Where I Belong

Watching the door open I caught the look on my mom's face "Is that what you really think?" She asked "That you wouldn't be who you are if I hadn't got up and left town?"

Sighing I ran a hand over my face "You said it yourself mom. You didn't want that life for me so we left".

"Ava those men are good men who protect you with there life. Tommy especially" She snapped.

"I didn't say they didn't but mom look around you. Tommy is lying in a hospital bed fighting for his life. What if that had been me?" I asked "These men are dangerous and they don't give a shit who they hurt. Do you want to know what I really think? I think that I made the worse decision ever agreeing to come back here, that's what I think".

"Don't say that Ava, don't you dare. If it wasn't for those boys out there you would have probably been dead". She yelled

"Yes dead because of them because of the MC" I yelled. Why didn't she get that? "I don't want to argue with you mom and I'm not going to".

"This baby will grow up in a loving family. With a mom and dad that love it and a sister that will spoil it. You didn't have a bad life here Ava. I did what I did because I thought it was best for you. Don't run your mouth and say otherwise. I'm going back to your dad because right now he needs me. You don't leave without telling him your going or without someone with you". Slamming the door behind her I winced. Why did I have to say anything? I should have kept my big mouth shut.

"What did she mean you would have probably been dead?" Ally asked remembering me that she was still in the room. She had just witnessed that.

"Nothing" I sighed checking my phone.

"Bullshit Ava. Fuck I'm your friend, what will it take for you to trust me? For you to know that you can talk to me?".

"I was almost raped by a member from a rival MC. A guy that I worked with, I had no idea he was apart of Vagos. I thought he was just a guy trying to get into my pants. How wrong was I" I laughed. This was the first time I had told anyone about what happened. I hadn't even spoke to my mom about it. Yes she knew but it wasn't a subject we discussed.

"Fuck Ava I'm sorry" She said standing and coming to sit on my desk. "That must have been terrifying".

"You have no idea. I thought I was going to die and my mom was right I probably would have if it wasn't for Blaze, Tommy and Jared".

"Is that why your close with Blaze?" She asked.

"I'm not close with Blaze" I said "I guess I was but not anymore. I'm not really close with anyone from the MC. They protect me because of my dad. God if he knew half the shit that Blaze had done he'd shoot both his knee caps". "What did he do?"

Shit did I say that part out loud?

"Not really want to talk about it" I smiled "So what about you and Cage?" I smirked wiggling my eyebrows. I had to get the topic of me.

"Nothing" She blushed shifting her gaze to the wall behind me.

"Oh really then why are you blushing?" I chuckled.

"We're just having fun. But fuck me that boy has some amount of energy".

"So those bags under your eyes have nothing to do with work?" Smirking at her I knew what the answer was going to be.

Shaking her head she grinned "All night long Ava no joke". Hearing her beeper go off my stomach dropped.

"I gotta go".

"I'm coming too" I panicked.

"Ava I think it would be best you didn't. You won't be focused at all, your heads already all over the place. I got this and I'll let you know". Not giving me time to argue she ran from my office and down the hall.

She was right. I couldn't be the doctor dealing with Tommy. By the time I got to the waiting area I couldn't see anything but cuts. Was the whole MC here? Making my way through the bodies I stopped when I got to my dad. He didn't look any better than before.

"Baby you need some rest. The guys won't leave but you need sleep before you make any decisions" my mom whispered

"Don't tell me what I need" my dad snapped causing my eyes to fall into slits.

"Don't talk to her like that" I snapped "You need to go home and think before doing something stupid and there's another dead body in the fucking ground" Feeling the sting on my cheek my hand automatically went to my face. Feeling the tears well I stood looking at him my mouth falling open. He hit me.. "Franko" my mom gasped

"Ava im-..

"Don't touch me" I yelled stepping away from him. Before he could say anything I ran, ran until I was in the parking lot. Moving my jaw I winced when it clicked. I think my jaw was broken. Fuck my old man had some strength. "Sweets?"

Great just what I fucking needed. "Of course you would come and see if I was alright" Throwing my hands in the air I brought them back down and pulled at my hair. No more games and no more being nice. "What do you want?". "Your jaw is broken" He said

"Well no shit sherlock. Have you seen the size of my dad.. don't touch me" I snapped flinching away from him. "Don't. touch. me. ever" I grit out.

"Why are you being such a bitch? I came to check if you were okay. Do you see anyone else bothered?" He roared.

"I didn't ask you to" I yelled back "I didn't ask for any of this but I guess it comes with the territory".

"What the fuck are you talking about?".

"Just go away Blaze. What will it take for you to leave me alone?" I sighed not having the energy to fight anymore.

"Tell me you don't want me".

"W-What?" I stuttered his answer throwing me of guard.

"Tell me you don't want me and ill leave you alone for good".

"I don't want you".

"Fuck you said that and you didn't even flinch".

"I don't want you. I've met someone else". Watching the hurt in his eyes had me dropping my gaze from his. I couldn't stand it. I wasn't about to let him guilt trip me or make me feel bad. He can't honestly think I would still want to be with him, to give us a shot after what I walked in on last night. That just proves he'd never stay faithful.

"Who?"

"That's none of your concern. I told you I didn't want you now leave me alone" I sighed turning my back on him. "Ava.."

"I said leave me alone".

This is what I should have done to start with. I should never have let him in, never should have trusted him. Maybe now he'll realise I'm not playing anymore. That he can't just think I belong to him. Sitting on the edge of the pavement I pulled my phone out noticing I had a text from Nate.

'I'm bored :('

'Don't you have a company to run?'

Rolling my eyes I hit send. Must be great being your own boss. Standing up I dusted off my bum before heading back inside. Going into the staff toilet I winced when I noticed my face was swollen, the bruising already forming. Running the cold tap I splashed some onto my face. Hearing the toilet flush one of the stalls opened revealing miss slutty pants.

"Oh hi" She beamed

"You can't be in here. Staff only" I said throwing my paper towel into the trash.

"Yes and before you start with the whole Blaze is mine shit. You're welcome to him now if I catch you in here again I'll have security escort you from the building" Leaving her with her mouth hanging open I made my way to see how Tommy was holding up.

"He's stable for-.. Holy shit what the hell happened to your face? Is your jaw broken?" She panicked

"I'm okay Ally, it'll heal. How's Tommy?" I asked.

"He's stable and I'm sure he'll make it through the night. Ava who the hell did that to you? Can I have a look?".

Shaking my head yes I groaned as she pressed about my face "Definitely broken. Damn Ava that sure is a sore one" she hissed.

"I'm going to grab my paperwork and do it at home. I'll have my pager so if you need me don't be afraid to call me".

"We've got it handled here. Please just go home and take a few sick days, at least until that's healed".

"Thanks Ally. Tell Josh I've got food poisoning. He doesn't need to know I have a broken jaw because then he'll ask questions".

"You got it. I'll phone you in a couple of days and I'll contact you if something changes. Slipping out the back is probably better I'll go fill them in on how he's doing" she smiled but it didn't quite reach her eyes.

Not having to explain myself I mouthed a thank you to her before heading back to my office to pick up my stuff. I really needed to go back to that wine bar so I could find my car.

Stepping outside I did a double take when I noticed my car in the parking lot. Was I tripping? Wiping my eyes I blinked a few times. Nope still there. How did it even get there? Was it there when I came out here earlier?

Unlocking the door I jumped in hitting the lock button again once I was settled. It had become quite a habit for me to lock my doors as soon as I got in. Never know what might happen. Putting my key in the ignition I went to shift gear when I noticed a rose sticking out the glove box, a note stuck on the stem. Pulling it out a smile pulled at the corner of my mouth.

'I knew you couldn't get far without your car. Took it apon myself to return it to you. P's your choice in music is rather disturbing Nate :)'

Laughing out loud I turned on my stereo Trey Songz came blaring out my speakers. Ain't nothing wrong with a little bit of Trigga. Driving down the street I realised I had to go to my dad's so I could pick up the rest of my stuff, one problem I didn't know how to freaking get there. I didn't want to but there was only one person I had in my contact list that knew how to get there. Opening up a new message I put my stubbornness too one side and texted him.

'I need to get to my dad's house so I can pick up the rest of my stuff. I don't know how to get there. Is there any chance you could meet me?'

Seconds later I had a reply.

'Busy'

That was that then. I guess I could always buy some new stuff until I could pick up mine. Pulling up outside a small grocery store I grabbed my phone it vibrating in my hand. 'That's why I have staff :) are you free?'

'Depends'
