A/N: Hi guys, does the title of this chapter ring a bell? Yes it does! It's Shawn Mendes' song 'Never Be Alone,' it's so awesome, he is adorable and so is his voice, you should check out his songs. But first, you have to follow my amazing friend called Kisses517, she is the awesome person that gave me the idea of creating an account based on Nikolas, the account is Nikolas_Taptiklis, she helped me create it. Anyways, instead of boring you to death, I should deliver you my chapter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nikolas POV

" Sir, we need to take her to the hospital right away. You may follow us or stay here until you receive any news." Is he f*cking crazy? Does he think that I am going to consider following him? Is he really that pathetic to think such a thing? " SHE IS MY BELLS! HOW DARE YOU THINK LIKE THAT?! " My intimidating voice booms, creating rippling echoes throughout the restaurant walls. The man in the luminous ambulance jacket steps back a little, shock evident on his bewildered face. " It is just a suggestion, sir, please follow us."

I do as told for the first time in my life. I can't do anything but listen because my Bells is hurt, and I can't even help her. What kind of boyfriend am I? I don't think she'll even want to date me after what I just did. I could've killed her for Christ's sake! I could've killed my Bells and it would all be my fault. All because I didn't ask her if she is allergic to shrimps. How dumb can I be? My Bells is so helpless and it's all my f*cking fault. My hearts shrinks and feels as if it is being squeezed in Hulk's strong hands. That's how much it hurts.

A middle-aged woman cautiously approaches me, a wary look on her wrinkly features. Her steps are slow and short, like she is afraid to come any closer to me. Well, I don't really blame her, I am a monster for doing that to Bells. A monster. A f*cking monster that hurts everybody who is in arm's reach. That's all I ever was. And that's all I ever will be. To everyone and anyone, including Bells.

" Are you okay, sir? You seem very upset, would you like me to drive you to the hospital? " Does it look like I'm okay?! Are these people f*cking crazy? That's all they're asking. F*cking idiots....

Isabella POV

My numb body eventually conjures the strength to unseal my heavy eyes. A boiling, bubbling feeling rises in my stomach, and the urge to vomit washes over me like a huge tide. My arms and legs force me to hop out of bed, and so I stumble towards the glowing white bathroom that screams for my presence. The hospital is the worst place to stay, especially when there were so many horrible memories that it possesses. It's awful.

There are currently no nurses in my room to help me hold back my hair, so I have no choice but to help myself. This is the issue with my life, there isn't anybody with me to help me, except for Nikolas, and I don't even think that he is willing to stay with me for a while. I mean, look at me, and then look at him and his extraordinary life that is packed with glory and happiness. He won't even be able to stick with me for a month, never mind my whole life.

A loud knock on the door breaks my chain of thoughts, and I just stay in the same position, not bothering to move a muscle for anybody. " Come in."  My raspy voice crackles in the middle of my sentence. Is it Nikolas? Would he really come and check on me? Does he really care for me? Trust me, I will be shocked if he is here. A muscular figure shifts from behind the white door, and I recognise the beautiful face; Nikolas Taptiklis.

" Nick...? Y-you actually came..."  My voice appears to be laced with surprise and nervousness. As Nikolas walks over to me, I sense a tint of reluctance in his steps. Why would he be reluctant? Does he finally realise he doesn't like me? Is he breaking up with me? Does he realise that we are from two different worlds? Once Nick reaches me, his eyes cloud with softness and worry. A nervous chuckle rumbles from his strong chest, " Why do you sound so surprised, Bells? "  Although he is masking his true emotions, but I can see through his disguise, and behind that is pain and disappointment.

" I-I....I thought that you didn't care that much..."  There is no point in lying to him because knows exactly how to get the truth out of me, by making me nervous. At this momemt, his eyes scan my face, then he pauses to stare into my eyes, almost trying to search for something. Nikolas gulps nervously, his adam's apple bobbing.
" Of course I care. What kind of guy would leave their fainted date in a restaurant? You're my girl, my responsibility, my baby. Just please understand that I didn't mean for any of this to happen, I just wanted you to be impressed and I blew the chances."

A blanket of pleasure washes over my body as Nikolas speaks these words. His eyes display a hint of sadness, and he continues, " You don't want a person like me, Bells. I just hurt you an hour ago, it isn't going to work out because I'm just a monster that will only serve you pain."  What is he saying? Does he hear himself right now? His eyes are glued to the floor, but I catch the glassy blanket that is covering the truth. He's close to tears. One glance at his gorgeous eyes, and I open up all the emotions he is trapping in his precious heart.

" Do you even know what you're saying? You don't even know that I'm allergic to shrimps, so how is it your fault? Nikolas, you need to understand that just because I get hurt, it doesn't mean it's your fault, okay? Please understand that. For me, Nick."  His lips gradually and painfully droop into a deep frown. His eyebrows knit together and his forehead creases, a puzzled look conquering his expression. " No, it is my fault because I should've asked you if you were allergic to any type of seafood. I just wanted you to be pleased, and I wanted to be the cause of that, but all I do is hurt you."

Nikolas POV

That pathetic Cassandra is at our mansion at the moment, she suggested that we could get to know each other a bit more as her sister will be my secretary when we go back to America. To be honest, I don't like the idea of getting rid of Bells, because she needs this job more than Annabelle, all Bells has is a few dollars, enough for food. How is she going to live without a high salary? She is going to have to find another job in my company, because I am not letting her work elsewhere.

" So, Miss Williamson, are your parents happy with your job at Taptiklis Industries? "  Cassandra cocks her eyebrow, her voice appears in a mocking manner, and I almost let my tongue loose. It's the way she is speaking to Bells, with a mocking smirk, it's like she thinks she has rights to talk to Bells like that. Well, she isn't going to get away with it if she talks like that again. B*tch.

" U-uh...my father-" Just the mention of her father, my blood bubbles, so I instantly cut into her sentence. I can see the way Bells feels, her posture shows that she is extremely uncomfortable in talking to her. " Her father is quite pleased, but he certainly won't be pleased when he finds out you're talking to Bells like that." Her playful smirk twists into a scowl, and I know that my remark affected her facade of an image. Well, this b*tch needs to learn about personal questions, and also how to talk to people.

" Nikolas, I'm going to sleep now, see you later. Bye Miss Perkins."  Her small, soft voice squeaks into the awkward silence, breaking the uncomfortable vibe that's buzzing in the spacious room. Her voice shows that she may break any moment, so fragile and quiet. My heart leaps, sending me an urge to follow her up the stairs. " You know what? I think my bed is screaming for my presence."  My gaze shifts from the stairs to Cassandra's irritated expression. At least I'm getting a reaction out of the woman.

Cassandra quickly stands up, as if a hornet is attacking her legs. The sight is quite amusing, so I turn to see Bells' expression, but her beautiful face is nowhere in sight. " Well, I'll be going then, Mr. Taptiklis."  Her tone is so formal, it's like you can no longer hear her scratchy, annoying voice, which is a relief. Bells would giggle if I tell her my thoughts about Cassandra, oh, I just want to drown in her sweet and innocent voice.

Cassandra sees herself out without another word from her foul mouth. That's enough from her for one day. I feel sorry for her future husband, she'll be buying hearing aids for him in an instant. Okay, maybe I should stop with my jokes and check on Bells. She did seem a little upset when she sprinted up the stairs. My feet drag me all the way to Bells and I's room, and from the whimpers I hear, I know there is something wrong with her.

" Bells?! Why are you crying...? "  It's not about the question Cassandra asked her, I know that because she has gotten over her father. So what could it be?
