Wow... Never saw that coming

 One morning Bradley and I were texting about Owen then the conversation took a quick turn to how Bradley wanted his family back. He said he had watched the movie Heaven is for real and he had a dream that him, Owen and myself were a family again and we were in church living right. He said it was like God was telling him to quit being stubborn and stupid and to get his family back. What do you say that?? I remember my exact words were "I don't know what to say, you have a girlfriend!!" and he said " And would I drop her for my family? in the blink of an eye!!" How could I believe a word this man was saying? How could I ever trust him again? We talked a lot the next few days about what he wanted. I didn't know what I wanted. It all seemed nice and would be great if it could actually work out, but could it?? Bradley wanted to meet up and talk, for two days I made no plans but to wait around and talk to Bradley. We never met up. He had every excuse to why we didn't. I didn't know if I wanted to believe his excuses... He was still dating his girlfriend so in my mind I believed he was trying to two time us both. The third day came around when we were supposed to meet up, it was a Saturday so surely we would be able to meet up. I remember him texting me telling me he was going to take a nap and then he would come over and talk to me and see Owen. About two hours later I text him, no reply. I called him a few times.... no answer. I even looked on SnapChat (because we were friends on there) he was no longer listed as my friends... something was up and I knew what was going on. I called one of my close friends and asked her to ride by Bradley's house with me... I just had to know if he was with his girlfriend. We rode by his house but no sign of either one of them. In the past when I had met up with Bradley's girlfriend she told me if I ever needed her I could text her.. So that's what I did! I sent her a text asking if she was with Bradley and if she was to have him call me. She replied right back and said she was and that he would call me in a few minutes. I was furious!! How could he do this to me? I was fine without him and then he does this to me!! My phone started ringing, it was Bradley!! I remember answering and then asking him if he was going to tell his girlfriend about me or was I? He told me he was going to tell her that night and for me to calm down. I ended up hanging up on him because I was so mad. After hanging up all I could think about was if he wasn't going to tell her about me then I was... I had saved all the text messages from Bradley talking about him wanting his family back and etc. I remember asking my friend "Do I send them to her or not?" I finally decided that I was going to send some to her. Within minutes she text me back saying "thanks" I replied back saying  " You're welcome.. I know how it feels, been there done that". A few minutes later Bradley was calling me saying she had stormed off and he was wanting to know where I was because he wanted to come talk to me. I told him I was done.. to go after her, she was young and would bounce back quicker than I would. He kept telling me no and that he didn't want her he wanted me. Long story short he ended up showing up where I was and we talked ( It was mainly him talking). We left that night not knowing what was going to happen with us.  I'll never know if he was really going to tell his girlfriend that night about how he wanted his family back, but I am glad that I sent her those messages.
