15. BRUISED, BEATEN AND I LOVE YOU

XANDER'S POV:

My phone went off and I groaned in sleep. Who calls at this hour? Without checking the caller ID, I picked up the call.

"Hello?" My voice rasped out. There was silence at the other end for a few seconds before someone spoke up

"Xander." she croaked out and my eyes widened.

"X-Xenia?" I spoke but nothing.

"Babe, talk to me? Are you alright?" I spoke once again in worry but the line was dead silent. I immediately shot out of the bed and slipping on the clothes, I ran out.

Leo's voice stopped me in my tracks.

"What's up Xander? All good?" he asked and I shook my head.

"It's Xenia, something's wrong. I'll call you." I said in a hurry and ran towards my car.

"I'm sending backup" he yelled and I drove away without any reply.

I reached her place in 15 minutes, the fastest and ran towards her front door which was unlocked. My heart rate increased wildly. Something's wrong. Really badly wrong. Opening the door, the scene that met my eyes, made my blood ran cold. I took the gun out and stepped forward a bit.

"Xenia?" I shouted. As soon as I entered the living room, I saw a puddle of blood. And I saw Xenia between that puddle. Her body turned sideways and her hair covering her face. Shards of glass scattered everywhere and I even spotted some on her body. Her dress ruined and matching the color of blood. I swallowed the painful lump that formed in my throat and bent down. Moving her hair out of her face, my breath got caught in my throat. Her face had small cuts almost everywhere and there were still some pieces of glass stuck in her skin. I gently took them out one by one. Please be alive, please be alive is what I kept chanting. I checked her pulse and she was alive but it was faint. Hoisting her up, I turned around to take her out but I saw two dead men lying on the sides. She fought. I gently lay her down on the backseat and got in my seat. I dialed Leo and he picked up instantly.

"I sent twenty men, they must reach any minute now." he said as soon as he answered the phone.

"No don't. There's been an attack at her house. I am taking her to the hospital. Send backup there. Also inform ma and papa and send someone to clear the mess at her house. And Leo." I paused.

"Yeah?"

"Come fast please." I said and he hung up mumbling an 'okay.'

Reaching the hospital, I carried her inside.

"Xander? What happened?" Paul, my friend, asked. He's a doctor.

"Please. It's Xenia." Is all I said and he nodded immediately shouting instructions. Placing her on the stretcher, they took her inside the OT and I was asked to wait outside. My white shirt now had her blood. I sat in the chair and held my head in my hands. For the first time, I prayed to God then and there. I want nothing more than for her to be okay. Please. I heard footsteps approaching so I looked up. Mom, Dad and Leo were rushing towards me with worry settled on their faces. I hugged mom at once and cried.

"I can't lose her ma. She's in a really bad condition. She's lost so much blood." I murmured in her shoulder. My body racking with sobs. She rubbed my back and told me it'll be okay.

I explained everything to them and they listened intently telling that further discussions on this matter shall be made in private. Leo went to grab water from the cafeteria and I sat rocking my body back and forth waiting impatiently for any news of her. I fished my phone out of the pocket and dialed Asher.
