In love with my brother's bestfriend

Chapter 4

Happy Easter!

Seth POV

I woke up, I didn't know what time it was bit it didn't matter to me, I heard a gentle snore from beside me and I looked to see Crystal asleep in my arms, a smile creeper onto my face and I kissed her cheek and I got up trying not to wake her up. I came out of her room and her brother's door opened and Adam, I think? Was standing there and he had a small smile on his face.

"Do you want to hang out?" He asked and I smiled slightly.

"Is that Ash guy here still?" I asked as I couldn't get a view into his room and Adam laughed and shook his head.

"I made him go home ages ago, anyway I want to get to know my sister's boyfriend who knows we could become best friends" Adam said and I nodded still having the smile on my face. I've never had permanent friend before and I am willing to have one now.

"Yeah that would be cool" I said and he let me into his room and I sat on the arm chair that was facing the television, he was playing Grand Theft Auto V and I smiled as I loved this game.

"Can I have a go?" I asked and he nodded throwing the controller my way and I caught it and I got off the paused menu and started playing.

"So how did you even get close to my sister?"Adam asked and a small smile was on my face.

"Well to be honest at the camp we were put into groups and of course I was with your sister, we had some nasty girls in our group and when she was getting picked on I stood up for her, she didn't deserve it she was already crying every night and just one day I snapped and shouted at them, fed up of treating her like shit" I said and I sighed, that was the most roughest time she went through. She tried to commit suicide while she was There and seeing her do that in front of me I broke down but I saved her, no one gave a damn but I did she was the only person I had there.

"Well thanks, you stood up for her when I didn't, Ashton bullied Crystal and I let it happen, I thought he was joking and she held herself pretty well against him. That's what I thought till I read her diary a few weeks into her leaving. She wrote how she was being constantly bullied at school and when she thought home was safe for her when she got home Ashton carried it on and I never saw it. I wanted to break his neck but we've been best friends since we were little and I didn't want to loose that but I am so damn stupid" He said punching a hole in the wall and I put the controller down and I put my hand on his shoulder.

"It's not your fault. He's an asshole and you can have a better friend than that, I'll make you a promise the minute he steps into this door I'll punch him square in the face for everything he's done to you and Crystal" I said pointing to his bedroom door and Adam looked t me he had resentment and regret in his eyes and the next thing he did stunned me. He pulled me in for a bear hug and I returned it and we broke apart.

"Adam seriously.. That jerk is literally not the right guy for either you or Crystal" I said and he nodded and sat on the bed and he bit his thumb like he was nervous.

"Seth I need you to keep a secret for me and not tell Crystal no matter what" Adam said like it would be the last day he lived or something and I nodded showing my understanding.

"Ashton's got me into something bad, Seth, so bad that if I do something wrong I could loose the right to live in a matter of seconds and I instantly knew what he was talking about because, I've been in the same situation.

"Adam... I know how you feel I was in the same predicament. Get out while you still have time before something bad happens, trust me I ended up losing my best friend to drug dealing because he wanted to stop but couldn't he was too frightened and one day after selling everything he needed to sell he told them he quits he wants to stop dealing. It got bad, they laughed and said they weren't going to let him go, he tried to walk away but they pulled out knives and baseball bats and they beat him to death" I said quietly my voice was hoarse. I trembled remembering how he suffered and I stood there and done nothing because I was scared.
