HIS LOVER IN DISCRETION

Chapter 3

I got a message from Ethan’s girlfriend saying she wants to meet.

This can’t be good. How does she even know that am around except if Ethan had blab about my arrival to her.

I was just deliberating on Ethan the truth, Why does it have to me that is always involved with the crazy set of people.

She sent me an address that was about two hours away from where I was.

“Sophie wants you to destroy this” She said when she arrived at the location.

“Am not cut out of this bullshit. You guys need to stop toying with Ethan. He has feelings too you know” I said.

“Please spare me the crap and just do your job” She said before heading towards her car.

I got into my car and drove off.

The folder contains what seems to be an encryted file. There was no way in hell that I was destroying this, I needed this if am I ever going to tell Ethan the truth.

I had gotten a phone call seven years ago from a hospital saying they have a certain Ethan Anderson and that I needed to come quickly. For the first time in my life, I was scared of losing someone. Ethan was the first ever friend I made in high school even before meeting Scott. He saved me from being bullied even though we ended up getting a beating from those bullies together, we still ended up as best friends.

I couldn’t believe my ears when I overheard Ethan’s Mom, Sophie and Joe discussing on how they had orchstrated the plan of killing Amelia, Ethan’s girlfriend but Ethan had been the one who almost got killed instead.

I had no choice than to help them cover their plan but by doing that, they wouldn’t hurt Amelia. I had no choice.

Amelia was the one person that Ethan loves the most and even though he ended up forgetting about her after the accident, I felt like it was my duty to protect her.

I couldn’t let them hurt the person he was in love with.

It was a stupid idea yet I couldn’t come up with a better plan.

It was high time I told Ethan of what was going on. It has been three weeks since Joe gave me the folder but since those three weeks, they’ve been cutting me out of every one of their plan which means that they are planning to do something soon.

I got to his place of work which I rarely visit but ended up doing because of what I was about to say.

Will he stop being my friend because of this?

Will he hate me for this?

“Hey dude” I said trying to sound as if I wasn’t going to nervous.

“You never visit me at work” He said.

“ I want to talk to you about something, I thought about it and decided that our friendship was worth more than anything else in this world” I ranted and a frown immediately came over his face.

“What do you want to talk about that is so serious?” He asked.

This is it.

“About what really happened when you had that accident” I revealed.

“I know you wil label meas a bad friend but I didn’t really have a choice, she threatened to kill her if I say a word. Am sorry” I said

“Calm down and explain whatever you’re talking about?” He said.

“Your mom”I said.

“What did she do?”

“She was the cause of your accident”

“Am sorry, you say what”

“S-She said she wanted you not to be with her and she was going to do whatever it takes to do that”

“Wanted me not to be with who?” He asked.

“With Amelia”

“And how do you know about all of this?”

“Remember when you were in the hospital and needed someone to get your clothes from home and I offered?” I said and he nodded.

“Well, I went to your house and overheard your mom and Josephine talking about how the accident really occurred and how they wanted to kill Amy”I said.

“And why are you just telling me this?” He asked in a frustrated tone. I knew he was angry. I had about five or probably even six years to tell him about this and am just telling him now.

“I couldn’t, I can’t really risk Amy dying. Your mom was planning on killing and only stopped when I promise not to tell a single soul about your relationship with Amelia. I know how much you are crazy about her but I only decided to tell you this because she is planning something”

“And what exactly is it?”

“I have no idea, she has started cutting me off from any form of communication about Amy or even Joe”

“How do I trust you on this?”

“Hmm….How about showing you the video on who was instructed on hitting you” I said while referring to the video I had gotten someone to open from the file.

They were all mad at me and at this point I think they don’t trust me anymore.

I didn’t plan on doing it.

I felt that it was a nice thing to do

Amelia, Delle and even Scott were angry at me. They were all mad at me.

It was going to take long before they can trust me.

Dad and Mom were around this night and I really wanted to go over to Jason’s place because his place was still bearable and comfortable to be.

“Didn’t Jason inform you that I wanted you to meet someone?” Mom asked.

“I was busy” I simply replied.

“Busy??. It was an important meeting Jeremy” She scolded.

“And I had things to do” I said while Dad ignored us like he always do.

“You are seriously getting on my nerves.” Mom said.

“You can’t expect me to leave work just so I can meet someone. The world doesn’t really revolve round” I said before leaving the house.
