"NOOOO!!! T-Tris w-why would James do that?!?!?!" The curly boy exclaims as the tears trickles from his eyes. Brad instantly wrapped his arms around Tristan, burrying his face to the blonde. "D-Dr. Clifford is my only hope!!! H-he's the key for my cure Tris!" The taller boy hugs Brad tight, hoping that his warmth could make smaller boy calm. "Because he's a fucking bastard baby! HE'S AN ANIMAL!" Tristan said whilst Brad grasps his oversized shirt. Tears of sorrow marked on Tris' shirt. The only person that can help Brad to beat the shit out of cancer is now dead because of James.

"W-wait babe, you mean to tell me that the Doctor of your friend Brad, was killed on the hospital's parking lot?" the small blonde boy asked to his girlfriend Celia while chewing some chips. "Unfortunately yes... That fucking asshole! Brad is only one step away from being cured. His brain operation with Dr. Clifford was supposed to be next week but then the suspect, James McVey killed him" Celia answered as he takes a bite on her steak. The couple is eating dinner on their small apartment when Connor suddenly confessed something. "Babe... I-I need to tell you something..." The small blonde's eyes turned into like a puppy. He's afraid how would Celia react if he tells her that he's the reason why Tris and Brad are together. Although it's not a bad thing, Connor is scared of what might Celia think of him by being a cupid to the couple.

"You know you've been telling me stories about Brad right? About how you care for him, about how he tells you everything that is happening in school? About his cancer and his heartbreaks?" Connor's heart picks up the beat.

"Yeah Con, why? What did you do?"

"I-I might have been a cupid for Tristan and Brad..."

"WHAT?" Celia's eyes wrinkled in shock as she leans to Connor.

"I-I pushed Tristan for Brad... I saw him waiting outside the curly's house once when Brad had his attack again. He waited there all night! I can feel that he likes the little boy so afterwards I-I provoked him to confess his feelings for Brad. I saw it in his eyes Celia, he was in love with the little boy! Bradley deserves to be happy despite his shitty past relationships. He deserves Tristan in his life"

"Wait so did it work? I mean did Tristan confess to Brad?"

"Yep! Now they're boyfriends. Are you really his friend? You should know his more than I do!" Connor smirked, proudly thinking that he's a love expert.

"I haven't talked to him since the Christmas break! Well I can't blame him for falling for that Tristan kid... He's handsome as hell!"

Brad managed to calm down after knowing that his Doctor died. Dr. Cliford's secretary texted Brad's mum. She said to come by his office first thing tomorrow morning. The curly doesn't know what or why but one thing is in his mind... How can he be cured? How can he battle out his cancer if his only Doctor is now dead? "Love, please take some rest... We'll be going to Dr. Clifford's office first thing tomorrow morning. Clear your mind and don't stress yourself okay? James will be caught. I promise" Tristan tells the smaller boy who's lying on his bed. The blonde turns off the lamp on the nighstand as he kisses Brad's forehead.

The calm sun popped out, rays of warm sunlight bleeds to Brad's tiny window on his room. Tristan stared at his boyfriend before waking him up. "You're so beautiful" the blonde whispers. He admires how the curly's hair is so soft, how his lips are in a shade of bright red and how his cheeks are pinkish white. "Baby... Wake up... We have to go to Dr. Clifford's office" the brummie pulled himself out of the bed and pecked a kiss on the blonde's lips. Ms. Simpson, Tristan and Brad arrived on the hospital. Police and investigators are scattered all over the place. They went up to the office of the late Dr. Clifford. His secretary greets them, forcing a smile on her face. "Our deepest condolences..." Tristan said with sympathy. The secretary opens the door of Dr. Clifford's room. The curly was used to seeing his Doctor, sitting on his desk as he read through Brad's medical files. But now he's not there... Instead, a tall man wearing a lab gown with a black shirt underneath it smiled to them. "Hello Brad... I-I'm Dr. Riley Wilson... I'm a neurologist. Dr. Clifford was a classmate of mine back in med school. He's also my very best friend..." the young Doctor held out his hand to the curly, his face started to fall down a little, thinking how his best friend his now dead. Tanned skin, mesmerizing eyes, tall built. Brad was shocked that the guy is a Doctor, he is so good looking. The brummie shakes the hand of the Doctor, forcing a smile on his face. "Dr. Clifford was a very good Doctor to me... My operation was supposed to be next week..." Brad's orbs are starting to be jammed by tears as he narrates. "I-I thought that I am one step ahead on being cancer free... But th-" Tristan immediately hugs Brad and let the curly boy cry on his chest. Brad's tiny fingers are grasping Tris' garment as he sobs harder to the thought of losing his only chance on battling with his ill. "That's what I'm here for Brad... Since you were diagnosed with cancer two years ago, he's been contacting me on a regular basis about your case. He would seek for my medical opinions and perspectives. I've been in your journey Brad... All these years... And I'm so glad to finally meeting you" the attractive Doctor explains as Brad pulls out from Tris. "He asked me to be a part of the medical team he built for you. Then a tragic thing happened to him... But you know what? I've kept a promise to him... I said to him that I will help with my full extent to get you cured Brad. I know I can't let my bestfriend down... We will get you cancer free Brad!" The curly's mouth started to widen as his eyes light up. He signs hope... "We will push through with your surgery next week. I've read your medical files and your medical histories. I can't let you and Dr. Clifford down. WE WILL BEAT THIS CANCER!" Dr. Riley exclaimed with a big smile on his face. He hugs Brad, giving back the hope he deserves. All things are going well until the curly boy's phone started to ring.

"Hey baby, it's been a while isn't? I've missed you so fucking much.... You didn't tell me that you have a cancer?? That's sad you wouldn't be able to be cured anymore... That skank Doctor deserves to die for failing to cure your cancer... He's not good Doctor" A familiar voice spoke up. His husky and evil tone lingers on Brad's ear.

"Might as well fuck you so hard before you die Brad... Meet me today. I'll text you an address... I want you inside of me. Oh, and just incase you're planning to tell the police, I'm just lurking around... Following your shadow. You don't want your boyfriend Tris to be the next dead body on the hospital's parking lot do you?" James lets out a loud devilish laugh as he hangs up the phone.

Brad's knees trembled, his spine shivers as tears cascade on his eyes. "BRAD?!! WHY?" Tristan bent down and asked the little boy. "J-James... He said he wants to see me... He's following us" The smaller boy sobs. Tristan's face started to head up to a shade of red. He picked up Brad and grabbed the smaller boy's wrist and went outside the office. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS BASTARD. LET'S GO BRAD, WE'LL GET YOU TO SOMEWHERE YOU'LL BE SAFE" Tristan said as they walk fastly into the hallway. "WAIT! TRISTAN! BRAD!" Ms. Simpson shouted, trying to stop the two. The blonde together with Brad reached the hospital's parking lot. Surrounded with police and investigators.

"TRIS! WHERE ARE WE GOING? I-I'M SCARED..." Brad holds his boyfriend's hand tighter as his tears start to drop.

"TO SOMEWHERE SAFE BABY...DON'T WOR-"

A loud gunshot echoes over the airwaves...
