Chapter 14Beckett KingPOVIt’s been a week since my hearts been shattered into pieces. I miss her, I miss holding her in my arms as we watch her Anime together, I miss playing on my Xbox while she sits on my lap on Instagram.The thing I miss the most is waking up with her in my arms. The way it feels when she’s close. I’ve been actively avoiding her for the last week, making sure I never work a shift with her on the ambulance van, I’m either with Smith or Gracie.I sit on the second floor looking down at the guys cleaning the rig. the ambulance van got called out to a call a while ago and they’re waiting to clean that next.Dante comes over and sits beside me. “Fuck I’m so fucking tired…” he slumps down looking up at the ceiling.I lay as well looking up. “Don’t I know it.”We do not speak again, just lay there in silence. I frown and look at the time on my watch. I sit up and look at the ground floor. Sadie them left three hours ago, why aren’t they back.“Hey, have you heard from
Chapter 15Beckett KingPOVHearing Sadie was okay, she just has a mild concussion, I could finally breathe easier. But I couldn’t stop the guilt from setting in, if I was actively trying to avoid her, I would have noticed she wasn’t back sooner. She has a concussion because of me.She gets to go home today. Smith and Russo will be stating with her, until she’s okay.I’m at my parents’ house because Damon and Jess requested to see us. So here we are all sitting in their living room. even Jessica’s mother Nash is here. I don’t want to be here, I would much rather be with Sadie making sure she was okay, but I don’t think it would be right of me to be there not after how we ended things. I doubt she trusts me to look after her now. not that she cares or has asked for me.“So yesterday I went for a check-up. We found out the gender of the baby. Damon didn’t want to know, but I was so excited I couldn’t help but tell him.” Jessica says excitedly. She reminds me so much of herself when she
Chapter 16Sadie WildePOVWhen I woke up in the hospital bed last night, I could not help thinking how lucky I was. They could have killed us, I could have died if they really wanted to hurt us, I would have been hurt a lot worse than what I was.When I woke up my first thought was not how lucky I was, my first thought was where Beckett was. My last thought before they knocked me out was always if I would ever see him again.But it’s been a whole day and I haven’t seen Beckett yet, everyone from out station has been over to check on me but Beckett.Dante told me they only realized something was wrong because Beckett realized we were gone too long. He searched for us everywhere, he even asked for help from his brothers to look for us.They haven’t found the men who raided the ambulance van, but I don’t think they’ll ever find them. that was a planned raid that much I know; from the look of the parking lot they planned down to a tee. the fact that they signal jammers was just as alarmi
Chapter 17Beckett KingPOVStanding in front of Sadie’s apartment reminds me of the first time I visited her place, it was the reason for the current pain in my chest. The reason I had an embarrassing panic attack in front of my older brother yesterday.He is never going to let me live that down. The fact that he needed to rope Axel into helping me is what made it even worse. Axel would not stop teasing me this morning. The worst way to wake up believe me. what surprised me most was how worried my father was, Damon told me he sat by my side the entire night.So why am I here right now? Why am I visiting the woman who is the reason for that pain? Because I am a damn sucker for punishment. I almost turned and left ten times already. Why do I feel this way? Why am I even here? why do I still want to be close to her even if she wants nothing to do with being with me.I sigh and walk into her building, I greet her doorman like I always did, everyone is friendly as if they don’t know my he
Chapter 18One week laterSadie WildePOV“Why don’t we go out for a couple of drinks? We haven’t been out in forever.” Tia says over dinner.I shrug my shoulders. I wasn’t really in the mood, I can finally return to work tomorrow and Beckett can finally stop avoiding me, he hasn’t returned a single one of my calls or messages.“Come on, don’t be such a party pooper.” She pouts.Dante kisses her lips, and she smiles at him.I’m kind of annoyed with them right now, especially since it seems Beck is going to say no to me. They’re acting all lovey dovey, before this wouldn’t annoy me but for some reason its ticking me off.I change the subject and ask Dante about what’s happening at the Station. He tells me everything is going well, the guys are working doubles, so they always have one of them on the ambulance because of what happened to us.“Chief says they’re trying to work on a system to stop hijackings, or a better system that alerts police when an ambulance vans GPS goes offline.” D
Chapter 19Beckett KingPOVSo here I am standing in front of Sadie’s apartment once again. After the talk with Lex and Dan and then with my father. I knew I was making the right decision. So here I am standing in front of her apartment once more, one week later.I ring her doorbell.She opens her door happily and hugs me again like she did when I saw her last week.She lets me in, and I go to sit on the sofa. She was watching Naruto. “You can watch this finished if you want. We can talk after.” I tell her.She shakes her head. “I’ll watch it finished after we’re done talking.” She says.I nod. “Okay…” I hide my smile when I see her anxiously tapping her foot watching me.“So have you thought about it?” she asksI nod. “I have…”She narrows her eyes at me. “And what do you think?” she asks“We can start sleeping together again, but I have some conditions we need to follow…” I tell her.She frowns. “Why do we need conditions? What is this some type of contract relationship?” she asksI
Chapter 20 Sadie Wilde POV FLASHBACK “Come on this is crazy Hunter let me go” I try to reason with him. he has locked all the doors of the house, I’m stuck here. He scoffs and crosses his arms. “I do not believe you. As soon as I unlock that door you’ll run for the hills, and I’ll never see you again” Hunter looks at me with mistrust. He has every reason not to trust me. As soon as he unlocks that door I’m moving in with Tia and I plan to never see him again. “Hunter…” I try again. Hunter has lost his damn mind, he tried to kill me and him when I broke up with him while we were driving home. He cheated and my only crime was to trust him now his locked me in our old apartment when I tried to get the last of my things. “Hunter if your bosses find out about this you’ll lose your job, come on be reasonable…” He glares at me. “Shut up. Do not forget I have a gun.” He reminds me. “I know you don’t believe me but I love you I do, just come Hunter unlock the doors, I’ll do anyt
Chapter 21 Third Person POV Sadie walks into her apartment after her run. She places her keys in the tray, she sees the key she gave Beckett there as well. she could not help but smile, she was excited to see him. Today was one of those days, so she needed a little down time, watching a couple of movies with Beck eating take out sounded like the best thing in the world. Especially after last night’s disaster. She had no idea what she did wrong, but Beck looked upset. She tried sending him a few text messages last, but he only responded to those later that night. He did say he was going to have dinner with his parents but she didn’t think it would go on until ten in the night. Then she remembered all this brothers and him were all big, so they must eat as much as Beck did. Beck ate a lot, he worked out before and after every shift, he cared about his body but he burnt way too many calories if you asked me… She thought to herself. She could not imagine Beckett even bigger. His brot
