Chapter 4

1684 Words
Turns out Jace was just a d**k in disguise. After seeing him this morning I decided to go and blow off some steam after I had finished this outing with my father. We arrived back at the club where most members looked at me like I was a zombie or a living corpse which was fair to say. Most of them came to greet me while others just hated my guts, but in the end, they came to say hello. I have been thinking about this moment for months and being here is different than I had hoped for. I greeted everyone and took a beer from the fridge before I headed straight toward the meeting room. I decided to sit there since it was a place with no people and that means no one to talk to. I sat there looking at the photos on the wall before my mind started to wander off to Jace. He looked great, yet he even still had that same bloody smirk on his face. That was something that I looked forward to seeing, yet I did not think that there was going to be another part where he was engaged. I took a sip from my beer before I heard someone clearing their throat. I looked up and saw my father standing by the door with a bottle of whiskey and two glasses. He had a smile on his face which made me feel a bit at ease since our last words were not good ones. I gave him a fainted smile before he took a seat next to me pouring our whiskeys. "So you picked the quietest place in the club honey, so what is bothering you?" he said pushing the glass towards me. "Nothing, just thinking that is all!" "It must be hard for you to be back here.." "It is not that, it's just.." I interrupted him, yet even I fell silent not knowing how to continue with my sentence before I felt my father's hand lifting my chin so that he can look into my eyes. "Things changed while you were gone and I know you were waiting on him in that hospital room!" "I.." "You did, your face would lite up every time you would hear you have a visitor honey. It is okay to be hurt and have pain! It reminds people like us that we are still human!" "You should hate me after what I did to you, to this club, yet all of you are hugging me like I never left!" I said feeling anger rising in the form of tears. I betrayed this club, I stole from Jace hell I even got John caught up in old mixed feelings. Some days I wish Alexa had never found me then again I can't thank her enough for giving me a second chance. "Honey, you are my baby girl the one that I pushed on the swings on Sundays. The one who learned you to ride your first bike. You will stay my daughter and if I need to lose all of this to have you I will do it! I know what you did for this club Nat.. Look things are not going to be the same as it was, but you can change that!" "You mean live with it right?" "Honey, you ran from a monster and fell in love with one! You need to take time to get the old you back!" "Yeah, well guess we all make mistakes!" "Today you looked fierce and you looked happy when you confronted Mark? Is it possible that you miss it?" My father said making me think about his words. Maybe he is right, maybe I do miss it and I am just too scared to see it. "I can't go back down that road.." "No, but you can take over the club!" he said with a smile leaving me to look up into his eyes. "Wait what? You said that only a man can take over the club and that is how it has been for generations!" "I think it is time that we change that plus there is no one else that I trust this club with more than you!" he said before he pulled me in for a huge bear hug. For a moment everything felt better and normal again. "What about the part where I am an assassin?" I asked still tightly wrapped in my father's arms. "I think you can manage both, plus since it came out some of the chapters have been transferred to us!" he said and I pulled away with my mouth hanging open. "I can't accept this father?" "Yes, you can honey look I made a mistake pushing you towards Logan and you became this person so that you can survive. I failed you as a parent, but I am not going to sugarcoat that s**t and lie to your face. Look this is your story now, you write it as you want to just know that all of us will be standing behind you every step of the way!" "I love you, dad!" "I love you two honey, now if you would excuse me I have to pick up your mother!" he said as he checked his watch. "Thanks for the talk!" "I am not going to fail you again Natalia!" "I know!" I said before he kissed me on the forehead and left. I knew he meant every word that he said. It has been years since I had seen this side of him again. I always thought he hated me, cause I wasn't a boy at birth, yet it turns out I was better than that. I am glad that at one point we could see eye to eye and he could understand where I was coming from, yet in the end, I am just glad I have my father back again. "So the famous Natalia is hiding from the party!" I heard Mickey's voice from the door. I looked up seeing how he had his casual clothes on with a beer in his hand. "Yeah, well I wasn't in the mood to answer all of their stupid questions!" I said as I gulped down my whiskey. "You're not like that anymore Nat.." "Yeah, sure as hell feels like it!" "You need to have a good time.." "Why did you help me?" I interrupted him and to find him surprised by this question. He looked long and hard at me before he took a sip of his drink. "We're family and you trusted me and I will do it again Nat!" "Did you know?" I asked standing up and walking towards him seeing how his facial expression hardened. "Nat.." "Simple question Mickey yes or no?" I said stopping in front of him and without giving him a chance to answer I took his beer from his hand standing: "Being quiet is also an answer!" "Your parents were going to have a divorce soon so, yes I knew, but I did this for you and them! If you knew you would have never come back!" "Exactly my point Mickey so now I got a club to run in the same town as my ex the man that I hate, yet love at the same f*****g time! So tell me Mickey which one sounds better at this point being dead or dying a little day by day?" I said before I left the room leaving him thinking of an answer to my question. I walked to the bar section where most of the club members were having a blast. I took another beer and started to dance to the music. Getting drunk and dancing would do me some good right now! Jace's p.o.v I was about to board the plane when my butler came running up to me. I glared at him giving him a warning that whatever is about to come from his mouth must be good. "Sir, we found the doctor and he is in Italy as we speak having a holiday with his family!" "Great, I want to meet him first before we head towards the Italians!" "Of course sir, I will inform the driver!" he said before he took a step back while making a phone call. I decided to board the plane for o long. I received a text message from Nicole as I took a seat saying that she would like to know if I would be home for dinner. "Had an emergency will be home in two days!" I replied before I turned off my phone throwing it on the table. What the f**k am I going to do? I want answers, yet at the same time, I didn't want them! I have a fiance that helped me when I was broken and I fell for her, yet now the person who knows how to press my buttons is back. I did not have to hide who I was with her, but Nicole tried to keep me as humanely as possible without knowing what I was doing. I closed my eyes laying back into the chair and slowly drifted off to sleep. "I love you Haunt take care of yourself!" she whispered into my ears with a soft tone. I tried to keep open my eyes to speak to her, yet I had lost so much blood that it was impossible to stay awake. I saw black in front of me before I got woken up again, yet this time I was outside and near my car. All I could hear was Mickey cussing and that is when I got my second breath back. I turned around pushing them aside to go to Natalia, but it was too late as the skies were filled with a dark cloud and a beautiful sunset was ruined by pieces of metal flying through the air. I woke up in a cold sweat with a heartbeat racing through the roof as all the memories came back. My nightmare wasn't over just, no it has just started.
