He used to hate her

Chapter 41

All of a sudden, my life became completely different. I went to work and spend the remaining day with Xander. Xander started remembering some memories and I'm so glad to help him. The day passed by, the more we loved each other. Since Veronica's got transferred to another department, Sofia seems happy. She can be able to learn more about her work. When it comes to me, Henry helped me a lot in work. In a matter of time, Henry became my closest friend. Almost equal to Sofia.

Everything is going great in my life. I started reading a book alone since Xander went to therapy. It's so nice to read a book when I could watch the rain pouring outside. I felt the cold breeze touched my face with the windows open. I would like to go outside and enjoy this moment.

I wish Xander could be here. He went four hours ago. The therapy won't take this much time. Why is she late? It's already 9:00 pm. Suddenly, I felt anxious and called him. My phone rings and rings but he didn't attend. Should I visit the therapist house? Being unsure of what to do, I called Sofia.

" Hey, where are you? Did you saw Xander somewhere?" This is a stupid question.

" No. What's wrong, Maddie?"

" Xander hasn't returned home from the therapist house and he's not attending my call."

" Oh, I'm in a café near to the therapist house. Maybe, I will visit his house and check for Xander." I waited for half an hour, hoping he would show up. There might be a chance for Xander to be busy with office works.

Time passed by, Sofia isn't returning my call too. What should I do now? I feel like something is wrong. No, I shouldn't be stressed over a silly thing. I walked over to the balcony, watching the rain and the dark clouds.

I called Henry. He would defiently know where Xander is.

" Hey, Henry. Are you with Xander? I called him but he hasn't..." Henry interrupted me in half.

" Didn't Xander tell you?"

" Tell me what?"

" He...He called me and said he remembers me. He totally freaked out on the phone. He can't stay calm for a single minute. He simply said he remembers everything and..." Henry words made my heart beat faster in panic.

" And What? Where is he now? What did he say? I know his improvement was slow. How did he remember everything?"

" He didn't clearly explain anything to me, Madison. He acted like he was in a hurry. He said...that's all he said."

" Henry, you are clearly hiding something from me," I yelled, as he kept on hesitating and giving answers.

" He said he's going to meet Veronica. I assure you I didn't know why...." Henry's voice stopped in half as my hand lost the grip on my phone. It falls off and crashes.

" Oh, god, no," I shouted and looked down. No use in finding it. I broke it. I broke the new phone Xander bought me a week ago. But does it matter now? Xander remembers everything and he's going to visit Veronica. He promised me he will stay with me forever. I can't bear it if he broke my heart. I have to go. I have to find him.

An hour ago:

Sofia's POV:

I unlocked my phone and stood in front of the therapist house. Will Xander be here or not? But I know there's nothing to worry about. But Madison is getting stressed. I didn't ring the doorbell. The door is already wide open. I heard some glass shattering sound. The next minute, there's utter silence. I found a door opened. I can see two-person shadows.

I will be glad if the therapist didn't think that I'm a thief. I entered the room and found Xander on his knees. His hand is on the table. The shattered glass pieces are on the floor.

" What the hell is going on?" I spoke, looking at him while the therapist has a worried look on his face.

" I'm sorry for breaking the glass. I know I overreacted," Xander apologized.

" No. You didn't overreact. I know it will be hard. I dealt with a lot of people like you. I assure you, you aren't as bad as them."

" I will pay for the glass later," He replied still looking at the floor. No one bothered my arrival. Am I invisible to them?

" Xander? What's happening here? Madison is worried for you. Why didn't you attended her call?"

Xander looked at me and said my name. " Sofia?" This time he didn't call me as he knew me as Madison's friend. He calls me as he recognizes me. Shit. This is not possible. He can't remember everything in a flash. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

" Do you remember me?"

" I do. Not only you. I remember everything. I gotta go," Xander got up, picks his phone from the table and rushed outside. I'm not letting him go like this.

" Hey, where do you think you are going?" I yelled, blocking his way.

" I don't think I can talk with anyone. Move."

" Whether you like it or not, you are not leaving this place. I have something to tell,"

" I said I'm not in a place to deal with anyone, Sofia," Xander shouted. He could yell a lot more than this but I could behave more than that.

" You will regret it if you don't listen to you. It's about something that you don't know."

" I know everything. I have my memories back," he said. I have no idea what's going on in his mind. But he shouldn't like Madison. If he loves her, he won't leave her. I closed the door and faced him.

I never begged anyone in my life but I'm willing to do it for my friend.

" Please, let me talk to you. I don't know what's going on in your mind. But I can help you with it. Please, listen to me."

PRESENT:

Madison Grace:

I should have learned how to drive a car. Now, how am I going to find out. By walk? Do I have any other chance. I scolded myself and something caught my eyes. A man parking his scooter in his house.

" Excuse me, I need your scooter, please. I will return it as soon as I can. This is my house. It's urgent." I blabbered as he stared at me without any expression. His gaze shifted to my house.

" You own this mansion and you want a scooter?" He asked. Urgh...Does it really important now?

" I don't own this. This is my boyfriend's mansion. I want this scooter right now," I spoke as I hugged myself feeling cold. I'm already wet from the rain. But I can't sit still while Xander is out to find Veronica.

" Okay. Take it. Do you want a raincoat?" the man asked, giving his key and scooter.

" No," I said and thanked him and I'm on my way to the therapist house. It took me fifteen minutes to reach his house. I left the scooter and knocked on the door.

An older man with a beard opened the door. He's the therapist. Thank god, now he must have known something about Xander.

" Sorry for disturbing you. Do you have a session with Xander today? Is he still here or do you know where did he go? Your information will really be useful for me."

" Yes. I had a session with him. He almost ruined my room and gave me money to fix it. He just left my house five minutes ago,"

I'm late. He's gone. Where did he go? Did Sofia seen him or not? She's out of reach. My phone's broken. I can't contact Henry too. What am I going to do?
