Time Is Not On Our Side - Bradley Simpson

Chapter 18: You're a monster

!!!! WARNING : some scenes may shock you. I promise you that the chapter is not that horrible but I prefer to warn in case !!!!

Brad's POV

Lily had just left and I'm not going to hide the fact that I was scared. This guy is capable of the worst. I saw it in his eyes the day he knocked on my door. But what can I do? If I tell Lily, he'll hurt her and if I go to the police, they might not believe me.

Why didn't he tell her where they were going ?! I hate it, and I hate it all the more being helpless in the face of it all.

I didn't tell her for keeping her safe, but was it the best thing to do? I don't trust that guy and I can't be sure he won't hurt her like he told me

"Brad? Do you want to eat something ? Tris asked me when entering my room

- No, I'm not hungry. I answered

- What? Is it because Lily left for the weekend?

- Yes. I vaguely told him

- Brad, I don't understand why you don't trust this guy. He blew as he came to sit on a chair in front of me

- There are things you don't know.

- So tell me. You know you can trust me. I thought for a few seconds before weighing the pros and cons

- Fine. He was the one who sabotaged the brakes on my car. I confessed to him and he frowned. And he was the one who attacked me a month ago.

- You sure about that ? He asked me, still frowning.

- Yes, he admitted it and he told me that if I talked about it he would hurt Lily ...

- Man, this story is crazy, you have to go see the police! For your own good and for Lily! He told me, shocked

- I know but nobody will believe me ... I remind you that it is marked that I was drunk when I had my car accident

- What do you know about this guy? He asked me, thinking

- Absolutely nothing. I answered

- So start with that, go online. He suggested to me

- Yeah ...

- I'm going to get a drink, I'm coming back. He told me before leaving the room. "

So I hurried to take my MacBook before typing Ethan Cooper in the search bar. There were several articles with big headlines, words that scared the shit of me. It was then that I regretted not having done this earlier. I got up from the bed, shaking.

"- Tris! Hurry! I screamed, panicked

- What? He asked me while he arrived breathless in my room

- We have to go see the police! I shouted out of breath, the stress taking control of my body. Ethan is a fucking ... "

Lily's POV:

"You are a former prisoner ... I murmured, tears rushing down my cheeks.

- Oh come on Lily, you can read better than that! What have I done?

- "Ethan Cooper, the youngest serial killer in Scotland. At only 15 years old, it is established that he has a nervousness disorder. He killed his sister after a simple argument, but the matter was quickly silenced. I was reading the article, my voice trembling. It was not until 2 years later that he murdered three of his classmates, claiming that they had disrespected him. He managed to escape, creating a climate of fear throughout the south of Scotland. But a few months later, he unfortunately made one last victim, an 11-year-old girl whom he raped before brutally murdering her. Tears ran down my cheeks, I was terrified. Ethan Cooper is this time arrested by the police. The young man of only 17 was tried and imprisoned for a minimum of 7 years. "
