You'll Regret the Rejection

Chapter 16

VICTORIA POV

I groan and open my eyes. I see a nurse doing something with the machine. I go to sit up.

"No, let me help you"

The nurse helps me sit up. I open my mouth to say thank you. But when I do open my mouth nothing comes out. Oh yeah, I forgot. The nurse puts her hand on my shoulder and smiles.

"You're welcome"

She makes the face that she just remembered something. 

"You must be thirsty. I'm so selfish; I'm so sorry" 

She turns around and gives me a glass cup of water. I didn't realize how thirsty I was until now. She gave me the water and I started chugging it. I finish my water, and the nurse gently takes it from my hands and puts it on my nightstand. I look around,  and why am I in my room? And why is my room covered in so many flowers? shouldn't I be in the hospital? And how long have I been out? The nurse sees my face and says.

"First you can talk but don't talk too much. Also, don't scream"

I nod.

"Also, you've been out for a week"

My eyes widen. A week, I've been out for a week!

"Also, I know you're wondering why you are in your room instead of the hosp-"

"Hey babe, hey Victoria"

Neel kisses the nurse cheek when he says hey babe. She blushed and gently pushed Neels away. I widen my eyes and look back at Neels and the nurse. Neel smiles at me but I was able to see a bit of hurt in his eyes when my nurse pushed him away.

"Victoria I want you to meet my mate, Mia"

Mia shyly waved. Mia has fine red hair, very pale skin, her eyes are grey, she has freckles and an adorable button nose.  She's very small. She's smaller than me and I'm 5'1. I would say she's about 4'9 or 4'11, she looks petite. She looks little a doll, but not like those evil Halloween dolls. She looks like a beautiful, fragile, delicate doll. And, her being closer to Neels doesn't help that because he's 5'7. He looks like a giant standing next to her. All of sudden, I see a hand waving in front of me. I make a confused face and move my face back. Neels looks concerned.

"You okay Victoria? You kind of just dozed off there." 

I nod my head, and I look for something to write on and wite with. Mia gives me a notepad and a pencil. I write.

'Where are Crystal and Demi?'

I see Neels' eyes move as he reads the message. 

"Crystal is out getting you something. And my sister is out with Tyler."

My eyes bulge out of my head. How long have I been out? Neels chuckles and opens his mouth to speak. 

"I know surprising. But she's learning."

This is very surprising. I know they're mates but I'm scared Demi's long line fear will keep Tyler and her apart. That and some other things. I hear a knock on the door and Mia, Neels, and I all look at the door. Xander comes in with a tray all I can see is a bowl. I shake from fear and rage. Mia leaves the room, Neels stands up to leave but I grab his hand and plead with my facial expression for him to stay. He looks at me and mouths sorry. Then, he leaves. Xander sets the tray down on my nightstand; I move back but Xander sits on the bed he gently picks up my right hand and kisses it. I try to hold my blush, but I can't. He smiles he lifts his hand, I shudder from fear. I close my eyes I'm expecting a slap but I just feel soft circles on my cheek. I open my eyes and I see Xander smiling but I see hurt in his eyes. He stands up and gently pushes me back, so I'm sitting against the bed frame. He gets the tray and sets it down on my lap. On the tray, there's a cup of water and a bowl of the cup of noodles. I tear up I look up at Xander and mouth 

'How?'

 Xander chuckles and says.

"I remember from when we were kids"

I'm shocked and appalled. When my father first introduced me to cup of noodles; I was a little girl. I fell in love with it. My father and I made it a regular thing for us; my mother hated it so she stopped buying them. But every time I was sick my father would get cup of noodles, and we would eat them together, watch movies, talk stories, it was the best time. Most kids hated being sick but I always looked forward to being sick. I know strange, but it's one of the most important memories I hold. I face reality when I feel something smooth against my lips. Xander rubs my bottom lip with his thumb, he's biting his lip. I look into his eyes and I see the desire in his eyes. I push his hands away from my lips. I look down, I can't see Xander but I know he's hurt from my action but that's life. He puts his finger under my chin and gently moves my face up. He gets a fork and dips it into the bowl of soup and noodles. I don't pay attention and I look at him. He looks different. His hair is a mess it looks greasy like he hasn't washed it in a long time. His eye bags are larger now he probably didn't get any sleep. His skin looks pale, his eyes are a little duller.  Now, I wonder why is he being so nice to me?

'Are seriously asking that'

'Oh shut up Amy'

'Fine'

I feel a light tapping on my hand. I pay attention and I see a fork with soup and noodles on it. I open my mouth, and he gently puts the fork in my mouth. He gently takes the fork out of my mouth. I chew the noodles then swallow it. Xander gives me a drink of water, next he keeps feeding me. This has to be the nicest thing Xander has ever done to me. After a while, the bowl is empty, and the cup of water is almost empty. Xander picks up the tray and sets it down on my nightstand. Xander moves a little closer to me, I try to move back but there's no space. He takes my hands in his own. He looks straight into my eyes and says the words I thought I would never hear in my life from him.

"I love you"
