"You're right you don't deserve her but I know deep down she still cares for you. Don't give up on her this time Blaze because if you do you might not get another chance and don't break her heart again because you won't like the outcome this time. Now for the sake of my daughters health please go home and take a shower" She smiled slightly shoving my shoulder.
"You'll call if she wakes?" I asked getting to my feet. Bending over I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. I guess going 3 weeks without a wash wasn't a good thing.
"I promise and make sure they cook you something before you come back".
"Fine" I grumbled not wanting to leave her but what choice did I have?
Throwing herself at me she wrapped her arms around my waist. God she was just as little as Ava. "Thank you for always looking out for my baby. Her father and I really appreciate it even if we don't tell you. And Blaze you are good enough for her" She whispered placing a kiss on my cheek.
Giving her one more glance I left her room making my way through the waiting area and out the front doors to my bike. Catching sight of Franko talking with Tommy I strolled towards them.
"How you holding up?" Tommy asked as he passed me his smoke. Taking a long drag I inhaled deeply before letting it all out. Truth be told I wasn't holding up and the only thing keeping me going was knowing she was still breathing.
"Not great then" He answered for me. What was he expecting me to say?
"I want everyone at church tonight" Franko said as he dropped the butt of his cigarette and lit up another one. "I need to know everyone is focused and I need some sort of lead or heads are going to start rolling".
Fuck church I wasn't leaving her.
"On it prez and don't worry we'll get the bastards" Tommy growled slapping Franko on the shoulder before making his way into the hospital.
"I know what you're going to say but fuck Blaze I need your head to be in this. I need you focused".
"How can I be focused when she's fucking lying in there? I can't focus on anything but Ava and I know you're desperate to find those fuckers and trust me so am I but right now.."
"I want them dead before she wakes up Blaze. I want their prez brought to me so I can make his death a slow and painful one" He said cutting me off.
"I want that more than anything but do you think going in all guns blazing when we don't even know where they are is such a good idea?" I asked
"I don't give a fuck how we do it. My little girl is lying in a hospital bed fighting for her fucking life because of they bastards. You of all people should be wanting to kill those fuckers with your bare hands".
"I fucking do Franko more than anyone but let's be smart about this one. Once we get a lead on where they are then we go after them but right now we lay low. Who's to say they won't come back and finish her off?"
I was wiping the blood from my nose before I realised what had happened. Snorting out the blood I bared my teeth. That fucker got me good and now I knew where Ava got it from. Glaring at him I knew now wasn't the time to push anymore of his buttons.
"I can't stand here and do nothing not while she's in there lying helpless. I need to throw something there way. A warning, anything but they need to know we are coming for them".
"You do what you gotta do prez but right now I gotta look after the only thing that keeps me going. You need me to do anything you let me know but I won't be attending church tonight".
Slumping against the wall he brought his hand up and wiped at his eyes. "You look after her and don't leave her side for no one not even the doctors. I'll keep you in the loop about what our move will be".
Nodding my head I gave his back a pat as I mounted my bike. I had wasted time and I really couldn't afford to do that not when she could wake up at any second. Clipping my helmet together I turned the key to my bike and revved my engine.
"Oh and Blaze take a fucking shower before you come back here" He grumbled chucking his cigarette away before heading back inside.
One thing was for sure him and Aubrey were well suited.
Pulling into the clubhouse my eyes fell into slits when I noticed the parked SUV. I knew who it was and I knew it was going to happen sooner or later but right now wasn't the fucking time. Yes he was my brother and yes I hated that he was dating Ava but in the last 3 weeks he has never once shown his face at the hospital. Growling I unhooked my helmet and jumped of my bike. I couldn't deal with him right now and he better stay out my way.
Storming into the clubhouse I noticed how quiet and eerie it was and then my eyes landed on my brother. Who does he think he is coming into my territory with his fancy car and his fancy suits.
"You're not staying so get the fuck out" As soon as the words left my mouth Shane got to his feet. "And take your lap dog with you" I growled my hands balling into fists.
