Mr. CEO and Me

Please...

Maddison's POV

It had been two days since the incident. I couldn't remember much about what had gone down after Ida had found me screaming. I remember flashes. Jacob carrying me out, a nurse asking me to keep my eyes open, my dad hugging me, and... Xavier.

The subject was a touchy topic for me. I didn't want to talk or think about it because it was so frightening to experience. Suddenly finding out that you have endangered the person growing inside of you, waking up connected to wires and tubes and what not. It was a terrifying experience.

Visiting hours were over at 10. My family was hesitant to leave despite me being alright for the past two days, but I made sure they got out, promising to call a nurse if I felt any sort of discomfort.

It was silent in the hospital as I lay wide awake, hearing the distance chime of the clock strike two in the morning. I sighed before I turning to my other side, hoping that sleep would eventually take over. It was hard to get sleep in an unfamiliar place. I lay there with my eyes closed, until I felt the bed on the other side dip.

Shit. Someone is in the room. How did I not hear them come in?

I decided not to react, just incase the person got alarmed and killed me, and moved my hand down slowly to cover my stomach.

I'll protect you little one.

The person didn't say anything for a while, and I felt like they just watched me 'sleep'. Soon, I felt fingers brush away a few stray hairs that had landed on my face.

"Hey" a velvety voice said sadly.

I immediately calmed down, knowing who it was. Despite everything we had even through, he still managed to make me feel at ease. It frustrated me to no end.

"I can't explain how sorry I am to you... I messed up big time. I lied to you and your family for months and I know you don't want to hear it, but I was trying to call it off. The whole time I was secretly trying to end the engagement. The day she came to my office was the day we had finally settled to break up the engagement, but then... Then all hell broke loose. And I could never explain why. But I need you to know- It was only just a business deal for me. It was long before I met you, and by the time I realised I didn't want her anymore, it seemed to be too late. I never loved her though. I never loved anyone but you, Sunshine.

I know you're asleep and you can't hear me right now, but I know I'm huge horrible mess... But this mess loves you endlessly, and will continue to love you till the end of time. I know me apologising won't make everything magically go back to normal again, but you mean the world to me. You honestly always have. I know I'm messed up really badly, but forgive me, please.

I know I hurt you. I hurt myself by hurting you. And as much as I want to, I can't change the past, and what I did. But what I can do, is promise you that I'll never make the same mistake again, no matter what happens. I know that one mistake ruined us. I know I ruined us. But I never meant to. I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry. I just... I just wanted to make you happy and I thought I could figure out the mess I was in alone. And now I know how wrong I was.

I had never been scared of loosing anything in my life. Until I met you. Today when Allison told me about the miscarriage threat, you can't possibly imagine the feelings I went through... "

He paused, and took in a deep breathe before softly starting to hum.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away...
