Chapter Fifteen

Jaxon

My worst nightmare has come true. Elisa saw me fight, saw the darkest part of me. Saw all the ugliness of the business I do in the club. I never wanted her to know any of it. I knew she would hate me and now she does. I need to explain everything to her. Tell her I would never hurt her. That I would do anything to keep her safe.

I shove people out of the way but everybody wants congratulate me while Elisa is getting further and further away. Finally, I make it out of the crowd and sprint upstairs in record time. I see her at the door and shout after her but she keeps running down the street. A car pulls out of a side road and my heart stops. Elisa doesn’t see the car until it's too late. I hear tires squeaking but the car can’t stop in time. Elisa is thrown onto the hood and into the windshield. I run to her so fast I can’t feel my legs move, I can't feel anything besides the ache in my chest. She got hurt and It’s my fault, again. I kneel next to her motionless body.

It seems forever until we hear the sirens and the ambulance finally gets here. I watch them as they put her on a gurney, hook her up to machines and put an IV in her arm. They won’t let me ride in the ambulance so I tell them I’ll be right behind them in my own car. When I run back to the club I find Colt and Hunter arguing at the door. I hear Hunter yell, “Why did you even bring her here, dude?” That's all I needed to hear to see red. I don’t give him a chance to explain. I grab Colt by his shirt and slam him against the wall. He looks at me with wide eyes, his mouth hanging open in shock.

“You brought her here?” I manage to say through my teeth.

“This is your fucking fault! You are out, do you understand. If I ever see your face here again I will kill you.” I am surprised at myself how much I meant what I just said. Maybe even more surprised than Colt. I want to punch him so bad but
