It's Fate (Brad Simpson & The Vamps Fanfic)

Empty

Chapter 31

Amy's POV

"How's Lily? " James asks as he is cooking some pasta for our dinner. We are at his house.

"She told Connor last week that she needed some space which is understandable, she hasn't answered any my calls" I shrug.

"Really? I get why she's not talking to Brad, but you're her best friend" he says

"Yeah I know she isn't talking to anyone I know her, she just needs time" I smile, I hope she's coping ok.

"Ok, I can't believe Brad though Lily been so good to him" James says

"Yeah, prick" I scoff

"He's a prick Amy, but he's still my mate" James chuckles

"Smells good is it ready yet?" I ask wrapping my arms around James' waist from behind.

"Almost, patience Amy" he laughs. A few minutes later we sit down at the table and eat our dinner.

"Thanks James this is really nice" I smile.

"No problem"

"You should go on master chef or something" I giggle

"I couldn't do that, the pressure, I'd freak out" he laughs.
James' phone starts buzzing on the table and I see that it is Brad calling him.

"It's the prick" I laugh, sliding James his phone.

"I better answer-"

"It's fine" I smile, James smiles back and walks into another room to answer it.

Even though Brad has been an absolute idiot, it's hit him hard. I think he hoped Lily would forgive him or not care about him cheating but she is sensitive. She kicked off about him flirting with Rachel so Brad must of thought she's kick off about this. He clearly didn't think, I think it's because he wanted to tell her the truth because he cares for her, well that's what I like to think and not that he is an absolute arsehole. James comes back into the room looking confused.

"Everything alright?" I ask.

"I'm not sure" he mutters sitting back down.

"What did Brad say?" I ask.

"Well he went to Lily's house earlier to 'pick up some stuff' which I think was an excuse to she her, anyway he went and there was no answer" he says

"She might be out? Or is ignoring him?" I suggest

"That's what I said but he is worrying about it, there wasn't any lights on or any cars in the drive"

"Holiday?" I say, it's a possibility but I would have though she would have told me.

"Yeah" James sighs sitting down, he avoids my eye contact.
Oh god.

"You have invited him round haven't you?" I ask

"No"

"James"

"Yeah sorry Amy, but he seemed really upset" James says giving me puppy eyes.

"It's fine he can have some food, there's loads left over, if there is any left, should we leave some for your family?" I ask

"No they'll cook something later"

"When's he coming round?" I ask as there is a knock on the door.
Bloody hell.
James just gives me an innocent smile as he gets up from the table to answer the door
"It's a good job I love you Mcvey" I laugh.
A few seconds later James walks though with a very odd looking Brad. His eyes are blood shot, his hair all over the place he looks a mess.
He looks empty.
