Where We Belong novel (Ava and Blaze) Book 1 novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129

Grabbing the first aid box I was about to leave but his words stopped me.

"You are like the queen".

"Excuse me?" Turning to face him I watched as he pulled his jumped on "You're Blazes old lady, do you know how many people know who you are?".

"Is that why you want to join?" I asked  "So everyone will know who you are? That's not what the brotherhood is about, that's not what the club is about. Listen kid I know you must be excited about it but let me give you some advice". He was sat on the edge of the bed egar for me to finish.

"Don't do it". Turning around I walked away hoping he'd listen. I know I sound like a hypocrite but he's 17 for Pete's sake he should still be in school, should still be being a kid.

Standing at the coffee machine I was about to insert some money when a Starbucks cup came into view. Grinning I took the cup and turned to face him. "I know, I shouldn't drink that stuff".

"Tastes like shit Ava" Jared said making a face.

"What brings you down here?" I asked bringing the cup to my nose and inhaling deeply.

"Can't I just come down and see my favourite girl?" He grinned making me stop dead. "What have you done?" I asked.

"What could I possibly do that's so bad I need the help of a doctor?" He pouted

"Jared you killed someone in front of me because he called you a thug. Now stop pouting you're creeping me out".

Throwing his head back a full on hearty laugh fell from his lips. Throwing his arm over my shoulder he squeezed me tight "Just coming to check on you after last night. You good?".

"I'm good a little embarrassed though" I shrugged taking a sip of my coffee "Oh you got cappuccino" I grinned pushing his shoulder "Upgrading are we?".

"You're worth the extra buck" He chuckled making me laugh also. "You got wasted big deal it's not a crime".

"Close the door behind you" I said once we reached my office. Sitting behind my desk I placed my feet on top of it. "It's not a crime but you know what he's like" Circling the rim of my coffee cup I sighed "I think we're fighting".

"When are you two not fighting?" He grinned "We already know because he's a moody bastard. I feel sorry for the kids trying for prospects tonight" Running a hand down his face he took a seat. "He's a mean bastard Ava well he's always been like that but worse when you two aren't talking".

"Speaking of prospects I had a kid in my ER today. Says he's trying out tonight. Why do they have to be so young Jared?"

"Better to train them young, more disciplined and the little shits are too scared to back chat". He chuckled

"But 17 Jared" I sighed "Kids that age should be finishing school not joining an MC".

Shrugging his shoulders he got to his feet "I joined when I was 15 and I turned out alright. I'll see you there at 7".

"Wait it happens at the clubhouse?" I wasn't going there to watch god knows what.

"It starts at the clubhouse" He grinned "Make sure you get there early". I didn't plan on showing up at all.

"Can you pass a message onto Blaze for me?"

Smiling at the nurses at the front desk I gave them a little wave as I left through the entrance. Taking a seat on the steps I took out my phone arguing with myself on whether I should text and let him know I was coming or just show up. Or maybe I should just forget about it and go straight home? Walking to my car I stopped a few feet away.

He was here

Taking a deep breath I walked the last few steps stopping when I was next to him. He didn't say anything just stood smoking his cigarette.

"How was your day?" I asked breaking the silence. Something was off, his mood seemed different.

"Busy" He sighed rubbing a hand down his face. As he brought his arm back down my eyes zoomed in on the white t-shirt under his cut.

Blood

Shaking my head I went to the drivers side opening the door. "I can see that" Throwing my bag into the passenger seat I was about to get in when he grabbed a hold of my wrist.

"You could have cleaned yourself up before showing up here" I sighed turning round so I could face him. "What happened?" Pushing his cut open I noticed the blood seeping through.

"Does it ever stop" Lifting his t-shirt I tried to examine the wound but it was covered in a white gauze. "Nothing ever stops Ava. This is the life I lead, you know this so get rid of the disgust in your eyes.

Glaring at him I pushed him back "Fuck you Blaze and fuck everything else too I'm going home". Getting in my car I slammed the door shut. I wasn't disgusted I knew what happened and what they got into on a daily basis but it didn't mean I liked it, didn't mean I enjoyed stitching him up when he got hurt.

"Ava" he yelled pounding on my window. Rolling it down I stared right at him "Stay at the clubhouse tonight Blaze" Putting my foot down on the gas pedal I high tailed it out of there.
