I'd Lie

Chapter 22- Journals and Nicole

Chase's P.O.V.

Three days had gone by and Adri was still unresponsive to the medication. Only Adri's parents and I stayed over night, Nicole and my parents came by day. No one talked and no one moved. The elevator dinged and George came in, worry written all over his face. He came up to where I was and sat down.

"Anything new?" He asked. I shook my head. 

"Did you just hear what happened?" I asked. 

"No. I was away on a small trip before Adri's accident. Didn't get home until only two hours ago," He answered. Nicole stirred next to me and I readjusted her head. George looked cautiously at her before moving a seat away. 

"She won't bite," I snapped. 

"That's what you think," he shot back.

"Excuse me?" I was ready sock him in the face. He looked at her and then mouthed to me that he wanted to talk privately. He got up and walked down the hall, with me in tow. 

When he found a place far enough, he took something out from his back. What the hell? "This is Nicole's journal. A few days before the incident, Adri and I snuck in Nicole's house. She found this, it's full of Nicole's secrets, dude. Take a look." he shoved it in my hands. I didn't want to open it.

"Are you kidding me? Not only did you sneak into my girlfriend's house, but you stole something from her?" He rolled his eyes. 

"I'm pretty sure you'll mean 'ex' by the time you take a look. But no, dude, that's a copy. Adri was smart enough and made a copy of it and gave it to me for safekeeping. Correct me if I'm wrong, but she wanted to talk to you about something, but obviously didn't get to right? Well there it is," he crossed his arms and I hesitantly opened the journal.

I flipped it open to the pages with bookmarks and read it. This was Nicole's handwriting. My mouth dropped open in shock at what was written on it. "No, this can't be happening. Holy shit," I ran my hand down my face.

"Yup, she's been hating on Adri and I think that- maybe I'm wrong, but- it's just a feeling"

"Spit it out!"

He looked at me dead in the eye, "I think Nicole caused the accident."

"Chase?" I snapped my head around to see Nicole herself.
