Rowan
I can’t explain the fear I felt when I saw the bastard pointing a gun at her head. She was shaking,
and tears were falling down her face. I heard as she pleaded with him to spare her, but I knew he
wouldn’t.
When she closed her eyes. As if accepting her fate. It nearly brought me to my fucking knees. If it
wasn’t for the fact that I knew she was tired, I would have spared the man just so I could give him
my own personal version of torture.
“She needs a doctor, Rowan” she says in a small voice as I kneel down before her.
I had already texted Gabe. The ambulance would be here in minutes. It’s not that I didn’t care for
Emma; I did. I just cared for Ava more. (2)
I take her face gently into my hands. Her cheek was swollen, and so was her eye. It had already bruised, and her lip was split.
My face hardened at the thought of someone laying their hands on her.
“Who hit you? Was it Ronny” I ask through clenched teeth.
She winces when I run my hand down her bruised cheek. Fuck! Her pain made my heart constrict.
I wanted nothing more than to kill the bastard who hurt her.
“It doesn’t matter… We need to get Emma to a hospital” she says as she begins to stand up.
I push her down gently and continue to inspect her. Totally ignoring what she said. Her wrists were bleeding, and her ankles were swollen and bruised.
The more I took in her wounds, the angrier I got. She shouldn’t have to go through this. Especially not when she was fucking pregnant.
“Rowan, are you not listening to me” Her tone is exasperated, and I know if it weren’t for the fact that she was tired and hurt, she would have thrown a few choice words at me.
“I’m listening, and the ambulance will be here.” I answer. “Now tell me who hurt you.”
She lets out a deep long breath. Sagging in relief against the car

It was one of Ronny’s men. He hit me when I talked back at him” she tells me tiredly.
“Give me a facial description”
I was going to find the bastard. No one. I mean, no one gets away with hurting Ava. He was going
to regret the day he was fucking born.
It doesn’t matter. When I escaped, he found us first. I kneed him in the balls, then shot both his
thighs
I can’t help the small smile that forms on my lips. I liked this side of Ava. Loved that she was no
longer willing to take crap from anyone.
Before I could ask why she thought escaping was a good idea, we heard the sirens, shouts, and
shots. Gabe, Travis, and the paramedic reach us moments later.
The paramedics take Emma from Ava’s lap before placing her on a stretcher.
“What happened?” one of them asks.
I see Ava hesitate a little before answering.
“She got shot while we were trying to escape. I tried to stop the bleeding as best as I could, but she
as time went by and finally lost–consciousness.” Her eyes were trained on Emma’s form.
“Is she going to be alright?” she asked, her voice full of fear.
This is one of the things I’ve come to love about her. Emma has been nothing but horrible to her,
but that d
stop her from worrying about her. She was a fucking angel, and I curse myself that
it has taken me this long to figure that out.
“Yes. Her pulse is a bit weak, but she’ll be okay once we get her to a hospital”
They wheel her away.
“Are you okay, Ava?” Travis asks her. The concern in his eyes was clear.
“Yes” Her answer comes out in a low voice as she struggles to get up. “Go, be with Emma. I’m okay
and she needs you more”
He nods his head before bending down to kiss her cheeks. I know it’s from the fact that she’s worn
out that she doesn’t push him away. Otherwise, her reception would have been entirely different.
He leaves, and I give Gabe the signal to follow him.

“Need help?” I question after watching her struggle to get up.
“Yes please” she answers, looking at me tiredly.
I bend dow, and pick her up. Hugging her close to my chest, I begin walking.
“I said I needed help standing up, not being carried” Her argument lacks her normal fire backing it up. It goes to show just how worn out she was.
I don’t answer. Just pull her closer to me. It felt right with her in my arms like this. Like everything in the fucking universe was aligning itself. If I could stay like this forever, then it’s a fate I would gladly accept.
As I walk with her to my car, I can’t help but wonder. I’ve never allowed myself to be this close to her. To hold her, hug her or kiss her. I always held a part of myself hidden from her. So it makes me wonder if, had I allowed myself, would it have felt like this? Like she was the missing piece of
my soul?
I was just getting to my car when Brian stops me.
“What?” I growl at him. Couldn’t he fucking see that I was carrying precious cargo?
“We were able to get most of the Reapers, but Reaper himself escaped” he says, delivering the bad
news.
It makes me want to pound someone. The fact that he keeps evading us makes me fucking
furious. As long as he was still out there, none of those I care about would be safe.
“Just fucking find him” I snap before walking away.
“We are here” I say when she opens her beautiful eyes.
Before she can jump down. I take her into my arms and carry her in. As soon as the nurses notice us, they drag a wheel chair towards her.
“Don’t worry sir, we’ll take care of her and call you immediately we have news” they assure me when I refuse to let her go.
“Please call my parents” she tells me before they wheel her away.
I then call my parents to check up on Noah. The moment I got the call from Ronny, I asked them to pick him up. Once I make sure that he’s safe I head towards the waiting room where I find Gabe,
“Any news?” I ask sitting down.
“Not yet” Travis answers.

Somehow along the way, my feelings changed. Now she wanted nothing to do with me. Everything I did in the past, thinking it was justified, now stands in the way. It made everything I did suspicious in her eyes. It fucked up every effort I made, and it made sure that she’ll never trust
