Last Night

Resolutions

I find my book to read and sit back at the table. It's a good one. Lots of interesting things happening. It helps get my mind off the accident.

I get absorbed into it for a while, until I hear something on the radio. I turn it up. 

"I was walking away, but she's so beautiful it made me stay. I don't know her name, but I'm hoping she might feel the same."

I frown as I listen to the lyrics. These are lyrics from The Vamps.....and that voice. That belongs to Brad. I'm piecing all these things together in my head, being fuelled by the song. It starts dawning on me. Brad keeps talking about us being together.....hang on- I remember us being in a club together, and, and we kissed that night. He brought me back here, didn't he? And I stayed here...... I suddenly burst out in sobs, putting my hand over my mouth and laughing all at the same time. 

"I remember. I remember!" I keep saying it over and over.

"Brad? BRAD!!!"

I hear him run down the hall, calling "Baby are you ok??" He stops as he sees me crying.

"Is everything ok? What happened??"

"You're my boyfriend, Brad. I remember. I remember you. I love you." 

He covers his mouth and tears up, saying "Oh my God." 

He rushes over and lifts me out of the chair. He wraps his arms around me and holds me so tight for several minutes. He cries onto my shoulder, burying his face in my hair.

"Baby I...I don't know what to say. I thought you were gone. I thought I lost you forever!" he says before erupting in tears once more.

"It's ok, Brad. I'm here. And I'm not going anywhere."

At my comment, he takes my face in his hands and crashes his lips onto mine. There's so much warmth, and passion, and relief that I don't want it to stop. Once we break apart, I go and find the other boys. James is first.

I walk to his doorway and he sits at his desk frowning at my tears.

 
"Are you ok?"

He walks over and wraps his arms around my waist, and mine go around his neck.

"I'm back, James." Surprisingly he doesn't say anything, he just holds me.
I go into Tristan's and Connor's rooms and do the same.

Afterwards, we all go into the lounge room and talk for a while.

"Guys I'm sorry. I was being stupid, not thinking when I was driving. Then I-"

"Babe it's ok. That doesn't matter now. As long as you are ok."

(Later)

Brad and I decided earlier that we would go out, just the two of us. I sit on top of his desk in his room while he gets ready. 

"Hey Brad, so where should we go tonight?" He walks over and he's shirtless. He wears a Celtics Snapback backwards. 

"We can go wherever you damn like, anywhere at all," he says before wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me in for a kiss.

"Ok, I'll be sure to pick the trashiest restaurant in the suburb." I feel him smile and giggle through the kiss.
Once we break apart, he looks deep into my eyes.

"I just want you to know, and to remember, that I love you so much. It means the world to me that I can have you back, and that you have our memories again." 

"I love you too."

He gently kisses me on the tip of my nose, before taking my hand as we walk out for the first time. Again.
