“Morning Ella, why are you up so early?”“Things to do,” I tell him handing him the coffee, and he smiles“Damn, thank you. I could so use this” I smile as he sniffs the warm drink“Did you get all of the things Saint asked for?” I ask him, and he nods“Yeah, they're all in the tent” I smile“Marquee,” I tell him, and he frowns“What?” he asks me“It’s called a marquee, not a tent.”“But it’s a tent” I smile“Alright, I’m getting to work, thanks again,” I tell him, and he gives me a chin lift I see so many of them do“If you need any help Jake’s around somewhere,” he tells me and nod walking to the marquee. As I round the corner I run straight into Jake, we haven’t spoken much since the accident, he seems to be busy all the time, and really he makes me a little uncomfortable“Good morning Jake, how are you?” I ask him, and he looks down trying to avoid eye contact “Jake,” I say, and he looks up at me “are you ok?”“I’m sorry,” he says, and I look at him confused“For what?” I ask“For surviving” tears prick my eyes as I look at him, my heart breaking for him“Jake, the accident wasn’t your fault,” he shakes his head looking at me“I’m gonna make it better,” he tells me, and I frown at him“How?”“That old bastard's gonna pay for Chance Gunner… you” I grab both of his shoulders and give him a little shake, and he looks at me again“Jake, please honey, don’t do anything, it was an accident, it will never bring them back, they're gone.”“No, he has to pay, he has to, a life for a life,” he says as a tear slides down his cheek, and I wipe it away, pulling him to me, but he pushes me away “He has to pay Ella.”“Honey no,” I tell him but he walks off mumbling to himself (dammit) I go to follow him, but run into Bliss, and she sneers at me“Ella,” she says smugly“Why are you up so early?” I ask her“Saint asked me to help you, so here I am,” she says just as Summer Lila and Candy come walking around the corner“Hey Ella, we're here to help,” Summer says, and I smile, out of all the whores she’s ok“Well then ladies, let’s get this marquee decorated for Zoey and Saint,” I tell them all and they all smile except Bliss (bitch).Chapter Twenty-SevenBlazeWhen I wake the next mornin’ it’s to people yellin’, I go to the window and see Ella “Damn, she looks good” I tell the empty room and get dressed fast. I head down to the kitchen, and as I walk in I see Cuff place his arm over Ella’s shoulders, and I almost lose it“What the fuck is going on?” I ask fuckin’ pissed“Just helping Ella out,” Cuff says, and I can see the fucker enjoyin’ this shit“How are you helping her out?” I ask him wantin’ to rip his fuckin’ arm off and beat him to death with it“She needs help with the flowers” I look at Ella, but she’s avoidin’ looking at me pissin’ me off even more“Well, I’m fuckin’ sure she doesn’t want you pawin’ all over her, so move ya fuckin’ arm” Cuff smiles, pulling Ella closer to him and I’m ready to kill the fucker“You don’t mind do ya darlin’?” he asks her, and she looks at me quickly then back at Cuff smiling“No, it’s fine, thank you for helping,” she says, but when she pats his chest and kisses his cheek and I see red“Show me where the flowers are going to go,” Terrance says, and they both walk out, and Ella stops and looks at Cuff“Give me five minutes Cuff, and I’ll be ready,” he nods smilin’ at her, and I wait until she’s gone until I swing my fist hittin’ Cuff and he hits the floor hard“What the fuck man?” Cuff says rubbin’ is cheek“Stay the fuck away from Ella,” I tell the fucker, and he laughs“I was just bein’ friendly,” he says, and I narrow my eyes on the grindin’ fuckwit“Well, keep ya fuckin’ friendly dick away from Ella, she’s mine,” I tell him“Since when?” he asks me“Since now, so stay the fuck away, I’d hate to put a bullet in ya,” I tell him as I walk out the door kickin’ the fuckhead for good measure.I find her outside with Terrance, and she turns lookin’ up at me “Give us a minute,” I tell him and he walks off “You still angry at me,” I ask her, and she does the one eyebrow up look and I try and pull her to me“You still stick your dick in Bliss,” she asks blushin’ as she says it“Baby,” she shakes her head
