Things I Do for LOVE.. [on hold]

Chapter 31. B

Chapter 31.B

*Jayden’s POV*

I thought I was winning until my fist missed Jock’s face. He blew a hard one on my stomach as I stumbled on the ground. I coughed for air and spitted blood. Pain ran throughout my torso as I gasped for air. It was getting harder and harder for me to breathe.

“No! stop this!” I heard my girl screamed while Boss chuckled. “What’s wrong with you dad?! Stop this! You’re killing him!”

“Exactly my point, baby doll.” I heard him say as I gritted my teeth in anger. I should’ve known. That bastard won’t let me live.

“No! Stop it!” my girl yelled again in desperation as they started kicking me on my back, on my side, on my stomach, on my chest. Everywhere. They were all pussies to take advantage of me like this.  “He’s not in the condition to fight anymore!” I heard my girl. She was in complete pain and hearing her crying voice hurt the most than their kicks and punches. Hearing her pained voice was even harder to bear than the way she broke up with me.

I should’ve just let her go mad at me. In that way, she wouldn’t even care right now. She won’t suffer seeing me being this weak and she wouldn’t even shed another tear. God, her crying and all that was killing me. It killed me and it was worse than being beaten to death.

I couldn’t hold on my scream anymore as Jock kicked me heavily on my torso. I heard a crack inside me and every breath seemed to be so painful. Every breath costs a sharp pain inside me. I faced the pavement coughing and spitting more blood. Shit. I think I broke some bones inside.

“I hate you! You are not my father! I don’t know you anymore! I hate you! You asshole!” Her voice rang in my head as it helped me to motivate myself that I should get on with this and fight. I should keep myself awake. I don’t want anything to happen to my girl. She suffered enough from the revelations only. I didn’t need her to be physically hurt too. I would never, ever forgive myself if something ever happened to her.

“Let…her go…” I breathed holding my stomach for dear life. Every little move I made simply sent me pain. It was as if every muscle in my body were protesting for me to get some rest.

“Please…” Luthien murmured in desperation as she watched me intensely. I failed standing up so I remained where I was. I was catching my breath and trying to spit blood from my mouth. I knew this was my punishment because I didn’t respect the girl that I loved. I only told her those painful words for her to stay away from me. Like I thought of before, I was not good for her anymore.  “Dad…please stop this…” she cried making the pain in me to go ten times stronger.

I held my head low, keeping myself awake. My sight started to blur as I felt my head spinning and pounding at the same time. I had to keep myself conscious or else we wouldn’t get out of here alive. I tried catching my breath a little bit more. I wanted to say sorry to my girl for hurting her earlier. It was still a dick move because that was the only way I could keep her safe. But unfortunately, it didn’t work because of my urge to taste her lips and give me the strength I needed.

Two gunshots fired and I snapped my head up. There weren’t any new pain in me so I searched for someone who got hit. All the men stood firmly before me as I saw Boss dropped his gun. He looked guilty as hell as he broke down putting his hands on his face. Matt then came out of the office panting and searching for something or someone.

 Where was she? I asked myself. My head started to drop from the weariness and pounding. I heard someone groaned in pain as my eyes went wide as soon as I saw her lying on the pavement in front of me. “Shit!” I crawled to her, grabbed her and placed her in my arms with all my strength. I hugged her tight feeling my own tears springing from my eyes.  “Luthien, sweetie…” I called her.
