Trying to be sneaky is like a twelve hour job I swear. Parking the car in the garage I made sure I didn't close it , just in case Xzavier's still up and wants to know where I been.

I went through the back door seeing as it was unlocked and I didn't have to use the key and make any noise. I think I'm starting to get good at this , I only have to go to the-

"Kitten"

Shit! I was almost up the stairs now I have to deal with this. Shoot me now.

"Hi baby" I said excitedly trying not to sound suspicious.

"Where were you autumn" He sighed and rubbed his face , I could tell he was stressed and from the numerous text and calls I've received from him since I've left I know he isn't happy with me right now.

"Well , I was hungry and you know how I get when I'm hungry. I brought you something back" I raised up the bag tying to brighten his smile but he still had that stern look upon his face.

"Autumn I-" thank you lord for phones , my phone cut Xzavier off from the speech he was about to give me. Without thinking I rushed and picked up eager to get from the conversation I was bound to have with Xzavier and his bitchy attitude.

"Hello" I said politely while Xzavier stood In front of me mouthing 'this isn't over' I rolled my eyes and looked down at the floor.

Of course he wouldn't let it go.

"...uh H-hi autumn this is Heather"

"Oh.. um hi?" I didn't know why she would call me , I never thought she would call me after all that's happened.

"I know your wondering why I'm calling and I have a good enough reason"

"Okay?" I said slowly wanting her to get to the point already instead of prolonging it.

"Matt has been... in an accident, he keeps asking for you so I thought you should know..." she trailed off.

I couldn't believe Matt was in an accident. Was it the night that me and Xzavier broke up? Is that why I haven't seen him since?

My mind was racing and my heart thumped in my chest, I didn't want him hurt even though he was being an ass at my party I will always care about his well-being.

"Is he okay?" My voice was full of worry and concern for Matt.

"I think you should come to the hospital... if you can , he's asking for you"

"Of course , I'll be right there" we hung up the phone. I wanted to know if he was alright but I couldn't deal with Xzavier right now , I know what he'll say if he knew I was going to see Matt but I couldn't lie to him.

I grabbed his keys once again but of course he stopped to ask me where I was going.

"Matt is in the hospital and he's asking to see me" I told him honestly, his face a an emotion in between anger and calm and I know how this could only end.

"Well he's okay he doesn't need to see you"

"But he was hurt Xzavier I just wanted to-"

"No autumn" his voice was stern and demanding but I wasn't going to back down, I mean when do I ever?

"I am Xzavier and that's final he would've did the same for me and as a-"

"As a what?! Because your nothing to him and you'll never be anything to him, have you forgot he was the one to ruined your birthday!" He was right but still I'm not going to hold that grudge on him , I wasn't going to hold any grudges with him because I know when I needed it he was always there.

"I know that but he's still a friend even if we've had our problems I can't just turn my back on him. I'm going and I'd love for you to come with me" I say with hopeful eyes , I knew if I would've went by myself it would just be another argument and I really didn't want that.

"Okay but only for a little while" I nodded and we headed out the door together.

This visit should be eventful.

****

We approached Matt's door where his parents were waiting around, I didn't know if I should just go right in or talk to them but I guess it's more respectful if I at least said something.

"Hi Mrs. Smith?" She turned around and embraced me into an unexpected hug , my hands stayed to my side as she cried on my shoulder. As much as I didn't want to I wasn't a cold hearted person so I hugged her back a little awkwardly but anything's better than nothing.

"I'm so glad you could make it"

"Me too , can I see him now?" I ask as we finally pull away from our hug.

"We" Xzavier quickly 'corrected' me. I gave him a side eye before looking back at Matt's parents.

"Of course you can sweetie" Matt's father told me before pulling me into his own bone crushing hug. I could tell Xzavier wanted to say something so bad but I don't know what's holding him back now , he usually doesn't even know what a filter is.

When he finally pulled away Xzavier and I opened the door to Matt's room. I was scared to see him damaged or worse but I was going to be a good friend if he needed me to be.

"Autumn?! you really came!" I smiled when I saw him laying in the bed , even though he looked weakened he didn't have a scratch on him from where I could see at least.

"Of course , how are you?" I say on a chair beside his bed , grabbing his hand in mine.

"I'm better now. You don't know how much I had to beg to finally see you , even the nurses said I wasn't ready for visitors" he gave a humorless laugh.

"That bad huh?" He nodded sadly but than his smile was back.

"I'm sorry I couldn't catch up with you to apologize after the party I was out of line an-"

"Yeah you were" I almost forgot that Xzavier even came, he stayed in front of the hospital door with his arms crossed over his chest while glaring at Matt.

"Xzavier stop it" I scowled him but he continued to glare at Matt.

"No , we are fine why does he want you to come to the hospital with him for?! It's not like you are friends or will ever be anything ever again. I love her and.....

"Xzavier"

".. and we're going to get married and after that our baby is going to be born, so no you will never have her because she's mine! I have this family not you! Never you!" I was stunned to say the least why was he acting so-

"Your one hell of an insecure person you know that" Matt challenged him , why can't these two just be cordial towards one another for at least another minute.

"I'm not insecure Your the delusional one , always thinking that she'll come back when in reality I make her happier than you could have ever done. This little charade that your pulling is just pathetic calling MY fiancé so that she can do what? Feel sorry for you because your laying in a hospital but I see right past it and I'll never let you take her away from me , that's my child growing inside of her and that's my ring that lays in her finger not yours"

"Hey guys that's enough" I said but Matt started up again.

Am I even in the same room as both of them , it feels like I'm a ghost watching them both go at it about me like why?!

"- how can you even put up with him autumn he's so insecure about himself and now your bringing a child into this don't let that baby go through this it's not healthy" he gave me a worried expression , I was about to comment but Xzavier beat me to it.

"YOU EVER BRING UP OUR DAUGHTER IN YOUR LIFE AND ILL KILL YOU! THAT'S A FUCKING PROMISE!" Xzavier was about to attack and before he did that I grab hold of his arm and tried my best to bring him out of the door , he couldn't go to jail and I couldn't let him beat the hell out of Matt who's already weak that just wasn't right.

"Autumn don't leave please, come back" Matt called out to me , I was furious but concerned for Matt. He provoked Xzavier but some of the things he said were true even if I don't want to believe it's true and now I had something I needed to think long and hard about.

"I have to go" I finally pulled Xzavier out the door and the building into the parking lot where he went insane trying his best to get back into the hospital.

"I'm going to kill him , he brought our daughter- ugh just stay in the car i can handle him"

"No Xzavier let's go home Okay... we can watch a movie and talk ,it doesn't matter but I don't want you getting in trouble"

"But he-"

"Think about our baby , don't do anything that you'll regret" I looked into his eyes that swarm with anger but I could see him calm down , it was so mesmerizing watching his mood change from his eyes.

He drives me crazy.

"Let's go home?" I ask still looking into his eyes for anger but I didn't find any.

"Okay" he kisses me softly before getting down on his knees in the parking lot and kissing my belly , telling our baby that he was sorry over and over again as I ran my hands through his soft hair. We must look like complete idiots standing like this to outsiders but to us this will forever be normal, I swear I love him everyday.

Only if I can get him and Matt from fighting in the mere future that would be nice.

I still have a lot of things to think about with me and Xzavier it that can be resolved. Can it?
