Bad Boy Brad

The Vamps Thrive Drive and Slide to Success

I'll never forget that day. When I was kidnapped and Brad screamed. He didn't even let me explain. He just shouted and shouted. I always thought that he was the one and that he would never forget that. Though it was if Cupid shot the arrow at the wrong person. Brad has been a key, not a lock. He was the reason why I have such a crazy best friend who I can rely on for anything which is Tristan and an amazing advice giver and motivator James and let's not forget my frickin brothers Connor and Lewis. You don't understand how grateful and how in debt I feel to Brad, but maybe that's what our relationship was built on. Debt. I felt like I had to repay Brad, and I knew he wanted me so, I gave him what he wanted most. Though he didn't want it very long. He had turned spiteful and venomous towards me, but you know what? I'm okay with it. I'm okay that The Vamps have thrived. Two million and something Twitter followers and fans that idolise them. It makes me happy. Even though Brad doesn't care exactly what I think or feel. I know that's he's moved on and I'm deeply upset but I don't think I was ever made for him. We aren't good for each other.
He's bad, I'm good. He's tough and I'm weak. He's south of the country and I'm North of it. He looks down on me and I look up at him. We are too opposite.
Warwick is great. The course is great and I have started university early as I am classed as gifted and talented student. I've learnt a lot and I am always one step closer to achieving my dream.

"Lovey it's been great seeing you and I know Lewis really misses you and Connor, so why don't you come down for the weekend. It will be great. Your little brother will get to see you and catch up and Sophia is in town for a couple of weeks you two could hang out. Come on what do you say we are all missing you," my mum begs. She gives me these puppy dog eyes I can't say no to.
"Before I say yes are the boys gonna be there? I mean I'm not ready to see them yet?"
"Baby, it been a year since you saw them how are you still not ready to see them?" My mum strokes me and hugs me. It's nice having her come down even though it was a long journey she still seems very enthusiastic. "Yes well I'm just not ready," I say bluntly.
"Their not supposed to be coming, so what do you say? Are you coming down for a month?" She begs. "I don't know mum, a months a long time,"
"What are you talking about the university said you can take a four month break for all the research work you have done as what your owed and I know you won't take four months that's why I suggested one. My goodness Ella, I won't take no for an answer," she rants with a stern scary look in her face. "Alright, alright I will mum," I smile as she hugs the life out of me.
"I knew you would," she smiles brightly.
Looks like this is going to be a long month.

We have been driving for hours and we have finally made it home. I can not wait to make it to my bed. "Ella!" I hear a deep pitchy scream. I turn around and see my little brother and Sophia. They both run and jump on me. "Hi guys I have missed you so much, how are you?" I hug and kiss both of them, more so Lewis because he's grown so much. "I'm fine sis, I just miss you and Connor and it's been boring without Sophia too." He squeezes me even more in a bone crushing hug. "Well I'm here now. I'm just gonna have a 40 minute nap then we can all catch up," I suggest and make my way to my old bedroom. It's just the way I left it.
I wake up to the sound of high pitch laughter and low voices. I change into something more decent looking touch up on my makeup and tie my hair up. I make my way down the stairs to find the unexpected. "Tristan?!" I scream and question at the same time. I'm happy and annoyed at the same time. If Tristan is here then they are all here. "Nice to see you too Elles," Tris laughs and envelopes me in a bone crashing hug. "I've missed you so much. How ya doin'?" It's hard for me to form words because I'm in such shock. "I'm good. I'm loving life and it's all down to my amazing fans," he smiles brightly hugging me once again.
"Is Connor here?" I ask hopeful.
"Yeah just in the kitchen," as soon as I hear that leave Tris' mouth I run into the kitchen with Tris not far behind me. I see Lewis by the door on his phone. "Lewis, guess what, Connors back!" I say joy evident. With that both Lewis and I bolt into the kitchen and run and jump on Connor.
"Connor we've missed you so much!" Both Lewis and I say in unison. Connor holds one of us in each of his arms. "I've missed you guys too!" He smiles and kisses both of us on the forehead.
"You've been working out haven't you?" I say to a smirking Connor.
"All thanks to Mr muscle over there," Connor laughs and points to James. That was my queue to run and jump James. "I've missed you and your advice James," I smile and hug James really tight. "I've missed you also little one. Besides you didn't need my advice your hotter then the last time I saw you. Bet you've got friends and boys at your feet," James smirks and is as if on queue Brad walks in, with a girl. "Hi Ella. Long time no see," he nods over to me. I don't make eye contact but scratch my elbow awkwardly. "Hmm, yeah," is all I have to say.
"Hi I'm Helen, it's nice to meet you," she extends her hand for me to shake. I shake her hand and look at her briefly. She's really pretty. Prettier than I am. "No she's not Ella," Connor says. He read my mind and boost myself esteem. "Who's not?" Brad asks.
"No one," Connor laughs and walks out the room with James, Tristan and Lewis leaving, just Brad, Helen and myself. "I'm er I'm Ella," I say not making eye contact with her.
"Well Ella your really pretty," she smiled and Brad snickered.
"So are you," I reply. I can feel Brad watching me whilst Helen takes her phone out and asks for my number. "Yeah let me type it in for you," I smile. She's nicer than I first thought she would be. "Thank you it was lovely meeting you, but I have to go and get a few things sorted. So I'll talk to you soon. Bye Brad," with that they fully made out in front of me and she hugs him and walks out of the room. Leaving Brad and I alone. I feel it's my queue to leave; but before I can make it out through the door Brad grabs me by the waist.
