We all got our drinks and we are just sitting, talking about our likes and interests. I found out Brad was in a band and I found out that him and Ashley had their first date today. Which I have ruined because we met Seth.
My heart feels like it's beating out of my chest. I don't want Brad to know about me. He might treat me differently.
I reach for Rachel's hand and hold it under the table. She gives it a small squeeze. She always knows how to reassure me and to calm me down. I'm so thankful that I have somebody like that by my side.
I just hope I can be the person she wants me to be.
"Ash can I speak to you for a second??" Rachel says looking across the table to her best friend who nods with a smile standing up.
They excuse themselves and I look at Rachel with big eyes. I don't want her to leave me on my own with Brad.
She gives my hand another squeeze which to me tells me everything is going to be okay. I give her a small smile. I trust her. Her and Ashley stand up and walk away from the table.
I hear Ashley squealing getting all excited about something Rachel told her, making Rachel laugh.
"I wonder what she told Ashley ?" Brad asks breaking the awkward silence. I shrug. Taking a sip from my drink.
Oh wait it's probably about the kiss.
A smile forms on my face remembering our kiss that only happened less than an hour ago. In my mind, I wanted it to be more romantic but it still felt special.
Then I hear Rachel squealing. I look over at the two girls deep in conversation probably talking about Ashley's date.
" so when is your next gig?" I ask Brad nervously. I guess I need to try make an effort. I'm not good at this.
"Tonight. I was also wondering if you all wanted to come?" Brad asks, I nod.
"That would be fun" I say with a smile taking a sip of the hot chocolate that is still warm.
I can't explain how nice the feeling of something warm is. When I was on the streets, I just felt freezing all the time. I just hope I don't think of drink and drugs tonight. Maybe it's too soon to go out. I don't know, I need to try at least for Rachel.
Another awkward silence comes over me and Brad. I don't know what to say to him.
"You and Rachel are really perfect for each other" Brad says breaking the silence for the second time. I look over at Rachel and smile. The short space of time I have known her, words can't describe how much she has helped.
" same with you and Ashley. You seem really happy together" I say as he gives me a genuine smile and nods in agreement.
Maybe I can trust him. I just don't know. There is still a voice at the back of my mind telling me not to.
"Look Justin I know you might have had a rough past. But trust me when I say this your going to be okay and your doing great. Remember this please, that you always have us and we are there to look out for you always. That's what friends are for we look out for each other" Brad says with a small smile.
I begin to panic did Rachel or Ashley say something. Rachel promised. Loads of thoughts going through my head are making me even more panicked and nervous.
"Ashley and Rachel haven't said anything. I just guessed" Brad adds, I let out a sigh of relief. Least I know I can trust the girls.
I am beginning to feel secure and I'm definitely blessed to have such great people in my life. At least I know he said that out of his own back and it wasn't people putting words into his mouth.
I open my mouth and I begin telling Brad a bit more about my past. Not about the thing I will only tell Rachel. I just hope his opinions don't change about me after I tell him all the other stuff.
