name.

"Lucas!" i stood up, "Luke?" Brad narrowed his eyes at him, "what are you guys doing here?!" Luke exclaims, "we're just having a friendly picnic." i reply, "friendly?" Brad's eyebrows are nearly meeting.

"But, I, uhm." I couldn't find the correct words to say, Luke closed his eyes and shook his head, and walked away. "Luke! wait!" i tried chasing him, "i thought i was the one you were expecting." Brad crossed his arms on his chest.

I looked at him, i sighed, we both sat down again, "now, tell me, why won't you go back home to our beloved Birmingham?" Brad sounded pissed off, "Brad, i.." i wanted to break down, but today doesn't seem for me to do it.

"What?!" Brad shouted, I shook my head, furiously, as tears escaped my eyes. "Is it because of that stupid Luke Hemmings?! Oh, so he's the one you truly love and everything, isn't he?!" Brad screams, "Tell me, Mariotte!" Brad squeezes my hand.

"Bradley, please!" i snapped. "So it is him?! he's the reason why you don't want to go home?! Don't you see?! you're risking your perfect life because of a fvggot!" Brad shouts, "Brad, no, i.." i tried to stop him

"you know i've had enough of your flirty sht, you want him then he's all yours, you can do anything you want to him, we're over!" Brad screams, "Brad, No! Please not now, i-" i grabbed his wrist.

"let go of me." Brad's eyes were watering, I sighed in defeat and i let go of my grip, he walked away. I sat down, wrapping my arms around my knees and started crying.

my sobs were all i heard.

"not now, please.." i cried
