The Story Of Us-Drew Starkey

Chapter Eighteen

The First Fight

We got back to the hotel and Bradley was silent "What's wrong?" I asked and he sighed "You were acting weird tonight. With my friends then at dinner... why?" He asked me and I frowned.

Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?
I'm getting tired even for a phoenix
Always risin' from the ashes
Mendin' all her gashes
You might just have dealt the final blow

"What do you mean?, 'why?' I was acting weird because I just met them. I don't know them." "I wanted you to know them, that's why we went out with them. You didn't have to be weird and quiet."

Stop, you're losin' me
I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore
For you
'Cause you're losin' me

"Because you wouldn't look at me! I tried to get you to talk to me, you could have asked me one thing tonight. But I didn't want to impose." I yelled and he rolled his eyes.

And the air is thick with loss and indecision
I know my pain is such an imposition
Now, you're runnin' down the hallway
And you know what they all say
You don't know what you got until it's gone.

"Bullshit!" "You dropped my fucking hand! I don't know any of these people, they're all strangers... They're all older than me... I felt so out of place and you didn't even ask me if I was okay! You just treated me differently." I yelled and he scoffed.

"What do you mean I treated you differently?" "You didn't even look at me once!" I told him and he frowned "What are you talkıng about I 'didn't even look at you'? Look, I was catching up with my friends, who I haven't seen in years and you're worried that I wasn't looking at you or talking to you. Grow up." Bradley told me and I raised an eyebrow.

"You want me to grow up? All I was saying is that you could have at least acknowledged me, make me feel loved." I told him and he laughed turning around. "You're literally making the entire night about you." "You didn't even look at me!" I yelled as he turned back to me.

"Holy shit. Holy shit. I can't. I can't. It's so, it's fucking selfish. It's literally like It's so crazy, you're makıng it about you." Bradley said and I rolled my eyes "Oh, so I'm selfish now... all I'm asking was that you could have included me!" "You're making it about you... Right now that's exactly what's happening... God you're acting like a child." He said sighing and sat on the bed. I crossed my arms and stared at him.

How long could we be a sad song
'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life?
I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy
And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier

"I can't do this." I muttered then I grabbed my purse and jacket "Where are you going?" Bradley questioned and I rolled my eyes "Out." I growled then slammed the door leaving then walked to the elevators. As the elevator doors closed I prayed that Bradley run after me but he didn't and so the elevator doors closed shut.

"Do something, babe, say something" (say something)
"Lose something, babe, risk something" (you're losin' me)

I walked through the London streets thinking, trying to calm down. My phone buzzed and Bradley's caller id flashed on the screen, I just looked down at the phone and let it go to voicemail.

"Eva, please come back. I'm sorry. I promise everything is fine."

"Choose something, babe, I got nothing (got nothing)
To believe
Unless you're choosin' me"
You're losin' me

I felt tears go down my cheek and I felt broken.

I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore

I looked up to see where I was going, I passed a book store. It was still open so I walked in and just looked around, there were just a labyrinth of shelves that were filled with old dusty books and by the looks of the binds, these were old books. "Hello, Love. Are you looking for something in particular?" The librarian asked and I turned to her, she was a little old lady wearing button up shirt tucked into her skirt and had a beautiful sweater over her shoulders. "Um just looking..." I muttered and she nodded then handed me a tissue, she must have noticed my red eyes. "Take your time." She told me and I nodded, I brushed my fingers down the row of books, taking in the feel of the binds.

I picked up a copy of Harry Potter and I smiled, I remembered the promise I made to Drew. If i read a book, we'd watch the movie together. I chuckled to myself and my phone buzzed again, it was another text from Bradley.

Bradley K: I messed up tonight. I'm sorry, please come back.

I stared at the phone and sighed, I put back the book then texted Bradley back.

Eva: I'm coming back.

I walked towards the door and looked at the librarian "Thank you." "Take care, Love." She smiled then I began walking back to the hotel. Once I got back Bradley was outside the hotel waiting for me "I don't want to fight again. I don't want to fight." He said and I just looked at him "Come on, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." He muttered grabbing my hand and I hesitated. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I dropped your hand. Come on. Come on. Come on." Bradley said pulling me into a hug and I sighed "I'm embarrassed... I'm sorry for acting like that." I muttered and he sighed "Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, no, I'm sorry." Bradley told me kissing the top of my head. He pulled away and grabbed each side of my head then kissed me passionately then pulling away "Come on, let's get some sleep. We got an early flight tomorrow." He muttered and I nodded.

A/N: Since all my chapters are mostly Taylor swift related... it's only fitting I also have to include the 'All Too Well' fight in here... all rights go to my Queen herself, Taylor Alison Swift, who made a masterpiece!!!
