Chapter 15

(Isabella's POV)

Sobs racked over my body as he slammed the door behind him, the roar of his bike could be heard from my window as he raced down the street probably to his next booty call. I can't believe I fell for that, fell for him. My body is something very sacred to me and having sharing that with him, just so he could leave me seconds later naked in bed, my body racked with sobs once again at the thoughts.

I moved over to the bathroom with any dignity I had left of me, the hot water slid down my body as I tried to erase the memories of today. But whatever I did and whatever I tried to make myself belief I couldn't deny the fact, that Zach made me feel good not only physically, but he has also helped me gain parts of myself I thought I could never recover and now he brought me unimaginable pain.

(Zach's POV)

I slammed on the breaks as I came upon the club house I could already see several men laying on the floor, with pools of blood around them. I slid off my bike to grab the semi automatic that I hid.

I made my way towards the entrance stepping over the dead bodies, I hid behind the door frame seeing movement to my right. Jeremiah laid on the floor his hands gripping his stomach trying to stop the blood that's oozing from his wound.

"What happened? Where are they?" I muttered replacing his hands with mine "They're gone, I think. They ambushed us, we didn't realise something was wrong until it was too late" he whispered his eyes starting to droop shut from all the blood he lost.

"Hey, hey. Jeremiah you cannot fall asleep now man" I yelled tapping his face with my hand "I need you to put your hands on your stomach okay. I'm going to carry you to the medic" he nodded his face turning into a grimace as I tried to gently tuck my hands underneath his back and legs.

"Zach what's going on? What happened?" Ezra yelled running towards us, he was covered in the blood that I was sure was not his own. "He got a shot gun in his stomach, no exit wound from what I can tell, we need to get him to the medic" I spoke moving around him to head to the stairs "Zach you can't" Ezra called out I looked back at him seeing a look of sorrow on his face "Why the hell not?" I yelled out making Jeremiah groan out in pain.

"He's dead Zach. We need to get him to the hospital"

My heart dropped to my stomach, without hesitation I turned away from the stairs moving towards the garage, I put him into the back seat of one of the trucks, apologising as I did so.

The drive to the hospital was all a blur, I hit the brakes at the emergency room entrance, yelling out to the security at the door to get a doctor, Ezra ran to the entrance with a pale Jeremiah in his arms.

A gurney stopped right in front of them as nurses yelled for us to wait in the waiting room as they rolled him away from us, I looked at Ezra stunned at what the couple of minutes unfolded. Multiple sets of brakes could be heard from where we stood, my hand immediately went to the gun I strapped to my waist, Knox ran inside looking distraught, forgetting about my gun I hurried towards him along side Ezra.

"There are multiple men injured" he yelled out, again nurses ran pushing gurneys towards the cars, I moved forward helping them transfer them onto the gurneys before they again like they did with Jeremiah rolled them towards the double sliding doors.

We silently moved to the waiting area, I laid my head against the cold tiles trying to quiet down the thoughts that where going through my mind right now, I can't lose him too.

Ryan's death had taken a toll on all of us, losing Jeremiah too will break us. "Where were you? I texted you" Ezra spoke snapping me out of my thoughts "I was with Isabella, I didn't look at my phone. I'm sorry" I whispered hanging my head, the look on his face hardened but he didn't say anything else.

"Where is he? Where's Jeremiah?" a yell sounded from down the hall, I got up from the chairs making my way to a panicked Anderson, "He's in surgery, he had a gunshot wound in his stomach" I spoke slapping his back in an attempt to comfort him.

He moved towards the others a distant look in his eyes "This can't be happening again" he cried out gripping his head in his hands, he turned to Knox "How could you not have know they're attacking us?!" he yelled "You're supposed to have upped security, you bastard" he continued a look of rage taking over his eyes.

Knox clenched his fists, yet he tried to remain calm knowing that Anderson was not in the right mindset to make rational decisions "We'll figure out what made the security breach and we will avenge our fallen men Anderson. We won't go down quietly" he spoke trying to show Anderson reason to which he was not having any of, but nonetheless he sat quietly.

Hours gone by that we stood waiting for Jeremiah to come out, most of the men that we brought in has come out of surgery thankfully with physical therapy they can have a full recovery, but no word on Jeremiah as of yet.

"Any updates?" Anderson spoke as a nurse emerged from the doors "A doctor will be with you shortly" she said for the third time in the last hour, Andreson yelled out pulling his gun from his waistband and pointing it to the terrified nurse, we jumped up moving towards Anderson hoping to calm him down.

"She has nothing to do with what happened Anderson, just lower your gun. They're doing everything they can" I spoke moving in between his gun and the nurse.

Under Knox's glare he lowered down the gun tucking it into his waist band, Ezra moved over apologising to the nurse whilst slipping her some hush money, with a promise of silence she scurried away.

"I need to go make a couple of calls to try to figure out what happened. Call me with any updates" Ezra called out not waiting for an answer as he made his way down the hall and out of sight.

Nerves settled in my stomach, something was not right.
