“No!” I slapped at him, and he caught my wrist in a bruising grip.
“Watch it, bitch. I might not be like him, but I won’t take disrespect from my old lady either.”
I tried to free my wrist, but his grip tightened, and he tugged me closer, to hiss cruel words at me.
“A good hard assfuck should knock this sass right out of you, cunt.”
I couldn’t help myself, I spat in his face, slapping at him with my other hand.
“I’d rather die than be with you!”
His face hardened as he glared at me. “Interesting choice,” he said, almost conversationally, as he twisted my wrist, and agony bloomed instantly.

Thepoorfuckerwasbarely conscious, and they weren’t stopping me. Did they really want him dead? I grabbed his throat and hissed at him to tap out, but he just shook his head and passed out. I was just about to get up and say I was bored with this fucker, since they weren’t stopping me, and neither was he, but a high, agonised scream cut through the laughing and jeering, like I was personally attuned to that voice.Sophie!
I was up and moving in the direction of the pained gasps now filling the air, shoving assholes aside, as the rest of the noise started to lessen, and there she was, cradling her arm, with tears pouring down her cheeks.
“Soph! What the… who fucking did this?” I turned to Reaper, the obvious suspect, who was sneering at her and seeming to mock her pain, and I saw red again. I jabbed a finger in his direction.
“Didn’t know you wanted to die tonight too, but you’re about to.” I flew at him, my first punch catching the side of his head, as he tried to turn and defend himself.
Many hands dragged me away from him, while I fought every last fucking one of them. He hurt my fucking woman, fuck…Soph… I shook free of their hold instead, moving over to her, and trying to ignore the way she flinched when I reached for her.
“Babe…”
“Get me out of here,” she whispered desperately, but I knew that arm of hers needed urgent help first.
“You fuckers have a doc here to help her?”
“Like we’re the fucking brady bunch or something? Get out of here with this shit, and take that pathetic prick with you,” Crusher said, jabbing a thumb in the direction of the unconscious prospect. I wrapped an arm around Sophie, and started walking away from them, keeping my eyes active to watch for further attacks.
“He’s your problem, but she’s mine.” I didn’t just mean it the way it sounded, either, because I was starting to understand how my former brothers at Phoenix MC had felt, and my own actions from the past once again ate at me. I was no better than Reaper, was I?
Despitetheriskstomy own freedom, and anonymity, I took her straight to the nearest urgent care facility, cursing myself once more for the bridges I’d burned in the name of revenge. Doc, or Torch’s old lady, would have helped her, if I hadn’t been such a fucking asshole.
Soph wanted me to stay in the waiting room while she was seen, and I couldn’t exactly argue, could I? I’d shed my fake cut, and thrown a jacket over my bloody arms, but it hadn’t gone unnoticed by the urgent care staff that I had been in a fight, even though they didn’t know I’d been the aggressor. When Soph came back out, we went to x-ray, then back to wait, but at least they’d given her pain relief, and she’d calmed down a little.
“Babe, you never said what happened,” I whispered to her, as we took two seats away from everyone else in the waiting room. Soph shuddered, lowering her eyes to her wrist, which was swelling badly, and looked awful. They’d given her an ice pack for it, but it wasn’t doing much.
“Fuck this,” I said, since we’d been waiting almost two hours since the x-rays. I got up, and Soph started to try and get up, to follow me.
“S’okay, babe, wait here.” I strode to the reception desk, and leaned on it.
“Can I help you?” I glanced at the sign, warning zero tolerance of staff abuse, and sighed, calming myself as best I could.
“Any idea how much longer, love, she’s in so much pain.” I reconfirmed her details, and the reception lady checked her system.
“Any time now,” she finally said, and I sighed.
“It’s been hours since the x-ray, and it’s swelling really badly.”
The older lady nodded tiredly, pointing at her screen again.
“Like I said, any time now.” Fuck’s sake. I joined Soph again, letting out a frustrated growl.
“This is fucking ridiculous, why the fuck haven’t they called you yet?”
