Where We Belong novel (Ava and Blaze) Book 1 novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Standing in the opening of the door I watched as Blaze had my little brother curled tightly in his arms. The sight was utterly beautiful and I felt sorry he had to go through the loss of a child.

"You'll want for nothing kid" He whispered "You have a great mom and dad and you have a beautiful, gorgeous, kind hearted sister that will spoil you to death. I wish she knew how special she was Leighton". Hearing those words leave his mouth I swallowed the lump that was lodged in my throat. "I blew my chance with her little man" He cooed as my brother slept in his arms. "I guess you really don't know what you've lost until it's gone. I had her too, she was mine and I fucked it up" He laughed and then apologised for swearing. "I'm not going to bother her anymore kid she deserves better than me and I had my chance and blew it but I will tell you this I'll always protect her so the guy that finally wins her heart better treat her right".

Deciding it was time to go back in I pushed the door open and smiled when his eyes met mine. "Thank you" I said taking a seat beside him. I can't believe those words left his mouth. Was he finally giving up? Has he now realised that we would have been no good together?

"How's you mom?" He asked placing Leighton in his cot.

"She's out cold" I chuckled running a hand over my face. I knew he was going to say something about last night I knew it was coming I just didn't know when. Honestly I wasn't ready to talk about it. It wasn't the time nor the place and I didn't want to ruin the mood.

"Cooper told me what happen" He piped up shoving his hands in his front pockets as he stood next to me. I felt small when he did that and it didn't help I was sitting down. "Why the hell did you run away?" He asked keeping his voice low but I knew he was pissed.

"I don't want to talk about it Blaze especially not right now" I whispered keeping my eyes on the ground.

"There's my little guy" My dad grinned as he walked into the room.

"I'm going for some fresh air" I muttered getting to my feet and leaving the room. I knew Blaze was right behind me I could feel his hand on my lower back. "You don't have to follow me I'm not going to run away". God he may as well put a collar around my neck and attach a leash.

"Really because you're fucking good at it".

Ignoring him I pushed the hospital door open welcoming the fresh air as it hit me. Taking a seat on the steps I watched as he matched my movements. So much for he wasn't going to bother me anymore.

"Those guys are taken care of and we'll be heading back as soon as we can. I still need to finish the job and your dad still needs to take care of it down here".

Say what now? I wasn't going back.

"We?" I asked. I wasn't going anywhere not when my mom had just gave birth. She'll need me here.

"Yes we just because you're moms had her baby doesn't mean everything is fine and dandy. We're still under lockdown we just had no choice but to leave the clubhouse". He muttered taking out a smoke.

"This is ridiculous" I huffed "I have a life to live as well Nate. You can't just expect me to keep giving it up".

"What did you just call me?" He snapped getting to his feet and standing in front of me.

"What are you talking about now? All I said was I have a life to live-..."

"You called me fucking Nate" He snapped cutting me of.

Did I? Oh!

"No I didn't now stop hovering over the top of me like some wild animal you're stealing all my fresh air". I can't believe I called him Nate I was definitely busted now.

"Yes you fucking did" He growled taking a hold of my chin, hard. Locking eyes with him I could see the anger in his. "Why the fuck did you call me Nate?".

"You're hurting me" I cried his grip tightening causing my eyes to water.

"Everything alright out here?"

Thank god for Tommy!

Dropping his hand from my face I quickly got to my feet. "Yes everything is fine" I mumbled about to make my move when his hand wrapped around my wrist.

"I suggest you head back in side Tommy" Blaze spat "We've got some shit we need to sort out". Sighing I took a seat back on the steps. This was it everything was going to come out.
