Chapter 88


    "Don''t you think I fucking know that? She''s in and out of consciousness! I don''t know what the fuck to do"


    Gasping my eyes sprung open the brightness of the room making me squint. The pain in my head had dulled but my full body felt like it was on fire. Peeling at my clothes a cry fell from my mouth catching his attention.


    "Ava"


    "You should never had took her from the hospital"..


    Was that my mom?


    "My body is on fire" I cried tugging at the top I had on.


    "ze do as I say and strip her"...


    Ally too?


    "You need to get her in a tepid bath and get that fever down... I don''t hear any movement" Ally yelled.


    "Fuck right"


    Lifting me into his arms a strangled scream fell from my lips. I had never felt pain like this ever.


    "What about the cast Ally?" He asked as he marched us both into the bathroom. Turning on the taps he sat me gentle on the toilet seat and began to rip the clothes from my body.


    "Get her in the bath, you need to get her temperature down". She yelled


    "Ava? Baby? Can you hear me?"


    With my head against zes chest I moaned my response.


    "You better pray she''s okay ze or so god help me I will put a bullet in your head myself". My mom growled before there was silence.


    Biting my lip so the cry wouldn''t escape my mouth as he ced me into the bathtub, I squeezed my eyes shut.


    "Keep talking to her ze and make sure she answers everything you say. Keep her responsive and if anything changes get her to the nearest hospital. We''re leaving in the next hour so we''ll see you soon".


    Silence


    "ze" Ally yelled


    "I heard you" He growled


    Feeling his presence beside me I felt the coolness of his hand on my lower back. "You have had a shitty couple of weeks huh?" He whispered running the bath water over my full back.


    Tensing I made a sound from the back of my throat - I was still responding wasn''t I?


    "Gotta do better than that sweets"


    "Yes" I croaked my body not feeling as hot as what it was. As he repeatedly ran the water over my body I blinked my eyes open. "Guess a change of scenery wasn''t really what I needed" I said trying but failing to give him a small smile.


    "I should never of took you from the hospital" He sighed cing the back of his hand against my forehead. "What was I even thinking?".


    "I- I feel better" I lied as I watched the water soak into the cast that was on my leg.


    "And I told you before you can''t lie for shit" He chuckled "Your temperature is through the roof sweetheart".


    "It''s helping" I whispered closing my eyes and letting the water roll over my skin. Leaning my head to the side I took a deep breath.


    "Get those eyes open Ava"


    "I''m still here ze I''m just resting them" I replied as he fell silent.


    "Ally said I have to keep talking to you and you have to respond to everything I say".


    "I can still respond with my eyes closed". I muttered


    Feeling the back of his hand against my forehead for a second timel blinked my eyes open. "You don''t have to keep doing that I''m here I''m still responsive and my body isn''t burning up like it was".


    "I''m just worried sweets and that''s why you are going to respond to everything I say" He grinned.


    Same old ze.... and I wasn''t getting out of this one!


    "First time you rode a bike?" He asked as he perched himself on the side of the tub.


    "4 years old" I smiled


    "Fast learner" He chuckled "Favourite color?"


    Oh so we were ying the question game? This was his way of making me respond to everything he said?


    "Red but I''m pretty sure I already told you that. What''s yours?" I asked


    "Blue just like the color of your eyes. Favourite season?".


    "Winter" I smiled "I love snow, I love when it''s frosty, I love how the air smells so fresh and clean. Favourite memory?"


    "The first time Iy eyes on you, I''ll never forget that day".Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    "ze" I sighed really not wanting to get into it. "That can''t be your favourite memory".


    "Oh but it is sweetheart. What ever happened to those thick rimmed sses you used to wear?".


    "You watched me at my house?" | asked pulling my self into a sitting position which wasn''t really a good idea. Why did I not care that I was sitting here stark naked? Why was I not embarrassed about him seeing me naked?


    "I was following orders and when you''re a prospect you do whatever the hell your told".


    "That''s kinda creepy even for you ze now get me out of here the waters freezing".


    Taking a towel from under the sink he threw it over his shoulder before helping me to my feet. Wrapping it around my body he gentle lifted me into his arms and took me into the living room and next to the fire.


    "So what happened to them?" He asked as he went to get my suitcase.


    "I still have them" I confessed as he opened my suitcase in front of me. "An oversized t-shirt will do" I said as he pulled out one of his jumpers and


    held it up.


    "So why haven''t I seen you wearing them?"


    Really? We were still taking about my old boring sses? What was he getting at?


    "I wear them sometimes at night when I''m alone and no one can see me. Why did you join the MC?" I asked changing the subject.


    "I owe your dad my life. If it wasn''t for him I wouldn''t be here".


    "That''s it?"


    "Yeah so stop pushing. Arms up" He ordered as he pulled the jumper over my head.
