All Chapters of Crash Into Me (Completed): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

His life had been a series of short term relationships ever since the tragedy. He couldn't seem to find someone who can stick for more than a few months at a time, a year at best. He's had his share of beautiful faces, sexy bodies, young and older, famous and not, he'd lost count on how many women he'd been with. He was largely driven by his sex drive which lead him into relationships based on casual sex. Women swooned over him, and he caved to the temptation.He had enough experience to learn that sex and good looks were not enough to keep a relationship, most of them couldn't even bring him to fall in love like the hopelessly romantic that he was. He knew that his passion for his work and motorbikes sometimes drove women away, and his simple way of life drove almost all of them away because they expected something rather posh from one of the highest earning actor in the industry.He wasn't entirely truthful when he said he was going to try and do his own bandages. He

She walked a few steps away from the bistro to the streets, and there he was under the street light, leaning on his motorbike, arms folded in front of him. She walked over to him. He tried to asses her expression, but he didn't knew her well enough to do that."How was the 'not a date' went?"She laughed, "Exhausting."He raised his eyebrows."Not like that! You know ... long story," she said."I've got all night ... we can discuss it over beer, or wine? Your choice.""Beer."He mounted his bike, "Beer it is."They stopped by to get some beer on the way back to the cottage. They flipped a coin over which cottage they should have the beers in, and it was Sandy's. They got comfortable on the sofa immediately. Sandy sighed a breath of relief and put her legs up. John opened two cans of beers and handed one to her."He seemed like a nice enough guy," he started the conversation."He is," she said."But?"

He buried himself in his work, trying hard not to think about her. She didn't come to the set, he looked at his phone, no messages from her.She busied herself with taking care of Kevin, she didn't contact him because she didn't know what to say to him. He was the only thing that occupied her mind, her heart skipped a beat every time she looked at pictures of him.She went home after dinner, his lights were still off. She went to take a warm bath and indulged herself with a good book on the sofa, a glass of wine and snuggled in her blanket. She missed him so bad but she's not letting herself loose too soon.He came back a little late that night, just a little after 2 AM. Her lights were dim, at least she was back. He took a hot shower to loosen up his tired muscles and paced around in his room.John   : Are you back?Sandy was surprised to receive the message at 2.30 AM. She thought for a moment.Sandy: Hi :) yes, I'm back.

Sandy was hyperventilating by Lucas's car, her legs had given in to the panic. She slumped on the pavement and wept."Get in the car," Lucas came rushing."Was it him?" Andrea asked."It was him! I saw him!" Sandy exclaimed."Yeah ... it's Patrick," Lucas said calmly."Shit! We have to call the police!" Andrea screamed.Sandy went into a complete panic, she was on the verge of hysteria.Lucas held her up, opened his car door and let her in. "Stay calm ... we'll figure this out, okay? Let's just get out of here first." Then he drove them back to La Lune."We have to contact the police," Andrea said while consoling Sandy.Lucas paced back and forth, "We can't ... they'll just dismiss it ... he hasn't done anything wrong." He was turning his brain upside down."Are we going to wait for him to do something wrong?" Andrea was terrified for Sandy."He knew I was there ... he's coming for me ... he said it to me .

She spent a few hours talking with John's co-workers. All that time, John was always interrupted by fans who wanted to take pictures with him. He was used to it, and he was nice about it. She scanned the room once in awhile to check on Lucas. He was drinking, and sulked at the bar. Sometimes she caught him looking at her while in John's arms. She wasn't intentionally parading John in front of him, but it was hurting him nonetheless.Her awkwardness didn't escape John, he saw her smile faded in between conversations. When he went to the bar and saw Lucas flat on his face on the counter, he went to get Sandy. "I think we need to take Lucas home, he passed out on the bar.""What? You mean, now?"John insisted on driving him home since Lucas's car was parked outside. He found the car keys in Lucas's pocket and carried him all the way to the car. He ended the night early with his crew, and asked his management to take care of the bills. It was a very thoughtful gestu
