It's Saturday morning and Brad is half way across the country so I'm pretty bored.

But my life doesn't revolve around Brad... I mean there are other things I think about apart from him, loads.

Okay maybe I rely on brads kisses to bring me to life, I don't need him sometimes I am my own person.

Just imagine what life was like when I wasn't with him, what did I used to do? Hang out with my friends!

I call Jessica my first friend.

"Yo!" I say through the phone

"Omg hi Pops long time no speak!" she giggles

"We should meet up today... town?" I ask

"Yup sounds cooool, 12:00?" she asks

"Yah ha" I say weirdly

She hangs up.

I still love Paige but whenever I spend BFF time with her she just talks about Niall Horan.

I block Brads number for today because I'm pretending that I don't need him and I'm free. but I think he knows I blocked it so he calls me on James's phone.

"Hello James" I say

"It's brad" he says moodily

"Oh um hi" I say awkwardly

"Why did you block my number?" he snaps

"I uhh wanted to not rely on you for today, I was going to unblock it" I say but he hangs up on me mid sentence.

I hate brad right now.

When me and Jessica meet up all I can talk about is how much brad DOESN'T understand me and how much he ANNOYS me. I think she's dying of boredom because all she answers with is a nod or 'hmm'

"Sorry" I say suddenly

"Sorry for what?" she asks

"For putting this all on you" I say

"Don't worry love that's what friends are for" she says but she obviously would rather be anywhere else but here.

"Today was a lovely trip but I should go" I say

I unblock brads number to find a load of texts from him.

I call him up.

"What?" He answers with

"Brad I'm so sorry, I thought... I was stupid. do you forgive me?" I ask

"I'm a push over aren't I? I should be more firm with you" he says

"What's that supposed to mean?" I say

"Can you please just let me have my own space for just a few days?" he asks obviously annoyed with me for asking as many as two questions.

"Yeah sure if that's what you want" I say

"Good. lets just act like we are single for a week. except from flirting and things" brad says

"Whatever" I say upset that he wants to get away from me.

"I'm sorry this time" he says and hangs up.

Gah. boys.

I run home and cry into my pillow like a 13 year old girl who just got dumped by the hot boy on the football team.

Yes. I miss him already. and yes. I want him now.

I call James.

"I really.... I just can't believe that I bore him! I'm so boring that he wants to pretend he's single?! wtf is this?" I scream into the phone

"Oh Idk sorry." he says

"But I... *sniff* ... love him" I say

"Most relationships have their ups and downs. like a roller coaster. you will make it through the down hill end of a relationship. I know you and you're strong and brave. don't let this ruin anything" James tells me

"Thanks you really help, honestly" I say

"Glad I could." he says and hangs up

My mum comes in the room with laundry.

"Everything ok?" she asks

"Top of the world" I say

"What's wrong now?" my mum asks

"Brad. he wants 'SPACE' like what is space when it's at home?" I say

"Just try and forget about him for now. men are complicated but you just need to deal with it all. and i know you can" and with that my mum-to-daughter chat was over.

Bored bored bored

It's almost dark now so I might go to sleep since I have nothing left to do.
I get a text

"I hate this silence it's deafening" from brad

"So you want to break it? shouldn't of turned me down. pretty pissed off with you right now" from me

"And with good reason. I'm pissed with you too for blocking my number like what girlfriend does that?" From brad

"What kind of boyfriend wants to pretend he's single and can't keep up a sulk for less than 4 hours?" From me

"I love you" from brad

"I love you more" from me

"I love you most" from brad

I lock my phone and put my candy cane pjs on and do my usual night routine except from this time I'm doing everything with a huge grin on my face the size of America.
