Time Is Not On Our Side // Brad Simpson

•Chapter 12•

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I scream at whoever is behind the door and I cry into my pillow. I hear the door open and sigh before turning around.

"Leah?" He smiles softly and sits beside me.
"He's gone gone Brad! He's gone and it's all my fault!" I ball my eyes out and he pulls me into his chest. "I know what your thinking," I murmur "stupid little girl she killed her own brother." Tears fill my eyes and Brad grips me tighter.
"No that's not what I was thinking at all," he kisses my head and it becomes quiet not awkward quiet calm quiet.

Brad's P.O.V
1 month later...

Im flying back to America again to see Leah it's only two weeks since I last came home but I don't like leaving her on her own.

Ever since her brother died she's been showing signs of anxiety and depression and has been seeing a therapist that I payed for. Leah's mum can't afford for her to come home and her dad doesn't want her to leave. So as often as I can I fly to America to see her.

I knock on the door to no answer I push to door to find it's open. What the hell has the house been broken into? What if she's... No! I need to stop these thoughts! I calm myself down before shouting her name. "Leah! Where are you?" I run up the stairs quickly.

Leah's P.O.V

I'm home from the doctors my therapist sent me there I had three scans and it turns out I have leukaemia. I only have months to live possibly less.

I lock my self in the bathroom crying without tears they've already gone. I hear the door open but I don't care who it is or why they're here I just want to stay here.

Brad's P.O.V

I notice the only locked room is the bathroom and I knock gently on the door. "Leah?" I can hear her sobs from the other side of the door I feel helpless, useless I can't help her unless she lets me.

"Leah I know your in there please open up,"
"Brad..." I hear her cry,
"Open up sweetie." The door unlocks and I push it open.

"I... I'm gonna die!" Panic fills her eyes and she clutches her tummy.
"What no Le your not,"
"I went to the.. doctor I've got leukaemia..."

Quite an upsetting chapter😬
