Time Is Not On Our Side - Bradley Simpson

Chapter 14: You can tell us the truth

"It wasn't an accident ... Someone sabotaged Brad's car brakes.

- Is that a joke Tris? I asked him

- No. It's the only thing I could see in Brad's car, the brake pedal was in bad shape ...

- Why did you go to see Brad's car?

- Because I wanted to get Brad's things after the accident. He answered me

- And how come you were there right after the accident? I asked

- Why all these questions Li? He frowned

- I don't know ... But Brad told me that you had an argument this morning and now someone is sabotaging his brakes ...

-Are you serious ?! Do you really think I did this ?! He got angry. Brad is my best friend! Besides, I'm not a psychopath!

- Sorry ... It's just that I worry about him and it makes me lose my mind ... I admitted, ashamed. But who could want to hurt him ...?

- The celebrity world is unforgiving, anyone could have done that ...

- Yeah ... I'm sorry for accusing you ... I told him and he came to hug me

- I'm going back inside. You come ? He held out his hand to me

- No, I'm going to stay another few seconds. I answered and he nodded before heading back to the hospital. "

I let out a few tears, I was worried about B. How can this world be so cruel? Brad is the nicest person I know. No one has the right to want to hurt him like that. I need to find out who did this.

After a few seconds of thinking, I decided to go back inside to see if Brad was okay. I got in front of my best friend's room and saw that everyone else was in the room with him and he was awake.

I put my hand on the doorknob and as I was about to open the door, I saw a figure that caught my eye in the hallway. So I let go of the handle before walking slowly towards this person. He was sitting in a corner with papers in his hands. I finally got to him when he still hadn't seen me.

"Ethan? I asked surprised as he looked up at me, panicked

- Lily? He asked me, frowning

- What are you doing here? I asked before I put my eyes on the paper he was reading and saw the name of my best friend on it. And what are you doing with Brad's medical records in your hands ?! I frowned.

- Shhh! He stood up and put his finger on my lips to make me understand that I had to be quiet.

- Are you going to explain to me what's going on? I told him whispering.

- I stole this file so I could find out what happened to Brad! I know the hospitals and I knew they weren't going to tell you anything yet so I figured I was going to steal him to tell you what happened to him. He confessed to me. I thought it might reassure you ... He lowered his head

- Apparently his car brakes were sabotaged ... I said then that he swallowed hard. Yeah I know ... it's horrible ...

- Yeah ...

- Finish reading this file in case there are other interesting things in it and then put it back where you found it okay? I told him

- I promise. He gave me a thin smile
