♚ Xavier's POV ♚
"She has lost a lot of blood, but we managed to take out the bullet. She is now out of danger. And don't worry. She'll wake up by tomorrow." The doctor said.
I felt the happiness built inside me when I heard that Hadley is now out of danger.
"Xavier." Margaret called me.
I turned around to face her, the grin not leaving my face. But the frown on her face suddenly made me feel otherwise.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Don't you think that all of this is just weird?" She asked.
"W-what do you mean?" Now it was .y turn to frown.
"Don't you see it? It obviously can't be a coincidence that Hadley and Neil are in the hospital at the same time, both injured so badly that they were on the edge of dying." She raised her eyebrow at me.
"So you're telling me that someone did all this. That someone actually tried to kill them." I gave her a look.
"Yes." She nodded.
"Don't be ridiculous. Who would do all this?" I rolled my eyes at her.
"Just think about it, Xavier. Neil got hit by a car and the person didn't even look back. I mean, the car must have gotten damaged, right? Did you see the speed?" She said.
That actually did catch my attention. I frowned at her as she continued.
"And Hadley... You said they were robbers. Did they take your wallet, or your car after she got shot?" She asked.
"No..." I said, thinking about what she just said. She is kind of right though.
They didn't take anything after Hadley got shot.
"What if they were just shocked and then ran away?" I asked her.
"They're robbers, Xavier." she said as if I was stupid.
"You're just being ridiculous. That can't happen. Who would do that? I think you need to get your brains checked." I chuckled, making her narrow her eyes at me.
"You're going to regret not listening to me." she huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Whatever." I waved her off and started walking to the doctor's office.
☆ Margaret's POV ☆
To be honest, I was mad that Xavier was thinking that I was being ridiculous. I knew that there was someone behind all this. All of this just can't be a coincidence. Who is crazy to not believe all that? Xavier probably.
"What happened to you?" Neil asked me with a raised eyebrow.
I looked at him, more like glared at him. I could see him flinch a bit, but I seriously don't care right now. He can be miles away and I wouldn't care. I am that pissed.
"So, you're not gonna tell me?" He asked.
I huffed and sat down on the chair, crossing my arms over my chest. "Xavier isn't believing me."
"Believing what?" He asked.
"Come on. This can't be a coincidence. First you and then Hadley. I'm telling you, there is someone behind all this!" I threw my hands in the air.
"Hey, it's gonna be fine." He extended his hand towards me.
"You don't believe me either, do you?" I breathed out.
"Look--" he started, but I cut him off.
"Forget it, Neil. Just forget it." I walked out of his hospital room.
He tried to stop me, but I didn't listen to one word he said. I just walked away from him. I thought that from all the others, at least he would believe. I guess he doesn't either. Nobody ever does. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I walked out of the building.
Why am I crying anyways. Because he fucking means the world to you, my head said. I sniffed. It's true. He does mean the world to me. I will not be able to live without him. I guess I never imagined him to say something like that. Neil was always there for me. He would always support me in anything.
How can they ignore all this and think that everything is a fucking coincidence!? Why don't they just try to believe all this? I just know that someone is behind all this. And I will find out who that person is. Even if I have to go through hell, I will do it. I don't care if they believe me or not, I will do this. I will find out who is hurting everyone Hadley or anyone who means a lot to us..
That means that one of us is going to be the next target. It is either Xavier, grandma, Xavier's dad or me. We are the only ones left. I don't know if I should include Sarina, because she has been ignoring all of us for quite a time now.
I was so caught up in my thoughts, that I hadn't even realize that I was walking down the street. I didn't really know where to go next. It took me a while to realize that the park wasn't that far from where I was at the moment.
I decided to go to the park, since it was so late in the night already. It was nearly one am. I sighed and continued walking further. I shivered as I walked. I rubbed my upper arms, sending a tiny bit of warmth through my body. I wish I would have the proof to show them that someone is doing all this.
I will find that person! I reached the park and I walked over to the swings, sitting on one of them. I swing as I let my thoughts take over. To be honest, I was happy that Neil was in my life, but sometimes he does the most unexpected things. I love Neil and there is no doubt in him loving me too. But why doesn't he believe me?
I thought that h would understand. That he would believe... But he doesn't... and it hurts me by just thinking about it. Suddenly I heard footsteps behind me, and I quickly turned around to find no one there. Weird. I turned around again, looking in front of me, just to see none other than April in front of me.
"Hello, Margaret." was all I heard before everything went black.
