I smiled trying to lighten the mood.
She was freaked out and I didn't blame her. God knows what we were thinking leaving the cabin.
"You're holding a gun Ava".
"It's not the first time I've held one probably won't be the last time I've shot one either" I shrugged
"Hold up" pulling the car into the side of the road she turned in her seat to look at me. "What the hell has happened to you? Why are you saying it won't be the last time you've shot one. What's going on?".
We really didn't have time to stop and do this
"Look who my family are Ally, look what has happened to me over the last few months".
"You're scaring me Ava" She whispered "We don't kill people we save then and you're sitting there with a gun in your possession"
"You should get Cage to give you one because you never know what might happen now can we please get moving?" I asked
"This isn't you why are you talking like this? Ava you're a doctor for god sake. I don't know how to handle this anymore" She panicked
"Trust me Ally this isn't what I planned either. I love my job I love saving people's life but I need to also look after myself because I can't safe life's if I'm dead. I need to face up to this and realise Blaze isn't always going to be around to save me and I'm always going to have people chasing after me. Once we get back home go home I'll-..."
"No way I'm not leaving you" She yelled cutting me off "I'm freaking the fuck out but there is no way I'm leaving you. I'm in this just as much as you are and I knew what I was getting into the first night I stepped into the clubhouse. I mean you did warn me" Sighing she lay her head against the steering wheel. "It's true what they say love the man love the club. Why the fuck did I have to fall in love with him?".
"You're in love with Cage? Does he know this?" I asked as she straightened up.
Shaking her head "I haven't told him because I don't know how he feels and I don't want to go confessing my love for him and he turns around and tells me he feels nothing. I can take a lot but I don't think I'd be able to handle that".
"He definitely feels something or he wouldn't act the way he does. Once this is over with tell him how you feel at least if you do you'll know where you stand. Now can we please get going before I get the dreaded phone call and he makes me turn around".
"Right your right" Putting the car back into drive she pulled away from the side of the road. "How are things with you and Blaze?" She asked picking up a little speed.
"We're taking it slow like tortoise slow but right now we're doing okay. I thought I was dead set on not going back there but I can't explain how he makes me feel. I didn't expect to still feel the same way about him after everything he had done heck if I know how to explain it but it's like he sets a fire inside me and it can't be put out".
"Have you fucked him recently?".
"Ally" I groaned shoving her leg with my good hand.
"What? A best friend has to know these things" She laughed causing me to shake my head. This girl was sex daft.
"Haven't had sex since the day of my accident and anyway it's pretty hard to be intimate when I've got a broken leg and hand".
"Be pretty easy if he's doing all the work" She winked.
"Eyes back on the road. I'm going for a...-"
Hearing the vibrations coming from my phone cut me off. Feeling the dread start in the pit of my stomach I looked down at my screen.
"Is that..."
"Yes" I whispered as the vibrations stopped and then started again.
Shit!!
"He knows"
