BRAD'S POV

I went downstairs with happiness, for the first time in months, my spirits soared. I haven't tell Connor and James about me and Tris's relationship yet. Apparently, he wants to keep a low key about it, but I don't really mind.

James came to pick me up to school, along with Connor by his side. I waved goodbye to my mum and jumped into the car. It was a Volvo XC70, his father's old car.

"Guys, I've got something to say" I said with excitement, "Just promise don't judge me before I finish."

They both nodded in agreement.

"I am with Tristan Evans now.."

"WHAT!" They shouted with one accord, again. I knew they would interrupt me, they do this all the time!

"Just let me finish please, you promised!" Silence filled the whole car, "Um.. Do you still remember the notepaper, Connor?"

"Oh hell yeah, the notepaper! You said you rather die than show it to your best mate! I remember this one!" James interrupted me, once again. I gave him a glare, he mouthed a "sorry", and finally, there was only silence. I wasn't surprised that he knew about the notepaper, since Connor tells him everything.

"Well, it was from Tristan. He asked me to meet him in the parking lot." I continued, "And I went there. We...we kissed...accidentally."

"WHATTTTTT!!!!" Again, they are just like twins, why they are always so in sync?

"Please, I beg you guys, let me finish." I said with my puppy eyes, I was done with that, it was so annoying, as they fell silent, I continued, "Then, after expressing our real thoughts about each other, we forged a new relationship. But he still cares about what others think, so..we can't do those flirty things in public. By the way, you guys won't tell others about this, right?"

"Of course." Connor said wrapping a arm around my neck.

"Yeah, you can totally trust us." James smiled, while trying to put a hand on my shoulder to show his support.

"James Daniel McVey! Watch out when you are driving!"

I was on my way to the library, I only had an hour left to visit it. As I hurried there, I stopped when I noticed a familiar blonde face was just a few inches away. I know I shouldn't come up and greet him, since he doesn't want anyone to know about our little secret. I just stood there, drowning myself in his beautiful blue eyes.

He didn't really see me. He was chatting with his friends, and occasionally laughed at their words. He seemed so happy, his smile really did make my boring school day bright.

But suddenly, I was pulled away from my thoughts by feeling somebody shook my shoudler lightly. I turned around to find a confused Connor.

"Why were you smiling to yourself? It was so weird." He asked, and turned around to see what I was staring at, then he figured out. He smirked, "No wonder you were so fascinated, staring at your secret boyfriend?" He sinked his voice to a whisper when he said the last sentence. 

I blushed unconsciously, but he was right.

I punched him playfully, then turned around. But soon, I regreted. The next scene hurt my heart.

Tristan was kissing a sexy girl with heavy make-up. I guess she was Anastasia, Tristan's grilfriend.

"Hey, are you ok?" Connor asked me quietly, I was conscious of being very near to tears, but I nodded and faked a smile. Then I rushed out of the door.

I kept running, feeling my tears streaming down, they blurred my vision. I don't know where I was going, and I don't give damn about it. I just want to find somewhere quiet.

I'm so tired of all of this, I was abandoned, again. 

My heart was bleeding.
