Chapter Twenty-Six

"Okay. Calm down. Take a deep breath and then tell me what happened." Xavier said as he cupped my cheeks.

Since I had received that message I was hyperventilating. I just couldn't believe what was happening. Until the part where I got shot, I understand. That is something she would do out of jealousy, but I never thought that she would kidnap Margaret. I did as Xavier instructed and took another deep breath. Neil, dad and Xavier were all worried about me, and I was worried about Margaret.

"W-we need to get out of here." I said. All I could think of was Margaret. "We need to help her. Her life is in danger."

"What are you talking about?" Xavier asked.

"April has Margaret." Neil spoke. "We need to help her." Neil tried standing up, but fell on the wheelchair again.

"How does April have Margaret?" Xavier asked.

"She just fucking texted me, Xavier! She told me she has her!" I screamed.

I don't know why I was screaming. All could think of was that April is a psycho and she can literally do anything to Margaret. I don't want Margaret to get hurt because of me. Oh please, let Margaret be fine. Suddenly the door flew ope and in walked a woman with the white coat that the doctors wear.

"Ma'am, you really need to calm down. Stress can harm you and your baby." she placed her hand n my shoulder.

I stood up from the bed and pulled out the infuse thingies that were onto my hand. I felt a little dizzy, but I managed to stand straight. I glared at the doctor.

"My best friend got fucking kidnapped by my fucking ex-best friend and you want me to fucking calm down!?" I yelled as one of the plates on the bedside table fell and nearly shattered into pieces.

Suddenly I felt arms wrapping around my body and by the warmth I realized that it was Xavier who was holding me. It surely was supposed to calm me down, but I remained pissed. I was pissed at April for kidnapping Margaret, for hitting Neil with a car and almost killing me and my baby. She is such a stubborn bitch, who has no fucking other things to do, then go around and ruin other people their lives.

"Hadley, please calm down." Xavier kissed my forehead. "Can you guys please leave us alone for a few minutes?" Xavier asked the others as he grabbed me by the waist and placed my on the bed like I weighted nothing. 

They nodded and soon the room was empty. I heard Xavier sigh as he took my hands in his. It was silent for a few seconds until he spoke. 

"It'll be fine. Stop worrying." he hugged me. 

I rested my head on his chest as his arms were wrapped securely around my body. "I'm worried about her, Xavier. What if April hurts her?" tears streamed down my face out of frustration.

"Don't worry. She'll be just fine, okay?" he kissed my forehead. "Did she tell you where they are?" he asked and I shook my head, saying no.

The door opened and Sarina walked in. She ran up to me and placed her hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay?" she asked concerned.

"April has Margaret." I sniffed as Xavier let go of me.

"What? Where are they?" she licked her bottom lip.

"I don't know." I said frustrated.

"Don't worry. We'll find her." she hugged me and I hugged her back. 

I hope she'll be fine.

I groaned as I felt the bed dip beside me. All I wanted was a goodnight sleep, but no, people have to ruin everything. My eyes remained closed and I tried going back to sleep, but then I felt a kiss on my forehead. I smiled when I realized that this must be Xavier. I slowly opened my eyes and found Xavier smiling warmly at me.

I sat up and looked at him. "So, got any news?" I asked.

"No. I tried tracing Margaret's phone and the last location was at the park, but she's not there." he said.

"No. She's with April. And I know April well. She must have brought her to an abandoned place." I frowned.

I don't really know where April would bring Margaret, but I do know that its somewhere abandoned. I know that because April always liked abandoned places. There is no chance that she would have brought her to a place in the city or something.

"Xavier, you should go home now." dad walked in the room. "You've been here all night— Oh, good morning, sweetheart." Dad walked over to me and kissed my forehead when he saw that I'm awake.

"Good morning, dad." I smiled at him and then looked at Xavier. "You were here all night?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

He scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly at me. "Yeah... I was."

"Why? You sh—"

"I was worried about you." he cut me off. "And also... It's hard to fall asleep without you. I miss you too much." he said sheepishly.

"I'm right here, you know." dad raised his eyebrow at him.

"So?" Xavier also raised one eyebrow.

I started laughing so hard.

"You have changed my son." dad his eyes grew wider.

"Whatever. I'm going home. I'll be back in an hour, okay?" he said and I nodded.

After one last kiss on the forehead, he walked out of the room as well as dad, leaving me alone. I was about to lie back down, but then Neil walked into the room. Yes walked. Its like this guy can do any impossible thing possible. He can't walk that well, but he can walk on that leg. It wasn't really broken, it was just injured.

He looked at me and I looked at him. "Yes, Mr. Cullen?" I smiled at him.

He sat on the chair and laced his fingers together. "Can we just... Talk?" he asked.

Neil seemed pretty stressed out to be honest. And he was not the only one.

"Yeah, sure." I took his hand in mine. "Neil, we're gonna find her. don't worry." It sounded more like I was trying to convince my own fucking self.

"I don't trust April." he breathed out.

"I don't trust her either." I pursed my lips.

There was a long silent until Neil spoke up. "I really love her." he said as he stared at the wall. "I can't believe that I went from that playboy surfer, to this. Someone who can give up his life for her. If something happens to her..." Neil his eyes filled with tears.

"Hey, Neil, no. Come here." I told him and he stood up and sat on the bed.

As soon as he sat on the bed I hugged him tightly. "Don't worry, Neil. We'll find her, and she'll be fine." My own eyes filled with tears.

The moment I said that, my phone started ringing and I had to let go of Neil. I looked at my phone screen and saw that someone was calling me with an unknown number. I frowned and picked up.

"Hello?" I said still holding Neil his hand.

"Hi, Hadley." I heard April her voice.

"You bitch! Tell me where the fuck you kept Margaret!" I clenched my jaw.

"What's the hurry, sweetheart? I just called to ask how you are. But as you know, I really don't give a fuck about you." I heard the smirk in her voice.

"Well breaking news, bitch. I don't fucking care about your ugly anaconda face either." I spat at her.

Does she really think that her words can hurt me?

"Whatever. I just really called you to tell you that later you will receive a text from me, which will include the location. But you know me Hadley—"

"What's the catch?" I asked her and she chuckled evilly.

"Now that's a good girl. The catch is that Neil and you are going to be the only ones who will come and get Margaret. I have men all over the place, Hadley, so don't you dare act smart with me." she said and hung up.

"What did she say?" Neil asked as soon as he phone left my ear.

I didn't say anything, just stared at the phone, waiting for the text. Neil kept on asking me, but I remained silent. My phone buzzed and I opened the text with the location and the time.

"Tell me, Hadley!" Neil his voice raised a little.

"Get ready. We're getting Margaret." I said.
