Where We Belong novel (Ava and Blaze) Book 1 novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135

Every time I seen it I was sick to my stomach. The constant reminder of what they had done to me. Again I scrubbed at my leg but it did nothing but make my skin red and angry. I was stuck with it, it was always going to be on my skin. Hearing a knock at the door I wiped at my eyes.

"Just a sec" He had only seen it once and the look in his eyes is one I'll never forget. I had done something I'd never done before, I'd locked the door. To ashamed in case he walked in.

"Ava why's the door locked?"

Quickly clipping my bra I pulled on a pair of sweatpants and unlocked the door. I was embarrassed, I didn't want him to look at me.

"Thought you weren't going to shut me out?" He asked walking further into the bathroom. Taking a seat on the edge of the bath he watched me closely.

"I only locked the door Blaze it's not a big deal" Pulling one of his hoodies over my head I walked back into our bedroom looking for my sneakers.

"And now you're wearing my hoodie?".

"Thought you liked it when I wore your clothes?" I fired back slipping my feet into my shoes.

"Does look better on you than it does me" He smirked his eyes trailing over my body. Rolling my eyes I pulled my hair into a high pony tail. "Get showered we have to leave soon". I was trying my hardest to act normal could say I was good at faking it. My insides were crumbling, I wanted to cry every 5 minutes but I refused to be the victim. I had to put on a front, show that I could be strong when in all honesty all I wanted was the ground to swallow me up and make me disappear.

"I'll make you a fresh coffee" Turning my back on him I made my way downstairs. For the first time since we met I felt awkward around him. I didn't know how to act around him anymore. He has shown me that nothing has changed but I can't help the little voice in the back of my head telling me he'll leave me.

Hearing the roar of a bike engine my eyebrows knitted together. My stomach dropped as my thoughts went into overdrive. What if my dad got word before I could tell him? Peeking through the blind my body physically relaxed when I saw Jared demount his bike but he wasn't alone.

Pulling open the front door a Starbucks cup was pushed in my face "Went an extra 2 bucks this time" He grinned "Even got the chocolate dust on it for you and a donut". Rolling my eyes I let him and Duke in. Quickly looking around outside I closed the door and went to join them in the living room.

"VP about?" Jared asked

"He's in the shower, Jared what's in that other box?" I asked afraid that I already knew the answer.

Grinning at me he looked over at Duke who was wearing the same grin. Oh god please tell me they didn't.

"Blaze shouldn't be long tell him I already left to go to the clubhouse" Grabbing my keys and my phone I knew getting out of here on my own was going to be difficult.

"Don't think so sweetheart not on my watch. Now sit and drink your coffee" He said as he stood in front of the living room door.

"Jared" I sighed "I'm sure I can make it to the clubhouse on my own besides I'm sure you all have things to discuss".

"Ava" He sighed

I knew it was useless because I knew there was no way he'd let me leave on my own.

"Fine" I huffed for once doing as I was told. "Can you at least go check on him he's been up there for a while" It wasn't like Blaze to take this long to get ready.

Now it was awkward...

"I owe you an apology" I said breaking the awkward silence between myself and Duke.

"You don't owe me anything Ava. It's me that should be apologising to you. I never should have-..."
