I head out for the freeway, assuming that Jamie will be heading straight home. I don’t know his address but I’ll find it out. I can pull over and call him, once I’m out of this damn town. I’m not gonna be anyone’s price for silence.
Pulling on the throttle I feel the front of the bike start to shake. I’m not all that experienced in riding. I learned to ride on the street outside my house, and I’ve never been further than a few blocks from our avenue.
The bike feels heavy and hard to handle, and after I hear a loud clunk, I lose control of the handlebars.
The front wheel wobbles like it’s come unbolted and I try to brake before I crash, but it’s too late. All I can do is try to swerve towards the grass verge and avoid any oncoming traffic. Then, as I hit the ground and everything goes black, I can’t help wondering if I’ll ever see him again.
“Have you got a death wish?” Beth meets me at the hospital doors and stands in front of me.
“Where is she?” I can barely breathe, the thought of her hurting and it being my fault is too much to take.
“She’s stable, Doctors say she’s gonna be ok, but she took a nasty knock to the head and has some serious road rash.
“Shit! I shouldn’t have left her that damn bike.” I punch my fist into the brick pillar beside me.
“You shouldn’t be here right now, if Declan catches you he’s likely to kill you.”
“Then you shouldn’t have called me. What did you expect me to do?”
“What thefuckis this piece of shit doing here?” Levi spots me when he comes out the door, ready to light up a smoke. He drops it to the ground and marches over, grabbing me by my throat and shoving me against the glass window.
“Levi, stop!” Beth screeches, tugging at his huge arm and attempting to drag it away.
“Icalled him. Mia was going to him, she’s in love with him.” Levi narrows his eyes into slits and stares into mine.
“You’rethe reason she’s lying in that bed.” He slackens his hold, and although he still looks pissed as hell, I can see he’s worried about her too.
“I gotta see her.” I shake my head, wishing his words weren’t true.
“It ain’t gonna happen, and if you value your life I suggest you hit the road.”
“I’m not leaving until I’ve seen her. I love her. Would you let anyone stop you from getting toherif she was hurt?” My eyes flip toward Beth and I watch the huge, hard-ass bastard soften right in front of me.
“Declan’s with her, they’re waiting for her to wake up. He’s mad right now. If he sees ya here, you’re dead.”
“I wanna talk to him, if he wants to kick the shit out of me that’s fine. Ain’t nothing I don’t deserve. But I’m not leaving until I’ve seen her.”
“Your fucking funeral.” Levi shrugs his shoulders and takes a step back.
“She’s on the second floor, She’s got a private room, just off ward 8,” Beth informs me, and I gratefully nod my head at her before marching through the doors.
There’s a cop talking to Declan out in the hall when I get out of the elevator, and I watch as he stares at the floor, nodding his head as he takes in what he’s saying. When his head lifts up and he spots me, he looks murderous.
“You son of a bitch!” He comes storming toward me. Slamming his fist hard into my face and knocking me onto the floor.
“She could havefucking died, and it’s all your fault!” He continues to lay blow after blow into me until the officer, and one of the hospital staff, pull him away.
“The front wheel wasn’t bolted properly, it came loose while she was riding. You left her a fucking death trap.”
“No.” I shake my head. “I checked those bolts, they were solid,”
“Not fucking solid enough!” Dec hisses as his finger jabs into my face
“I need to see her, just once then I’ll leave, I swear.”
“You’re not going anywhere near her,” he warns.
“Declan, I got a whole lot of respect for you, but when it comes to her, I will fight, and I won’t stop. I don’t know what happened, but I know I fixed that wheel properly. You have my word. I’m in love with her. Why would I want to hurt her?”
