Chapter 54


    Is that all I was getting? Watching the different emotions show on my dads face I knew what ever


    caused him to do it was personal. " Why did you do it?" I asked not sure if I wanted to know the


    answer. Watching his eyes fall into slits and his lip pull back into a silent snarl I swallowed the lump


    that had formed in my throat. I never showed it well I tried not to but my dad scared the shit out of


    me. Whatever that guy had done still didn''t sit well with him.


    "We should start heading out Prez before it gets anyter. I''ll fill the guys in up state just in case we


    need them to ride back with us" ze pipped up my head snapping in his direction. No I wanted to


    know what that guy had done that caused my dad to serve 8 years. "We''ll stop by your house and


    grab some things before we go".


    "Make sure you call me when you get there and make sure you look after her". My dad said taking


    out another cigarette. So that was it? He wasn''t going to tell me anything?


    "I''m not leaving until I know what happened" I said folding my arms over my chest. Running a hand


    through his hair he cursed loudly before getting to his feet.


    "Ava I don''t-.."


    "I want to know" I snapped cutting him off before he could finish.


    "He took your mom" He roared mming his fist into the wall causing a dent to appear. "He beat her


    to a pulp, I should have put a bullet in him when I had the chance". He growled. Gulping I blinked


    away my tears before they could fall. Remembering back to when I read those news articles online


    referring to my dad as a monster, he wasn''t a monster. He was protecting the women he loved, the


    women I call mom. I didn''t want to ask the question that was swimming around in my head but I had


    to know. "Did- did he touch her?" I stuttered my voice barely a whisper.


    "No darlin'' he just fucked her up really badly. No one messes with my family especially my wife and


    my daughter. Now you know the reason I worry so much about you, why I always have one of the


    guys on you". Standing from my seat I walked the short distance between us and threw my arms


    around him pulling him in for a hug. Feeling his arms tighten around me Iy my head against his


    chest. This was the first time since I had been here that I felt I had my dad back.


    "Now I don''t feel as guilty for killing the bastard" I snapped pulling back so I could clean my eyes. "I


    appreciate you looking after me and protecting me. I may not show it but you have to know I would


    probably be dead if it wasn''t for you and the boys". It was true, I never admitted it to any one but I


    appreciated everything they did for me. "God knows what would have happened to me when I was


    in NewYork". Feeling my dad tense next to me I knew he knew what I was talking about.


    "Be safe and do what ze tells you to do" My dad grunted. Letting my arms drop I took a few


    steps away from him. "And stay away from the guys up there" He ordered pulling out his phone.


    "Get going before its tote. ze I want a word". Leaving them to it I walked out into the bar area


    and took a seat on the stool.


    "Ava"


    Turning to face Kelsey I cursed when I realised I had forgot all about helping her. My head had been


    all over the ce after what had happened. "Kelsey I''m sorry Ipletely forgot" I sighed rubbing a


    hand over my face. "How have you been? I can make a few phone calls and get you in by Monday if


    that''s what you want?".


    "I- I told him" She stuttered taking the empty seat beside me. Watching the tears fill in her eyes I


    knew it wasn''t good news. "He- he said it wasn''t his. Told me I was nothing but a biker whore and


    that the bastard child inside me could be anyone''s" She croaked a sob falling from her lips.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    I didn''t know what to say. For one I didn''t think Tim had it in him to speak to anyone like that never


    mind a girl. Guess it was the quiet ones you had to look out for. Taking a hold of her hand I gave it a


    gentle squeeze. "I will help you Kelsey but you have to make the decision about what you want to


    do. I have to leave tonight but I can sort it before I go or we can sort it all when I''m back". How does


    someone make that decision?


    "I can wait until your back I''ll just call some friends and see if I can stay with them for a few days. I


    can''t stand to watch someone I love all over other girls". ncing around the bar my eyes fell into


    slits when I saw a girl sat in Timsp. Did he get patched in? He was usually behind the bar.


    Watching the broken girl beside me and then watching how Tim was acting made a new wave of


    anger curse through me. How does he know that childs not his? How can he say its not when he''s


    been having sex with her? Balling my hands into fists I slipped of the bar stool about to march over


    there when Kelsey grabbed my arm.


    "Please don''t" She whispered her eyes wandering over to Tim and then settling back onto me.


    "Please Ava I don''t want everyone to know what''s going on". Gritting my teeth I ran a hand through


    my hair as I caught site of my dad and zeing out of his office. "Go to the hospital tomorrow


    and ask for Ally. Tell her I sent you, she has a spare room and that''s where you''ll be staying until I


    get back".


    "Ava you''re helping me enough as it is. You don''t need-.."


    "Yes I do so please go to the hospital tomorrow and ask for Ally" Squeezing her hand she walked


    away as ze approached me.


    "What was all that about?" He frowned leaning against the bar.


    "What were you and my dad talking about?" I challenged.


    "Nothing you need to worry about. So what was she wanting?".


    "Nothing for you to worry about" I mimicked watching the smirk trace his lips. "Ooh touchy" He


    snickered shoving against my arm. This wasn''t like him at all. I had never seen the yful side of


    ze before and I had no idea how to take it.


    "I''m ready to leave when you are darlin'' and if we leave just now we should make it before morning".


    It was going to take that long for us to get there? Sighing I pushed myself away from the bar. "Until


    you find.." Catching sight of my shoes in his hand I stopped what I was saying. Guess I was ready


    to go then but why did I have a gut feeling telling me I should be here? Grabbing my shoes out of


    his hand I pulled them on.


    "We good to go then?" He asked


    Shrugging my shoulders I walked off in front of him and made my way outside. I had been dreading


    this trip since the moment I found out I had to go. Even more so now because I felt like I owed him


    something after he cleaned up my mess. Would he expect something from me?


    "Wow slow down sweets" He said taking a hold of my elbow and pulling me to a stop. "What''s


    wrong?" He asked his eyes searching my face. One thing ze was good at and that was being


    able to tell when something was wrong with me. Before I could answer he brought his hand up and


    cupped my cheek. "Stop worrying about it Ava it''ll get handled the way we always handle it". If only


    that''s what my problem was right now. " Come on bikes parked out front".


    Bike?


    "Why can''t we take a car?" I asked not liking the thought of being stuck on the back of a bike for


    hours. What if it rained? "We''re taking my bike sweets and that''s the end of it". Watching him walk


    away from me I flipped his back the bird.


    ....


    "I need to pee" I yelled over the roar of the bikes engine. We had been on the road for more than


    four hours and I needed to pee a while back. The roads were empty and I hadn''t seen a rest stop


    since we left. How much longer was it going to take? And did he even hear me? "Unless you want


    to be covered in my pee I suggest you pull over" I yelled again. Feeling the bike slow down I let out


    a long breath as it came to a stop at the side of the road. Right now I didn''t care where I pee''d it


    was dark and there were trees, enough to cover myself.


    "Girls" He sighed kicking out his stand and getting off the bike. Taking the hand he was offering I


    demounted the bike taking off my helmet and handing it to him. "Be quick I want to get back on the


    road". Rolling my eyes I walked off in the direction where there was nothing but trees. Yeah he had


    seen it all before but I did not need for him to see me squatting. Carrying on with my business I


    never thought I was going to stop. Humming softly I searched my jacket pockets sighing in relief


    when I found an old hankie. Wiping myself of I pulled my jeans up and made my way back to ze.


    "I hope you washed your hands" He chuckled the light from his cigarette catching my attention.


    "With what exactly?" I askeding to a stop. Throwing away his cigarette he smirked at me before


    mounting his bike. Passing me my helmet I grabbed it from him and put it on. Getting on behind him


    I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist resting my head against his back. This was going to be


    a long night...
