XAVIER'S PRECIOUS ✔ {Editing In Process}

SHOCKED.

XAVIER'S POV

''We're sorry but she couldn't make it... Her breathing was normal at first, but it suddenly stopped....'' He spoke with sympathy.

And me?

I was broken.

Again.

I just couldn't believe that this was happening to me again. This was my time to be happy again, I was, but someone came and took her away from me again.

''NOOO!!'' Mom yelled and covered her face with her hands.

''Alison!'' Olivia came running and hugged her crying body, which was now on the floor.

Erica's mother didn't move, she stood there like a statue. Just like me.

''Xavi uncle...why is grandma crying?'' Annabelle tugged my pants and looked at me with her big blue eyes. I didn't know what to say to her. Glad for the intrusion, Oliva spoke, ''Come here Anna" and she took her away from me.

''Xavier....'' I heard Conner from behind me. He put his hand on my shoulder in a bid to comfort me but it just made me want to cry even more.

''What did I ever do to deserve this?'' I whispered.

Conner didn't say anything but pulled me into a tight hug instead.

''No brother, you didn't do anything, please...get a hold of yourself...''

I stood there trying to process what was happening, this...this can't happen...right? It has to be a dream and it is just taking time for me to wake up. I just want to have her in my arms smiling. I want her to tell me that everything is going to be okay. I want to hear her calling me names when I act like a jerk. I want her to come back, she's mine, to cherish, to love. I need her support.

"Xavier..." I heard a soft voice, beside me. I looked to my right and saw Alisha. Her eyes were red and puffy. She had been crying. She is crying.

"Xavier...there's...there's something wrong..." She whispered as she held Erica's purse in her hands.

I didn't answer, I couldn't for the fear that I would start crying again.

"What do you mean?" Conner asked. I mentally thanked him for doing so.

"This..." She had 2 black envelopes in her hand.

"We were both sitting in a cafe after we finished dress shopping and I went to place our orders. When I came back I saw her stuffing papers in her purse. When I asked her what's wrong, she...she ran away. She was sweating and she looked terrified," She took a breath before continuing, "I knew something was wrong, and I tried to follow her but she was too fast. When I got a call from Olivia about Erica's accident, I came here. And the first thing I did was look for her purse...and I found it, and this...this is really disturbing..." Her eyes were wide with alarm.

What must have been in these envelopes for her to be so scared? I stretched my hand out and took it from her.

"Xavier, honey, please come with me, we can read everything later, Erica...Erica needs us..." Mom held my hand and gave it a small squeeze.

"Mom...I.I need to know what's in them..." I whispered to her. It was like my voice had been lost somewhere.

"I know baby, I know. Give me the papers, I'll read it and tell you everything later, right now we need to finish some formalities." She persisted.

"Okay," I nodded. But before I could hand the envelopes to my mom, Alisha snatched the envelopes, took out the papers and began reading.

Dear Erica Dixon,
