Can love save a life? (Mc romance)

22 - What's The Plan?

It had been a week and a half since Brooke had woken, she was bored, wanted to go home and sleep in her own bed rather than the uncomfortable hospital beds.

Xavier kept bringing her home cooked food as she refused to eat the food from here.

"Hey bumble" Xavier grinned walking into the room.

"Well you smell better" Brooke giggled as she took the bag of food from him.

"Somebody is in a better mood today" he smiled sitting on the edge of the bed.

"The doctor said I might be able to go home today, they just want to run a few more tests" She smiled as she took a bite out of the burger.

"That's amazing baby" Xavier grinned "I can't wait until you are home because sleeping without you sucks"

Everyone always judged Xavier, labelling him a criminal when in actual fact he was the biggest teddy bear and had the biggest heart ever.

"How are we feeling this morning?" The doctor smiled walking into the room.

"I feel a lot better" Brooke smiled "still have some pain but it's manageable now"

"That's good to hear" he smiled "so I have looked over your stats and test results and you are definitely improving and we are happy to release you. So if you can sign the discharge papers you are free to go"

Once the forms had been signed he smiled at you.

"On your way out you can pick up your pains meds, just follow the instructions on the bottle" he nodded before walking out the room. 

"Come on let's get you home" Xavier grinned.

"I don't have any clothes" Brooke laughed looking down at the hospital gown.

"I may have known you were getting released today so brought some clothes with me" Xavier smirked placing a bag on the bed.

Once Brooke had got changed they headed outside.

"Thought you'd be on your bike?" Brooke asked as Xavier helped her into the car. 

"I was but Doc said you can't ride for at least another two weeks" he said.

"Urgh that sucks" Brooke pouted making him laugh. "Can we head to the tattoo studio, I seem to be missing a certain somebody's name"

"As you wish" he smirked before climbing into the driver's seat.

The drive was short but Brooke still managed to zone out, getting lost in her thoughts.

"Baby we are here" he smiled, cutting the engine. "What's on your mind?"

"Just thinking about how much my life has changed in the last couple of months" Brooke said with a whisper.

"I hope that's a good thing" Xavier smiled, kissing the top of her head.

"It is, Xav you have changed my life in so many ways I can't begin to describe it" she whispered as the walked into the tattoo studio.

As Brooke laid back in the chair she moved her vest too and bra strap out of the way so Kev could work his magic.

She had fallen in love with the design he had drawn up but it took him a little longer than Xavier's due to the details and tattling over scar tissue.

But the finished art was beautiful.

"It's perfectly Brooke whispered as she checked it out in the mirror.

"Well Xav rung me this morning and told me what you wanted and that you wanted it to cover a scar so I thought incorporating the scar into it rather than covering it would work" Kev smiled.

"It does perfectly" Brooke smiled as a few tears rolled down her cheeks.

She couldn't believe how in such a short space of time her life had changed so much. The was one more thing that needed to happen before she could move into the next chapter of her life.

She needed to kill Tom.

As they walked back into the club house, Xavier wrapped his arm around Brooke's waist. It was the best feeling in the world knowing that she was home.

Everyone was so happy that she was home and okay. But with everyone coming up to hug her Xavier could tell the attention was getting too much so he stood behind her wrapping her arms around her waist, resting his head on hers.

Instantly he felt her relax into his touch.

"I hate to cut this short but church in five" Alex shouted over the noise.

"You don't need to come in if you want?" Xavier whispered.

Brooke spun around in his arms placing her hand on his cheek.

"I want to be in there," she whispered, kissing him softly.

"If it gets too much don't be afraid to walk out okay" he whispered kissing her back before she wiggled out of his arms heading into church.

As soon as Xavier had taken his place he pulled Brooke onto his knee, wrapping his arms around her waist once again. As soon as everyone had taken their seat Alex slammed the gavel on the table.

"It's so good to see you back home Bee" Alex smiled "maybe Xavier will stop being a whiny bitch now"

"Cheers old man" Xavier laughed rolling his eyes.

"So we know that Xavier has had bigger things to think about so I took over the search for Tom" James nodded "and after a few choice words from Bee it gave me the kick up the ass I needed. The stupid fucker Met in a cafe and was talking about his next move"

Xavier felt Brooke tense underneath him, placing a kiss on her shoulder then gave her a squeeze.

"It's okay, you are safe I've got you" he whispered before turning to James "so what's his next move"

"Ambushing us again" James sighed pausing before carrying on "I do have a plan but I don't know if you are going to like it"

"James" Xavier growled trying to contain his anger "what's the plan"

"We get Brooke to arrange to meet with Tom, make him think she wants to go back"
