Tristan tried to kill Brad and blamed it on Calum, that was bad but what was worse? I fucking' believed it. Feeling uneasy about what happened, I stood up and walked over to Brad. Trying to act normal when you know the truth and the attempted murderer is stood in the same room, makes your heart race."Um, Tristan" he looked at me. "Yes, yn?" I looked at him, " do you mind going and getting some more bandages and asking Livvie to come and help me, please?" I asked him nicely as I could while all the time knowing he tried to kill my best friend and blamed it on the person I really liked.

"Of course yeah, I'll be right back," He said eyeing me before turning around and leaving out the door. I sighed in relief. Turning back to Brad, I moved the curls out of his face. "Don't worry Brad, I know it wasn't Calum. I know who it was and trust me he won't be alone with you" I say, hearing a knock at the door. My whole body turned quickly to see Luke at the door holding the bandages in his hand, looking upset.

"Livvie was busy but I brought these up for you," He said walking in and closing the door behind himself before walking over to me. He handed me them, "thanks, Luke," I say looking at him.

He nodded his head and went to turn around. "Hey Luke wait a minute," I say, he stopped and turned back around. "Yeah?" "What's the matter?" I ask wondering why he sounded so upset. He looked at me, then looked at Brad then back to me again. "It's Calum," he said."What about him?" I ask starting to unravel one of the bandages on my hands to get ready to change Brad's bandage around his head. "He's gone," he said quietly. I looked at him, " gone? What do you mean?" I ask.

Gone, how could he be gone?

"He's left yn, he's not in the house anymore. The back door was open. He's gone and you know what it's your fault! It's your fault that my best friend is gone! It's all your fault because you thought he hurt Brad!" He said raising his voice. "My fault, it not my fault. Everyone else believed he hurt Brad, everyone including you Luke. Everyone but that doesn't matter anymore" I say walking over to Brad.

Luke scoffed, "it doesn't matter anymore? It does matter, he's my best friend and he's gone because of us. All of us and you say it doesn't matter? How can you say that, did you not even like him at all?" He asked raising his voice. "Of course I did," I say, looking at him. "Then why aren't you bothered that he's gone?" He asks, crossing his arms."Luke, I need to take care of Brad," I say. The truth is I did care that Calum was gone, I did but at this moment I had to take care of Brad.

"Bullshit you don't care!" He yelled at me. I shake my head. "I do care, I care that he's gone. I care that stupidly I believed that he hurt my best friend when I know he didn't. He's gone, Luke. I know that, and I'll get him back. I promise you that but please I need your help, Luke, please" I begged him.

"Fine, I'll help you," he said. Thanking him, he helped me changed Brad's bandages. Throwing the other ones in the bin while I went and washed my hands. I went back into my room and saw Luke sat on the floor. I closed the door behind myself. "Luke"

"Yes?" He looked at me. " it wasn't Calum that attacked Brad" I say. " I know, I know that I shouldn't have said I never believed him. I pushed my own best friend away because I was stupid thinking he was capable of something like that when I know he isn't," Luke said. "It's alright Luke we're all to blame. I need you to look after Brad while I go and find Calum, alright?" I said to him. "Why can't I come with you to get Calum" he complained. "Because Luke I'm going to tell you something. I know who tried to kill Brad and after I tell you. I need you to not tell anyone else and I need you to stay and watch over Brad for me." I say.

He nodded his head. " Okay, who did it?" "First tell me where Calum would go," I say to him.

Luke's Point Of View:

"It was who?" I asked in disbelief. "I've told you, Luke. It was Tristan but now I need you to watch over Brad while I go and get Calum. Ok?" Yn said. I nodded my head. "I will," I said. She smiled at me before walking over to the door. "And Luke? " I looked at her, "yeah don't tell anyone else that we know it was Tristan alright"

"I won't I promise" She nodded her head and thanked me. "Yn" she turned and looked at me. "Be careful" I said, she nodded her head. "Always see you later Hemmings," she said opening the door and walking out and closing it behind her. "Brad mate you really need to wake up," I said while sitting down watching him.

I promised yn I would look after Brad while she went and tracked down Calum to get him back. I couldn't believe Tristan tried to kill Brad.

What did Brad know about him that made Tristan try to kill him?

Tristan was dangerous and he was living under the same roof.

If he was capable of trying to kill Brad what else was he capable of and what else was he hiding?
