Consequences (Brad Simpson)

Chapter 15

Chloe P.O.V

The show was incredible as always and I was so proud "okay so for our last song we have a special guest who was in the video, so this is rest your love" Brad said oh god they want me to dance, I'm so glad I'm in leggings and not jeans, Con grabbed me "you'll do great" he said I nodded.

I did the dance I did earlier it wasn't much just a few simple moves with an acrobatic trick at the end, Brad was walking down the the centre so I decided to do some back flips and stop right beside him as the song finished the fans were going crazy, he lowered his mic "what are you doing?" I asked him but he just kissed me and everyone screamed I can't believe he did that but I guess it was going to come out sooner than later.

I pulled away "Chloe I have a every important question for you?" He said "love you Chloe" some girl shouted "aw love you too" I replied into the mic "will you be my girlfriend?" Brad asked "I thought I already was" I answered he laughed "Connor you've got to teach your sister some manners" James said we all laughed "but yes I will be" I answered he hugged me "thanks" he said "you're welcome" I replied and off we went but they had their encore to do so I watched from back stage

When my phone buzzed and it was a video from an unknown number with my kiss with Brad with a text following saying I needed to end it. That night when we made our way back to the hotel I felt my anxiety getting worse because I knew the message was from Cody but I didn't tell anyone this was my problem not theirs "you okay?" Brad asked as we walked into the hotel room "yeah" I said walking into the bathroom to start removing my makeup "why?" I asked him "you were just quiet on the way here" he replied "was just thinking about the show" I lied "did you like it?" He asked from the doorway.

I looked at him in the mirror I nodded "the fans adore you" I said he smiled and went back to getting ready for bed, once my makeup was off I brushed my teeth and got changed into my pjs, I posted some of my photos from previous shows on my Instagram, my page blew up like crazy and a lot of people were supportive but you know there's some who aren't but I can't let that get to me so I locked my phone and went to sleep cuddling into Brad's side.

It was now a month into the tour and we had two shows left in Europe as it turns out more dates were added so we spent longer in some places than others but I didn't mind, well I did because my anxiety can't take this much longer on the plus side with us having extra dates in Europe Lucy is loving the tour and I told her about Cody, the messages have been every day now from Cody and the fans, it's getting harder to hide it and especially with some fans getting brave and starting the hate messages and comments surely this can't get any worse right?

I was sitting in the new hotel room with Brad next to me "you know you can talk to me right?" He asked "I know" I whispered "what's wrong? You haven't been yourself lately" he said pulling me closer to him I sighed and showed him my phone of the fans stuff hoping it would be enough for him to leave it alone "why didn't you tell me?" He asked "because I've just been ignoring it" I replied he took out his phone and started doing something I looked up he was filming all the messages and comments I had been getting he then handed me back my phone and went to social media "no Brad don't" I begged

"no this is how trouble starts and I want to protect you" he told me and kissed the top of my head "but I don't want to come across as defenseless because I'm not" I said sitting up "I'm not saying that, look some fans don't know that they've crossed a line and need to be told" he replied I got up "where are you going?" He asked "I just need air" I answered grabbing my coat and walking out the room. I found the closest coffee shop and had a black americano, I got notification that Brad had posted something so I opened it up to see the video he took and he said he was disappointed with these people and that they need to stop,

he also said that he is really happy and he's glad he found someone to love and they need to respect that, I smiled to myself he genuinely doesn't want me to get hurt and he loves me I couldn't ask for more, I scrolled through my phone for another 5 minutes before someone say down in front of me "what do you want?" I asked locking my phone looking at Cody

"for you to come home" he demanded "no because I'm not an idiot" I spat "how many times do I have to say it" he said "I'm sorry for everything" he added "sorry won't cut it, you can't be sorry all the time Cody you actually have to pay for what you did to me" I replied "yeah and I've changed" he said I scoffed "yeah right where have I heard that one before" I spat "you broke me and not just physically but mentally too, I thought no one would want to be with me because I'm too damaged and scarred because of what you put me through, now I'm finally with someone who loves me for who I am and now I trust" I said trying not to cry "look when I found out you got back after your holiday and I didn't hear from you I got pissed and we both agreed I would give you time to spend with your brother but I missed you and when I didn't hear from you and I got so worked up" he said 

I scoffed "you burned me before leaving thank you for that by the way then you tried to rape me at my brothers flat you need professional help" I spat "and I went and got it and I did community service and restraining order is lifted and it gave me time to think properly, I don't want to be that guy anymore, so I went to see a therapist and I'm going to anger  management, look I know I put you through hell and you deserved so much more than what I gave you and I just wanted to tell you that I'm going home and I'm going to leave you alone because I can now see you're finally happy" he said being the complete opposite to how he just was a few minutes ago.

 I was shocked this isn't Cody "okay well I'm fine with that, I don't want you in my life" I said standing up he did too "oh no you're letting me leave" I said pointing my finger at him and walking past quickly before he could do anything when I got outside I saw paparazzi "aw shit" I muttered and made my way back to the hotel, I knocked on Connor's door well more like tried to break it down "C what are you doing here?" He asked I just walked in "I just did something stupid and I think the paparazzi got pictures" I said trying to stay calm "what did you do?" He asked "I just went to get a coffee and clear my head then Cody.." I said "Cody what's he doing here?!" He yelled "I don't know he just sat down at my table and he talked to me, said he was sorry for everything and he was heading back home, he wanted me to go with him" I explained

"back home? Has he been following us all this time?" He asked I sighed nodding my head "and you're just telling me this now?!" He yelled at me "I'm sorry I thought I could handle it on my own, I didn't want to make things worse for you since we're on tour and your stressed out as it is" I said "Chloe he tried to rape you!" He yelled "I know" I whispered feeling bad "you're so stupid!" He said throwing something passed me I flinched he's never done that before I just looked at him "I wanted to do this on my own because I'm not defenceless!" I yelled back "he's a psycho! What part of that don't you understand? Because you're acting like a child" he spat "Connor that's enough" Lucy said from the door I turned to look at her to Brad right there he looked hurt, disappointed, angry, nothing good "I'm sorry" I cried leaving the room walking past them "Chloe!" Lucy called but I just ignored her. 

I made my way back to my room and started to pack, the door opened "were you going to tell me?" Brad asked "yes I was I just didn't know when or how" I replied "Chloe stop" he said grabbing my hands "dont" I replied taking them away "I don't have time for this" I said walking to the bathroom and grabbing my stuff "what are you doing?" He asked "going home" I replied "no you're not" he said taking my bag away "yes I am" I replied "Chloe I'm not letting you walk out that door!" He yelled "why not?" I asked "because I love you and I want to be with you" he said I just stood there he sighed took the bag from my hands and put it down on the bed, he walked over to me retaking my hands in his "if you think I'm letting you go back home alone with Cody going around the answer is no, because you've been through enough and don't need anymore trauma to happen to you" he said "I need you on this tour with me to keep me sane and I can help you" he added "how?" I asked "I'm a great listener" he said and pulled me in for a hug.
