Chapter 12
Screaming I placed a hand over my mouth. Turning round in a panic I noticed Jared take the silencer of his gun before slipping it back into his cut. He shot him, he shot him dead.
"Jared" Blaze snapped "What the fuck did I tell you before we drove out here".
They were acting all calm while I was over here having palpations. They had just shot a man dead. Looking at Jimmys lifeless body I felt the bile rise in the back of my throat. Bending over at the side of my car I began to spew my guts up.
"He called us thugs. We're a respectable motorcycle club" Jared barked back.
Wiping the side of my mouth I turned to face them. Feeling my body shake I wiped the tears that were spilling from my eyes. I couldn't move, couldn't process what just happened. What if someone seen and they've called the cops? I couldn't breath.
"Get this shit cleaned up" Blaze roared causing me to jump "Ava" He snapped closing the distance between us and grabbing onto my shoulders.
"Don't touch me" I screamed backing away from him "Don't fucking touch me. You're a monster" I croaked "You're all monsters".
"Get used to it sweetheart" Jared smirked as he walked towards Jimmys body.
Gritting my teeth I turned and ran back inside. What was I going to do? A man was lying dead in my driveway. Pulling at my hair a strangled cry made its way up my throat and out my mouth. This can't be happening. This sort of thing doesn't happen to me.
"We have to go"..
Jumping slightly I backed away from Blaze. I couldn't go with them, not now not ever. My full body was shaking as he started walking closer to me. Backing away further my breath caught in my throat when my back hit the wall. Jared had just shot a man dead infront of my eyes for nothing.
Watching him dig a hand into his pocket he pulled out a cigarette, lighting it he passed it to me.
"I don't want a fucking cigarette. I want you to leave me alone" I cried "He just killed a man Blaze. Right infront of my eyes. Y-you have to leave" I stuttered falling over my feet as I tried to move round him.
"Ava"..
"Don't Ava me" I screamed causing him to grab me and place his hand over my mouth.
"You need to calm down. What you just witnessed out there is nothing to what we do" He whispered "Jared gets carried away sometimes. Promise you won't scream and I'll remove my hand".
Sobbing I closed my eyes and nodded my head. As he removed his hand from my mouth I moved to the other side of the livingroom.
"We hitting the road?" Jared asked as he casually strolled through the front door like nothing happened.
"You and Tommy head out. We'll head out later" Blazed said causing me to glare at him. I wasn't going anywhere definitely not with him. "Get rid of that body before you go" He snapped
Taking orders like the ass he is Jared strolled out of my house banging the door shut behind him.
"You may as well go with them because I'm going no where with you" Bringing my hand up to my mouth I started chewing on my nails.
"Go get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we need to leave" He said completely ignoring me.
"Did you not just hear me?" I screamed "I'm not going anywhere. Now get out of my house before I call the cops".
Snapping his head up in my direction his eyes fell into slits "You wouldn't dare" He snarled causing my heart to skip a beat. "I'll drag you down with me sweetheart".
Trying to hide my fear I crossed my arms over my chest. I was screwed, what just happened will scar me for the rest of my life. Turning my back on him I made my way to the kitchen. How do they get away with killing innocent people? Sitting at the table I lay my head on it and closed my eyes. Trying to process everything that happened tonight, Jimmys lifeless body. Wasam this the world he wanted to introduce me to?
My life had done a complete 180 within the space of a couple of hours. How could I be apart of his life when I knew what he was doing? Killing people for a living.
Glancing at the clock it was almost 2am. Hearing a knock at my front door I started to panic. What if its the cops? As the knocking got louder I stumble from my chair and slowly made my way through.
"Cops, get rid of them Ava" Blaze mouthed as he made his way out the livingroom and up my stairs. Taking a deep breath I opened the door and tried my best to act normal.
"Sorry to bother you so late Ava but we've had a complaint about some odd behaviour happening in the neighborhood. Do you know anything about that?" Sheriff
Westwood asked
"Odd behaviour?" I asked a yawn escaping my mouth
"Apparently old Mrs Jenner saw strange men in your drive way. Said something about hearing screaming and shouting".
Raising my eyebrow another yawn escaped my mouth "Listen Ben I know you're just doing your job but coming over to my house at 2am is ridiculous. Ive been working all day, came home got changed and fell asleep on the couch. I've heard nothing nor seen anything" I lied hoping he couldn't see straight through it.
"I understand Ava it's just protocol. We're going door to door but I am sorry to disturb you. Thanks for your time and if you hear anything stop by the station at any time or you can give me a call" He smiled handing me a personalised card with his personal contact details on it.
"Will do sheriff, goodnight" I smiled closing and locking the door behind me.
Letting out the breath I didn't realise I was holding I slid down the door resting my head on my knees. liy can't believe I just lied to the law. Mrs fuckingnd Jenner!!
"Another retard that wants into my girls pants. Gonna need to teach him a lesson" Blaze growled making his way down the stairs "Good work sweetheart" he smirked
Lifting my head from my knees I glared at him "I am not your fucking girl" I hissed slapping away his hand as he tried to touch me "Bens harmless but then again your people like killing innocent people" I snapped glaring at him as I got to my feet.
Gripping me by the waist he pulled me to him and held me tight so there was no way I could escape "You know the shit the club gets into. You came to us darlin' not the other way around".
"Yes 1 year ago. I came to find my dad and do you know what I wish I hadn't" I snapped trying to ignore the way my body was reacting to his touch. "I didn't ask you to
come here Blaze. I didn't ask you to save me from being raped. I didn't ask you to kill my neigh-.."
Grabbing my face in his hands he cut me off "How bout you shut the fuck up for 5 seconds" He growled before placing his lips on mine.
Struggling inyi his arms I dug my nails into his back as hard as I could, still he didn't budge. Sinking my teeth into his bottom lip he hissed before dropping his arms and letting me go.
"You little witch" He smirked bringing his hand up to wipe the blood away.
Tasting his blood on my tongue I glared at him "Touch me again and I'll rip your dick off and feed it to you". I growled causing him to laugh which only made me glare
harder.
"Look at you getting all confident, talking about my dick." He smirked "Want to see what a dick looks like Ava?" moving his hand across his jeans he grabbed his package "It's all yours baby".
Why would he say something like that? I was almost raped. The last thing on my mind was seeing his penis. There was this little bit of hope in the back of my mind that he was different. I had never been with a guy sexually but I knew what they always wanted. The way they look at you or the way they undress you with their eyes. Why I thought a cold hearted biker would be any different I have no idea.
"You think I want to see your dick?" I asked watching the smirk fall of his face "After everything thats happened tonight you say something like that" Shaking my head I pushed past him and made a bee line to my room. Reaching the top of the stairs I turned to look at him "Don't follow me. I have a spare room if you need to rest but don't come anywhere near me".
Once I was in the safety of my own room I took my phone of the night stand and collapsed onto my bed. Checking for messages I cursed when I saw there was at least a dozen missed calls from my mom along with voice mails and texts. Of course he would have told her what happened.
'Baby please pick up'
'I'm worried Ava. Please honey answer your phone. I need to know you're okay'
'Keep Blaze with you at all times. I knew I should never have left you alone. Baby please I'm sorry please pick up'.
Placing my phone next to me I climbed up my bed and under the covers. As soon as my head hit the pillow sleep took over.
'Shut up you little whore'
'You have caused me to do this Ava'
A strangled scream escaped my mouth as I jumped up from my bed. Trying to calm my breathing I closed my eyes and counted to ten. It was just a dream. Wiping the sweat from my forehead I reached over and turned on my bedside lamp. Catching a glimpse of the time I groaned out loud. I had only been sleeping for an hour.
Getting out of bed I ripped the clothes from my body that were now drenched in sweat. I wonder if Blaze is awake? Rummaging through my closet I pulled on some jeans and a t-shirt. If he was asleep I could get out of here without him. Too much had happened for me to be around him. Trying to be as quiet as I could I pulled my boots on along with my leather jacket and made way for my bedroom door. Hopefully he had left my car keys on the kitchen table.
Creaking open the door I held my breath and listened for any movement. Hearing the soft snores coming from my spare room I let out the breath I was holding and done a silent prayer. Closing the door behind me I tip toed my way across the landing and quietly down the stairs.
If I managed to leave without him knowing where would I go? I didn't want to head back to New York and I didn't have what you called friends around here. Never let myself make any friends and I'm sure April would find it strange if I turned up at her house at 3 am.
Walking through my living room I went straight to the kitchen in hopes of finding my keys. Feeling my mouth pull into a smile I could have jumped for joy when I noticed them sitting in the fruit bowl. Shoving them into my Jean pocket I about turned and jumped when I caught Blaze looking at me from where he stood slouched against my livingroom door.
"Going somewhere darlin'?"
Oh boy he did not look happy!
"I - um grocery store" I swallowed feeling the heat travel from my neck onto my face.
Taking my bottom lip between my teeth I folded my arms across my chest. Why did I feel like a child that had just been caught with her hand in the cookie jar?
"Where were you going Ava?" He asked pushing himself of the door and making his way towards me.
Letting out a sigh I released my bottom lip and looked at him "A walk I need to get out of here, I need some air".
"You need your car keys for that?" He nodded quickly shooting out his hand and grabbing my keys from my pocket.
Hey" I snapped hitting at his hands "Give them back to me" I huffed watching him slide them into his back pocket.
"No" He smirked his eyes raking over my body making a blush appear on my cheeks.
"You're an asshole" I barked feeling my heartbeat quicken as he closed the distance between us or noses touching.
"W - What are you doing?" I squeaked feeling my breath catch in my throat. I hated how he made me feel.
Moving his head slightly caused his nose to brush against mine. "You tryin' to sneak out on me sweetheart?" He whispered his breath fanning across my mouth causing a shiver to make its way through my body.
"N-no" I stuttered hating myself for sounding so breathless.
"Lies Ava" Bringing his hand up he pulled at my bottom lip releasing it from between my teeth "Stop doing that" He mumbled rubbing his finger along where I had bit.
"Bad habit" I replied not once taking my eyes of his. They were so captivating I couldn't look away. Why did I feel like this with him? This was the first time I had seen him in a year and I still felt the way I did when I first met him.
"You should be getting some sleep Ava not trying to run out on me" He sighed running a hand over his tired face.
"Had a dream" I shrugged moving past him so I could take a comfy seat in the livingroom. "Before you ask I don't want to talk about it".
Holding his hands up infront of him he took a seat beside me taking my hand in his and giving it a squeeze.
I was knackered, keeping my eyes open was becoming a very hard task. Sliding his arm around my shoulders he pulled me closer so my head was resting against his chest "Stop fighting it Ava. Get some sleep darlin'.
As a yawn escaped my mouth I felt my eyes droop with every second that went by. The stoking of his fingers against my cheek was what put the nail in the coffin. I was sleeping within minutes.
