Where We Belong novel (Ava and Blaze) Book 1 novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Making my way to his room I pushed the door open not realising he had company. I thought he was meant to be up state? Never mind it was none of my business. "Hope I'm not interrupting" I smiled walking over and placing a kiss on his cheek "How are you feeling?". I asked taking a seat on the chair next to his bed.

"Like I've got a constant hangover. Doc says I can't get out for at least another week. I hate hospitals" he grimaced.

"Then you better listen to the doctor and no breaking him out" I said eyeing up Blaze. "He needs to rest properly and be healthy before he can be released".

"I see you two still have figured your shit out" Tommy huffed. Rolling my eyes I ignored him. We had sorted our shit out, we were better apart than together. Getting to my feet I placed another kiss on his cheek "I have to get going I only dropped by to see how you were, listen to the doctor and I'll see you when you're better looking".

"Actually sweetheart there's something I need to ask you".

Why did I suddenly have a bad feeling about what it was he wanted to ask me? Glancing at Blaze I noticed he was looking at Tommy. "They said I need to stay in here for at least another week. Y'know to run some more tests, make sure I'm fit enough to be discharged".

"Okay?" I said it sounding more like a question than a reply "Don't leave until they say you're fit enough. I don't want you leaving and then landing straight back in here. Wait what are you trying to ask me here?".

"My insurance runs out before I can be discharged. Any way you could make it happen so that they don't figure out?" Was he serious? "I could lose my job" I whispered looking at both of them. I would get dismissed immediately if I got caught doing shit like that. "I know sweetheart and I know its a big risk but I know myself I'm not doing to good right now". Pacing the room I tried to think over what he just asked. Yes Tommy was like family but I'd never work in another hospital again if I got caught. My career would be over in the blink of an eye.

"You don't have to do it darlin'. I thought I'd chance my luck, it was worth a shot" He chuckled. God he was killing me right now, it sure as hell was a lot he was asking for. "I'll take care of it just you keep of the raider and be nice to the staff. I'm back at work tomorrow I'll make sure I'm the one dealing with you. Blaze a word" I said walking out of the room.

"Why the hell hasn't he renewed his insurance" I hissed making sure to keep my voice low. There was eyes and ears all over the place and I defiantly didn't need for anyone to hear this conversation.

"I don't know. I'm not his keeper Ava and like he said you don't have to do it".

"How can I not do it? After everything he's been through I can't sit back and watch him being thrown out of here when he's still unfit to come home. Jesus how do you guys get yourself into these messes."

"We're criminals darlin'. We're always in messes like this. If you want to help him out of the goodness of your heart then do it. Don't do it because you feel like you have too. I know how risky it is and the last thing I would want is for you to lose your job. Oh by the way Cookies been asking when you want they pole dancing lessons".

Squinting my eyes at him I pushed his shoulder " That's the last thing on my mind right now. I have to go pick up some stuff for tomorrow. Tell Tommy I'll sort it ".

"You want to go out for coffee?" He asked stopping me in my tracks. Was he serious?

"Coffee? Really?" I asked turning so I could look at him. Coffee wasn't his style I knew that much. Throw in a bottle of tequila and he was game but coffee? Hm what was he up to? "Yes coffee. Would you like to go grab some?".

"Aren't you meant to be up state dealing with business?".

"Well I can see you and your dad are talking again. I'm going tomorrow sweets. So would you like to go get some or not?". I dont know why I did it but I agreed to go have coffee with him.

"Everyone's staring" I whispered stirring my cappuccino. I get that probably everyone knew who he was but didn't they know it was rude to stare? We were just two people having coffee.

"Fuck um" He grunted taking a look around causing everyone to drop there stare. I could still feel it though, ever movement I made I felt there eyes burning the back of my head. It was starting to become very uncomfortable. Watching as Blaze went to pick up more sugar I slapped his hand away causing a gasp to leave the guys mouth that was sitting across from us. What was his problem? "You want to leave here with diabetes?"...

"What the fuck are you staring at?" He growled his eyes falling into slits his focus on the young guys sitting across from us. Rolling my eyes I snapped my fingers infront of him his eyes moving back to meet mine "They're just kids Blaze".

"Its not just them though, everyone in this fucking place is staring".

Pushing my half finished coffee to the side I got to my feet "Come on I know a place where no one will stare and it does awesome coffee" I winked turning on my heel and making my way out. "I didn't think you cared what people thought" I muttered opening the drivers side and jumping in. "I don't and get that little ass to the other side. I'm the one driving".

"You don't know where we are going so you get your little ass into the passenger side and shut the hell up. Seemed to me that you were bothered by everyone staring". Starting my car up I pulled out from the side of the road and headed home.

"I couldn't give a shit what people think about me. It was you I was worried about darlin' looked like you were uncomfortable. Mind if I smoke?" He asked

"I've had enough" I said holding up my hands "I want out Blaze. I can't keep living my life like this. Why is someone so dead set on hurting me? I've done nothing wrong" I croaked on the verge of tears. I couldn't deal with anymore shit.

"Get in the car darlin' I need to speak with your dad".

That's it, that's all he had to say? I didn't want to go and speak to my dad. All he was going to do was retaliate killing more people. It was just one vicious circle that I didn't want to be apart of. Walking to my car I jumped in slamming the door shut behind me.

"Don't you be worrying we'll handle it" Came his gruff voice as he pulled out of my street. Turning my head so I could look at him I scrunched my face up "How can I not worry when someone is obviously trying to hurt me" I snapped grabbing my sunglasses from my glovebox and putting them on. They were obviously doing all of this for a build up, waiting for me not to expect it and then they are going to pounce. How do I protect myself from a bunch of thugs that want revenge on my dad.

"I know that look and I know your mind is working overtime. I told you we'll sort it so stop fucking worrying".

I wasn't going to bite back. For once I was going to stay quiet and try my best not to think about the worst things that could happen. Did I get fooled into thinking it was my dad that got me that house? Were they going to use that house as a way to hurt me? Maybe even rape me? Swallowing loudly I clenched my fists. I didn't want to think about the shit they would do to me.

"Why are you going up state?" I found myself asking him. Anything to keep my mind off of who could be behind all this bullshit. "Club business sweetheart. Guys up state have a rat, they just need a little help on finding out who he is". And they needed him for that? I was surprised he told me why. Usually all I get is 'club business' and that's the end of it. Never once has he gave me a reason. "How do they know they have a rat?" I asked as he pulled into the club house. Scanning the lot my eyes landed on Cage and wait what was Ally doing here? I thought her and Cage were just having fun? "Stuff that gets said around the table is getting out. Can only mean they have a rat. I just need to go up and figure out who it is". Sitting quietly I watched as he opened my glovebox and took out my cigarettes. Lighting one up he tucked the rest of them inside his cut pocket. "Why do you have to go and figure out who the rat is? Aren't they capable of doing it themselves?" I asked reaching over and slipping my hand inside his pocket, pulling out my cigarettes I slapped his chest "They are my secret stash, buy your own"I huffed putting them back where they belong.

"Could say I'm good at reading people" He grinned taking a puff of his smoke. "Clearly you're not when you let bitches like that walk all over you" I smirked nodding my head to where Kelsey was making her way over to us. "Still screwing her I see".

"Only bitch I let walk over me is you" He snapped rolling down the window as she approached us. What the hell did she want? Could she not fawn over him when I wasn't here? Not that I had a problem with it, it was just embarrassing to watch.

"Hey baby fancy getting out of here for a few hours before you have to leave?" She purred leaning her upper body against my car giving me a eyeful of her tits. Scrunching my face up I pushed my sunglasses onto the top of my head. There was desperate and then there was Kelsey. Why do girls feel the need to act like sluts to get a guys attention. "You have sex in my car and I'll chop of your dick and feed it to her" I glared before pushing my door open.

Grabbing a hold of my wrist so I couldn't move I sighed not even putting up a fight to get free. What was the point? He always won. "I'm not finished talking with you. And you" He growled turning his head towards Kelsey "Don't fucking approach me unless I say you can. Can't you see I'm busy? Now fuck off, go see Tim and tell him I sent you". What the hell just happened? Watching her stomp off I pulled my wrist out of his hold. I didn't like the girl but there was no need to speak to her the way he did. "Why did you send her to see Tim?" I asked curiosity getting the better of me.

"First of I'm not screwing her. I haven't fucked anyone since you caught me. Second, I would never have sex in your car unless it was with you and thirdly no fucker on this earth walks over me. Got it?". Rolling my eyes I placed my hand on his thigh giving it a little squeeze "You just said I was the only bitch that walked over you and Blaze your tough guy act doesn't work with me" Patting his leg I smiled at him sweetly before getting out of my car and mading my way towards Ally and Cage.
