Kadey's p.o.v

"K you look great, ready to go?" Izzy asks looking back at her car where Charlie and Zac are making out in the back seat.

"Iz, this really isn't a good idea. Can't I stay home?" I question walking to the car.

"You don't know who's playing! Just think of it as getting out there?" She states getting into the car.

"We can't even drink!"

"That's why we brought Zac along dummy!" She giggles starting the car up again and driving in the direction of the pub.

We walk in and the familiar stench hits me in the face. It's the smell of beer, cigarette smoke and dusty walls.

But the weird thing is that there are hardly any old men, if not any! Instead they've been replaced with teenage girls who are fangirling and holding up signs.

"I'm going to get you all a drink, I'll be back!" Zac says detangling himself from Charlie and walking up to the bar.

"These signs are saying The Vamps, heard of them?" Charlie asks looking around once more.

"I think I have, we'll have to see if they look familiar." Isabella says taking a seat at a table and gesturing for us to join her.

Zac returns with 4 drinks which we all happily take. I drink it slowly knowing that it's strong and I am extremely light weight. Even after drinking half the glass I already feel tipsy.

Lights begin to flash in one of the corners of the room and four boys appear holding instruments.

"Oh my god. Kadey get a load of this!" Isabella shouts.

"Wait." I study the four boys more closely. "Is that Bradley and Connor?" I shout back over the screams beginning to erupt.

"Hello there! My name is Bradley and this is James, Tristan and Connor." He shouts into the mic, the other boys join in saying "and we are The Vamps!"

"No no we are going home!" I scream.

"We're going to play our first cover Walks Like Rihanna. No one get up and leave!" Brad says looking at me and winking. It's enough to make my blood boil.

I down my drink while they start playing and stumble up making my way over to the group of girls dancing around.

"Oi Tessa, is that Kadey?" I hear one girl shout to her friend over the music.

"Oh my god yes!" She shouts back.

"Hey are you Kadey Reid?" They both shout at me one tapping me on the shoulder.

"Uh y-yeah?" I shout back not dancing anymore.

They both giggle. "Sorry, you must be the girl Brad likes!" The taller one says.

"What? We hate each other?"

"Well you may hate him but he definitely doesn't hate you!" The shorter one says.

"Ewww!" I stumble.

"Sorry we never introduced ourselves. I'm Tessa and this is Frankie." Tessa says holding out her hand which I take.

"We're dating a couple of the boys." Frankie states her face shining and her smile growing.

"The boys?" I question.

"As in James and Connor." Tessa replies.

"No way... which one of you are dating Connor!" I shout dancing around again.

"Me?" Tessa says quietly.

"He hates me too! Both Bradley and Connor do!" I shout.

After all the time of us talking The Vamps had played a couple more songs.

"We're going to play two more songs. 'Shout About It' and then 'Somebody To You'!" Brad shouts. "Also.." he continues, "we would like to dedicate these songs to two girls Tessa and Frankie. Also another girl." he then looks at me and winks.

What happened to Brad not wanting anything to do with me? When we hated each other and pulled pranks on one another to piss them off?

The songs begin to end and Brad thanks the crowd before they all join the crowd saying hello to the fans.

"Frankie!" I hear Connor yell as he runs over engulfing her in a hug. "Hey baby."

"Hey, you were really good tonight!" She says to him hugging her back.

Soon a boy is all over Tessa and I'm guessing it's her boyfriend James.

My eyes are then covered and I hear a light "guess who?" Come from the person.

I rip their hands from my face turning around being faced with Brad.

"What did you think? Did you like my special mention?" He asks, his eyebrows wiggling when he said special mention.

"Come with me." I snap dragging him through the crowded pub on to the silent street.

"What is it?" He asks, fiddling with his fingers and looking at his feet.

"What is it with you?" I ask.

"I don't get it..."

"You don't hate me!" I shout cutting him off.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Well... Yes and no."

"I've realised what an amazing girl you are, I just want us to get along."

"Brad we can't get along, you know that." I whisper looking down.

"Kadey, can't we forget?" He puts his finger under my chin pushing my face up to face him, "pretend it never happened and move on?"

"Bradley it did happen. It will happen again and again too." I snap pushing his hand away.

"Kadey c'mon..."

"No Bradley. I won't let you hurt me!" I push past him making my way into the bar looking for anyone I know.

My eyes begin to water and that's when I know it's time to leave.

"K you okay?" I hear Charlie shout as she runs towards me.

"Can we just go?" I ask looking for Isabella.

"Um, you meet us all outside by Izzy's car. Zac go with her." Charlie says pushing Zac towards me and going the other direction to look for Izzy.

We walk out of the pub to Izzy's car in silence. It's uncomfortable and awkward. I sit on the bonnet of the car laying on the windshield looking up at the stars.

"What did he say to you?" Zac asks joining me on the bonnet.

"He wants us to be friends." I whisper, my voice becoming small.

"Isn't that good?" Zac asks looking up at the stars.

"He doesn't understand how much it hurt me."

"Right guys let's go." Izzy says opening the car.

I decided halfway through their gig that this is after they released the album, they're just performing at the local pub because they like the pub owner :)
