Xander's POV
Days had passed by since the talk I had with my father, and ever since then, his words have remained in my mind, like an initial carved into a tree.
His words were all I could hear when working when sleeping and even in my dreams, his words were everywhere in my mind.
'' Love is not for people like us''
His words had me so worried, making me wonder if my father was right, wondering if I was so damaged and beyond repair, and no one would ever love me.
Wondering if Bella could ever love a damaged man like me and whether she was better off without me, and I should not be hoping for something that would never happen.
Breathing out heavily, my Dad's words continued to hover around in my mind, as I tried to focus on work again because that was all I did nowadays. I try to focus on work just to get my mind off things.

Why is my restaurant empty,'' I asked, whispering to my father as I stopped him in his tracks,'' I thought we needed the privacy, so I cleared the restaurant out for the evening,'' My dad whispered back and I scoffed.''

Let me be dad, I just want to go inside, lay on my bed, close my eyes and forget all this ever happened,'' I said softly, as I didn't have the strength to argue with him right now.''
