My Love

End up Here

It's 2am and I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. I quickly pick it up, ignoring who the caller ID is.

'Hello?' I say into my phone,

'Hey char'

'Oh hi Brad?'

'umm I'm sorry it's late but I couldn't sleep, I was wondering if you wanted to talk?' he asks

'Well it's 2am in and I should be sleeping.... But sure we can talk' I say before he hangs up the phone then I get up and put my ugg boots on, slip my phone in my pocket and put my beanie on. Then I headed out the door where I saw Brad walking down the hall with his beanie on and his head down.

"Hey Brad" I say waving

His head looks up and a huge grin appears on his face

"Hey Charlotte" he replies

"So, why did you call me so early... then ask to talk to me?" I ask

"Well I was wanting to talk about... ya know, do.. do you want to get a coffee?" he asks

"Umm it's 2am but I will come and get a tea" I reply

he laughs "okay sure" he replies before we get in the elevator and leave the hotel.

-----------------------------------------------

Brad's POV:

We arrive at this 24/7 American diner, take our seats at a booth then order 2 teas.

"So.." Charlotte says to break the ice

"So.." I reply "could you explain to me how and when you got offered this.. recording deal?" I ask

She nods and begins to tell me the whole story, until we were interrupted by the waitress coming with our drinks.

"Well is there anything else" the waitress asks,

We look at each other smiling

"Nope were good" we say in unison then burst out laughing as the waitress just rolls her eyes then leaves.

"So as you were saying" I ask

"Well I called Drake last night and said yes to his offer" she says really fast

"Wait you said yes?" I ask, suddenly shocked, "is this your dream? you know that one thing that you've wanted since you were little?" I ask

She nods "yeah it is.... but I don't want to leave my best friends... especially you" she says

I stop and think about all the memories we shared and how I ruined some of them by leaving her for my career, I can't let her give this up just for me.

"Brad?" She asks, shaking me out of my thoughts

"You have to go, you can't change your mind because of me" I say

"Br-"

"No Charlotte this is your dream and I want you to follow it, like I did with mine" I reply

"Brad, when I get back to London I have to pack up then move out to New York"

I was stunned but I knew it was for the best

"Yeah okay, I understand" I reply when really I wanted to say don't leave me!

We carried on talking for a bit until 4am so we went back to the hotel and sat in the lobby.

Charlotte's head rested on my chest and I had my arm around her, I felt my eyelids get heavier and heavier.
