Can love save a life? (Mc romance)

18 - Code Red

Xavier couldn't help but smile as Brooke slept peacefully on his chest. He didn't plan on waking her up as it was the first night she didn't have a nightmare and pretty much got a full nights sleep without using the sleeping tablets.

So he just laid there letting the sounds of her breathing soothe his soul.

That was until his phone started ringing. Rolling his eyes as he reached for it, couldn't people leave them alone for twenty four hours.

"Seriously this better be important" Xavier said to whoever was calling.

"Well good morning to you to son" He dad laughed

"What do you want, old man?" Xavier half laughed. Know his dad wasn't calling for a chat.

"Just calling to check in seen as you didn't come home last night, I guess things went well" Alex said, the smile was evident in his voice

"Better than I could have imagined" Xavier smiled looking down at his girl in his arms.

"Okay so you know I didn't just call for a chat" Alex sighed "everything is under control but all hell broke out last night after one of the prospects was spotted outside of Tom's compound. James has everything under control but you needed to know"

"Thanks pops" Xavier sighed, as Brooke started to stir in his arms. "I've got to go but we will be home soon"

As he ended the call he tossed his phone on the end table, running his hand over his face. Nothing ever went smooth.

Brooke sleepily rubbed her eyes before looking up at Xavier smiling.

"Morning sleepy" he whispered brushing her hair off her face. "How are you feeling this morning?"

"I'm a little sore but other than that amazing" she smiled running her hand along Xavier's chest. "Last night was perfect"

"As long as I wasn't too rough" he chuckled.

"Maybe I like it rough" Brooke giggled.

"Bumble don't we need to head back soon" Xavier nodded "even though I'd love to stay in our little bubble here"

"I mean I am kinda of hungry" she giggled rolling over to head to the bathroom, out of habit she wrapped the duvet around her naked body.

"Baby you don't need to cover yourself around me" Xavier whispered running his hand down her spin.

"I know but I still have scars that aren't covered yet" She mumbled.

"Hey" Xavier said softly as he wrapped his arms around her. "They don't bother me baby, I know you hate them but it's a reminder of just how strong you are. Don't be ashamed of them"

Once Brooke had finished in the bathroom the two of them laid in bed, in a comfortable silence.

Until the sound of gunshots echoed around the building followed by the sound of the metal doors falling onto the ground.

"Babe get dress" Xavier breathed rolling out of bed, pulling his clothes on in record time before kissing the top of her head "grab your gun and please just stay here. I will be back in a minute"

Xavier made sure his gun was fully loaded before he dialled his father.

"CODE FUCKING RED" he yelled, before his father said another word the sound of alarms filled the background signalling the emergency button had been activated.

"How many son?"  Alex asked

"Not a clue all I know is we are under attack and need back up" Xavier breathed trying to stay calm as he took the safety off his gun due to hearing voices in the next room. "Just get here ASAP dad" before the line went dead.

"How do we know the slut is here?" A voice asked.

"I was watching them last night, no one left and Dickhead's bike is still outside" another voice laughed.

"Tom will be so happy to have his toy back and not going to lie. I'm looking forward to having my way with her" the first voice laughed.

Xavier felt sick at the thought, but he pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind. He needed to figure out how many there were and keep his girl safe. That was until an ear piercing scream could be heard around the range.

"XAVIER" Brooke screamed

"Fuck" Xavier mumbled as he sprinted back the bedroom to find one of Tom's guys had his arm wrapped around Brooke's neck and a gun pointed at her head.

The tears were rolling down her face as she shook in the guy's arms. Taking one step forward Xavier fired his gun, shooting the guy right between his eyes, causing the body to fall to the floor with a thud. As soon as Brooke realised she was free she ran into Xavier's arms grabbing her gun in the process.

"Remember what I told you" Xavier nodded "point, shoot, think later"

Squeezing his eyes closed he composed himself. Where the hell was his dad and the club?

Looking around the room, it was now filled with around twenty men, all of which were armed.

"Come on Brooke, come home we miss you" one guy smirked

"Rot in hell you piece of shit" Brooke spat aiming the gun at him as he took a step forward. "Take one more fucking step and I will shoot"

"You don't have it in you" he laughed taking a couple more steps "you were always a weak piece of shit"

The only sound that filled the room was the sound of gunshot followed by the screams of the guy, making Xavier smirked.

"Do I look like I'm ducking playing?" Brooke growled "that was a warning shot, one more step and you are dead"

Douchebag didn't listen, Brooke squeezed the trigger two more times, putting two holes in his chest, causing him to drop to the floor, grunting, gasping for air as he clutched his chest.

"Anyone else fucking moves and you end up like asshole over here" Brooke screamed as the adrenaline kicked in. She was in survival mode.

Xavier could see the adrenaline kick in but he knew once this was all over it would affect her.

Two more guys stepped forward as Brooke scanned the room, so Xavier fired putting a bullet in both of their faces. Everything was happening so fast as the club stormed in. The only sound was the gunshots.

Until Xavier heard a scream over the chaos.

Spinning around his eyes landed on Brooke as she clutched her side, dropping her gun to the ground as the colour faded from her face.

Without thinking he ran over to her, catching her before she dropped to the floor. He reached for her gun tucking it into the waistband of his jeans. Before he pressed against the bullet wound trying to keep pressure on it to stop her from bleeding out.

"Come on bumble bee" he sobbed as her eyes flickered "please stay with me"

"Son we need to get you out of here," Alex said, placing his hand on Xavier's shoulder. "Pass me her gun, I've got you covered"

"Come on Brooke, keep them eyes open for me" Xavier sobbed as he carried her through the chaos. "I am not fucking losing you again"
