Where We Belong

Chapter 120

What kind of brother let's his younger brother take the rat for his wrong doing? In fact what kind of man does that never mind brother. Obviously Nate wasn't the man I thought he was, not that it mattered.

"Wait when you told me you had killed someone?" It was all starting to make sense. It was all becoming clear as to why Blaze has a hatred for him.

"He killed a rival and Blaze was the one that served the time. Did he forget to fucking mention that part?" Jared spat his knuckles turning white. "He wouldn't want your help and he certainly doesn't need it".

I had never seen Jared this angry before.

"I was punished-...."

"Punished?" Jared laughed cutting him off. "You should have been put to fucking ground. You were stripped of your patch for that reason now fuck off before I do something I won't regret".

"You're not the president of this club Jared and-..."

"He's not" I interrupted "But I'm the old lady of the guy that one day is going to be and I suggest you leave".

I had to stick by my family and Jared was my family. I could see how angry he was and I didn't want him doing anything stupid.

"Franko?" Nate questioned looking at my dad who was grinning from ear to ear. What the hell?!

"You heard the lady. You have no idea how long I've waited for Ava to stand up and show her place around here. She's taking her stand and right now her word goes. Sorry Nate but I'm out of this one. If Ava wants you to leave then I suggest you fucking leave".

Turning to look at me he ran a hand through his hair "I don't want any trouble Ava I just want to help and get the guys that did this. What happened was a long time ago but I'll respect your decision. You know where to get me if you need me".

Why did I feel guilty? He only wanted to help and I made him leave. Was I being to harsh?

"I'm going for a smoke" My dad grunted kissing the side of my head before leaving.

"Why didn't anyone tell me he used to be apart of this club?" I asked Jared. My mind was still blown by this.

"Used to be Ava, let's just leave it at that".

"It all makes sense now" I whispered more to myself. "I now get why he hates him but what I don't get is why he went to prison for something he didn't do".

"He fucked up Ava, he took the blame willingly. Nate and Blaze used to be closer than me and Blaze. You could see how close they were, the bond of true brothers. Blaze always looked up to Nate and that's what fucked him. He got jailed and Nate left him high and dry".

If I didn't know Jared I would say he was lying. It's hard to believe Blaze and Nate ever being close. I couldn't wrap my head around the whole thing. "I need him to wake up Jared" I had to change the subject. "What if he doesn't wake up?".

"Stop getting yourself worked up Ava. He'll wake up because he's fucking Blaze and he knows you're fighting for him just as much as him. You need a good nights sleep and some well needed rest".

Not this again.

"I'm fine with sleeping here. I've done it for the last few months. I'm not leaving him Jared I'm just not". And yes my emotions had got the better of me yet again.

"Just try and get some sleep" And then he left us alone. I knew Jared didn't do well with tears. I knew it made him feel awkward.

Climbing onto his bed I rested my head against his chest listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat My tears were still strolling down my face. I was exhausted and emotionally drained. No matter how hard I tried to fight it I could feel sleep taking over me and my eyes beginning to shut.

"Please wake up" I whispered just as my eyes closed for the last time that night.

I could feel his hand running through my hair, the way the hairs stood up on the back of my neck every time he touched me. I knew I was dreaming I just wasn't ready for it to end yet.

"Wake up sweets".

Sweets....

How I had missed that. I always pretend that his pet names annoy the hell out of me but truth be told I liked them, I liked that I was the only one he used them on.

Feeling his thumb stroke my cheek I could feel the lone tear escape my eye.

"Ava baby"

Wait?! I wasn't dreaming... is he?

Jumping up from the bed I burst into tears as he lay smirking at me. Was this real? Was he really awake? Pinching my arm I heard the deep chuckle fall from his lips.

"Ain't you going to come give your man a kiss?" He smirked patting the space beside him.

How can he still be this cocky and playful when he's been unconscious for months.

"Oh god I am dreaming" I cried wiping at my eyes and pinching my arm again.

"Baby" He whispered again patting the space beside him. "Get that cute little ass over here".

"Blaze?" I cried fresh tears rolling down my cheeks. Walking towards the bed I crawled into his arms and began to full on sob.

He really was awake.

"Think it's time you give your man a kiss" He croaked his hand running through my hair. Being as careful as I could straddled his waist and sobbed. I couldn't stop my tears, happy tears. My emotions were all over the place.

Wiping my eyes I leaned forward careful not to hurt him and placed my lips against his. "I missed you" He whispered kissing the tip of my nose.missed you too" I whispered burying my head in the crook of his neck and breathing deeply.

I don't know how long I straddled him, my head buried in his neck but I didn't want to ever move. I felt safe again.

"I need to get the doctor" I whispered pulling back so I could look at him.

"Fuck the doctor" he chuckled

Rolling my eyes I pushed the button at the side of his bed. "We need to let the doctor know you're awake and check you over". Leaning down I kissed his cheek. I didn't want to let him go and I couldn't stop touching him.

No one from the club was around except Jared. He would always go to my office at night and sleep on my sofa. He wanted to stand outside the door but I refused. He needed sleep just as much as me.
