Mafia Desire novel (Ava and Andrew) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61
Ava"s POV

I felt a pair of hands around my shoulders, shaking me awake. I groaned and slowly opened my eyes, feeling extremely nauseous and light headed.

"Ava wake up." I heard a familiar voice say, Travis.

A surge of energy flew through me when everything came back too me. I shot my eyes wide open and looked around, from where I was. I was still in the waiting room but instead of on the floor with Travis I was on a bench, in-between Travis and Seb.

Tears slowly made their way to my eyes and I felt my body start too shake again as I slowly looked up too where Travis was.

"Hey, its okay Ava." Travis said, looking me in the eye and stroking my shoulder with his thumb.

I had never cried this much in my life, not with Sylvester, not when Andrew broke my heart... twice but I couldn"t fathom a life worth living now that Andrew had come back into my life, I couldn"t have him leave me again.

"He is dead isn"t he?" I sobbed, looking into Traviss sad eyes.

"No, Ru-" He started but I started running too reception as soon as I heard Travis say that Andrew was alive.

"Jayson, where is he?" I yelled, trying to calm myself from the excessive amount of shaking and crying.

"Room 101, third door on the left." The lady replied, pointing to a pair of doors. I heard Travis calling after me but I ignored it and ran through the doors and into the busy hallway. I sprinted as fast as my feet could carry me too the room where Andrew was in.

I found the room and stopped right outside of it, I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself before I finally walked inside.

A weight was lifted off my shoulders but at the same time I felt a tightening in my chest when I saw him, laying on the hospital bed.

Countless wires and tubes were connected to his body with machines beeping next to him, his cheeks were hollow with almost no color in his lips, his body looked drained and his chest was slowly rising and falling.

He was alive but it looked as if at any minute he could die.

I walked over to the side of the bed and sat down on the chair that was placed on the left side of him. I entwined my hands into his, I felt myself shiver at the touch of his hands due too how cold and lifeless his hand felt.

I placed my head on the side of his shoulder and stopped crying, trying to calm myself now that I knew he was okay.

"Ava." Seb softly said, entering his room.

I lifted my head and looked up at him, "Is he going to be okay?" I asked, holding my breath for his answer.

"The bullet missed his heart by an inch but he lost an enormous amount of blood." He said, looking down at the floor.

"The doctors said that he will be asleep for a while but he could easily die in the next few hours." Seb continued. My heart clenched and I tried to steady my breathing.

"Thank you." I said, softly. Seb nodded his head and exited the room and most likely joined Travis in the waiting room.

I looked back at Andrew and squeezed his hand softly, "Please stay with me. I need you in my life." I said, praying for a reply.

But alas I got nothing but Andrews soft breaths, which was enough for me. I rested my hand on his and watched his chest rise and fall making sure at all times he was still alive.

A few hours later I had still not stopped watching him but I heard a noise from the door and directed my attention off of Andrew and too the noise. Before what sounded like footsteps could get any further I drew my gun from my thigh holster and pointed it at the man in the doorway.

He stopped in his tracks when he saw the gun I had that was aimed straight at his chest. I slowly started to observe him, he had a white coat, a blue outfit underneath and a clipboard that he was now hanging onto for dear life.

"Show me proof of employment." I said, still skeptical of him.

"O-okay." He said, slowly reaching into his pocket.

"I will fucking shoot you if you try anything." I yelled, wrapping my finger around the trigger.

"P-please d-don"t." He said, putting his hand back up in surrender.

I heard running footsteps coming from the hall and my senses instantly heightened. I grabbed the gun harder and was ready to shoot whoever came down the hall.

"Ava, what the hell are you doing?" Travis panted, coming from the hall. I furrowed my eyebrows and lowered my gun.

"Do you want to get shot?" I said, no amusement in my voice. I turned my attention away from Travis and back to the "doctor."

"Show. Me. Your. Badge. Or I will shoot you." I threatened. The doctor nodded his head frantically and reached into his pocket and pulled out his badge. I walked closer and grabbed the ID from his shaking hands.

"Okay, fine." I said, motioning for him too take care of Andrew once I had come to the decision that he was a real doctor. The doctor stumbled over too Andrew and started to check his vitals and other stuff.

"Ava, you need to calm down." Travis said, placing his hand on my shoulder. I tensed under his touch and removed his hand off of my shoulder, glaring at him.

"He is a gang leader. Do you really fucking think that people won"t try and kill him." I whisper yelled.

"Fine, I am just making sure your not in jail when Andrew wakes up." He said, rolling his eyes and directing his attention too Andrew and off of me.

"Mhm." I grumbled, rolling my eyes.

"Ava..." He started, again.

"What?" I asked, walking over to the chair that I was sitting in before.

"There is something I need to tell you." He said, looking at the ground and tensing up his body.

"Your scaring me. What is it?" I asked, worried what Travis was going too tell me.

"Um-" He started but was interrupted by an ear piercing scream.

Ava"s POV

I naturally reached down and drew my gun at the sound that had come from behind Travis and me. I wrapped my finger around the trigger but hesitated when all I saw was Travis"s back, hiding whoever it was that made the sound.

"Hello, Ms.Jayson." Travis said, still blocking my eyesight from them.

I dropped my gun and I felt tears stinging my eyes. I shoved Travis out of the way and looked at Veronica, Emily and Dalia. In that moment I forgot that Andrew was on the verge of life or death and I ran too Dalia, picking her up and bringing her into a bone crushing hug.

"Ava?" She asked, as I was still holding her in my arms.

"Hi, princess." I said, setting her back down on the floor and looking at her. She had grown a few inches but other then that she looked exactly the same. She looked back at me with a confused expression on her face, "Andrew said I would never see you again." She said, with a small frown on her face.

I sighed, knowing what she was talking about and looked up at Veronica and Emily, who both were in shock from seeing me.

"I know, I left for a while. But I am back now and I am not leaving." I said, trying best to explain too her. A confused look crossed her face but it quickly turned into a wide smile, "Yay, don"t ever leave again."She said, throwing herself into me. I let out a small laugh and hugged her back.

After a few moments she finally let me go and I stood up and drew my attention too Veronica and Emily.

"H-how are you here. Andrew said... he said tha-" Emily started, her hands trembling.

"I know, it"s a long story but for another time." I said, my smile turning back into a straight face after I heard Andrews name and remembering that Andrew was still not with me.

Veronica let out a sigh and pulled me into a tight hug, "I am just glad one of you is alive." She said.

I gave her a tight smile and patted her on the back, missing her but not wanting the thought of Andrew not surviving in my head. She pulled away and I could see in her eyes that she was on the verge of breaking down but she was trying to keep it together for Dalia.

Chapter 62
Dalia just nodded her head and continued too look at Andrew with a unsettling look on her face. I turned my head away from Andrew and Dalia too Emily and Veronica, who were both on the verge of breaking down.
