Biker Love

Nine

March flew by and so did half of April and Jacob was still not budging on the whole girlfriend thing. I've tried to keep away from him because my feelings we're only growing for him and I'm not sure if hes ever going to want to give us a title and I didn't want to be the one hurt.
It was a weekend like usual. Dakota and I were asleep, the whole house was asleep actually.
We all woke to the loudest noise of my life. A gun shot.
I scream in pure agony. The shooter bails out my window and Dakota was screaming beside me.
My shoulder was on fire, it hurt, it burnt.
Mom and dad run in and everything was happening so fast. I was lifted from my bed and I assumed it was dad carrying me.
Mom was crying. I was crying.
'Indi' Jacobs voice hits my ears but I couldn't respond.
'Meet us at the hospital' dad shouts. I was in the car now and dad was driving fast.
I was loosing blood and consciousness 'Stay awake baby' mom cries holding my hand.
It wasn't long before the car was stopping and seconds later, dad was carrying me again. 'Help, my daughters been shot' dad yells.
In seconds, I was swamped with nurses and doctors. I was put on a bed and then I was out.
I could hear them trying to wake me but my eyes wouldn't open.
Then nothing. I felt nothing, heard nothing and I wasn't even thinking about anything.

~~~~~

Finally, I heard it. I could hear a beeping, I could feel the pain in my shoulder and all I could think about was the pain.
I tried to think of how it happened but it was so quick I didn't see anything but a man jumping from my window.
'Ty, she's waking' mom says.
'Nurse' dad calls. My eyes flicker open and mom's looking up at me, smiling through her tears.
The nurse comes in and after she does some tests, asks questions and checks out the wound, the police take over and interview me.
I tell them what I knew which wasn't much and after half hour I was allowed to go home.
For once my sister was helping me and being super nice. Jacob had helped me from my room at the hospital and into the car and when we got back to my house, he was right over.
He wouldn't leave my side and though I wasn't in the mood to converse or even be sociable, he knew it. We were content with just sitting on the couch and watching movies together.
Codi didn't like that Jacob was here but I knew he wasn't saying anything about it because of me. Mom and dad didnt mind either.
'I need to go to work but make sure Indi has her pain meds' mom says.
'Unfortunately, I'll be out tonight too so I'm trusting nothing to happen here'
'Dad' I snap 'I have a bullet hole in my shoulder, I think sex is going to be far from my mind'
'Just saying, come on Codi'
'You can't seriously all be going out' Neikyler snaps. 'I have things to do tonight, I can't baby sit'
'I don't need a babysitter, I will be fine, I will take the pills when I need them, just piss off and leave me alone' I might have been a little irritated with everyone coddling me all day but I didn't care. I am a big girl and I don't need a babysitter.
'Fine, Jacob you can make sure she takes her meds even if she says it doesn't hurt and make sure she sleeps comfortably' I snap my head around to look at mom who everyone else was looking at too.
'Neik' dad frowns.
'Come on babe, how many times did we spend the night together when we were their age? That didnt involve sex? I trust our daughter and I am trusting Jacob to take care of her because she is hurt'
'But it's my daughter' dad pouts. He was still a child at heart.
'Our daughter is old enough to do as she pleases and she's hurt, no one else is able to look after her and I'm sure Jacob knows if he disrespects our rules or takes advantage of our trust right now then he will have no testicles' mom says casually.
I groan and sink myself further into the couch.
'Just leave already' I groan.
Everyone laughs and soon enough it's just Jacob and I.
'I'm sorry' Jacob tells me.
'What for?' I frown looking up at him.
'Because I think it was Kade who shot you and I swear if it was him then I'll be spending some time behind bars'
'Its crossed my mind too, he's the only one I've pissed off lately'
'Ill dig around and see what I can find out but I'm not leaving your side, I don't care what your folks say'
I just nod. 'Poor Dakota, I should call her' I sit up with help from Jacob and fish my phone from my pocket.
I call Dakota and she answers almost immediately 'Hey, are you ok?'
'Yeah I'm fine, are you ok?'
'I think so' I hear her dad going off in the back ground. 'Can I come over?' She asks.
'Of course you can, I'll send someone to get you' I tell her.
I look to Jacob and say 'Can Dylan go get her?'
He pulls his own phone out and a few seconds later he puts it to his ear.
'Does it hurt?' Dakota asks.
'Yes' I scoff 'like a bitch'
'He can get her, is he alright to come here?' Jacob. I nod and then he reels off Dakotas address.
'Dylan is picking you up' I say to my best friend.
'OK, I'll see you in a minute'
I hang up and text mom and tell her what's going on before turning to Jacob
'I gave him the address right' he smiles. 'But he already knew it'
'That little bitch never told me that' I raise an eye brow.
A knock sounds at the door and with a frown, I go to answer. I see it's a woman holding a child 'It's ok' I tell Jacob and he sits back down.
I open the door. 'Sorry to disturb you but you don't know the guy over the road do you?'
'Jacob? I know him, why?'
'You don't happen to know where he is do you? He was meant to pick up his son today but hasn't shown and I havent heard anything'
I feel the air knock out of me. Son? He had a kid? 'I didn't know he had a kid but hes here if you want to talk to him' I open the door for her to come in.
'Thank you' she smiles and comes in.
'Carissa?' Jacob frowns 'Shit, I forgot, I know I was meant to message you but I must have forgotten'
'Must have' she scoffs
'Probably my fault' I say 'I was shot so he was fussing over me, sorry' I say.
'Not your fault, you seem like a nice girl and I'm sure if you knew about Blake then you would have reminded him' she seemed like an alright girl. She wasn't being a bitch to me at all, just to Jacob.
Jacob takes Blake who looked no older than 12 Months old.
'Carissa, I really can't have him this weekend' Jacob says.
'Yes he can' I say. 'Dakota will be here soon and I won't be alone so you can take him home'
'Where did you find her? She's a keeper Jake' Carissa kisses her son and then leaves.
I raise an eye brow at him 'Why didn't you tell me?' I ask.
'It just didn't come up' he shrugs.
'So you dont trust me? Is that why you don't want to commit? Didn't want me to find out you had a son?'
'Of course I trust you Indi, I was scared of how you'd react about it'
'What makes you think I would care? So what, you have a kid, I knew you slept with girls before, I dont care that you have a son'
'Doesn't sound like it' he scoffs.
'I don't give a crap about you having a kid, I'm pissed off that I don't matter to you enough to tell me about him. Do you realise how shattering that is?' I ask him.
'You do matter to me Indi, more than any other female on this planet and that's why I didn't tell you. I was terrified you'd see me differently' he tells me.
'Why the hell would I see you differently? You're still Jacob, the guy I know, now I know you have a son, I don't see you differently'
'I was scared alright, what more do you want?'
'You Jacob' I snap 'I just want you and all your baggage and your son, I don't care about your past, I just want to be part of your future' I tell him.
He stares at me a minute while his son sleeps on his shoulder.
'Ok' he nods after what feels like ever. 'Be my girlfriend, I'll be your boyfriend'
