Where We Belong

Chapter 58

"They sure do take some time in there" I sighed bringing the beer bottle to my lips.

"Church is church. All I know is you don't interrupt them unless it's urgent" Chantelle said sliding a shot glass my way. "May as well start early".

"I'll drink to that" I grinned slamming the shot back just as the wooden doors opened and voices filled the bar.

"Maybe instead of drinking my booze you could serve it?" Marko grinned playfully as he smacked Lexi on the ass.

"Your like a brother to me stop smacking my ass" She huffed disappearing behind the bar.

"Shots Chantelle, really?"

Flicking my eyes up towards the voice I gulped. I'm guessing this was Cooper. Standing at around 6 foot and built like the side of a house he was very intimidating. His arms were covered in tattoos and he was like a wall of muscle. Were all these men well built?

"Only one baby.."

Tuning out I frowned when I couldn't see Blaze. Where had he got to? Sighing I turned around leaning my elbows on the bar and placing my head in my hands. I missed home. We had only been here one day and I wanted to leave already. I missed my mom, I missed my job heck I even missed my dad. Yes the girls were great but I was bored and I missed my friends or should I say I missed Ally she was the only friend I had made. Feeling the vibrations coming from my pocket made me remember I had my phone.

'Hey sweetheart how's the trip? Feels weird not having you here. Stay safe and listen to Blaze. Baby is moving lower so it shouldn't be long now! I hope your okay! Call me anytime darling!'

Now I really wanted to go home. I hated being away from my mom on any occasion but right now I wanted her the most. I had no idea what was going on with me.

"You alright darlin'?"

Clearing my throat and blinking so my tears wouldn't fall. "I'm okay" I lied flashing him a smile.

"You don't look okay kid. I may not be your dad Ava but I'm your dads best friend and he'd kill me if anything happened to you while under my watch".

Hearing those words my tears fell as a sob escaped my mouth. I was defiantly due my period. Being a women sucked at times.

"Hey" He cooed slipping his arm around my shoulder "What's got you so upset? Has someone said something to you?" He growled his protectiveness like a comforter. It was nice to know someone else had my back here. I for some reason felt like an outsider.

"I'm okay" I sniffed slipping of the bar stool and out of his embrace "Thanks and if Blaze asks tell him I went for a lie down".

With the look he was giving me I knew he wasn't convinced. Turning on my heel I went back to the room I'd be staying in while I was here. Another thing I missed was the comfort of my own bed.

Closing the door behind me I sat on the end of the bed, phone in hand. Would it be okay if I went home? Sighing I threw my phone onto the pillow and disappeared into the bathroom. Seeing the evidence on my pants I groaned, this was all I flipping needed. Fixing myself I walked out of the bedroom in search of Blaze, I needed to go to the store.

"He's in there Ava" Lexi smiled as she continued collecting empty glasses. Smiling at her I walked towards the thick wooden doors taking a deep breath before I entered. Glancing at him I noticed the phone glued to his ear.

"Not yet-I know pres! Yeah she's fine talk soon" Snapping the phone shut he threw it onto the table in front of him.

"My dad?" I asked as I watched him run both hands through his hair. "Is something wrong?".

"Nothing's wrong just checking in with him" He sighed getting to his feet.

"My mom texted so I'm just going to give her a call then I'm going to get Lexi to take me to the store" Why did I suddenly feel awkward around him? Turning on my heel I walked as fast as I could back out to the bar area.

"Carly comes in at 4 to cover my shift. I was thinking we could go to my house and get ready before we go out?" Lexi smiled placing a tray of drinks on the bar as an awkward Amy stood waiting for them.

"Can you take me to the store?" I asked leaning forward I motioned for her to come closer "Or do you have a tampon?". I whispered as quietly as I could. I didn't need for everyone to know I was on my period.

"Those drinks won't walk over there on there own Amy, y'know Marko hates waiting. Go!" She snapped before turning her attention back towards me. "I keep spares in main bathroom top shelf of the

cab" She winked before

het

wandering off. "Be ready to leave at

4" she called out.

If only I knew where the main bathroom was. Sighing I walked back to the bedroom to find Blaze lying in the centre of the bed, eyes closed and his hands behind his head.

"Where's the main bathroom?" I asked

"4 doors down and remember to lock it its fair game in here when you don't belong to anyone".

"I'll remember that". Yep he was still pissed about today. I was too emotionally unstable to give a shit because if we got into an argument I would just

cry.

...

Closing the door I pushed the lock and then checked to make sure it wouldn't open. Pulling open the cab I grabbed the box only to find it was empty.

Really?

"You could have just took a shit in here. I wouldn't have minded" Blaze sniggered as soon as I stepped back into the bedroom.

"I need you to take me to the store" Ignoring his comment I crossed my arms over my chest. It was always hot and cold with Blaze, god forbid you do something he doesn't like you have to deal with what I'm dealing with right now.

"Blaze I-.."

"Heard you the first time sweets you don't have to repeat yourself".

Yet he still made no attempt to get up! This is when I missed my car.

"I have my period so if you don't get your fucking ass up right now and take me to the damn store I will-."

"You'll what?" He huffed

Feeling the tears well in my eyes I turned my back on him. This is why I hated being a girl. Hormones are a pain in the ass.

"I'll get Marko to take me to the store and then I'm going to call my dad and ask if he'll send someone to get me. I'm not staying here when your acting like this".

"Acting like what?" He asked my hand freezing on the door handle. Turning so I could face him I wiped my cheeks dry. "Are you crying?".

"I told you I have my period" I

croaked. I hated myself for crying in front of him for nothing. "Your acting like a child because of what happened today. I won't stay here when you'll say anything you can just to hurt me, like you always do when I do something you don't like or I don't listen to you. I don't deserve it so to make this trip easier for you I'm going to go home".

Watching as he got of the bed and walked towards me he placed both hands on my shoulders "I'm not trying to hurt you sweets and I know I take my anger out on you

sometimes but this has nothal new

to

do with you. I have no leads on who the rat could be and I've been observing everyone all day". He sighed

"What about that guy you don't like?" I sniffed.

Rubbing his hands down my arms he grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me towards the bed. Sitting next to him I waited for him to reply.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I may hate his guts but the bastards loyal to his club". Stroking my thumb over his knuckles I wondered if it was a good idea to mention his wife. "I want to get this out the way so I can get you home but I have no fucking clue on where to start".
