XAVIER'S POV
Meeting Nicole had always been something I had imagined before. Her being thrilled about seeing me and we make up after shedding a few tears. Or it's me meeting her out of nowhere and recognizing each other after staring for a few seconds.
In all of those insights, I always had the courage, I needed to meet her again. But, as I stood in front of her apartment, my heart couldn't beat any faster. I could hear my blood pounding in my ears as I fisted my palms, to get a grip on myself.
I had to do this. I couldn't let any more of my life go on without her as a part of it. I wanted this void out. And I didn't care whether this void left because she returned or because she left forever.
I had to free myself from these chains.
I turned to Ophelia and saw that she was already looking at me. She smiled encouragingly, motioning me to knock.
