Now and Forever

Chapter 38

Alexander POV

"And that-"

"Mr Knight, I'm sorry to interrupt butBethany Kingsley called and says she wants you to call her-"

"Well tell her I'm busy." I interrupted Charlotte when she popped her head through the door.

"I did sir but she said it was urgent and that you need to call her back, right now."

Oh Jesus Christ..

"I'll be right back." I walked out of the meeting all the while scrolling through my phone for Bethany's number.

"This better be important Bethany." Was the first thing I said when she picked up on the second ring.

"It.. it's Amelia! Please come quick I.. I don't know what to do!" She sounded panicked which wasn't very common for Bethany so this must have been very important.

"What happened to Amelia?"

"I.. I don't know! She got a phone call from somebody and she.. she just fell down and started crying! I don't know what to do Alexander! Please come quick!" Bethany sounded like she was on the verge of tears at this very moment.

"Reschedule the meeting for tomorrow." Charlotte nodded and looked at me like she was concerned.

"Is everything alright Mr Knight?" All she got was a brief nod before the elevator doors slid shut.

"What the hell happened?" I asked when I walked in and saw Amelia sprawled across the floor, sobbing very loudly if I may add and Bethany trying to comfort her, looking like she wanted to cry herself.

"I.. I don't know, she.. she got a phone call and whatever that person said to her made her drop her phone," she motioned to the bits and pieces of what used to be Amelia's phone, "and she dropped down then started crying." She looked so scared it wasn't even funny.

"Amelia?" I walked over to her and knelt down beside her. "What happened?" I asked softly pushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

When she didn't answer, I stood up and shifted her, put an arm under her legs and another one on her back and lifted her up bridal style. She immediately wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her head into my chest, her tears wetting my shirt.

"I.. is there anything I can do?" Bethany looked at me then looked at Amelia like she was going to break any second.

"Call Isabella." She nodded and scrambled through her contacts for the number.

"I.. Isabella? It's Amelia," she stopped to listen to whatever Isabella said, "uh yes, please can you come?" Bethany said into the phone.

"Ye.. yeah at their house." She hung up the phone after hearing what Isabella had to say and put the phone in her purse.

"What did she say?"

"She said she'll be here in 20." She looked at Amelia who had stopped sobbing, tears rolling down her cheeks silently.

"Thank you Bethany." She nodded her head and smiled weakly, still looking at Amelia concerned.

Bethany left and I carried Amelia upstairs to the bedroom, her still quietly crying.

"Isabella will be here in a few minutes, okay?" I said and put Amelia down on the bed. She didn't respond but just looked at the wall behind me, tears still flowing down her cheeks.

"Amelia?" Isabella knelt down beside the bed where Amelia was still silently crying. She sat up on the bed and Isabella gave her a hug, she herself crying.
