Hellbound MC - When Broken Hearts Collide

33. Alexis

I woke up scared, disorientated, and alone. The distant beep of some sort of machinery was the only sound in the room.

My mouth was dry, and my whole face throbbed like a bitch. Like I'd been punched in the face. And then my reality hit me, all the events that had unfolded came flooding back. I WAS punched in the face. By my worst nightmare.

I panicked looking around the room for a way to escape. Where even was I? Just as I began pulling the IV from my arm, a door opened and in walked a man I didn't recognize. Fear consumed me. What did this stranger want.

Oh shit your awake he said, before backing up and all but running back out the door.

Untangling myself from the cords that bound me, I swung my legs off the bed, relieved I still had my own pants on, although I had no idea where the shirt I was wearing came from. But I couldn't give a shit, my only concern was getting the hell out of here before whoever the fuck that was came back.

Just as I reached for the door handle it turned, and I backed myself across the room and against the wall as the door swung open for a second time, but this time it wasn't the stranger that walked through.

It was my hero. My savior. Dominic.

Sliding down the wall, I sat on thr ground wrapping my arms around my knees as sobs wracked my body.

Shit Lexi I'm fucking sorry, I wanted to be here when you woke up I just had... uhh... shit to deal with first. But I'm here now. I'll always be here for you. And I swear I'll never let anything happen to you again.

The raw emotion in his voice had me believing him without doubt.

Hold me Dom... was all I managed to get out, and I was in his arms and we were out the door before I could register what was happening. You know where she is if you need anything Doc, he told the strange man standing outside the door, then continued on up a set of stairs.

Where are we? I asked.

The clubhouse. Your safe here he replied and once again I believed him

As we entered what must be his room and he placed me down gently on the bed, I couldn't help but think of my own room and the events that had taken place there.

My room... I started in a hushed tone but was instantly cut off.

Don't even worry about it, it's all being dealt with sweetheart. Be good as new by morning.

And is he...

Dead. Yeh he is Alexis. I killed him. In that moment it was him or you, and I made my choice. Would do it again a thousand times if I had to. So long as your safe.

The sentiment was not lost on me, but I couldn't help bursting into tears.

Dom looked confused as fuck.

Alexis... what's wrong. Talk to me? Then his tone changed, laced with anger.

Don't tell me you still had feelings for the fucking asshole!!

No! I cried. But you killed him Dom! Your going to go to jail all because of me.

He looked at me for a second then burst into laughter, and it was my turn to be confused.

Alexis, baby. I'm the future President of a motorcycle gang. I've killed men before, and you can bet your pretty little ass I'll have to do it again at some point. But jail? Thats not on the cards for me. We do what we do well, they'd have to catch me first. His cocky grin did little to calm my nerves, but he seemed so sure of himself who was I to doubt him. So I just nodded.

Tucking me into his bed, then stripping down to his briefs to join me, exhaustion overcame me and I'd soon drifted off into a pieceful sleep. I always slept well with him, I'd noticed.

Waking up the next morning, I rolled over to see Dom sitting on the edge of the bed looking like he hadnt slept a wink.

Morning, I whispered, breaking him from his trance. Concern was etched on his face as he looked at me, and I subconsciously touched my injuries.

You think I'm ugly now don't you... I asked, voice breaking.

What the fuck Alexis?

Grabbing my hand in his, he continued.

You could never be ugly to me Lex. Don't even fucking say things like that. I just... we need to talk... and I don't really know how to fucking start... he trailed off, letting go of my hand and rubbing the back of his neck.

Here we go, I thought, mentally preparing for the break up speech no doubt headed my way. I couldn't blame the guy, who would want to put up with my bullshit.

I'll save you the hassle, Dominic, I said coldly. Let me just grab my shit and I'll go.

A knock on the door broke the tension in the room. After a moments hesitation, Dom walked to the door and threw it open.

Tank, what the fuck do you want? He snapped at the big guy standing in the doorway.

Geez morning to you to boss, he said sarcastically then laughed. Just wanted you both to know everything's been dealt with at the apartment, good as new.

Here's your phone, he said, holding his arm out to me.

Screens cracked, but still working. I texted Charlie as you asked, but you might wanna give her a call and clear the air, don't think she was too happy to be kicked outta her own place for the night.

As Logan's words swirled in my head, the pain of betrayal of my best friend was still a fresh wound.

Fuck her I said nonchalantly.

Then it sunk in. I couldn't go back to the apartment, didn't want to face the one person who I thought would always have my back.

And Dom had just been interrupted trying to break things off with me. I literally have nowhere to go.

Back to square one.
