Chapter 11

Sadie Wilde

POV

I am dressed as casually as possible. The plan is to get our nails done first then go shopping. The guys will get us when we get near the food court. Dante got permission from the mall to do this thanks to my uncle.

But that’s not what’s playing on my mind right now. No what’s on my mind right now is that Beck kissed another woman, and it ticked me off. it freaking ticked me off. this unexplainable rage filled me. I have no idea why, I don’t know why I’m angry; why was I so angry? Why did I feel the need to hide it?

“Sadie?” Tia brings me out of my thoughts.

“Yeah?” I frown.

“We’re here…” she nods toward the parking lot.

I look around to see we’re indeed at the mall.

I nod taking my backpack out of the backseat and get out of the car putting it on.

“So what’s got you in such a pissy me mood.” Tia asks.

I shrug my shoulders. “I don’t know I’m just not feeling myself today…” I lie.

It was embarrassing that I am upset about a simple drunken kiss. Why am I still

    The next morning... "So how was it? Did she say yes?" Beck gives me a kiss on my shoulder while spooning me from behind. I smile opening my eyes. “Yeah, it was beautiful. she cried…” I say softly I turn on my stomach to look at him. “You’re really happy for them, aren’t you?” he asks. I nod. I fold my arms in front of me and lay my head on my arms. “Yeah, she deserves to be happy. No one in the world deserves it more than she does.” I say softly. Tia gave up her life to follow me to Chicago, this is exactly what she needs to be with the man she loves. He groans. “Oh God they’re going to be extra lovey dovey now, right?” he asks. I burst out laughing. “Oh God you’re right.” “You look good naked. A guy can get used to coming home to his girl naked in bed coming back from a shift.” He blurts out. I pause… home? What the fuck? No, no. don’t tell me he has feeling for me? I shake that thought out of my mind. “Do you really think they’ll stay together?” he asks me “We’ll see. I

    Chapter 13One week later…Sadie WildePOVIt’s been a week since Beck took his things and left. True to his word his brothers came later that day and picked up all of his shit. Yet it felt like they were taking mine. It felt like they were taking a piece of me with them. I have no idea how to explain what that felt like that. I have no idea why Beck wanted to end things. Everything was going great. Better than great, until he went to sleep at his parents’ place and things changed. His older brother was oddly cold to me. Does he hate me? Is that why Beck ended things? But he didn’t even know about me… I’m so freaking confused and stuck in my own head.That is it, it has been confirmed, I am losing my damn mind, I can’t stop thinking about Beckett King. The hot firefighter, the sweetest guy I’ve ever come into contact with, I’ve never met another guy who is as sweet and as caring as he is. sometimes it feels so unreal how can anyone be like that.My bedsheets still smell like him, so I

    Chapter 14Beckett KingPOVIt’s been a week since my hearts been shattered into pieces. I miss her, I miss holding her in my arms as we watch her Anime together, I miss playing on my Xbox while she sits on my lap on Instagram.The thing I miss the most is waking up with her in my arms. The way it feels when she’s close. I’ve been actively avoiding her for the last week, making sure I never work a shift with her on the ambulance van, I’m either with Smith or Gracie.I sit on the second floor looking down at the guys cleaning the rig. the ambulance van got called out to a call a while ago and they’re waiting to clean that next.Dante comes over and sits beside me. “Fuck I’m so fucking tired…” he slumps down looking up at the ceiling.I lay as well looking up. “Don’t I know it.”We do not speak again, just lay there in silence. I frown and look at the time on my watch. I sit up and look at the ground floor. Sadie them left three hours ago, why aren’t they back.“Hey, have you heard from

    Chapter 15Beckett KingPOVHearing Sadie was okay, she just has a mild concussion, I could finally breathe easier. But I couldn’t stop the guilt from setting in, if I was actively trying to avoid her, I would have noticed she wasn’t back sooner. She has a concussion because of me.She gets to go home today. Smith and Russo will be stating with her, until she’s okay.I’m at my parents’ house because Damon and Jess requested to see us. So here we are all sitting in their living room. even Jessica’s mother Nash is here. I don’t want to be here, I would much rather be with Sadie making sure she was okay, but I don’t think it would be right of me to be there not after how we ended things. I doubt she trusts me to look after her now. not that she cares or has asked for me.“So yesterday I went for a check-up. We found out the gender of the baby. Damon didn’t want to know, but I was so excited I couldn’t help but tell him.” Jessica says excitedly. She reminds me so much of herself when she

They could have killed us, I could have died if they really wanted to hurt us, I would have been hurt a lot worse than what I was.When I woke up my first thought was not how lucky I was, my first thought was where Beckett was. My last thought before they knocked me out was always if I would ever see him again.But it’s been a whole day and I haven’t seen Beckett yet, everyone from out station has been over to check on me but Beckett.Dante told me they only realized something was wrong because Beckett realized we were gone too long. He searched for us everywhere, he even asked for help from his brothers to look for us.They haven’t found the men who raided the ambulance van, but I don’t think they’ll ever find them. that was a planned raid that much I know; from the look of the parking lot they planned down to a tee. the fact that they signal jammers was just as alarmi

    Chapter 17Beckett KingPOVStanding in front of Sadie’s apartment reminds me of the first time I visited her place, it was the reason for the current pain in my chest. The reason I had an embarrassing panic attack in front of my older brother yesterday.He is never going to let me live that down. The fact that he needed to rope Axel into helping me is what made it even worse. Axel would not stop teasing me this morning. The worst way to wake up believe me. what surprised me most was how worried my father was, Damon told me he sat by my side the entire night.So why am I here right now? Why am I visiting the woman who is the reason for that pain? Because I am a damn sucker for punishment. I almost turned and left ten times already. Why do I feel this way? Why am I even here? why do I still want to be close to her even if she wants nothing to do with being with me.I sigh and walk into her building, I greet her doorman like I always did, everyone is friendly as if they don’t know my he

I wasn’t really in the mood, I can finally return to work tomorrow and Beckett can finally stop avoiding me, he hasn’t returned a single one of my calls or messages.“Come on, don’t be such a party pooper.” She pouts.Dante kisses her lips, and she smiles at him.I’m kind of annoyed with them right now, especially since it seems Beck is going to say no to me. They’re acting all lovey dovey, before this wouldn’t annoy me but for some reason its ticking me off.I change the subject and ask Dante about what’s happening at the Station. He tells me everything is going well, the guys are working doubles, so they always have one of them on the ambulance because of what happened to us.“Chief says they’re trying to work on a system to stop hijackings, or a better system that alerts police when an ambulance vans GPS goes offline.” D

We’ve been working on getting these guys for months.

Listening in on my phone call. She thinks I didn’t notice her behind me when she tried to back away? I don’t know how much she heard, but the way she rushed out of here, I knew she knew I wanted to kill Sadie. She couldn’t live.

You know those kinds of thoughts.“Yo, Axel check this out.” Lucy calls from across the room. I look over and see her eyeing her computer screens.I walk over. “What’s up?” I asked her.“I found this guy. He dated five of the victims.
