Omg, have you guys watched the video of The Vamps singing about Zayn leaving One Direction & Brad playing plank all over me with BBC Radio 1 on YouTube? You guys have to watch them both if you haven't! They're so fucking hilarious! Watch them both now before you read this chapter, they're hilarious, they're called:
"Zayn Malik Is Breaking The Vamps Heart #SurpriseKaraoke"
"Brad from The Vamps plays Plank All Over Me"
Honestly, they'll make you giggle. I almost cried watching the Zayn Malik one (with laughter, not out of sadness lol) but yeah, watch them & tell me what you thought.

5sauceotps: I actually didn't come up with the ship Rad & the idea of shipping Ross & Brad together *le gasp of shock from everyone*. These girls on tumblr/twitter did & some people started jumping on the band wagon of doing it including my two friends Olivia & Laina but I wasn't. & I was like "what's Rad?" & they told me & I wasn't too sure about it at first so I ignored it until I came to write My English Love Affair where I needed a situation for Ross & I couldn't think of one & Olivia suggested to me to put Rad in as a joke & I said no, but it literally got to the point where I had to add Rad in bc there was nothing else for him cos all his ships were taken even though I didn't ship Rad at the time. But, I did get to shipping it at around chapter 15... So, I guess you could say it was probably the best decision I made adding Rad in. But I WILL take credit for coming up with Codel (Connor & Rydel) bc nobody had come up with that before :D
snozberriesme: Yeah, I tend to make sayable acronyms for my stories such as MELA & I didn't realise I did it for this as well bc JOY. But trust me... This is my story I'm talking about. & Since when were my stories anything but "JOY" ;) & awe thank you! A lot of people blame me for shipping a lot of things & getting them into The Vamps & 5SOS as they were all originally R5 fans haha, so, I'm kinda used to it.

Chapter 3
Significant Other
Ross kicked the bedroom door open to the hotel room and threw Brad's bags onto the floor "Welcome." Ross said, walking over to the bed and collapsing back on to it.
Brad shut the door as he walked into the room, looking over at Ross who sprawled out on the bed "What a lovely welcome." He said sarcastically.
Ross sat up on the bed "Hey! It's the best you're gonna get in this hotel?"
"Really? How so?" Brad asked, walking over to him.
"Well... I accidentally walked into a staff member in the lobby, thus resulting in my suitcase rolling over her foot – ironically the one who was giving me the key to the room – so when I got to the desk, she literally just... threw the door key at me. And... now I'm scared to go near her. Australians scare me..." Ross explained, pouting slightly in fear as he looked up at Brad.
Brad pinches Ross' cheek, being stood in front of him "Awe, it doesn't take much to scare you."
Ross glared up at him with a small frown which made Brad laugh. Ross pulled him onto his lap "So, how was England?" He asked.
"Cold, as usual, and good I guess... Even though it was only for a week."
"Oh, well, you'll get to go back in like... a year... when we get there on tour. For about... a month. Still it's better than nothing."
Brad let out a small laugh and seconds later it suddenly fell from his face when something crossed his mind. The same thing that has been crossing his mind every single day without fail no matter what since it had happened and he couldn't help but begin to think about it. It always happens at random times like these and he hates it because it makes him feel horrible and guilty.
Ross stroked his back as he noticed the look upon his face "What's wrong?"
"What? Nothing. Why..?" Brad asked.
"Because you just went from smiles and laughs to miserable in the space of five seconds..."
Brad shook his head, forcing a smile on his face "No, no. I'm... I'm fine."
Ross raised his brow "Is that a lie?"
"No! Honestly, I'm fine," Brad said, getting up from Ross' lap "I'm gonna go in the shower and get ready for tonight."
Ross watched him as he went into the bathroom, waiting until he had shut the door and locked it before getting up and leaving the room to go find James, Tristan or Connor.
Riker and Connor were elsewhere in Sydney with Tyler and Matty as they had found a near by park and had gotten the boys ice cream like Riker had promised them for trying to take down Ross and Ellington. "How was England?" Riker asked as they walked along.
"It was good."
"Are you sure?" Riker asked, noticing the way Connor looked when he said it. He seemed sort of down and a little agitated.
"No, no, it was fine. It's just... I'm tired from flying still." Connor said, lying as he licked his ice cream and looked away from Riker to hide the look on his face as he sighed.
Riker furrowed his brow when Connor looked away as he noticed something on the side of Connor's neck "What's that?" Riker asked.
"What's what?"
"On your neck, you have a bruise." Riker said, pointing to it.
Connor put his hand on his neck in confusement and his eyes widened when a memory from a few weeks ago hit him "O-oh yeah um... that... er... I got hair straighteners thrown at me." Riker raised his brow, not believing him in the slightest, and Connor looked back at him where Riker continued to stare at him suspiciously until it broke Connor to tell the truth. "Alright, it's not a bruise." He said.
"Yeah, I kinda figured. I'm too good at knowing what hickies look like. Courtesy of your friend and his significant other that I call a brother," Riker said, Connor let out a soft laugh "so was it just a one-night stand type of thing?" He asked.
Connor shook his head "No," He said, shocking Riker to the point where he stopped walking "what?"
"Wait... So... you have a girlfriend?"
Connor nodded "Yeah, sorta. I mean, not right now because I don't want to be with someone who I can't see for a year. But she said she'd text and FaceTime me when she can and she already has about twice so far."
Riker stood in bafflement, trying to process this information through his brain "S-so... When you get back to England, are you going to get back with her?" he asked.
"More than likely."
"Is-is she aware of the situation you have with Rydel and them two?" Riker asked, pointing at Tyler and Matty who were in front of them.
Connor nodded "Oh, yeah, of course she is! And she's one hundred per cent supportive of it. She doesn't mind, she understands. She's sweet like that."
"Wh-what's her name?"
"Becky."
"Oh, Becky... Kinda rhymes with Rydelly." Riker said, muttering as he began walking again.
Connor furrowed his brow "What did you just say?"
"Oh, nothing. I'm er... I'm just surprised you have a girlfriend or a soon-to-be girlfriend."
"Why? Are you trying to say I'm incapable of having one?"
Riker shook his head "No, no! Not at al—yeah, basically." Riker said, walking off with Tyler and Matty in front.
Connor held out his arms in offence and confusement "How?!"
"Oh, you know how..." Riker mumbled.
Sally was putting her stuff as well as James' away in the drawers of their hotel room whilst James sat on the edge of the bed staring into space when there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Sally asked, calling.
"It's Ross."
"Ugh, go away."
"Hey! You're forgetting who paid half for you to come on this trip!"
"Yeah, and you're also forgetting who paid the other half." James said, from where he sat on the bed.
Ross rolled his eyes "Oh, whatever, can I come in? You're not doing the dirty are you?"
Sally mentally threw the suitcase that sat on the floor beside her through the door and at Ross' head as she walked over to let him in "No, we're not, Jesus, Ross," Sally opened up the door and let Ross in where she smiled sarcastically at him "we're saving it for later." She said, to whind him up.
Ross looked over at James "If she falls pregnant on this tour, I'm gonna kick your ass."
James looked up at Ross with than expression that told he was biting back a lot of comments to say to Ross but he couldn't due to certain circumstances "Mhm..."
"Anyway, what did you come here for?" Sally asked.
"I came to talk to James."
James stood up from the bed "What?"
Ross walked over to him "I was talking to Brad back in our room and he was happy. Smiling, laughing. Then BOOM. He looks like he just witnessed a puppy get run over by an oncoming train that was on fire. I know I should probably ignore it, but I feel like I can't... Is there something wrong with him?"
James froze on the spot, trying to think of something and come up with some sort of excuse. He shook his head "Er, n-no. Not that I know of. Why? How sad did he look?"
"Well, I wouldn't call it sad... He literally stopped laughing and stared out into space. I can't even describe the emotion, it was like sadness, numbness and guilt all wrapped into one. I asked him if anything was wrong but he said no and he said he was going in the shower almost like he was trying to avoid it. I don't know if I'm being paranoid or not. It's just... I don't know, I get worried easily when it comes to him lately and I don't know why."
James put his hand on Ross' shoulder for reassurement "It's alright, it's fine. He's fine. I promise. You're not being paranoid, it's natural for you to act that way. As long as you stay with him and keep doing what you're doing, he'll be fine. I promise."
Ross sighed "Alright. Thanks." He turned around and left the room to go back to his and Brad's.
After Ross left, James turned round to be greeted with a suspicious look from Sally. "Why are you looking at me like that?" James asked.
"Because you just lied through your two front teeth to Ross."
James raised his brow "And how would you know?"
"You stuttered at the beginning of the sentence and took a while to come up with an answer. If you weren't lying you would have come up with a response quicker and not stuttered," She said, making James stay silent "there is something isn't there..."
"No..."
"James McVey don't lie to me!"
James stayed silent as Sally continued to stare at him, making it feel as though she was staring deep into his soul which made him feel really uncomfortable. He tried to keep his mouth shut without saying a word but suddenly he burst as she managed to break him "Alright there is okay!"
"Well, what is it? I won't tell Ross, I promise. I will not let a word peep out of this mouth."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"Swear on your life?"
Sally rolled her eyes "I swear on my life I won't tell Ross. I swear on my little sisters life, I swear on my parents life, I swear on everyone's life! Heck, I even swear on Brad's! Now tell me."
James sighed "You remember three months ago, right? With the whole... Diner, Ross, Brad situation."
"Well, I was kinda there so..."
"Right, okay, so... You know how that story goes right? What happened before and what lead up to it from Ross' side of things, right?" James asked.
Sally nodded "Yes..."
James sat Sally down on the bed:
"Well let me tell you it from Brad's."

Hooray for flashbacks right? But it's what Sally reacts to best, right? :'')
