I'd Lie

Chapter 20- Adri

Chase's P.O.V.

I got into my car after Nicole left to meet Adri. She had told me how someone broke in her house, but didn't steal anything. For some reason, I didn't tell her that I suspected it was Adri. 

Nicole has seemed off these past few days and I felt off too. Adri was constantly in my mind and the kisses I gave Nicole seemed empty. Something was up and I couldn't seem to shake the feeling off.

The road up ahead was surrounded with an ambulance, firetrucks and cop cars. A car was flipped and the paramedics and firefighters were trying to help whoever was stuck, out. Then I zeroed in the car. It was too familiar.

My stomach churned and my body froze in fear. I hit the brakes and jumped off the car, running towards the horrific scene.

"No, no, no, no. Adri!" I cried. "Oh God, no." I didn't realize I was crying until a police officer told me to calm down and back up.

"Do you know this person?" He asked.

"Yes, I do. Adri! Fucking shit! Why?!" My cries were useless to her. The hard beating in my chest hurt more and more. My lungs were burning and I didn't know how to stop this pain. 

They had finally pulled her out and it hurt to see her like that. Blood was everywhere. Her arm was twisted in an awkward angle and glass coated her everywhere. 

"What is your relationship with the victim?" He asked. I wanted to punch him in the face. I ran my hands down my wet face, through my hair, but nothing calmed me down. 

"I'm her-"

Best friend? No. I stopped being that when I turned into an asshole. When I started ignoring her, pushing her to the side because of... Nicole. As much as I wanted to blame anyone else for this, it was all my fault.

"Look, kid. You can meet her at the hospital," he gruffly said before walking away. The paramedics lifted her up into the ambulance before shutting both doors. The police were asking questions and a lady who had been a witnessed said it was a hit and run.

Someone tried to murder Adri? I got back into my abandoned car and headed straight after her. My phone buzzed and I glance down to see the screen.

Nicole

Fuck Nicole. I declined the call and focused on the person who I should have been with all this time. It was late, too late for me, but I prayed to God it wasn't too late for her.
