Where We Belong novel (Ava and Blaze) Book 1 novel Chapter 120

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.
