Chapter Fourteen
I was waiting for Xavier, all dressed up for our date in a red dress that stopped mid-thigh. I took extra effort to look good for him and blushed thinking about his reaction when he sees me. Things were going so well between us and he was just so damn sweet. Over the past one month, I realized that I liked him too and decided to tell him that I was ready to take the leap because I knew it was killing him to keep it casual, and honestly, it was killing me too. I wanted to be in a relationship with him and as far as I knew Xavier, he seemed to be an amazing guy.
The loud ringing of my phone broke my thoughts and I picked it up. It was Nate. La

I sat up with a jerk and looked at him with wide eyes. What the hell did he mean by he wasn't Hannah's father? My mind was racing with a million thoughts and he sat up, looking at me with his intense gaze."Uhhh...Nobody knows about this except me and my parents. I thought you should know because I trust you," he started and I remained silent, bracing myself for what he was about to say, "I'm not a single child, Rebecca. I had an older brother and he was married to this amazing girl, Grace. Hannah is their daughter," he stated in a sad tone.Had a brother? Oh god, no. Let it not be what I think it might be."Four years back, they were out on a date and while returning home," he swallowed hard and I held his hand. I felt my eyelids brim with tears, seeing how hard it was for him to tell, "It was raining and their car....it just slid off the road. That night when we received the call from the police, it was the worst day of our lives.

"Becca," I looked up from my notes and found Hannah standing near my desk with a piece of paper in her hand."Yes, Hannah," I whispered as the entire classroom was quiet and smiled down at her. She held out the piece of paper to me. I took it from her hands and saw the picture she drew. It was a stick figure of a man, a woman, and a little girl."That's my dad, then there is me in the middle and," she pointed to the woman, "that's you." she grinned widely and my heart swell with happiness."It's beautiful, baby," I smiled and got up from my chair to kiss her cheeks."Dad is so going to love it," she squealed and ran back to her seat while I shook my head with a small smile. She was so cute and innocent. My love for this little kid was increasing day by day and she made me so happy just as much as her dad did. I was really so damn lucky to have them in my life."Okay, class. Remember to get the

“Jesus, Nate. What the hell are you doing in my apartment?” I asked, holding my poor startled heart. I did give him a key but I didn't expect him to scare me like this.“Becca,” he slurred and I noticed that he was slightly drunk.“You could have called before coming. You scared the crap out of me and why the hell are you drunk?” I asked and started to walk past him.“I’ve missed you,” he muttered and placed a hand on my shoulders, turning me around roughly.“We do hang out often, Nate.” I sighed and pushed him lightly. I had a gut feeling that he wasn’t here to just hang out with me.“Look, Becca, I want you.”What?“What?” I asked, scrunching my eyebrows in confusion.“I mean...I want to be with you,” he pinched the bridge of his nose, ” as more than a friend.”“Well, I think you are super drunk and you are talking bullshit,” I le

Xavier's POV:I tried to ignore her and kept walking towards my truck as I couldn't erase the picture of her kissing Nate from my head. I know I should have heard her out but I was so pissed off and just wanted to be alone. I didn't want to say anything in anger that I might regret later."You were never the rebound. In fact, I lo---" her voice was cut off as I heard a car swooshing past me. I turned around in confusion and saw her lying on the ground.What the fuck?I stood there frozen as I couldn't believe the sight in front of me.No, this must be a dream.A bad fucking dream!Not another accident! I fell to the ground staring at her in shock as blood started dripping down from her head. People started to crowd around her and I came out of my daze, crawling towards her. Tears started flowing down my cheeks automatically.Fuck, why did she have t

Xavier's POV:Hours passed by and it was almost noon. I was waiting impatiently for the doctors to come out and give us some good news. Rebecca's mom was standing near the ICU door, crying silently while Nate went to get us all some coffee even though I said I didn't want anything. Food was the last thing on my mind. I leaned against the pillar outside the ICU and closed my eyes, saying a silent prayer to my brother."I think you should go home and get changed out of these clothes, dear." I heard my mom's voice and opened my eyes."I'm not going anywhere until she wakes up," I replied sternly and she sighed, giving up."Okay, let's sit down." She pulled me towards the chair and held my hands in a comforting manner."Mom, I'm scared.""She is going to make it, Xavier. God can't be that cruel. She has to pull through at least for that little girl," she spoke, her voice almost breaking

I wanted to burst out in laughter when I saw his reaction. God, he was so damn cute sometimes. I decided to put him out of his misery."Just kidding, daddy." I smiled, giving him a small wink."Jesus Christ! You are lucky that you are already hurt or you would be so dead right now! Fuck!" He ran his hands through his hair in frustration as he let out a huge breath."Alright, love birds. That was exciting. Now you, young lady, go to sleep. And you, daddy, get out!" The doctor teased and my face went red.Shit! I totally forget about him."Just five minutes, doc!" Xavier pleaded with him and the doctor gave him a stern look. He looked back and forth between us and nodded, looking at his watch."Five minutes and not a second beyond that," he replied and walked out of the door. Xavier rushed towards me and sat down, cupping my face with his large hands which were warm and comforting. My

"Hey," I heard Nate's voice and looked up to see him peeping through the door. I sat up straight immediately and gave him a small smile. I had no idea what to say to him and it was pretty awkward."Hey, didn't you go to work?" I asked in confusion and he just shook his head, pulling a chair to sit down."I wanted to talk to you before heading to work," he cleared his throat."What did you want to talk about?" I mumbled silently, not meeting his gaze."About what happened before the accident. I shouldn't have behaved like that and I just wasn't myself, Becca. I was so scared of losing you and went crazy." He spoke, looking at me intently."Nate...I'm not going to lie to you. I did like you but I just don't feel that way now." I sighed, feeling so bad for breaking his heart. I was already feeling low that my mom wanted me to go back to New York and now he was making me feel sad too."

In fact, I was planning on asking Rebecca to move in with so that I can talk care of her better but I didn't want her to feel pressured or anything.Baby steps!"I thought you would be inside with her," I heard her mom's voice behind me and turned around to find her, narrowing her eyes at me."Well, I was hoping to talk to you, Mrs.Thompson." I took a deep breath and felt my palms go sweaty.Shit! Why was I so nervous?"Talk about what?" she asked, folding her arms in front of her and I was feeling intimidated already."I want Rebecca to stay here because I'm fully capable of taking care of her, Mrs. Thompson." I stated confidently and waited for her response."I can see how well you take care of her," she replied sarcasti
