side and wraps his hand around mine as the nurses pushes me through the double doors and down the sterile corridor to an examination room.
“You two wait here, the doctor will be along shortly, would you like anything for the pain dear?”
“Yes please.”
“Very well I’ll be back in a minute with some painkillers” she turns to Cash, “do not let her fall asleep, young man.”
“No mam” he says firmly.

As soon as Ever’s wheelchair disappears around the corner I’m up and pacing the length of the waiting room the guys watching me warily. There’s this aching pit of darkness inside me begging to be set free, to hurt and damage and kill the person responsible for hurting Everleigh.
The only reason why I managed to hold back from going for him when we first got to him, is because Ever needed me more and like Rafe reminded us earlier there were too many witnesses. I would’ve gone away, and I can’t leave Ever. She makes it ok. All of it, it just hurts a little bit less when she’s around, making it just a bit easier to breath.
I run my hands through my hair tugging hard on the strands.
“You ok man?” Rafe asks softly.
“No.”
“She’s ok. She’s safe and we’ve got her. We won’t let her out of our sight again, that cunt is going away and once he’s there we know people that can make sure he never gets out” Trick says darkly.
I know it shouldn’t but his words really do comfort me making the darkness recede a bit, he won’t get away with this, none of us will let him and whilst there’s a possibility of parole Ever won’t be completely safe. I will not let anything happen to her. I may not be able to do anything about any of the men that worked with Ever’s father but this is one thing I can do something about. I pull out my phone to text Matt and call in that favour.
“We need to call the parents, they expected us home ages ago” Riot says.
“Dude, just message Jenny she will let them all know” Luc says.
“Good point, Trick that ones on you” Riot grins.
Trick flips him the bird and types out a text on his phone, there’s no way Jenny is going to let him get away with just sending her a text after everything that’s happened and as predicted his phone starts ring immediately.
“Fuck” he says tiredly running a hand through his hair, “any news at all you come and get me immediately” he demand’s and we nod.
This whole thing has us all pretty fucking shaken up, I just want Ever in my sights, so I know she’s safe and really ok. We’re all silent lost in our own thoughts whilst Trick’s outside talking to Jenny. It doesn’t take long for him to return looking even more worn out than before.
“What happened?” I ask.
“Well I’m pretty sure they’re all going to be turning up here, even though I tried to tell them that it wouldn’t be a good idea” Trick sighs heavily.
“Are we even going to be here long enough for them to all turn up?” Riot asks.
“Yeah, I want to get Ever home and tucked into bed, she needs rest” I add.
“I don’t know man but even if they turn up after we’ve gone that’s on them, I warned them” Trick says chuckling quietly.
“Good point, hey can you imagine if Atlas was there tonight?” Riot chuckles darkly, switching topics.
“Jeremy would’ve been dead or missing limbs at least” Trick grins wickedly.
“Definitely, he’ll be too fucking curious about Ever. It’s not like we kept quiet about her, he knew exactly what she meant to us” I chuckle.
“Why do you think he left?” Rafe signs.
“I dunno man, there’s obviously more to it than him just up and leaving” Trick says distractedly, like the rest of us his eyes keep darting towards the doors Ever disappeared through.
“If it’s as dangerous as it seems then he probably won’t be able to tell us fuck all even when we see him in person” Luc adds.
“What do you think Ever’s going to think of him? Should we warn her?” Riot asks.
“We have warned her, if anything it just intrigues her more” Trick chuckles and we all grin, it’s a fucking good job that our Ever likes dangerous men.
“That doesn’t surprise me in the least” Riot chuckles, “I meant about his whole
