Consequences (Brad Simpson)

Chapter 20

Chloe P.O.V

I quickly tuned my guitar "okay this isn't finished and might sound a but rough" I told them

"Maybe you don't like talking too much about yourself
But you shoulda told me that you were thinkin' 'bout someone else

You're drunk at a party or maybe it's just that your car broke down
Your phone's been off for a couple months, so you're calling me now
I know you, you're like this
When shit don't go your way you needed me to fix it
And like me, I did

But I ran out of every reason
Now suddenly you're asking for it back
Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had

But I don't really care how bad it hurts
When you broke me first
You broke me first
Took a while, was in denial when I first heard
That you moved on quicker than I could've ever, you know that hurt
Swear for a while I would stare at my phone just to see your name

But now that it's there, I don't really know what to say
I know you, you're like this
When shit don't go your way you needed me to fix it
And like me, I did

But I ran out of every reason
Now suddenly you're asking for it back
Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had

But I don't really care how bad it hurts
When you broke me first
You broke me first
What did you think would happen?
What did you think would happen?
I'll never let you have it

What did you think would happen?
Now suddenly you're asking for it back
Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had

But I don't really care how bad it hurts
When you broke me first
You broke me first
You broke me first"

I sang the comments blew up and the boys were shocked "thank you guys" I said "what?" I asked looking at the boys they just couldn't get the words out I smiled "I'm glad it made you speechless" I answered I looked back at the comments and people were asking me questions about Brad "what do I love most about Brad" I read "have you seen this face" I said squashing into between my thumb and fingers and shaking it from side to side we all laughed "nah I'm joking" I replied

"no wait that's not what I meant" I said "lets start over" Brad replied "he's a great listener and always knows when to say the right thing, he's just gifted in fact you all are how you just make music puts me to shame" I explained "naw" Con said placing his head on my shoulders "get off me" I said moving him away "don't start fighting!" Tris yelled, we asked a few more questions and everytime I went to answer Connor would annoy me "bro I swear to god you do that one more time you ain't going to have hands" I warned him he mimicked me

so I continued he flicked my ear one last time so I grabbed his hand and I bit him not hard enough to break the skin just enough to give him a scare "ahh she bit me!" He yelled holding his hand "I did warn you" I said I looked at the comments the fan we're loving it "we should have our own reality tv show" I said the laughed well Connor didn't but the rest did.

We ended the live stream "that went better than I expected" I said walking into the kitchen to get a drink "what was that song about?" James asked following me "Cody and how he treated me and what happened on tour, he's tried to reach out but I just ignore him" I said "what's he been saying?" James asked "just telling me how he's been doing, he met a girl he also said when he feels angry he goes to the gym to let off some steam and it seems to be working for now" I answered

He nodded but he had this look in his eyes "I'm not talking to him you can check my phone you seen all his messages he sends me compared to mine that say 'that's great' or 'I'm glad to hear you're doing well but I'm not interested' James I don't want him back in my life I genuinely don't know why you all think that" I said "maybe it's because of this" I heard Brad say looking pissed he showed me his phone and there was another article about me with Cody?

But how is that possible I'm literally just out of rehab "this is an old photo like when we first started going out kinda old but there's only one person who has this photo because I helped her out with that shoot" I said "who?" Brad asked "Hannah" I answered "Brad you know that can't be possible I'm just out of rehab and I been here the whole time" I said he look began to soften he sighed "I know it just doesn't make this easy on me" he said "I know it doesn't but I'm going to fix this so you guys do what you gotta do and I'll be back soon" I said gave Brad a kiss then left.

I walked down to Debbie's studio I walked in "can I help you?" the receptionist asked "yes is Hannah working today?" I asked "yes she is, do you have an appointment?" She asked "no but I'm an old friend" I explained "okay I can call her" she said "oh no I want it to be a surprise what room is she in?" I asked "4" she replied "thank you" I said and walked through the doors to find studio room 4 I opened it to see her just packing up, I walked in "hey Han long time no see" I ssid she froze "hey Chloe" she replied standing up "what brings you by?" She asked turning to face me "not much was reading this article about me but there was something interesting about the photo it looks like the photo I helped you out with that couples shoot" I said walking that little bit closer she looked like she was going to shit herself "know anything about that?" I asked "no nothing at all" she replied with her best fake smile "oh hon you don't have to be fake with me I already know what's underneath" I spat "did you honestly think this would work? Sell a few photos of my previous relationship so Brad wouldn't be with me, that he'd go crawling back to you?" I asked her "did he tell you?" She asked I was confused "tell me what?" I asked back "oh he didn't when you were in rehab" she said

I was a bit take back "oh yeah I knew you were there he and I we had bit of fun shall we say" she said with a wicked smile "you're lying" I said "does it look like I'm lying call him and find out" she said I shook my head and just left, I ran home I opened the door and walked into the living "is she lying?" I asked Brad he looked confused they all did "who?" He asked "Hannah" I said he froze a bit "what did she say?" He asked standing up "it's true" I said "Chloe hold on what did she say?" He asked me again "you bastard!" I yelled hitting his chest, he grabbed my wrists so I wouldn't hit him again "you lied to me" I cried

"what the hell is going on?!" Connor yelled "he slept with her while I was in rehab" I said but it barely came out as a whisper "is that what she told you?" He said letting me go looking pissed off as anything "Chloe that is a lie I didn't sleep with that I wouldn't do that" he said "then what happened?" I asked he sighed "I was out I was just coming back from your rehab centre but they wouldn't let me see you, she caught me off guard she said she wanted to apologised for everything that went down last year, we just talked in the street we didn't go anywhere I promise, I was telling her how much I love you and much fun the tour had been with you and she kissed me" he said

before I could open my mouth "I didn't kiss her back I pushed her off me and told her she needed to leave me alone and that I was happy and I picked you" he finished I just looked at him "but you still kept it from me" I said "I didn't want to upset you and that fact I wasn't sure how'd you react I didn't want you to go back, you not being here was hell I didn't want to lose you" he said now letting the tears fall from his eyes "I love you Chloe" he said taking my hands in his "I'm sorry" he cried but I just removed my hands and went back out the door, I called Lucy on the way down the stairs telling her I was staying with her for a while.
