It's complicated

34:

It's been weeks since I saw Xavier. It seems as though him and Emma have gotten closer. Her bump has also grown a bit bigger.

Donovan has come around more frequently. I heard a knock on the door and got up to answer it.

"(Donovan) Hey beautiful."

"Why didn't you warn me you were coming over? I could of gotten dressed better."

"What's wrong with the way you're dressed?"

"I look like crap."

"Nonsense you look so beautiful. I like you in your sweats."

"What's in the bag?"

"Take out. You hungry?"

"Yeah I was actually just about to cook something."

"Well then I guess I'm just in time."

So he came in and we ate. I switched the tv on and he snatched the remote from me. I protested against him.

"Hey that's not fair. I was gonna put a movie on."

"I'll pick the movie and you're in charge of the popcorn."

"How about you make the popcorn and I pick the movie."

We were bickering back and forth until he eventually agreed for me to pick the movie. I was pleased with myself I won.

We weren't even half way into the movie when he fell asleep on my chest. He looked so peaceful. It was around about one in the morning when my phone rang.

Who the hell would have the urge to call me this late? And more importantly why would they call. I pick up the phone and see Emma's name. Why the hell is she phoning me this late?

If she needs something she should call Xavier. He can run around doing things for her. I declined the call and went back to watching my movie.

My phone rang and I declined it again. What's her problem why does she keep calling? My phone buzzed and I saw a text from Emma. I was gonna ignore it but Xaviers name caught my attention.

"Please pick up your phone. It's urgent. It's about Xavier. Can you please come over. He's going crazy and I don't know how to control him."

I jumped up and grabbed my keys. Donovan woke up and asked me where I was going.

"It's nothing don't worry. My mom needs something. I have to go and see if she okay."

"Okay. Be safe."

I got in my car and drove to his place. My mind was over analyzing every possible situation. What was wrong? Why was he going on like that?

I reach his house in no time and run inside. There's glass everywhere and Emma's crying.

"Where is he?"

"Claire. I'm so glad to see you."

"I don't care. Where is he?"

"Upstairs."

I run upstairs and opened the door. He's in the room busy smashing things.

"Xavier."

"Fuck off Emma. You know I think it's better if you leave."

I turn around and head back downstairs to tell Emma to leave.

"Emma I think it's better if you leave."

"I'm not leaving Xavier here alone."

"His not alone I'm here. That's why you phoned me because you can't control him so leave. Believe me it's better that way. I've seen him angry before and if you get in the way you might get hurt."
