CHAPTER 25

*Brad's POV*

I miss her. I jumped to conclusions and blamed her for doing something I also did. Why am I such a hypocrite?

"Tallulah?" I said as I opened her front door. I want to be with her again. There are so many things I miss: her soft brown eyes; the way her hair never completely fitted in a ponytail; her petite body snuggling up to me; her soft luscious lips. Rather stupidly, I lost the girl I loved.

"TALLULAH!" I shouted as I saw her lifeless body on the floor. She didn't respond in anyway but her breaths were short. I lifted her and her head fell back. Tears rolled down my cheek and I ran out of the door, heading towards Tallulah's car.

"Just hold on okay." I told her before stepping on the accelerator and driving towards the hospital. The 3rd time this week.

"Is she okay doctor?" I asked, my hands trembling in fear. She sighed and my heart dropped.

"She's been strangled. You can tell by the red marks on her neck." She informed whilst pointing at Tallulah. She was hooked up on a life support machine, that meant she was barely able to cling on to life.

"She's what." I repeated, how could this happen? Who would do this? Only one person...Rebecca.

I stormed out of the hospital and to the hotel Brent & Rebecca were staying at. My knuckles pummelled against the wooden door and within seconds I heard a voice answer.

"Yes." Brent asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Where's Rebecca?" My nostrils flared and I kept my fists in my pocket to resist the urge to punch the hell out of Brent.

"She left to apologise to Tallulah." He smirked and I clenched my fists.

"Do you honestly fucking think a person like Rebecca would do that?" I scoffed. Brent's eyes widened at this realisation and opened his mouth but nothing came out.

"Tallulah's in hospital. Rebecca strangled the shit out of her and she might not make it. You're fucking excuse of a girlfriend almost killed the girl I...we love." I told Brent and he raked his hair.

"She's not my girlfriend." Brent shouted.

"What else would she be then hmm. You're staying in the same hotel in the same room." Let's see him try to wiggle his way through this one.

"I'm with her to protect Tallulah." Brent whispered.

"Well your plan must be pretty crap because guess what...Tallulah is dying."

*Tallulah's POV*

I shot up and inhaled sharply. My neck killed and I spluttered saliva. I couldn't stop coughing and I continuously wheezed. Beeps were all I could hear and white walls surrounded me. My jeans and T-shirt had disappeared and now I was wearing a hospital gown. My hand reached my neck and I felt bruises forming.

"She's awake." Voices whispered. I squinted at the light but managed to make out 2 figures. Flowers were placed behind me and cards were laid out beside each other.

"Hey." A familiar voice greeted. My eyebrows furrowed as I couldn't tell who it was. Can someone turn down the fricking lights?!

"Where am I?" I croaked out, my voice barely audible.

"Don't strain your voice!" Another voice ordered. I retrieved a whiteboard and pen and began writing.

"Where am I?" The person read out.

"Hospital. You almost died T."

I wrote on the board again: 'Brad is that you?'

"Yeah." He said scratching the back of his head.

'Who else'

"Brent, I'm here." A hand was lifted in the air then dropped back down.

'you guys didn't fight yay :) '

Brad laughed and smiled. He sat beside me and kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes as I reminisced his touch.

"Can we start over?" He asked. I kissed him and forced a smile. Brad bit his lip and blushed.

"The fans are trending #getwellsoontallulah right now". I looked down and sighed.

"What's wrong?" He questioned.

'I can't do this anymore'

"Do what anymore?" He probably knew the answer but didn't want to admit it.

'Us'

"Oh," he said, "ok"

'I'm sorry Brad I really am. I just don't think we can do this anymore. You yourself said that I look at Brent in ways you've never seen before. I love him.'

I turned to Brent to see him put up a smile and I returned it.

"No hard feelings." Brent said and Brad nodded.

"Sure, anyway there's plenty more fish in the sea." Brad shrugged and I frowned.

'Ashley'

"What about her?" Brad asked.

'She really likes you and I mean a lot. Brad have you not seen the way she looks at you. I mean since that 2nd time at the hospital, have you not seen her act the way she does when she's with you'

"Oh...my...gosh." Brad said, shocked.

'Exactly. If you take her to a 1D concert and let her meet Zayn, I assure you, she will love you'

Brad nodded and smiled.

"You're setting me up with your best friend after we just broke up. Brent, keep her. Or else you'll be hearing from me" Brad laughed whilst fist bumping Brent. He left and waved goodbye.

"Love me huh." Brent smirked as he sat beside me.

'Once you go Brent, you don't go back'

He laughed and I smiled. My head rested against his shoulder and he kissed the side of my head.

"I love you Tallulah Durley, to the moon." He whispered.

"I love YOU Brent Rivera to the moon and back." I croaked.
