Chapter 47 (Andrew's POV)
I was standing in front of the hospital for more than 2 hours already.
In the meantime rain started pouring like crazy, but I didn't care.
I was still trying to accept the fact that I've lost Vicky.
I recognized Nik from one and only picture she had of him. It was a picture taken at her birthday party a year or two ago and there were all her friends, her parents and also that asshole.
I was trying so fucking hard to understand why she would go with him but there was no point.
I always came up empty handed.
I had no idea what was going on.
Suddenly a car stopped in front of me.
I lifted my head only to see Knox coming out of the car.
"You idiot, why are you standing in the middle of the parking lot while it's pouring like crazy? And why didn't you pick up your phone? Where is Vicky? Is everything alright?"
I looked at my best friend. I didn't want to ruin his happiness but I had to get everything off my chest. Damn it hurts like a bitch.
"She is gone. She went with Nik. We just found out we are having twins and while I went to get the car, she went with him. She even kissed him in front of my eyes. I can't believe what I'm about to say but she's just like Shawna."
A sharp slap landed on my face and it stunned me into shocked silence. When I turned around to see who it was I could barely believe my eyes.
There in front of me stood sweet Jessy with a murderous look on her face.
"Now you listen to me, very careful asshole, because if you will still insist on your story after my words, I will send you to Scotland all by myself are we clear?!"
I couldn't get a single word out of my mouth so instead I just nodded my head.
After my confirmation she pointed a finger straight to my chest.
"Do you really believe Vicky would go with her ex after everything she told you about him? Or maybe you need some more information? He used her like a doll, ever since they were in high school he used her, he convinced her to not finish high school, that she needs to be a stay at home girlfriend and that education is something she doesn't need. He beat her, cut her and who knows what else he did to her. If I remember correctly he even raped her at one drunken moment. He controlled her whole life, turned her away from every friend she had, he isolated her, locked her inside his house, and we still have no idea what happened on that gruesome day when she ended up in a hospital. She had bruises all over her body, many broken bones and she had a huge hole not cut but a hole made by glass on her leg that almost cost her her own life.
But what's worse is that she can't even remember how she got it! And after everything I've just told you, are you still sure you want to believe she went with him willingly? Think hard about it, because one answer brings you back into my good grace and the other will get you a one way ticket to Scotland!"
She was red in the face from anger and her long speech but if I think about her words really hard I can see she does have a point. But one thing was still nagging me in my mind.
"How do you explain their kiss to me than oh miss so clever?!"
She rolled her eyes at me.
"Are you serious? I can swear on my mothers grave that he forced her somehow. Didn't you read any of his psycho messages? And I thought you knew Vicky better than that. She would do anything to protect people she loves. Maybe he threatened you or her babies, or maybe he played again on the card he has her parents. When you were at the appointment I tried to get ahold of both of you to tell you that they called. They are safe but something came up and they won't be back for another week."
All the color got drained of my face.
She was right!
Vicky would do anything to protect someone she loved.
And when I thought better I could remember seeing tears on her face.
And those final words she mouthed my way.
I tried really hard ro get the picture.
And I managed to get the words she said.
And it pinched me directly in my heart.
I love you.
"I need to get my girl back. Will you guys help me please? And Jessy I am so sorry for being an idiot. Can you forgive me?"
In the next moment she hugged me and gave me a brilliant smile.
"I know you are not an idiot. You just need some help sometimes to see the real picture. Now let's get to Vicky's apartment to get changed and I think I have an idea where he might have her. Boys, it's time we get down to business."
"It's time I get my woman back and tell her I love her too."
