Semua Bab Amidst Chaos: Bab 11 - Bab 20

I couldn't wipe the smile off my face as I entered my apartment the next day. I honestly couldn't remember being this happy and it felt so unusual yet satisfying."Where the fuck have you been?" Nate roared from the living room with his phone in hand and I frowned at his tone."I thought I made it clear when I said I was going on a date,""You should have been back instead of staying the night like a whore," he snapped, making me gasp. I walked closer towards him in shock, hurt evident on my face, "Crap, I didn't mean it---" his words were cut off as my palm connected with his cheek."Go to hell, asshole." I stomped off to my room, feeling like shit. My mood was completely ruined by him. How could he even say such a thing? I tried to control myself from breaking into tears and lay on my bed when I heard the loud ringing of my phone. I pulled it out from my purse to see my mom's name."Hey Mom," I cl

Xavier's POV:"Uhh... baby, there is a new toy in my room. Why don't you go get it?" I asked, looking at her with my arms still around Rebecca."Okay," she nodded and ran to my room while I quickly removed myself from her and adjusted my hard-on.God, what the hell was I going to tell my daughter?"Oh my god, she thought you were hurting me." Rebecca burst into laughter and I couldn't help but admire how beautiful she looked. I started to laugh too but soon Hannah joined us in the living room with a pout on her face."There is no toy, dad, and leave Becca alone," she had her tiny hands on her hip and tried to scare me away but u just chuckled, swooping her in my arms."I wasn't hurting Becca, baby. I was uhh... giving her a romantic hug," I prayed she would let it go at that and turned around to find Rebecca, trying so hard not to smile."What is a romantic hug?"

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.

“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: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
