Chapter 13

Edward's POV

I called Antonio.

"Huh? Who's this?" he said.

Oh yeah, we haven't talked in years.

"Edward," I said.

"Edw- oh Eddie! How do you remember me today?" he said.

"Send Ivy here," I said.

"Why the hell will I do that?"

"Antonio, Andrew... He... He got in an accident" I said.

"Yea- wait. What?"

"He needs Ivy," I said.

"What? How? How did he get into that?"

"I know you don't care and I know you aren't interested. So just send her girl here"

"I thought he needed her to go away?" he said.

"He may n-not live," I said.

"What? What the hell!"

"Do this. At least do one thing for your brother" I said and ended the call.

Please, Andrew just hold on. Once Ivy comes, I know you'll survive.

For her.

Because that's love.

Ivy's POV

I had locked myself in this room from the day I heard about him being shot.

I don't believe it.

HE'S alive.

I can feel it.

I can feel him.

I can feel us.

You aren't leaving that easily, AL.

I'll bring you back.

You push me away, then I'll come to you.

If one day I can't come, you have to come.

I know you aren't dead. You're alive. I know you loved me. I know it wasn't fake. I know you fucking risked your life for me. I know you love me and I love you too.

Just one more time.

One more chance.

Give me one more chance.

I laid in my bed with tears dried, I haven't left the room. My father tried his best to get me out of the room, every time I said I needed time. He even broke the door once, I ran away from home then.

I need some time.

To trust my instincts.

To trust that he's alive.

And he loved me.

My father also believes that he's dead.

But no he's not.

He can't.

He's my hero.

Our story can't end before being started.

No, just can't.

Suddenly my phone started ringing. I ignored it as always.

But it rang again.

And again.

I picked it up.

"I'm bus-"

"AL is alive" that voice caught my attention.

He was my... kidnapper?

"What?" I asked.

"AL is alive and is in Russia. I can take you there" He said and the call ended.

I can take you there?

Am I so foolish to go with my kidnapper?

But what life are you living Ivy?

Isn't it better to die?

Either he is lying, that means you'll die.

Or he isn't lying, it means you'll get your AL.

You've risked many things for me, I can also, AL.

I got up from the bed and left the house. My father asked me and I told him I'm going to work.

I left the place and went to the nearest park. I messaged that number my location and in three minutes, a car arrived.

The person sitting inside was the kidnapper himself.

I remember his name... J.

"Sit on the back seat," he said to me through the window. I nodded and sat on the seat as he started driving. We reached the airport and then headed toward Russia.

_____________________________________________

I reached Russia. He left me in front of a hospital saying that I will have to meet a man in front of Ward Number 761. His name would be Edward. I hurried my way to the hospital and found a man. 

I went to him and he looked at me with confusion.

"Are you Edward?" I asked him. He nodded.

"And you?" he asked.

I didn't feel that he was dangerous.

"Ivy," I said.

"Andrew- I mean AL... Do you know him?" he asked.

"AL? Yes! Yes! Where is he..?" I asked suddenly crying.

"Inside," he said. As I was about to go. He stopped me.

"Ivy. You need to know something" he said. I looked at him.

"He... He is not in a good state. Support him, mentally and emotionally. You can save him, only you" and with that, he left. I was crying, but mental support means I have to be stable.

I went inside.

How handsome. I have never seen his face but I can definitely feel him.

I sat beside him and took his hand.

"Now. I'm here, you'll be fine" I said.
