Chapter 150
My head is so heavy, but I’m better than how I was thirty minutes ago. Everything seems foggy and the last thing It remember is somebody putting something over my mouth and hose while I was on my way to the bathroom, then everything went black.
I woke up after God knows how long at a doctor’s office with Aaron and Caroline by my side. Apparently, I was lucky enough because Aaron’s late arrival made him see that I was about to get kidnapped, and he stopped the guy who wanted to kidnap me at the parking lot. He had to choose between helping me out and chasing the guy, so he chose the former.
He took me to the doctor’s office at the stadium to check on me and called Caroline to be with me. Soon, my parents followed. When they arrived, Caroline left after making sure that I was fully awake and somewhat okay. She said that she needed to assure the rest that I was fine. Dad is currently standing outside, making a phone call, but it’s easy to tell that he is very worried.
I didn’t see who tried to kidnap me and according to Aaron, it was a bit dark in the parking lot. When he shouted at the guy who was carrying me, while rushing to his car, he panicked and dropped me on the ground before rushing away.
“I have already informed the police, and somebody is coming to take your statements, then they will check the cameras and coordinate with the university’s security,” Dad says as he walks back inside the room.
“Can I leave? I feel fine,” I ask, looking at everyone.
“Let’s just wait for the police to take your statement first, then we can leave,” Mum tells me, and I nod.
“Can you please check and see if we won?” I request, looking at them. As if on cue, the door opens and Silas walks inside the room followed by Caroline.
He seems out of breath and anxious. What has Caroline told him exactly?
“Did we win?” I ask, hoping the answer is yes.
“We won,” He breathlessly says as he approaches me. “Come here.” It takes him less than a second to hold me in his arms. I take in a shaky breath as I wrap my arms around him. He tightens his hold around my body, and I smile, longing for the sense of comfort his embrace has always given me.
I look at my Mum and she winks at me before taking everyone out of the room, leaving me alone with Silas.
“You should be celebrating with your teammates, Silas. I’m fine,” I tell him. I don’t want him to miss out on anything because of me.
“Do you think I will be able to celebrate while knowing you almost got kidnapped?” he says as we slowly untangle ourselves from the hug. His hand is still on my back.
“I’m okay, I swear. I want to leave, but we’re just waiting for the police, then I will leave,” I try to convince him, but it looks like he’s not having it.
He looks down for a moment and stares at what I’m wearing. I look down too and blush, realizing that he can now see my jersey. It has his number on it. I had it covered with a jacket at first, but when I first woke up after Aaron brought me here, my body was so hot, so I took my jacket off.
“You’re wearing my number.” He grins, making me laugh.
“I’m wearing your number.” I nod. “Good game, captain.” His smile grows when I say that, and I wonder how stupid I was to ruin
my relationship with him. I wish I had been there to witness the celebrations. I should have never gone to the bathroom. Had I stayed in my place, I wouldn’t have caused any hassle to everyone around me.
“Thank you.
I knew we were going to win anyway.” He shrugs with confidence, causing me to roll my eyes.

Chapter 150
“I just love how humble you are,” I point out, making him chuckle.
“But it’s not about my humbleness, Rosie. I simply knew we were going to win when I spotted you, because I never lost a game you attended,” he says, making me look down as I smile.
“I remember.” My voice is low. I remember a lot of things now. I’m not sure if I have remembered everything or not, but I do know that I remember enough. Enough to make me regret every single décision I have made ever since the accident. Enough to make me wish I could turn back time and never let Silas go.
“You got your memory back, right?” Silas asks with a change in his tone. I don’t know how to describe it, but I do know that it sounds warm and soothing.
“I remember a lot of things now.” I bring myself to look into his eyes again. When my eyes lock with his eyes, my heartbeats start to quicken.
“Why haven’t you told me?” he asks. I can lie to him. I can tell him that I didn’t find the right time to do it. I can tell him that I have been busy. However, I can’t convince myself to do that. I’m tired of hiding a lot of things from him. It doesn’t feel right.
“Because I have caused you enough damage and I’m trying to do anything I can to help you move on from what I have done,” I whisper, looking down. My heart is already heavy, and my eyes are watery.
He starts to say something but gets interrupted by a knock on the door. My parents walk inside with a police officer.
“We will talk later.” Silas kisses my forehead, before standing up. “I’ll wait for you outside.” I nod and watch him as he exits the room.
Luckily, it doesn’t take long for the police officer to take my statement and once he’s done, I get out of bed, ready to leave. When I walk out of the room, I find Silas waiting for me. “I’m all good now. You should go party with your teammates. The girls already told me about the party that gets thrown when the team wins at the team’s house. You shouldn’t miss it,” I tell
him.
“Are
you
all good now?” he asks, and I nod. “Do you think you can come with me for a little while?”
“We were planning on taking her home with us. We don’t think it’s safe for her to be on her own after what happened,” Dad
says.
“I promise I won’t leave her on her own,” Silas tells them. “If you want me to bring her home afterwards, I can do that. I just want her to have fun.”
ium and Dad look at each other for a moment and I see Mum giving Dad a small nod.
“She’s safe with Silas. He won’t leave her on her own,” Mum assures Dad who finally nods. “It will be late to drive her to our place at night. Maybe you guys can come over tomorrow. Just lock the door of your apartment well.”
“I can stay with her and sleep on the couch,” Silas offers. If we end up fully making up, he won’t be sleeping on the couch, and I think my parents aren’t naïve to believe that he will take the couch.
“Sounds like a good idea.” Mum nods, but the sly smirk on her face doesn’t escape my notice.
After hugging me goodbye, my parents leave, and Silas and I make our way to his car.
I put on my jacket on my way out and Silas doesn’t miss the chance to wrap one arm around my shoulders as we walk together.

“Silas,” I reluctantly say, and he looks at me. I don’t know if we’re officially together or not, but even if he decides that we’re better off apart, I want him to know this. “You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me.” My heart races as I words, but he deserves to know that he is one of a kind.

He stares at me for a second and I worry if I have crossed a line then swiftly, his arm falls to my waist and he lifts me up like I weigh nothing and brings me in front of him. I wrap my legs around his torso like we used to do and he brings his other arm around my body.
“You don’t know how much I miss you
cupcake,” he whispers before crashing his lips into mine.
