He wipes his eyes. I never liked seeing him cry. Before I knew it, my arms were around his waist again. He seemed a little shocked at the start but then placed his arms back around me. My head was in his chest as his rested onto of mine.
At first when I felt droplets of water on my bare arms I thought Brad was crying again but it wasn't. It was droplets of rain and they began to become more frequent. I broke away from Brads grasp to looked up to the dark, cloudy, night sky. "We should probably run" I said. Brad nodded in reply, grabbing my hand. "Hang on" I spoke again. I quickly removed my heels to leave the thin fabric of my tights between my feet and the cold, wet floor. The rain became harder as it hit the cold floor forming puddles. I quickly grabbed Brads hand and began to run.
I made a left and then a right dragging Brad behind me as my wet hair blew over my shoulders from the breeze. We made it to the apartment door, my feet slightly hurting from the cold. I grabbed the key from my bag and unlocked he door. We walked up the stairs to my apartment.
"So this is me" I said as I unlocked the door.
"Do you wanna come in or ..."
"Oh, no, sorry the boys are probably waiting for me" he replied.
I turned around so I was facing him. It became more awkward as nobody did anything. My eyes darted around the hallway avoiding his. I didn't want him to leave like this. It was quite a good evening. I quickly wrapped my hands around his waist ending the awkwardness. He places his arms on my back so my head was in his chest. I moved arms a bit so we broke away.
"I'll see you soon Ab" he spoke. He began walking down the corridor and down the stairs, until I couldn't see his brown curls any more. I sighed and closed the door. I began taking off my jacket and putting it on the rack. I walked through the apartment to my room. I then got changed into my pyjamas and put my wet hair up.
I walked through to the living room and slumped on the sofa, turning the TV on. I longingly waited for Riley's arrival. I finally heard the door creak and Riley came storming into the living room. Before I could say anything Riley began to speak.
"You will never guess what I just found out?"
"What?" I asked slightly concerned.
"Brad has a girlfriend"
