Race for Your Heart

Chapter 11 (the kiss)

A.J. POV

It's been three days since Reece and Slade got out of jail. The doctor changed his mind and decided that I should get out of the hospital today, after he takes the stitches out. As I expected, Slade and Reece haven't came to the hospital. I'm currently waiting for the doctor to come with the paper work so I can leave. The stitches are out and my sling is off, I just wanna go home. I wanna go to the shop. I wanna see my bike or at least what's left of it.
"Hi, Avery. Here's your paper work. I need you to sign her and here and then you're free to go." The doctor said walking in.
I sign the papers and grab my bag. I head down to the lobby to wait for Dad. When I get down stairs I don't see Dad, but I do see Reece and Slade. They're leaned up against Slade's car. I guess Dad sent them to pick me up. They don't see me so I decided to take in how they look. Reece has a busted lip and a black eye. Slade has it worse, he has a black eye, busted lip, a bruise on his jaw and a cut above his left eye. What the h*ll were they thinking? 
I walk over to them and they finally notice that I was there.
"Hey, A.J. Dave had to handle some stuff at the shop, so he told us to take you home." Reece said hugging me. I look over at Slade to see him avoiding my eyes.
"Thanks, guys." I go to sit in the back but Reece stops me.
"I'll take the back. You sit in the front." I nod and turn to get in the passenger side. Out of the corner of my eye I see Slade give Reece a 'really' look. What did I do? They get in the car and we drive to my house. Now one talked. When we got to my house, we went in and I remember something.
"D*mn it." I said tossing my bag on the couch.
"What is it?" Reece asked.
"I forgot to go to the drug store and get my pain meds." I sit on the couch.
"I'll go get them." Reece and Slade say at the same time.
"Slade, can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Reece says before dragging Slade into the kitchen.
I hear them arguing. I don't know what about, though. They come back in about five minutes later.
"I'm going to get your meds and Slade is gonna stay with you. Good? Great, have fun." Reece says before running out the front door. Literally, ran.
Slade sits in the armchair across from me. We sit in silence for a few minutes, but then I can't take it anymore.
"Why did you do it?" He jumps at the sound of my voice.
"I-um, what do ya- um"
"Why did you do it?  Why did you attack him?"
"Because," He stands up and starts walking around the living room "he hurt you. He could have killed you."
"He could have killed you!" I yell standing up as well, "and why do you care if I don't killed?" He doesn't say anything, "Now, ya don't wanna talk. Why did you care?  You hated me less than month ago. H*ll, you thought I was a guy month ago. So tell me, why?  Why in the h*ll would you-" I was cut off by his lips on mine. I was taking by surprise, but after a second I kissed back. After a few seconds, we pulled away.
"That's why." He whispered putting his hands on my waist. "I love you, Avery Jensen." I smiled.
"I love you, Slade Williams." He smiled before he pulled me into another kiss.
