ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Cross Pov

It took quite a while to get to the hospital and thankfully when we got there, there were doctors to attend to the girl, Anna, she was able to tell me her name and via her phone, I called her patent, I currently stood at the waiting area with Dean, her parents were on their way and until they get here, we can’t leave, the tike was already past seven pm, my phone would be probably ringing nonstop, but I left it in the car.

“You should go on ahead, Cross, don’t keep everyone waiting, I will wait till her parents are here then I will come,”

Dean said coming to stand beside him.

“You sure?”

I asked, Dean, didn’t know his way around Arizona so I was skeptical about leaving him here.

“Yes, bro, and you might wanna change your clothes, you have bloodstains over you,”

“I will ask them to get me some clothes when I get there, please don’t forget to call me,”

I said as I stood up to leave, he followed me down through the hallway to where we packed.

“Okay, later Dean,”

I said as I got into the car, the driver who has been waiting for us started the car and we zoned out of the hospital leaving Dean behind.

“Your phone has been ringing, you might want to check it, your mom called my line and I told her what happened,”

“Alright, thanks,”

I said and checked my phone, I had over twenty-five missed calls, from my mom, brother, and dad, I called my brother back because I didn’t want mom and dad going off on me.

“Hey, bro, where are you?”

I asked when Max picked up.

“We are at the Stevenson’s mansion, we just got here literally, we were waiting for you to show up at home but you didn’t, and we couldn’t reach you until mom spoke to the driver who told us where you guys were,”

“Yeah, bro, I am on my way now, could you hit me up with what’s going on there?”

I asked wanting to grab the atmosphere of where I am headed to.

“Nothing is going on yet, just a bunch of people moving up and down, you lucky bitch, can’t believe you get Kathrine, that bitch is hella hot,”

My brother said, I couldn’t deny it either, she was hot, but saying I was lucky wasn’t right though, cuz as hot as I see her, I don’t think she is my type, pampered kids tend to want too much.

“That’s what you think, anyway can you help me get someone to get me some proper clothes, mine is currently covered in blood,”

“Don’t worry, mom already covered that,”

“Okay, then, I will be there in ten minutes,”

“Alright,”

He said and hung up.

We got to the house, about ten minutes later and I called him to get me the clothes but he wasn’t taking his calls,

“Could you try and get to it, mom?”

I asked the driver who was patiently sitting in the car with me, I didn’t know him because he started working for my parents recently, he too couldn’t reach her so I just or to risk it and enter the house as I am, the house was filled with people and they were all partying, only a few noticed a blood-stained me, and the looked at me with curious eyes, I didn’t mind as I found my way towards the house, but a security guy stopped me halfway in.

“Sir, who are you, and why are you here?”

He asked, I guess he didn’t know who I was, so I turned to him to reveal my identity but I could find my wallet which contained my identity card.

“I am the one getting engaged,”

I said but he seemed not to believe me, because he looked at my blood-stained clothes, and back to my face, I should have asked the driver to come with me, but I didn’t think my ID will be a problem, I tried calling my family again but no one was taking their calls.

“Sir, I am sorry but you can’t be here, you need to leave right now,”

He said, I wanted to punch him, I understand that he was doing his job but he didn’t even bother to confirm what I was saying.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Dude, I just told you I am the one getting engaged, do you have a problem comprehending that?”

I asked in anger.

“Sir, you will please leave now or I will have to drag you out he said already radioing his fellows, I just stood there wanting to punch something or someone, I didn’t want to be here in the first place, maybe I would have just stayed at the hospital with Anna, maybe that was God’s way of saving me, seriously contemplating leaving, I turned around, but someone called out my name stopping my leaving, turned around and saw my brother walking towards me, he wore a suit, that guy never wears a suit, he was always on casual wears and makes fun of me every time because I am almost always on the suit, for once he looked matured

“I have been trying to reach you but you weren’t taking your calls neither was mym and dad,”

I said as he moved closer.

“Is he someone you know, young master?”

The security man asked him and once again I felt like delivering a punch to his face.

“Yes, he is my brother,”

“Oh, sorry sir, for the harassment,”

Thank God he at least knew it was harassment, but I didn’t bother to acknowledge him.

“Sorry, we didn’t take your calls we are having a bit of a situation here,”

He said.

“What’s going on?”

I asked as he guided me towards the main house.

“Well, Kathy went to get pain reliever and she has not come back yet,”

“Who is Kathy?”

I asked wondering who she was and why her not coming back from getting drugs should cause a situation.

“Really? He asked, stopping in front of me and forcing his hands, he looked almost as big as me but I was still bigger.

“Should I know her?”

“Of course you should, she is the one you are getting engaged with and your wife to be,”

He disclosed and realization dawn on me, so the short form of her name is what he called.

“Oh, but why is that a situation though?”

“Bro, I can’t believe you are asking me that, he has been gone for a whole hour before we got here and her still not being here by now only means trouble, don’t you get it?”

“I don’t, wait, you mean she might have run away?”

I asked suddenly not liking the idea.

“Yeah, that’s what I think but mom said that I shouldn’t say that to her, that Katherine is a good girl,”

He said.

“Well, why not try to reach her?”

I asked as we walked into a room that I presumed was the guess room given to us,”

“That’s why I am sure she might have run away, she cannot be reached,”

“What? So what am I doing here then? Why didn’t you tell me this when you called so that I didn’t have to waste my time coming here?”

I asked getting angry all over again.

“Well, the thing is, we just got here then and didn’t know what was going on, most people still don’t know, her family members are still trying to reach her, one thing is the driver that took her is not yet back so they have a little hope even though he too is not picking his calls,”

He explained.

“Where are mom and dad? I need to speak with them and grab what’s really going on, I hope it is not what I think because, I will really be mad if it turns out that I stopped everything that I was going, got on a plane, and came here for nothing,”

I said trying as much as possible to control my growing temper, no need to be tensed yet, maybe she had something to do or maybe she was stuck somewhere.

“There are at the other room, you just get changed and I will go get mom, no need for you to go over there yet, and please try to control your temper,”

He said and left, I changed into something new and texted Dean to ask him if Anna’s parents were around yet, but he texted back that there still weren’t, said there was another accident on the way and they were stuck in traffic, I wanted to call and ask him which area but then my mom and brother walked in.

“Son,”

My mom called, she looked tired and stressed out, almost going into panic mode.

“Mom? What’s going on? Is what Max said true?”

I asked.

“Hmm, so we don’t know yet, her driver just got back without her and her family are speaking with him we just have to wait and see,”

My mom said sitting on the bed.

“Wow, mom? Is this what I came back for? I hope it not, because I will say that I told ya,”

I said, trying as much as possible to keep my cool.

“I can’t sit here, so if you don’t mind guiding me to where her parents her I need to speak with them,”

I said already walking out of the room, I heard my mom and brother call my name as they followed behind me…
