Heartbeats (Book 1)

CHAPTER 39

~WESTON~

Hero and I go to the clubhouse for a while before were going to Bex. She thinks she's getting Blake back but she's out to lose her life instead. I was positively surprised by Pollux's reaction to Blake, and I'm glad that Tyra was so open and let him in. Maybe they can have the family they want to have. We made a quick stop at the Red Room and grabbed the books. I have to dig into something because these thoughts of a kid are driving me insane. I don't know what to do about them? Do I tell Hero?

"Hey, Wessy." Seth pulls me out of my thoughts. "Hey, brother. How do you feel?"

"I'm fine."

"Good. Don't ever get shot again. I can't handle that shit."

"I know. I'm sorry you had to go through that." He tells me with a sad smile. "Well, it's not like you were trying to get shot. It's not your fault. It's my fault." He frowns at me. "No, it's not! Why would you say that?"

"Cause I killed their brother. They wanted revenge. Brother for a brother. I guess."

"Yeah, well they didn't get me, and they won't. Max is dead and the two others are good kids. They've been helping Hero at the warehouse and they've proved themselves to be trustworthy."

"I know, but still. This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for me."

"Please don't think like that. I don't hold any grudges. You know that!"

"Yeah. I know." He pulls me into his embrace and I let him, but soon I start to panic. I'm hyperventilate. "What's wrong?" He asks. "I...d...don't...know" Shit, it feels like I'm about to die. "HERO?!" Seth yells.

~HERO~

I'm in the chapel and looking over the books and waiting for Weston. But she doesn't come, and then I hear Seth scream my name in a pure panic! I ran out to the bar and saw Weston hyperventilating in Seth's arms. He's about to crack. He can't take it.

"What happened?" I ask. "I don't know?!" I pull Weston into my chest and press her as close as I can. She relaxes and soon her breathing is back to normal. "How do you do that?" He asks. "I don't know?"

"It's amazing to watch! She just calms when you walk into the room. You're the right one for her, that's for sure."

"Thanks, man and she's the one for me."

"I know and that warms my heart."

"Stop, I'm blushing," Weston said. Seth and I chuckle. I kiss the top of her head. "Aww, you two. So sweet that you make my teeth hurt." Weston blushes and hides her face in my chest. My badass girl. A force of nature, but when her brother comments on her love life, she blushes like a shy little school girl. I love every side of her.

~WESTON~

Seth keeps making me blush and I hide my face against Hero's chest. I hear his deep chuckle and it makes me warm from the inside and out. God, damn! I'm so in love with this fella. "Are you ready to visit Bex?" He asks. "Hell yeah. Let me just head upstairs and change my clothes. I wanna look my best when I play with her."

Hero smirks and nods. I kiss his lips and run upstairs to find the right outfit for this game. My blood pump along with the adrenaline and I know maybe that makes me a psychopath but I love the rush that shoots through my body. I put on a bomber jacket and head downstairs again and Hero spits out his beer when he sees me. "Dude, what the fuck?" Seth yells. "Sorry. My bad." Hero smirks at Seth.
