Part 19 (1/2)

Once we were outside Denny picked up the pace, ”Call Doc, have him meet us at the house but tell him not to go in until we get there. We don't need Jonah flipping out.” He whispered a hint of panic in his voice.

Sliding into the back seat with me still in his arms I let me eyes slide shut.

I was close to losing it. If Denny didn't show up or call me soon I was going to have a mental break down.

When Denny got the call that Olivia had accidently been picked up by Adams boys I almost lost it right there in the club. The only thing that had stop me from storming into Adam's house and beating the living s.h.i.+t out of everyone was Denny reminding me that Olivia wasn't talking to me because of the person she thought I was now that she knew about the drug business.

Pacing back and forth through the living room Mason told me it was fine, for the hundredth time. One more fine out of his mouth and it was Mason I was going to beat.

Mason's cell ringing had me lunging for his phone but d.a.m.n him, Mason was faster.

Nodding his head and saying yes a lot made me almost lose it for the second time today.

Finally hanging up Mason gave me an uneasy look, ”You need to be prepared,” Oh s.h.i.+t how bad was it? ”Olivia has a pretty nasty b.u.mp on her forehead Denny's called Doc out.”

I Wanted to scream and beat who ever hit my Olivia but I did neither as the door opened and Denny came in with Olivia in his arms, I froze, with a big b.u.mp on her forehead cut and bruised and tears streaming down her face I lost all the fight, thoughts of killing anyone who'd played about in this screw up went out the window as all I wanted to do was hold her and take care of her.

Snapping out of it I went straight to them, Olivia arms reaching out for me before I even got there. Taking her into my arms I kissed her gently as she wrapped her arms around my neck holding on like she feared I might let her go. She had another thing coming, I was going to be stuck to her like glue for the rest of her life.

Moving across the room I sat on the couch so Doc could check her head without me having to let her go and by the way she was still holding on she wasn't going to be letting me go any time soon either.

As I sat down my arm under her legs moved to rest on her hip, Olivia's body tensed up and a hiss left her mouth. Pulling her s.h.i.+rt up and the waistband of her jeans down slightly deep purple bruises shaped like fingers had my vision turning red and thoughts of killing the person who put their hands on my girl back.

Denny and Mason stepped in closer to see what had me freaking out, Denny cussed while Mason's hand found one of Olivia's which she grabbed a hold of.

Trying to hand Olivia off to Mason, I got nails dug into my skin, ”What are you doing?” Olivia croaked out in a rough voice.

”Mason is going to take you for a little while I've got to deal with the person who put that mark on you.”

”Denny took care of it.” Olivia whispered holding me tighter.

”Is he still breathing?” I asked really hoping the answer was no.

”Not through his nose.” Denny hissed.

”Not good enougha'”

”Jonah no. That's not my Jonah.” Olivia spoke over my rant.

”What?” I asked looking down at her face.

”Before I was grabbed I was on my way to you because I remembered who you were before I found out. But being with Adam and his boys showed me that you and Denny are nothing like them. You may work in their world but you do not belong in their world. You're a good person Jonah, you just made a big mistake you need to fix.”

A hundred different emotions were running through me leaving me speechless. Settling back into the chair I held on to Olivia a little tighter kissing the top of her head.

Doing what he was paid to do without asking how or why Doc did his thing asking Olivia annoying questions, and poking around her head.

After another round of stupid questions Doc determined Olivia had a very mild concussion and other than some pain from the b.u.mp and cut she would be fine with over the counter pain killers, some more ice and being woken up every hour for the next twelve.

”You sure she's ok Doc?” I asked wanting to make sure.

”She's fine Jonah just a nasty bruise.” Doc a.s.sured me as he gathered his stuff, standing straight up he looked around the room, ”Try not to smother her boys it's a minor injury.”

Looking up I saw it wasn't just me worrying over Olivia, both Denny and Mason were huddled close, concern written all over their faces. It was obvious that they loved Olivia too.

Announcing I was taking Olivia to bed both Denny and Mason came to her.

Leaning down Mason kissed the uninjured side of her forehead, ”Glad your home honey.”

Taking Mason place Denny cupped Olivia's face kissing her softy on top of her head. ”No more crying sweetheart it breaks my heart.” Denny said catching the tear with his thumb, ”Next time you and Jonah get in to it don't leave us please.” Nodding her head yes Denny gave her another quick kiss then left the room.

Standing up with Olivia in my arms I carried her to my room to let her get some sleep before we had a very long talk.

Chapter 20.

Finally the longest twelve hours of my life were up; I'd woken Olivia every hour on the dot. For the first half she was groggy but smiley, the second half she was tired and mean and I found out last night, you should never wake a sleeping Olivia.

I hadn't slept at all last night instead I'd laid next to her watching her sleep. During the night Denny had come up and explained what had happen, that Adam's boys had taken her because they thought she was part of Mika's group. Mika's boys being in town was bad news, Olivia's brother once being involved with Mika was worse. Mika was a top drug lord in the Russian mob and pure evil; you didn't cross Mika and live to talk about it. If Mika had sent his right hand man to take over Vinnie's business we were screwed; Mika would have Vinnie's business sooner or later.

I didn't really care if Mika took Vinnie's business or not right now, I wanted to know how the h.e.l.l had Olivia's brother crossed Mika? Was it Mika that had been following Olivia, wanting her to pay for something her brother did? That thought both scared me and made me feel less guilty about bringing Olivia into my life because there was no way she could face Mika alone. And the guilt of exposing her to the harsher side of life was eased a little more by the voice in my head telling me that I did not show her the bad she had already seen it. Even if I'd left her alone like I should have she would have still been pulled into the bad because of her brother. What I would give to have a conversation with Olivia's brother.

Movement beside me pulled me away from my thoughts, looking down I found big blue eyes staring at me.

”What were you thinking so hard about?” Olivia asked sleep still heavy in her voice.

Did I tell her what I was thinking? Would talking about her brother send her into a panic attack? I couldn't deal with a panic attack on top of what happened last night, she already taken ten years off my life. ”How are you feeling?” I asked going for the safer route.

”Tired and my head kind of hurts still.” Pulling her face up so I could look at it better I gently felt around the b.u.mp causing Olivia to wince, kind of hurts my a.s.s she was in pain, ”I'll get you some more pain killers.”

”Thanks but I can get them I need to get up anyways.”

Was she freaking kidding me, ”Where do you think you're going?” I said stopping her from sitting up.

”Jonah, I'm fine.”

”I know but you scared the h.e.l.l out of meaagain, so just let me take care of you, ok? I need it.”

Staring at me for a long moment Olivia eyes filled with tears, ”I'm sorry I scared you again.”

Pulling her against my chest I kissed the top of her head. ”Not your fault baby.” I whispered into her hair.

”I shouldn't have been out so late but I needed to see you.”

This is what I needed, lifting her face up with my fingers on her chin I searched her face, ”Why did you need to see me Olivia?”
