Chapter 48

• Hayley
• I watch Xander’s Range rover until I can’t see it anymore. I think I’m in shock. I lift my hands and wipe my wet face with my fingers. I slowly turn and walk up the main staircase to my room. What have I done? My reasons for not telling him don’t even make sense anymore. The tears start rolling down my face again as I stare into the distance with unseeing eyes. Oh God what have I done?
• Xander is the best thing that has happened to me. How could I have screwed this up so badly? I have to make this right. I grab my phone and dial Xander’s cellphone number. As the phone rings in my ear, I hear Xanders ringtone and turn to see his cellphone charging on the side table. He didn’t take his phone with him.
