Leather In a heaven [Book:2] - EDITED

Chapter 4

~ Halo Connery King ~

Two Hours After...

"No! Fuck you Ace! I can't do this, I can't keep being here, all the time, dealing with this shit." I slammed my hands against his chest, reliving the last hour in my head, over and over.

Trees.

Wood.

Forrest.

Attack.

Gun.

Knife.

Rope.

Her.

Ace.

Me.

The body is an ever living image in my head, that I will never get past. I helped him. I helped Ace. Something I fight to have people put in prison for. I actually did.

"Halo." He said, not stopping my attack on his chest. His soft and gentle voice only made me angrier at him. Look what we have done. This wasn't just him and not just me. Once again, it's us.

It's always us.

"Halo." He said again, firmer this time. I slammed my hand to his chest one last time before he caught my wrists and held them between us. A silent sob escaped my lips as I fell into his body. His hand still held my wrists while his other wrapped round my body and held me to him. "I got you baby. I got you." He stroked my head.

Stop....

Present

"Ohhhh marshmallows!" Taylor danced her way out of the tent. We had spent the whole day hiking around the surrounding areas and up a mountain then back down. We all decided to come straight back and shower. The guys also wanted a quick power nap.

"Yeah, I thought we could do a fire." Carter said. She sat on a log, sharpening the ends of sticks and sticking a marshmallow on the end.

"Yeah, but look how dark it's getting already. We should get the sticks for the fire now before we loose light." I pointed to the almost black sky. "I'll make a start for it." Jameson came over wrapping his arm round my waist and giving me a quick peck.

"Don't take to long. I'm gonna go shower." You could have come with me! I nodded, giving him a smile, then kissed his cheek.

I looked round the group to see if anyone else was up for joining me. Carter was still sharpening sticks, while Isaac was making a call. Carter and Isaac had hit a rough patch last week, however I have a feeling all is good now. Taylor and Damon sat beside each other laughing at something Damon had said.

My mind flashed back to times that Ace and I experienced those kind of moments. We used to laugh and talks and be with each other, and hold each other and smile. Simple things, but amazing. Not that I care, he's probably experiencing those things with Liza now.

Although, each time I see those two together, I get a gut feeling that things aren't so pretty behind the scenes. But what relationships are? Ace and Liza had supposedly gone a walk. They probably snuck off somewhere, doing god knows what.

I pushed my thoughts aside as I began my hunt for wood for the fire. I veered off to the right and walked into the forest spotting some sticks laying on the floor along with several leafs attached - we could just pick them off. I spotted a couple far ahead of me, they only looked maybe about twenty years older than me - if that. They where holding up a map and stopped looking up at the trees.
