Time Is Not On Our Side - Bradley Simpson

Chapter 10: This guy is toxic

Brad's POV:

I was walking around the apartment, I felt helpless, what could I do? She didn't answer me and I didn't know where Ethan lived. Should I call the police? It had been 3 hours since she was supposed to be there because it was now 9 pm.

And it was finally a few minutes later that I heard the apartment door open. I ran to finally see my best friend who was struggling to enter the apartment. I quickly approached her before taking her in my arms to hug her as hard as I could

"- Fuck Lily, you scared the shit of me! I was in a panic when I found out you didn't go to Con's! I told her, reassured to finally have her near me

- I know, sorry ... She said calmly

- Can I know why you come home so late? I asked her when I finally let go of her before she went to sit on the sofa and that's when I noticed that she was wearing a t-shirt that didn't belong to her

- I...

- I really hope you have a good excuse for not having warned me. And sex is definitely not a good excuse. I told her raising my eyebrows

- Well, I came to Ethan's to pick up my phone and he offered me a drink. So we stayed on the couch for a few minutes chatting and drinking. And suddenly I felt really weak and after that I have no memory of what happened ... She confessed to me

- What? I told her, amazed. Did you go to a doctor? It may be serious!

- No, I woke up in a bed, in my underwear... I was panicked and it was then that Ethan entered the room, he told me that he had allowed himself to undress me because my dress was dirty...

- What did you just say ?! Did he undress you without your consent ?! I got up from the sofa

- Yeah...

- I'm going to kill him for that. I told her very seriously. He has no right to do this and even less when you are unconscious.

- But it was to help me ... She tried to argue

- C'mon Li! Why would your dress be dirty ?! I told her while I took my head in my hands

- I don't know ... He said I felt so bad that I threw up on myself ...

- Bullshit, this story is weird.

- Anyway, I finally decided to go back alone, and since then I have a terrible headache

- He was not allowed to do that. I said, feeling anger rising in me

- It's nothing Brad ...

- Nothing ?! Damn Lily he undressed you when you were unconscious! Who knows if he didn't rape you! This guy is fucking fishy! I clenched my fists

- You're saying nonsense ! Ethan is nice! She defended him and it annoyed me even more

- You're completely blind! It is not normal to be in your underwear in a bed without remembering how you ended up there!

- Are you a rapist? She asked me very calmly

- Of course not!

- So why when we go in a party and we drink, I find myself the next day in my underwear in your bed without any memories? You undress me without my consent. Maybe you rape me at night without my knowing it. She said to me while I stared at her, shocked
