Brogan was stood outside the building; hands trembling, heart racing. She leaned the back of her head against the brick wall, and she exhaled deeply.
"Deep breaths, deep breaths." She whispered to herself.
"Surely y' can't be that nervous." She heard someone say in front of her.
Brogan snorted out a laugh, and she looked up, and her face fell,
"Oh my-"
Adam smiled at her,
"Hiya."
"H-Hi!" She swallowed slowly, and Adam smiled bigger, opening his arms out. Brogan instantly jumped into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Wha-What're y' doin' here?" Brogan asked, once the two pulled away.
Adam smiled at her, and he shrugged slightly, stuffing his hands into his jeans pockets,
"On me way back down to London, but ah went t' see me mam an' dad for the weekend." He smiled at her.
Brogan swallowed slowly and she nodded, smiling,
"Oh, I see." She could feel her cheeks burning.
"So, I thought I'd drop by, since ah saw y' tweet, an' ah thought ah'd wish y' good luck." He raised his eyebrows slightly at her. "Although, ah don't think y' really need it." He told her.
Brogan rolled her eyes playfully at him, smiling,
"Well… thanks." She replied, and then she tilted her head to the right, as she looked at him. "Seriously though, thank you. if it wasn't for you retweeting that BFI post, I would've never have seen it, an' thought of applying."
He shrugged,
"No problem." He smiled. "What time's ya interview?" He asked, licking his lips.
"Uhhhhh…" Brogan looked down at her phone, and her eyes widened. "Ten minutes." She started to fidget, as she thought about the interview.
Adam let out a laugh, and then he placed his hands on her shoulders,
"It's okay." He reassured her. "Deep breaths."
Brogan swallowed thickly, and she nodded, giving him a tight smile. She then looked down at the ground, where there feet were, and she exhaled deeply.
Adam let out another laugh, and he pulled Brogan into a tight hug, rubbing her back comfortingly,
"You're gonna be great." He murmured, as Brogan wrapped her arms around him.
She smiled to herself, and she couldn't help but feel calmer, even though her nerves were all over.
Adam pulled out of the hug, and he brushed her away from her face,
"Now. You go in there, an' blow 'em away, yeah?" Brogan smiled sheepishly and she nodded, and he smiled back at her. "Ah'll be in there." Adam nodded at the café across the road. "Come an' meet me there."
Brogan bit her bottom lip,
"Y'sure?" She asked.
Adam nodded,
"Yeah, course." He nodded towards the entrance. "Off y' go."
Brogan took a deep breath,
"Okay." She smiled. "See ya." She walked inside, and stopped at the doors, turning and waving at Adam, who waved back at her.
"Hi, darl. How was it?" Brogan's mum asked, as she answered the call.
Brogan took a deep breath,
"I don't wanna jinx it, but ah think it went alright." She admitted, as she walked through the reception.
"What kind of questions did they ask you?"
"Just stuff like, what I've been doin' in the past, and why I'm interested in the course."
"So you think it went well?"
Brogan nodded to herself,
"Yeah, I think so." She pushed open the doors and she walked outside.
"Oh that's good to hear."
As her mum replied, Brogan looked over at the café, and she looked closely, to see that Adam was still sitting there waiting for her. He looked out of the window, and once he spotted her, he smiled and waved. Brogan smiled and waved back,
"Yeah it is. Look, I gotta go, yeah? I'll call y' later on."
"Alright, darl. Love you."
"Love you, too." Brogan breathed out, before she ended the call, and she slid her phone into her coat pocket.
She shivered slightly at the cold air, and she walked to the edge of the path, before she stopped, and looked left and right. She then crossed the street, and walked into the café, and straight over to where Adam was sitting.
"Well?" He asked, standing up.
Brogan smiled and nodded, setting her bag on one of the seats,
"It went alright." She replied.
Adam chuckled, and he walked round the table, giving her a hug,
"Told y' it wouldn't be too bad, din't I?"
As he pulled out the hug, Brogan rolled her eyes playfully,
"Yeah, yeah." She replied, and the two laughed, as Brogan unzipped her coat, and she placed it on the seat beside her, as she sat down.
"You really didn't have to wait around, y'know? I mean, you've gotta head down to London."
Adam nodded,
"I know." He smiled. "Honestly, it's fine. Ah'm not doin' ought today, except from drivin' down there. Might as well kill time." He shrugged slightly, before he lifted his mug, and finished the cup of tea. "Y' want a drink?" He asked.
"It's alright, ah'll get it." Brogan said, shaking her head.
"Nah, seriously. Ah'll get it." Adam told, standing up. "What d'ya want?"
Brogan sighed slightly,
"Tea, please."
"Milk?"
Brogan nodded,
"Yeah, please. Ah like it milky."
"Sugar?"
"Three." Brogan smiled at him.
Adam smiled back and he walked away.
Brogan watched him walk away, and then she stared at the chair where he was sitting. Her mind was filled with so many questions, and the main question, was why? Why did he decide to stop at Newcastle and see her? What was the big deal with her being there? It couldn't just be a coincidence... Right?
Adam came back a few minutes later, and Brogan was staring out of the café window, looking out at where she had just been. She was beginning to fret about the interview.
"Stop worryin'." Adam told her, setting the two mugs down in front of them.
Brogan jumped slightly and she looked at him, smiling sheepishly, before she held her mug in her hands.
"Sorry." She apologised.
He shook his head,
"No need." Adam took a sip of his tea, and then he leaned back in his chair. "So when d'ya go 'ome?" He asked.
Brogan checked her phone,
"An hour an' a half."
He nodded,
"Not too bad then."
She smiled at him,
"You excited for filmin' then?"
Adam nodded enthusiastically,
"Always am, me."
Brogan let out a laugh,
"Awe."
He rolled his eyes playfully, smiling at her, and Brogan took a sip of her tea.
Brogan checked her phone,
"Guess I best be goin'." She told him, already feeling disappointed at the thought of leaving Adam so soon.
Adam nodded, sanding his hands together, as Brogan shrugged on her coat,
"Ah'll drive ya to the train station."
She looked at him, furrowing her eyebrows together,
"Honestly, y' don't 'ave to. It's fine."
"I insist." He replied, and the two stood up and walked out of the café; Brogan shivering at the coldness.
"Fuckin' hell." She mumbled to herself, stuffing her hands into her coat pockets.
Adam stuffed his hands into his coat pockets, and he looked down at Brogan,
"Y' definitely make sure y' tell me what they say, yeah? Y' did say you would."
Brogan blushed slightly, and she smiled up at him, nodding,
"Course ah will."
"Good." He smiled at her.
The two arrived at Adam's car. He unlocked the doors, and they both climbed in. Fastening their seatbelts, Adam started the engine and he started to drive.
"I can't believe you actually decided to come an' wish me good luck today." Brogan admitted, letting out a laugh.
"What can ah say?" Adam said, as he turned left at a junction. "You came t' Manchester for the event."
"Yeah, but that's different." She reminded him, looking over at him.
Adam glanced at her,
"How is it?" He asked, looking back at the road.
"Well for a start, there were loads of other people there." Brogan pointed out.
"Mm, true." He replied, slowing down at a red traffic light, and then he looked at Brogan. "But you were the only one I private messaged on twitter, sayin' ah wa' goin'. What does that tell ya?"
The light turned green and Adam set off, as Brogan furrowed her eyebrows together in confusion, staring at the side of his face, as he drove.
What did he mean? She wondered to herself.
Adam parked up at the train station, and he turned off the engine. Brogan unbuckled her seatbelt, as Adam turned to her, the two of them smiling to one another.
"Thanks for the ride." Brogan said softly.
Adam shook his head slightly,
"No problem, Brogan. It wa' nice t' see ya."
She blushed slightly and she smiled, nodding at him,
"You too."
Brogan looked out of the window, and then she glanced at the clock on the dashboard,
"Ah best get goin' then." She told him.
Adam nodded and he leaned over, the two of them hugging each other. Adam kissed Brogan's cheek softly,
"See y' later."
Brogan smiled big at Adam,
"Bye." She replied, before climbing out of the car and closing the door behind him. As she walked into the train station, she turned and waved at Adam one last time, before he drove off. When Brogan was inside, she got out her phone, and she phoned her mum, ready to tell her everything.
