It wouldn’t have been easy to scale through that hard hurdle if you weren’t such a good person.” He smiled softly. “ I don’t want to keep talking so you wouldn’t think I am trying hard to impress you. I want you to know that I will always be here for you, no matter what. It's a hill I plan to die on anyway.” He grinned at his last word. Nina chuckled softly. “You always seem to know what to say. Thank you so much, Xander.” He leaned forward, kissing her forehead. “I will always be here. Anytime you want me to. So, would you lik

she asked, grinning up at him, eyes heavy-lidded and happy. He put his arm around her, still shirtless, the welt on his collarbone already yellowing to bruise. “All or nothing,” he agreed, and watched the city’s broken horizon bristle with new life.

“Little Bear, you've been through hell and back, no one would ever expect you to come out of it even the least bit affected. You've suffered more trauma than anyone I know, and yet you're still fighting. You are a true warrior. Don't ever think otherwise. What they did to you would have anyone second guessing themselves. Don't let them win. They want to see you fail. Just because they got to you, doesn't mean that they've won. The fact that you were able to see through their lies only proves how strong you really are.” Xavier's body becomes rigid. Within seconds, he is standing up, and turns his back to me. I look away, closing my eyes. Wishing that I could somehow be anywhere but here. He c

"I don’t know if I can. I don’t know if I’m strong enough to stand my ground." He took my hand, his touch grounding me. "You are, you don’t have to do it all at once. You’ve been fighting your entire life to get away from that world. And now, you’re just fighting to keep your own freedom." I let out a bitter laugh. "Freedom… I don’t even know what that means anymore." "You will," Xander said softly. "It’s not something you have to figure out all at once. It’s just something you get by choosing yourself. By trusting that, in the end, you’ll be okay. And no matter what happens, I’m here with you."

Xenorr blurt out in frustration Asher laughs at the revelation “You sure are a good person, doctor but good people is dumb. Your kindness will lead to your doom.” “I don’t regret saving you, Ash. You said you wanted to live.” said Xenorr “Why are you hurting yourself like this?” “Did I” Asher paused for a moment before continuing “really said that?” “You did. I see your will to live and I know you wanted to” Xenorr said “I understand that you have been through a lot-” “You don’t!” yell Asher with defiance “You don’t fucking understand at all. Stop saying that you are. YOU DON’T”

"You have been standing there with that mic in your hand for a long time. What is wrong?" He had not noticed my mood, he had noticed my movement, or better still, my lack of movement. I tried to conjure a smile but none was coming so I said what every girl said when asked that question. "Nothing, Xander," I replied. Xander exhaled. I knew it before I said it that he was not going to take that answer for a conclusive answer. "Methis, you can't keep dying from the inside expecting to solve it on your own."

“The poison is closer than you think.” Before Xavier could respond, the line went dead. He stared at the phone in disbelief.For several seconds he didn’t move. Then he muttered under his breath, “It’s closer than you think…” His jaw tightened. “What the fuck does that even mean?”

It was a simple truth, borne from the countless interactions he'd had with athletes over the years. So what's on your mind?" He asked, genuine concern in his eyes. I let out a sigh, my back against the lockers. "It just feels like I've hit a wall, you know?" He leaned in, listening intently. "Xavier, let me tell you something.
