Joaquin

Chapter 10

Avas POV

When Joaquin pulled into the bar I didn't even wait for him to put it in park before I got out.  I went up the bars stairs and opened up the door.  I saw a group of Serpants gathering around something but as soon as they heard me walk in they parted and I saw Abel tied up to a chair.  Had a little bit of blood running from his lip and a small gash by his eyebrow and he looked scared.  I saw Fp looking at me like I was a hurt puppy I hated that feeling.  Being useless.  I ignored it and walked up to Abel.  He was at the breaking point of crying and he kept on apologizing to me but as far as I was concerned it was just white noice.  I went over to him and punched him square in the nose and that caused his chair to fall back.  I quickly went over to him and got on my knees. He spit some blood out on the floor and looked at me with a pleading look.  I reared back and punched him again. and again and again.  I wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon but somebody grabbed my arm as I was about to punch him again and they pulled me onto my feet.  

I shook my arm out of their grips and turned around and saw that it was FP.  I looked back down at Abel and and his whole face was covered in blood.  No doubt his nose was broken and maybe like a cheek bone or something but there is really no telling by just looking at him.  I decided one last good hit would be enough for me.  I reared back my foot and kicked him as hard as I could in the ribs.  That caused him to groan.  I wish I was able to say that hitting him took all my anger away, that I was all better now, but I wasn't I still had that same emptyness.  I guess I will have to find another way.

I nodded my head letting them know that I was done. Two of the serpants lifted Abels chair back on all fours.  "Now what?" Fp asked.  "Take him to Sheriff Keller." I say simply " They are going to need proof that he actually did it." Fp said "He drugged me. They can test my blood.  That should be enough evidence." Fp nodded his head and walked up to Abel and uppercutted him.  "Alright, now i'm done. Take him by the station but ask for Sheriff Keller only." He said to a couple of the serpants. They nodded their head and untied the ropes around Abels hands and feet and dragged him to the car.  When they took him out Jack came up to me and handed me my phone. I smile a him and take it "Thank you." I say lookin at him.  "No problem and if you need anything just call." he said. I nodded my head and walked toward Joaquin and saw that him and Fp were talking quietly.  That can't be good.  

Joaquins POV

When Abel left I went up to Fp "What's going to happen to her?" I ask he sighs " She's not going to be able to go home tonight." he checks his watch and sees thats its almost 5 in the morning. "She can stay at my house for the rest of the night i'm sure in the morning they will have her do the drug test." I nodded my head "Listen, do you think Ava will hurt herself?" I ask quietly and he immediately shook his head no "Absolutely not.  She's too selfless to do that." I nodded my head relieved.  "Good" I say suddenly I remember the razors. "Hey listen you may need to go buy some new razors." he was about to ask me why but there was a voice that came behind me. "so thats why you hurried up and went to the bathroom." I turned around and saw Ava. Crap.  I opened my mouth to try to explain but she was already talking.

"Listen Joaquin, I am a lot of things but suicidal is not one of them. Understand?" I quickly nodded my head yes "Good" she said and turned around and went to the bar. "Smooth Joaquin." Fp said as he patted my back and walked towards the bar.

 Avas POV

I can understand why Joaquin would think that I am suicidal.  I mean after what just happened to me its no surprise.  And he hasn't known me for that long to know how against it I am.  "Hey you're  just going to sleep over at my place to me." Fp says walking up to me. but I quickly shake my head. "No that's alright my house should be unlocked now so I will just go there and when I figure out when the testing is i'll drive myself up to the station." I say but he's not budging.  "There is no way in hell that i'm going to let you go home tonight. Text your dad and say that you're going to hangout with Jughead.  I'll text him to let him know what the plan is but I won't tell him the reasoning." Fp says in a stern tone.  I slowly nod my head in agreement.  It suddenly dawned on me that I don't have my car.  "I need to go get my car from the party." I told him and he nods his head. "Yeah Joaquin needs too also so ill just drive you two up there together.  I'll go tell Joaquin that we are leaving."  I nodded my head and slowly made my way to Fps car and got into the drivers side. 

The drive was relatively  quite a few coughs here and there and a couple sniffles.  When we got back to Joaquin motorcyle and my car a quickly got out and unlocked my car " Ava, wait up" Joaquin said behind me.  I turned around and saw Joaquin doing like a half jog half walk thing towards me "Listen, i'm sorry about the razors it's just that I panicked but I should have never of assumed that of you." I said once he caught up to me " There's no need for an apology.  You had no idea how I was going to react.  Thank you for looking out for me." I said with a genuine smile.  He nodded his head and told me goodnight even though the sun was starting to come up.  I laughed and told him goodmoring instead and he just chuckled and started walking to his motorcycle.  I got into my car and started it up an pulled out my phone and went to my dads contact.  I heard Joaquin start his motorcycle and started to drive off.  I waved at him before he passed me and he did the same.  I looked back at my phone and started typing "Hey me and jughead are going to hangout today dont know how long its going to be but ill let you know when I head home." I sent the text out and started driving back to Fps house.
