chapter 34

Lucas

I sped down the road ignoring the fact I was not going the speed limit.

How could she pick that sick bastard over me.

She picked him over me, someone who knew her for years..

My hands clenched around the steering wheel, tightly.

Even if Hayley chose Ashton, I would still be there for her.

Now that she told me about the people after her, it was my job to protect her.

Because unlike Hayley, I care...

"Why do I have to be here?" I asked before wincing at the sound of gun shots.

We were at a place were many men were shooting and fighting.

I flinch at the sight of two men beating the life out each other...

"Because I said so." Ashton's rough voice said from behind me.

I turn to find him with no shirt, sweat covered his well defined eight pack.

I averted my gaze to the ground before hearing his deep chuckle.

"Just keep your pretty mouth quiet sweetheart."

I clench my jaws tightly at Ashton's words. I then heard doors opened and looked up to find Lucas, walking in.

Our eyes met and I swear I saw hurt and betrayal before they were...blank.

"Finally you arrive." Ashton mumble before throwing boxing gloves at Lucas, who caught them with ease.

Lucas was about to walk past me but I grabbed his arm.

"Can we please talk." I pleaded quietly but he ignored my gaze.

"I have to train."

I was hurt by his choice but let his arm go. He push past me making his way to the punching bag.

I watch as he took off his shirt before throwing it on the ground.

He then put on the gloves before punching the bag, hard.
