Her Saving Grace Chapter 55
Spring break finally arrived a week later and I did as planned and make the most of it. After all, it was only one week. Most students went home or went on a trip for the break, but I spent my time here. I didn't stay at the dorms though, I stayed at Carson's apartment. Luckily, I didn't have to leave Jasmine alone because she stayed with Eli.For the entire week, I either stayed in or most of the time, I hanged out with my friends and Carson.Now, it was Wednesday evening and I was currently situated in a booth at a diner with Carson beside me. Kevin had invited us and Lucas to the diner he and his girlfriend Tracy would frequently attend. Apparently, it was Karaoke Night and he wanted us to come. Jasmine wasn't here because she and Eli went on a trip today and won't be back until Friday.Kevin was currently on the small stage that they set up for karaoke, belting out the lyrics to I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys. Let me tell you, he wasn't bad. I shouldn't have been surpri

I woke up to find that it was now morning. I shifted a little to look at Carson who was still sleeping. I lay on the bed for a bit longer, with my arm wrapped around Carson, before I decided to get up. I removed my arm from around him and was about to get up from the bed when Carson stopped me. He pulled me back down on the bed and wrapped his arms around me, snuggling closer."No, don't go. Stay for a bit longer." He said, his voice husky and heavy with sleep.I tried turning in his arms to face him, which wasn't an easy task because of how tight he held on to me. "Carson, I have to get up." I said.I waited quietly for a while, but Carson didn't say anything nor did he released me. After a minute has passed, I looked down at him again. "Carson?" I whispered."I love you, babe." He mumbled barely audible.I smiled as I realized that he has indeed gone back to sleep. I always find it cute whenever he mumbles in his sleep. He never believes me though, when I informed him of this.I lay

Carson's POVOne thing I knew for sure. Oliver Ross is a guy who didn't do anything without a reason. The fact that he talked to Kayla, I knew he was trying to tell me something and I had no choice but to answer. He wanted to get to me and it worked.He was giving me a warning, letting me know that he knows her and can get her involved at any time. I feel myself getting angry again at the thought. The fact that he had the idea of using her to get to me made me want to punch him in the face. Punch him in the face so hard, he'd regret ever approaching Kayla.So, after careful consideration, I knew I had to fight him. I really had no interest in that but to keep Kayla out of his way, I'll do it. I'll do anything to keep her safe. Oliver was not a nice person and I knew what he was capable of. I'm not going to allow him to bring to action what he had planned in that twisted, psychotic head of his.So now, it was Friday evening and I was in my car driving to Larry's bar. Oliver would freq

Kayla's POV"I can't believe the break is up already," Jasmine said sighing heavily. It was currently Sunday night and she was on her bed laying on her stomach. Her head was rested on her folded arm and her foot was in the air. I was sitting on my bed with my back against the wall."I can't believe either," I replied. The week flew by really fast and now we were scheduled to go back to classes tomorrow.Jasmine and I were quiet for a while before she said. "At least we have the sorority's charity event and ball to look forward to.""Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It's this Saturday, right?""Yes. I'm actually looking forward to it. I hope we raise more funds than last year.""Me too." I replied, nodding my head in agreement. Every year, all the sororities would come together and put on a charity event, where we would sell different things or offer services to raise money for charity. It was a very big event where we would have a large turnout of people who gave us their full support. E

Saturday came and I was currently at Carson's apartment. I have been here since morning just hanging out with him and now I was sitting on his bed watching him as he got ready for his fighting match. It was now two o'clock, but he was getting ready early because he was going to meet up with his friends before they leave for the fighting arena.As Carson put his shirt on, he looked at me. "Would you be here when I get back?" He asked.I shook my head. "I have to get back to the dorms to get ready." I reminded him."Oh, the charity event is today right?" He asked and I nodded. "I'm really sorry that I won't be able to go with you." He added regretfully.I stood up from the bed and walked over to him and fixed his shirt collar. "Carson, it's okay. I know you would go if you could. Don't worry about it." I said honestly.Carson smiled at me, but my mind wasn't even on the charity event right now. Right now, my mind was on him and his fight. I was really worried about him and I know for su

Carson's POVThis place that Oliver had told me about was an old abandoned building on a backstreet of New York. People rarely go on this side of town because of dangerous activities that take place here. The building was not big but it was bigger than the place where I used to fight back home.I also noticed that the crowd was twice as large as I squeezed my way through the crowded stadium. The place was full of people talking and shouting loudly. I continue to make my way to a room that was set up for fighters to change.When I entered the room, I put my bag on a bench and changed as I only had fifteen minutes before I go on. When I was done changing, I sat down on the bench to wait. Suddenly, I heard the door opened and I turned around to see Oliver walking in. He noticed me and walked towards me."Well, I really didn't expect you to show." He remarked."If this is going to get you out of my life, then I want to get it over with."He smirked. "Feeling confident, are we?" Not in the

I kept my word and the following day, I was at Carson's apartment. We spent the entire day together enjoying each others' company and during that time, he had enlightened me on his match yesterday. I must admit, it sounded like it was an incredibly tough match.As the evening drew to a close, I gave Carson a massage as he had said that his muscles were sore from the fight. Now, it after six and I was lying on the couch with Carson's head on my lap. I was well aware that it was time for me to leave and get back to the dorms, but I wanted to stay here with Carson for a while longer."Your birthday is in three weeks, have anything special in mind that you want?" Carson asked breaking our comfortable silence."I've never really thought about it, but honestly there isn't anything that I want," I answered absently running my hands through his hair."Okay then. I'll just make it a surprise.""I love that idea." I agreed. We lapse into a comfortable silence again, until I break it. "I really

I felt numb.The chatter of the nurses and the doctors as they pass by me was distanced. The familiar beeping of hospital equipment, the ringing of telephones and the monotonous voices on intercoms were all drowned out. The scene around me was in slow motion and everything and everyone was a blur. All I could focus on and think about right now was Carson.The beating...The blood...The fast movements of the paramedics as they tried to keep him stable...His lifeless body...I closed my eyes tight as my hands, my feet; my entire body started to tremble again. I wrap my arms around my body as I began to feel cold. "Are you alright?" Jasmine, who was sitting beside me asked. I didn't turn to look at her, but I could sense the concern in her voice. I nodded my head mechanically as I know I wasn't able to speak. Jasmine wraps her arm around me and gave me a comforting hug. "Don't worry. Carson will be okay." I nodded my head again. I hope she was right.I've been at the hospital for an h
