Brad
I woke up to see that I had had less than an hours sleep, so much was running through my mind, I just wanted to see Dani and make myself feel better. I decided that I would go to starbucks to get us both a coffee then head over to theirs and make up. I dragged on the nearest hoody I could find I was not in the mood to dress to impress I just wanted to see my girl. I slowly walked up the street towards starbucks and as I pushed open the door I noticed Dani sat over in our usual spot and I was about to walk over when I noticed her hand intertwined with his. I couldn't believe it I had spent all night worrying about us about her and this is what she has been doing, I felt like I had been punched in the stomach and I could feel tears prickling at the back of my eyes so I turned and run I had to get away there was no way I would give them the satisfaction of my tears. I run to the only place that kept me sane, a place me and Tris had found a while back whilst messing around. I walked down by the secluded lake where I often came to be alone with my thoughts, only I wasn't alone someone was sat down with their legs dangling into the water.
Dani
When I pulled my hand away Michael looked taken aback then he followed my eyeline and saw Brad turning and running out the door. I stood up to run after him when Michael grabbed my hand...
Michael- Is this what you really want? to be running after someone who can't make you feel the way I make you feel?
Dani- Michael I-I can't do this right now I need to talk to Brad explain to him..,
Michael- So thats it then, you're just going to pretend nothing happened? - he looked so sad like a lost puppy and it broke my heart but Brad was broken too and I just can't take all this drama
Dani- I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT MICHAEL - I practically screamed causing the whole of the coffee shop to put their attention on to us so I took one last look at his beautiful face and turned on my heel running out the door. I need my girls right now, I text Becky this is an emergency.
Becky
By the time me and Tris had got up and had breakfast, I recieved a text from Dani telling me she needed an emergency girls day straight away. I knew something wasn't right, I showed Tris the text and he said he would go and check on Brad so that I could have the girls over. Within half an hour we were all sat on my bedroom floor and Dani broke down in floods of tears. When she calmed down we finally got the whole story of her Brad/Michael drama.
Becky- Oh Dani I knew something wasn't right with you and Brad yesterday what are you going to do?
Dani- I-I-I don't know... - she looked like she had cried all the tears she had - I just I don't know what to do I don't even know what I want anymore I am so confused I was so in love with Brad I I still am but Michael just makes me feel I can't explain it... I am just a terrible person.
She broke down crying and me and the girls ran to her pulling her into a big hug.
Cait- You aren't terrible it isn't your fault two boys came into your life and i mean lets face it Michael is very hot
Becky- Ew can we not thats my brother you know - They all laughed even Dani smiled
Lauren- I think you just need to take some time decide what is best for you and what you truly want
Dani- But I don't even know where to start
Becky- Ooooo I have an idea lets do a pros and cons list for both
So we wrote down a list for each boy to help her but it ended up making things worse.
Dani- All I know right now is I want both of them in my life but no matter what I do one of them is going to hate me
Becky- I think deep down you have already chosen... I mean don't you think if everything was perfect with Brad you wouldn't have even considered Michael?
Dani- But But I love him... I guess your right but I practically moved up here for Brad
Lauren- well not really you said you were determined to go college here...
Dani- I suppose I think I just need to get my mind off this whole situation and look at all again tomorrow with a fresh clear mind
With that she stood up put a dvd in (Mean girls obviously) chucked popcorn over to us and we all snuggled up onto my bed to watch the film.
Brad
I don't even know this girl but I have practically told her everything... Her blonde hair glistened in the sunlight and our reflections shone off the water. She spoke softly as she tried to make me feel better, she resorted to making silly jokes and for the first time all day I smiled and it felt wierd like i shouldn't be. We had been talking for hours and I suddenly realised I didn't even know her name I realised I had been very self indulged...
Brad- I am so sorry I have just realised I know nothing about you and I am here telling you my life story - she smiled
Abbie- It's fine, honestly it was nice to be able to help someone else for a change... My names Abbie - she looked down at the water shyly
Brad- Well hello Abbie and thank you so much you have made me smile and after this morning I didn't think I would again
Abbie- i am glad, but if you don't mind me asking you obviously didn't trust her before it happened so was the relationship as strong as you thought
Brad- I guess I didn't think about it like that, I mean I thought she was the one she made me feel like no girl ever had but I mean a relationship is built on trust so I guess your right - I looked into her eyes and felt like she could see into my soul she was very pretty wait what am I even thinking I was just crying a river over Dani
Abbie- it was just a thought, I should really get going it's starting to get dark I didn't realise how long we were talking - she chuckled
Brad- Wow me neither it's easy to talk to you I feel like I have known you forever...
Abbie- I know it really does, well I know you are probably reaslly busy with your band and things but it would be nice if we could maybe hang out again
Brad- Of course I feel like I have found a new best friend... maybe more - I felt my cheeks burn as she blushed and looked out across the lake
Abbie- well I will give you my number and you can just text me when you want... and Brad... I'm always here if you need to talk
Brad- Thanks Abbie you really have made my day so much better, I will text you now so you have my number so you can text me so I know you get home safe
I pulled her into a tight hug and smelt the sweet scent of strawberries that made my knees weak, man I need to pull myself together. As she walked away I picked up my stuff and made my way towards my house where I noticed someone sat on the doorstep.
