Time Is Not On Our Side - Bradley Simpson

Chapter 17: He was so aggressive...

I spent a little more time with Brad after Ethan was gone. I'm very grateful to him because he didn't talk to me again about the fact that we almost kissed. He avoids the subject as much as I do and it relieves me because I wouldn't have had the strength to have a conversation about it. We've been best friends for years and that's how it is. It cannot change.

Anyway, I was completely confused by what I had just seen. How did Ethan's sunglasses get to Brad's place? He never came here!

For a few seconds, the idea that B stole from him crossed my mind, but if that were the case, Ethan wouldn't just had took his glasses off and leave. He would have caused a scandal. So what were they doing in this apartment ?!

There is something strange in this story and I want to know what's going on. I know Brad is hiding something from me about his assault but I don't want to force him to tell me about it, I know he's weak and he just wants me to leave him alone

But I know I couldn't sleep until I figured it out. So I went to the living room where Brad had joined Tristan and I stood in front of them

"- What's going on Li? Asked my best friend

- I need to have a conversation with Ethan tonight, I might come home late. I told them

- Are you sure you don't want to wait until tomorrow? It's already nighttime. Added Tristan

- No, I really need to talk to him ...

- Is everything okay between you two? Brad asked me, strangely

- Yes don't worry. I smiled at him

- Okay...

- Tris? Take care of my best friend until I get back. I added before leaving the apartment "

I drove quickly to Ethan's house, I had so many questions jostling in my head and I wanted answers, real answers.

I arrived a few minutes later outside my boyfriend's door. The latter opened me with a big smile before calming down when he saw my upset head.

"- I have a few questions for you. I told him when I entered

- Oh okay, would you like to drink something before? He proposed to me

- No thanks. I answered before sitting on the sofa, quickly joined by Ethan

- So what do you want to talk to me about? Weren't you supposed to stay with Brad tonight?

- Yes, but I noticed two or three things that disturbed me and I want answers

- Go ahead, don't beat around the bush and ask me

- Ok ... I don't want you to get upset because you think I'm accusing you of something okay? I'm sure there's a good reason for this. I whispered, stressed

- For the 3rd time Lily, tell me what's going on. He was starting to lose patience

- Earlier I found sunglasses at Brad's that looked like yours. I put them on a piece of furniture thinking that it was not yours but when you left Brad's appartment an hour ago, you had these glasses and they were no longer on the piece of furniture. So I find it all weird because you've never been to his place before ...

- And so ?

- What were they doing there ...?

- I don't know Lily, maybe your wonderful best friend took them from me. He replied, angry
