All that matters {Brad Simpson fan fiction}

Ten ~ concert

I was sat on the sofa with Mia, watching friends series when we both got texts strangely at the same time; we looked at each other in confusion and looked at our phones
'Its brad' 'it's tris' we said in sync before bursting out into laughter
'Im gonna read it now'

~ brads pov ~
'Bradley, tristan come in here' joe shouted from the kitchen
I climbed out of bed at joes and walked down to his kitchen as tris walked out of the bathroom, still with the toothbrush in his mouth
'What dyou reckon he wants' tris asked me furrowing his eyebrows
I shrugged my shoulders 'I don't have a clue'
as we walked into the kitchen james, con and joe looked up at us,
'Yeah' tris asked
just as joe went to answer his phone rang
'Its Laura, one of you boys tell them' he directed as he left the kitchen and answered the phone
' we was just wondering if you wanted to bring Nicola and Mia to the gig tonight, we're bringing people' James carried on from joe
'Erm yeah sure, I'll go and ask now, are you coming tris'
tris nodded before dumping his toothbrush in the kitchen sink 'Tris joes gonna kill you, you idiot' con said extra loudly so joe could here
'He won't know will he, shutup you idiot' tris hissed back
'Joes gonna kill you for what?' joe asked furrowing his eyebrows as he walked in the room
'Tris put his...' 'Nothing joe, Connors being a pest' tristan interrupted quickly before grabbing my arm and pulling me out the room laughing.

'you're an idiot, you know that dont you' i said to Tris smirking

'brad we all know you love it' he smirked back in return raising an eyebrow in a camp voice 

'shame about nic and mia isnt it, we couldve had each other' i replied with a sigh after letting out a giggle 

we both sat down on the sofa and put up our legs 

'im just gonna text nic, about the concert because if she dosent want too come and i text her instead of phoning i wont sound like a total twat' i said pulling my phone from my dressing gown pocket and typing in the password.

'Brad they was fans before we all spoke, they'll probably already have front row seats backstage passes and a taxi waiting outside the arena so they can get to our hotel before we actually do' tris laughed whilst tapping out a text

i quickly typed my message to Nic 

'Hellooo nic, i just wanted to know if youd like to come to the jingle bell ball tonight in manchester, Tris is inviting mia and you can come backstage and stuff and then were staying at a hotel near the arena, text me back if youd like to come

love Brad x' 

I pressed send and locked my phone 'what did you put' i turned to tris 

'mia do you want to come to our manchester show tonight, i remember you mentioning it and Brads asking Nic, let me know what you want to do, T x does that sound okay?'

'uh huh' i nodded whilst looking at tris, who was biting his lip anxiously, hes always taken relationships and girls so seriously and overthinks every little thing by a million times, he gets panicky over every thing and i guess its the fear of rejection, the fear of putting everything he can into something and the it all disapearing as if it was nothing atall, i mean anyone woud feel like he does if it hapened to them, hes been like this constantly since last time, since her. 

i felt a pang in my heart as i remnsiced the past year and how hard its been for Tris, a succesful year for us as a band but not for Tris personally, I felt a churn in the pit of my stomach as i glanced at him in my daydream, his eyes scanning the text over and over, 

All the fans of us and his distant friends and people that come across Tris see him as the person he used to be, but the people close to him know how much what happened changed him as a person how no matter how hard he thrives to become the person he was, the previous encounters throw him right back to where he started, but hes slowly getting better and hes happier in general and for the people who love him its a big relief, i mean Tris is the happiest person you'll come across always smiling and playing jokes on people to make them laugh and you just want him to be happy, everyone expects him to be i guess so he put on a brave face and he forgets about what happened alot but certain situations like him and mia remind him and he just dosent want what happened to happen again, he knows deep down it wasnt his fault but he acts like it was and i know Mia's right for him, i know she wont treat him like that.
