Bradley Simpson Imagines

Sometimes you have to ruin a friendship to start something new

You are just closing the front door behind you and want to walk towards the train station when you get a snowball in your face. "Hey!" You look in the direction of where the snowball is coming from. "Hey, where are you going in this nice weather?" Brad asks, grinning. You and Brad are neighbors, so you two are best friends since you were little. "I have to go to uni" You laugh and go closer to him. "Stay home and have a fun day with me in the snow" He wiggles his eyebrows. You start to laugh. "Brad, I can't just stay home whenever I want, I have to go there." "Oh come on, just one day, we haven't done anything together for a long time, I miss you." He looks at you sadly. "I miss you too, but I'm just so busy at the moment." You lie. The truth is that you are actually in love with him. You think he doesn't feel that way, that's why you avoid seeing him. You always tell him that you already have something to do or learn, which is just an excuse. "Please stay here, if you don't want to stay out here then we can do something inside." he looks at you intently. You don't know what to answer him and you don't want to cancel him again because you really miss him. You give in "Okay" You go to Brad's house, up to his room. Even though you have been in this room a thousand times, it's strange for you to be here, which may be because you haven't been here for a long time or because you feel more for him now. "Okay (Y/N) what's going on?" Brad asks you as he sits down next to you on his bed. "Nothing, what should be?" You laugh to cover your lie. "Oh really? Because usually you don't sit quietly in my room and stare at the wall or try everything so that you don't have to spend time with me." hurt he looks at you from the side. You don't answer him, you just stay silent and look down on your hands with which you are playing nervously. He takes one of your hands and looks at you intently. "Look, if I did something wrong then tell me, but please don't ignore me. Just tell me. Just talk to me! Desperately, he looks at you, which gives you a stab in the heart. "Brad, it's not your fault." "What is it then?" He looks deep into your eyes. "It's up to me, I got feelings for you" it breaks out of you. Quickly you get up and thus interrupt the eye contact. It's quiet for a while and you do not know what to say or do. A small part of you hoped he would feel the same for you but he doesn't. Tears run down your cheeks, you feel so stupid. Luckily he can't see it because you stand with your back to him and look out of the window. Suddenly you feel two arms around your hips pulling you backwards, so your back is on Brad's chest. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Brad asks. You shrug. I didn't want to ruin our friendship" You whisper. "You know sometimes you have to ruin a friendship to start something new." Carefully, he turns you around so you can look into his face. You are only a few inches apart. He puts his hand on your cheek and wipes away your tears. You look at him questioningly. "You really don't know how I feel about you don't you?" As an answer you shake your head. He laughs slightly. "I've been in love with you since grade four, but you've always seen me as your best friend. So I had to accept it, but when you just said that you have feelings for me, I couldn't believe what you said. You don't even know how happy I am right now that you finally feel the same for me" "Why didn't you say anything?" You ask now. "For the same reason as you." He answers. A small smile appears on your face. "We are really idiots" You laugh. "Yes we are." Brad grins and gets closer to you until his lips meet yours. It feels like fireworks and you couldn't be happier and you don't regret not going to uni today.
