Chapter 23: Chapter 23 – To Mason County

So we have a new character introduced in Dr. Emil - his name is gonna change like three times in ten chapters. 

This is where we see the Twilight world bleed into other worlds. 

Of course, the main plot will still focus on Twilight and I will strive to make inclusions as realistic as possible. Also, remember that this novel is about Xavier so you will see things through his eyes and see action when he is nearby or it affects the plot primarily. 

I am taking a week off to get ahead in the chapters and enjoy Christmas. 

Wanna read ahead ----> patréon.com/The_Eternal_Ocean_Soul

JANUARY 22^nd 2005 - SATURDAY

ROBINSON’S HOUSE

Xavier truly slept.

The previous night had drained considerable cosmic energy and mental fortitude.

Still, The Eternal felt absolute bliss as he was awakened by constant kisses to his neck and face.

Though he would have preferred simultaneous kisses on both sides of his cheek from two women, there was a certain pleasure that came from having one woman.

In this case – Angela.

“I know you’re not sleeping anymore,” She accused.

“How can you tell?” Xavier opened one eye and quickly shut it.

“Maybe it’s the hand groping my ass, or the monster pressing along my leg,” Angela playfully pondered.

“Ugh… fine,” Xavier sat on the bed.

The naked couple admired the contours of each other’s bodies. Every inch of Angela’s body reminded Xavier of how lucky he was to capture her heart early.

Though, not early enough to be her first, but he was definitely her best and last.

“You need to leave before my father –”

Angela's voice turned quiet mid-sentence because two sets of eyes were peering through the small crack in her door. For a couple of seconds, she didn’t know how to respond.

She didn’t know what her parents expected.

There were two options – send Xavier away and everyone pretended that nothing happened… perhaps, after a week of pretending everything would return to normal.

Option number two included getting dressed and bringing Xavier to breakfast – Angela shuddered at the thought considering just how much her parents liked Xavier.

Worse, there were knives at the table.

Angela wasn’t confident that she would be able to report the truth to the police if her mother and father ganged up and killed Xavier.

“I got this…” Xavier comforted.

“Really?” Angela was doubtful – still staring at the eyes that remained staring through the door’s crack. “I mean… they aren’t saying anything so I don’t know what to do.”

“Trust me!” Xavier urged.

The Eternal quickly got dressed, opened the window, and slipped outside, disappearing from sight in a few seconds. Angela felt a twinge of disappointment at Xavier’s choice.

And judging from her parent’s eyes, they did as well.

That was until…

KNOCK

KNOCK

Loud knocks on the front door.

Hope burst in Angela’s heart – she quickly got dressed, ushered the peeping toms from her room’s door to the living room, and gestured for them to open the front door.

Mr. Robinson hesitantly stepped forward and turned the knob, revealing a kneeling Xavier – his hands holding a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine, a box of chocolate, and a box of condoms.

Angela wanted to assume the condoms were a mistake, but knowing Xavier – he probably intended to brag about their quality. She awkwardly walked forward, pocketed the box of condoms, and sidestepped back to her parent’s side.

“I HAVE COME TO WIN ANGELA BACK!” Xavier announced and got into a lengthy speech. “I know things didn’t end well last time, and I caused her to cry bitter tears over my handsomeness, but I guarantee you this time will be different. Not only does loyalty and honesty flow in my veins, but I will also suck her toes as I did the other—”

BANG

Angela slammed the door out of frustration.

“Hehe…”

A chuckle from her mother saved Xavier from another breakup, and the tense mood was broken.

There was more than tolerance in Angela’s parents’ eyes – there was a modicum of acceptance and respect.

The family had welcomed Xavier back into the fold.

The door never did reopen for Xavier, but Angela did give him the hummer keys – a signal for him to depart. Of course, Xavier understood that Angela needed to have a very serious conversation with her parents.

Though her parents always figured, now they knew that he and Angela were having sex.

There was a lot to discuss, especially since Angela wanted to partially move in with Xavier.

The Eternal departed, leaving his gifts on the stairs.

۞۞۞

XAVIER’S HOUSE

When the gates opened and Xavier’s hummer rolled into the driveway, Jacob and Tyler were already present.

The two teenagers had the decency to at least be embarrassed for showing up without an invitation, but that embarrassment could not outweigh their need to work on the car.

Xavier sighed as he parked the car.

------------

Thirty minutes and a tub of ice cream were brought by Jessie halfway into the discussion and the group of four had a somewhat workable plan.

Jessie was on design – scouring the internet for old colors.

The Beetle needed to look and feel more authentic because that meant more money from collectors.

Jacob would immediately begin some basic work – removing rust, restoring bolts and screws – those that could be restored.

Tyler and Xavier would head over to Mason County and check out the usual repair stores to look for parts. Of course, this job required them both because Tyler was the searcher and Xavier the payer.

“We need steel…” Tyler scooped a large volume of vanilla, knowing he would get a brain freeze. “Unless we want to replace the chassis with carbon steel? Maybe something else?”

“We need it as the original if it's going to sell,” Jacob disagreed. “We use what’s left of the chassis and thin it… add what we can’t thin and we have perfection.”

“Why don’t we make the chassis better if we can?” Jessie questioned – she was in learning mode. “Wouldn’t that be best?”

“No…” Xavier was the one to answer. “This car was made in the 1950s – if someone wanted a better car, they wouldn’t buy the piece of shit. It is valuable because only 2,500 were made. We want it exactly the same as it was made sixty years ago.”

“I thought you liked this car?” Jessie was surprised.

“Xavier only ever likes the money,” Tyler summarized. “Jacob likes the motorbikes, and I like the faster cars… maybe you can like the antique cars now that you’re here.”

The four spent the next hour discussing everything they needed, what it would cost, and the estimated time they were working with.

“We’ll be back around 5…”

Xavier and Jacob did their secret fist bump, then Xavier and Jessie did an ordinary fist bump while grinning. For the first time in a while, Jessie felt like they were back on track.

Jessie slipped the Bugatti keys into Xavier’s hands since the trip to Mason County would require speed, and there was no one faster in a car than Xavier.

“Let’s go,” Xavier yelled.

Tyler followed The Eternal out of the garage, sending a dozen vague text messages to anyone who might have the parts they’re looking for down in Mason County.

Of course, he had to remain vague less they already plan to start charging him more than necessary.

FORK’S HIGHSCHOOL

“Why are we stopping here?” Tyler inquired.

“We are picking someone up,” Xavier replied, using his phone to send a text message for the first time in a week. “And whatever you see or hear, just remember to keep your mouth shut.”

“Come on, man!” Tyler rolled his eyes, smirking a perverted grin. “I know how you roll – I will not tell Angela shit.”

“Not like that…” Xavier sighed, wondering why people always assumed the worse of him.

A couple of minutes later, steps accompanied by the rolling wheels of multiple suitcases could be heard.

Xavier peered through his tinted windows, noting that instead of one person – Blake- two people were coming. He groaned, knowing that matters just became more complicated.

“Change of plans,” Xavier slid over to Tyler and opened the door for his business partner. “Take the hummer and meet me in Mason County – just text me where to go.”

“Wait… what?”

“Out…” Xavier used his considerable strength to push Tyler out of the car. “Text me!”

Tyler stumbled out of the car. “But I don’t know where the hummer keys are!” He yelled.

Xavier shut the door and reversed the car toward the oncoming two females. “Then, catch a fucking bus like a normal person,” The Eternal yelled back.

Tyler kicked the ice-covered ground and cursed nonstop.

-------------

Xavier stopped the car, pushed open the door, and Blake slid into the passenger’s seat. Likewise, the left rear door opened, and Sue got into the backseat.

Xavier gave Blake a questioning glare before starting the car and driving towards Mason County until all that remained was the endless sea of trees.

Nobody talked – nobody knew when it was safe to.

Actually, Blake wanted to spill the beans a long time ago, but she didn’t want to mess up with Sue. After all, she was charged with looking after her friend.

“What’s the issue?” Xavier inquired after an hour-long drive.

Blake hesitated for a couple of seconds before deciding to speak on her own issues. “Where am I going?” She asked.

“New York City,” Xavier replied without much care. “Your grades have been transferred by Mrs. Beckham. I got you a full scholarship with a stipend to take you from month to month, and a dorm room to stay in. Everything else is up to you to take care of.”

“That is more than enough,” Blake withheld the tears threatening to leak. “Thank you so much, Xavier. I don’t know what I would have done without you…”

Xavier sighed and his expression melted to show a rare instance of softness. “I know what it is like to want to start over,” He mentions.

“And her?” He inquired.

Sue, who had been silent up to that point, responded in the only way she knew how – she was not overly familiar with Xavier, and only knew him due to hanging around with Jacob.

Her reply was direct.

Sue shifted her seating position to show Xavier her side features, and at a glance, it was obvious that her stomach was a little more pronounced than the rest of her body.

It would be hard to notice if she wasn’t so skinny.

“You’re pregnant?” Xavier frowned. ‘Mine?’ He thought but concluded it could not be his – not with his Cosmically charged super sperm.

“Yeah…” Sue replied.

“And what does this have to do with me?” Xavier inquired. “I know it’s not mine…”

“You could say it’s only here because of you,” Sue complained, clutching her stomach. “After all, you brought Jacob to the party, and sent him after his crush, but you didn’t even tell the boy how to aim right. I spent thirty minutes just making sure he could get hard because he was so nervous, and so… what if we did forget the condom in the end?”

BRRRRRKKKK

The car swerved as Xavier hit the brakes with immense force.

“It’s for Jacob?” The Eternal was surprised – this definitely didn’t happen in canon. “Are you sure?”

“Yeah, she’s sure…” Blake replied on her friend’s behalf. “He’s the only one she has bedded in the past two months, and her stomach is about a month old. The dates match.”

Xavier restarted the car, and instead of speeding, this time the Bugatti traveled with a steady cruise.

“And what do you want – money?” He asked.

Sue rolled her eyes. “Listen, we’re not rich but we get by, and Jacob takes care of me, but even I can tell he isn’t ready for this. A fourteen-year-old got a sixteen-year-old pregnant? Won’t we make the most fucked up parents ever?”

“And he’s shorter than you, and has hair better than yours…” Blake added.

“And he’s shorter than me, and has silkier hair!” Sue complained since she was getting it all out there.

“An abortion then?” Xavier heaved a sigh of relief. “An abortion is something I can handle.”

“Told you…” Blake cheered.

Sue was also relieved.

۞۞۞

MASON COUNTY

PILGRIM’S PRIVATE HOSPITAL

A doctor exited the room, removing his gloves and tossing them into the trash.

“Everything is fine,” He reported.

“Thank you,” Blake was relieved and dashed into the room, desperate to confirm the situation with her own eyes.

Xavier stood and examined the doctor. “So, you’re my family’s doctor?” He questioned.

“I wouldn’t call myself that,” Doctor Emil stated. “You used to bring Ms. Rebecca to see me, and your parents needed secrecy so they just hired me for that purpose. I have an NDA and several more restrictions atop doctor-client privileges.”

“Rebecca?” Xavier was familiar with the name – his past lover. “Did I bring her here to get an abortion?”

“No…” Dr. Emil was aghast. “From what I understand, you two wanted to keep the child.”

Xavier slowly nodded, disbelieving of every word coming out of the mouth of a doctor he didn’t know.

“Did you do it?” He whispered.

“I preserved the fertilized embryo,” Dr. Emil reported. “I expect someone to come by later and transfer the embryo to Solaria as per your and your parent’s orders.”

Xavier scrunched his nose.

Mostly, he was unwilling to trust even the smallest portion of his matters into the hands of parents he didn’t know, but the resources at their disposal were truly immense.

Now, here he was – finding out about a previous abortion with the female this body’s owner sexually assaulted, a place called Solaria that didn’t exist on any map and a doctor that smelled too clean to be an actual doctor.

None of the tools on the bench inside the room had been used, so that begged the question – how was the abortion performed?

“Thanks…” Xavier resolved to find answers to these questions another time. “That would be all for now. Ensure the embryo reaches where it needs to go and nobody bothers it. It may be useful for future research.”

Dr. Emil nodded.

۞۞۞

MASON COUNTY AIRPORT

Xavier and Sue watched as the plane carrying Blake took to the skies, disappearing into the horizon where she would start a new life away from the trauma that Forks had brought.

“Should you be walking?” Xavier frowned.

“I’m fine,” Sue reported. “Doctor said everything went without a hitch.”

“Then, get out…” Xavier reached into the car and passed Sue a bus ticket. “I can’t be seen with you and I am about to go and meet Tyler. Remember, today never happened, and practice safety next time you and Jacob…”

“I didn’t get an abortion because I was too young,” Sue suddenly revealed. “I got an abortion because I can look into Jacob’s eyes and know he doesn’t like me – not like he likes Charlie’s daughter.”

‘I guess some things can’t be changed,’ Xavier internally sighed.

Sue took the ticket, gave Xavier a quick peck on the cheek as a thank you, and skipped down the street to the nearest taxi that would take her to the bus stop.

“Her name is Erika!” Xavier yelled, causing Sue to pause. “Blake’s new name is Erika, just in case you ever want to find her!”

Sue nodded.
