I sit anxiously waiting for my flight to board. The airport is buzzing around me but I am stuck in my own world. It is more like prison if I'm being honest. I really hated the fact that I had to do this. Haven't I been through enough already? I am so exhausted. I feel like I haven't slept in days. I've barley eaten and i have constant headaches. I just want this to be over. My parents are coming closer to the court day so I am on my own until then. Cillian and Tom are coming later as well. They wanted to spend a little time with their family before they go. Which is totally understandable. They're really great dads. Eventually we board the plane and I settle in for the flight. I put my earbuds in and start playing my music. My phone buzzes signalling I received a text.
Jack:)
I hope you have a safe flight, I wish I was there to keep you company.
I smile to myself as I turn my phone on air plane mode. I close my eyes and feel us take off. Before I know it we land at JFK. I am currently grabbing some food before I have to get my luggage. My dad told me that he will have security guards pick me up and take me back to my apartment. I haven't really been back in my apartment in a long time. After Xavier and I got divorced I moved back home for a bit. I couldn't bring myself to go back to the place where everything happened. I was gifted the property during the divorce. I really wish I could live at my parents house but for some reason they want me stuck at the house of nightmares. I walk towards the baggage claim and pick up my bag. I walk over to a sign that says my name and make my way to the car. No one said anything. I sat there dreading the upcoming week. We arrive to the apartment and walk inside. We take the elevator to the penthouse suite. The elevator dings and the doors open. I walk to the door and unlock it.
I open the door and stare inside. Nothing has changed although I don't really know why i expected it too. I slowly step in and look around. Memories flood back into my mind. I feel tears start falling down my face and I run upstairs not wanting the guards to see me crying. I shut the door to the bedroom and lean against it. I try to take a few deep breathes and get myself out together. I can't be a mess. Not right now. I have to be strong. I have a meeting with Johnathan tomorrow morning. He wants to prep me for what to expect and how we are going to precede from here. I look up and notice that there are fresh flowers by the bed. I stand up and walk over to the flowers. I find a note and i read it.
I can't wait to see you again babe. -Xavier
I drop the note and throw the vase against the wall. He was here. He's been inside the apartment. I begin to panic , my mind racing. How can they expect me to be safe here if he has already been inside? I run to the bathroom and throw up. I feel so lightheaded as I lay down on the cold bathroom floor. I am sweating like crazy and my vision keeps going in and out. The last thing I remember before passing out is the smell of Xavier's cologne.
~~~~~~~~~~ A/N:
So sorry for the short chapter. I really just wanted to get a chapter out so this is kinda a filler chapter. I will be uploading more next week. I am sorry for the lack of updates, I have just been super busy with work. But definitely will be writing more and uploading next week. The next chapter I'm uploading today is just what I imagine Piper's apartment to look like. But I promise the story will get more interesting soon. Thank you again for reading my story!
