Unbreakable Soldier

Its her .........Lala

--------------------Beau’s/BEAST POINT OF VIEW--------------------

That voice I know it and I’m frozen.

I don’t even need to see her face! I know her sweet voice and this is her song I know it.

I close my eyes and place my head in my hands listening to her.

*Layla Singing*

‘So I dug my keys into the side

Of his pretty little supped up 4 wheel drive,

Carved my name into his leather seats…….I took a Louisville slugger

To both headlights, slashed a hole in all 4 tyres.

Maybe next time he’ll think

Before he cheats”

The crowd is going crazy for her; they are f*****g chanting “LALA, Lala, Lala”.

I finally look up as Rex grabs my shoulder yelling with excitement over the crowd “BRO THAT’S HER! SHE IS f*****g AMAZING RIGHT?”  I look up and when I see her my heart stops in my chest I’m frozen in place. I can’t seem to breathe.

“Man hey you ok?” Rex asks concerned.

“f**k…. Stay away from her Rex” I bark the words at him. I abruptly stand and make my way to the stage…Rex chasing after me screaming “What the f**k man? What’s going on?” I ignore him as I’m now forcibly pushing through the crowd to get to her.

I don’t know if I’m angry. I know I feel relieved to see her alive but I f*****g need answers and I’m going to get them!

I come to a stop at the base of the stage; I fold my arms across my chest and look up to her. Our eyes lock. She drops the microphone and comes to the edge of the stage and bobs down. Her eyes never leaving mine as she speaks “Sorry Bobo”.

My heart lurches out of my chest at those simple words. As I reach out to her she stands and backs away. “LAYLA” I yell. I look into her eyes as she bows her head and jumps off the back of the stage and disappears. I feel hot wells in my eyes and I shake them off as Rex comes to a stop beside me out of breath.

“Whattheactualfuck Beau?” He puts hands on his knees bent over breathing heavily.

“f**k …..FUCK” I snap running my hand through my hair turning to Rex.

Rex looks breathless and confused “I know where she lives bro” he says. That gets my attention and my head snaps to him “TELL ME WHERE? AND HOW YOU KNOW NOW!!!” I must sound like an asshole right now but I don’t care.

“Calm down beast, I don’t want you to hurt her” Rex says calmly.

“HURT HER!?” I’m angry. He has no idea who she is to me or should I say WAS! I need to see her. I want to talk to her. I spit my next words at Rex “WHO THE f**k DO YOU THINK YOUR TALKING TO REX?”

Rex looks hurt when he says “f*****g hell Beast! I’m out” He takes off towards the exit and only turns to look at me as I approach to say “I’ll see you when you simmer down Beast!” and before I can yell he starts his bike and is gone.

“DAMN IT!’ I yell singing my leg angrily over my bike starting it and heading back to the club.

--------------------Layla’s point of view--------------------

I back away from Beau; his eyes start to glaze over. I grab Madz hand “I’m going to go Madz” I say to her. She looks at me then turns to see Beaus face then back to me she nods frantically “GO” she yells. I jump off the back of the stage and high tail it home.

Once inside I start pacing “f**k Rex knows where I live!” I’m starting to regret coming back here. I saw a glimpse of my Bobo but then his face distorted and his eyes glazed over I didn’t want to fight in front of anyone…..

I wanted to throw my arms around those broad shoulders and wrap my thighs around his tones waist….. But too much time has passed right? He probably has a Mrs. by now! Right what was I thinking? I know I owe him an explanation, I also know its 7 years too late but f**k it I’ve got to do it now!!

I shoot Madz a text demanding she give me the address of the bar she works at. After some back fourth about safety she gives in and sends it.

I roll my eyes I know the address very well! I don’t bother changing I grab my leather jacket and keys and out.

--------------------Beau/Beast point of view--------------------

I get back to the club, park my bike and storm up to the doors kicking them open *BOOM* I march into my club and yell to the bar “USUAL NOW” I get to my booth sit down and huff when a tray of whiskey neats is placed down. The club that had fallen silent upon my entry slowly starts to bustle again.

“Beast you good?” Tank asks

I grunt not looking at him. What? What am I gonna say to her? What the f**k?? My mind is racing and I notice Tank still staring at me “f**k OFF TANK!”

“Boss?” he jumps looking at me

“I said f**k off TANK!” I use my boss voice. Tank gets up and walks to a group of boys sitting by the door. The doors swing open and f*****g hell there she is. In my club! All the boys are staring at her and its making me mad. She scans the room briefly and heads straight to the bar.

I observe a little more.

As she is walking one of my men stop her.

“You lost sweetness?” he says cheekily Tank whispers something to Damon that causes him to look shocked and he starts to laugh.

“f**k you Damon” Tank says clearly pissed off.

She crosses her arms over her chest clocking the room when the sexiest smirk appears on her perfect mouth “Oh Douche bag number 2 I’ve missed you!” she smiles at tank wickedly

“f**k you” Tank spits his words at her as he steps towards her but she’s quicker. She has grabbed him by the balls hard by the looks of it. Staring straight into his eyes she threatens “Back the f**k up dickface unless you want a broken jaw to match that nose?”

Tank is yelling and backing away when Damon goes to step in. he grabs her shoulders but she is smiling. Why the hell is she smiling? I stand and yell “BACK THE f**k OFF BOYS” They all stop, the music stops, everyone turns to me. Layla still has a grip on Tanks balls and he is almost crying. She drops them and turns to me. The boys step away and she turns to the bar and sits on a stool ordering a drink.

As I stalk towards her one of the club whores comes over and starts rubbing against me “Hey beast need some release baby?” she asks, I push her away by her face and make my way to the bar sitting next to Layla.

“Layla” I manage her name quietly.

“Beast is it?” She says sarcastically.

I’m angry at her but still manage a chuckle at her sassiness. I hesitate but grab her arm and drag her back to my corner booth. She yanks her arm out of my grasp and slides in opposite me.

“Sorry” I say sincerely

“I only ALLOWED you to guide me here remember that!” she says sternly her words dripping with venom as she stares into my eyes.

“NO ONE speaks to me like that” I bark at first raising my voice before calming it down so people don’t stare.

“AND NO ONE touches me without permission got it?” she’s deathly stern. I sigh in frustration and run a hand through my hair.

I know now for a fact she WAS the one who messed up my boys. I have to say knowing it was her is hot and has me thinking all sorts of things…..I need to get her out of my head. She left me without a word! I thought she died or was taken when they found her dad dead and her mum gone.

“So 7 years and not so much as a phone call?” I ask abruptly. She looks up at me through her long lashes and sighs “I owe you and explanation I know and some closure….I’m sorry Bobo!” her voice is sad. “Don’t call me that!” I spit out the words. She breathes deeply and continues on but not without rolling her eyes.”Look I had to get out and I’m sorry I should have said good bye” she looks genuine. “GOODBYE!! You think I was mad about a goodbye?” I’m surprised. Her eyes narrow on me and I take a deep breath, “Keep your voice down Beast” she demands. “Why?” I sigh out.”Its such a s**t story Bo….I mean Beast… I had to go I had no choice so I thought it’d be best to just leave” hey eyes pleading. “Oh so you just decided huh?” I’m sarcastic. “Look its clear to me you are NOT ready for this conversation so let’s reschedule BEAST” she yells my name then grabs one of my whiskeys downs it in one gulp slamming in onto the table. She takes my phone from the counter types a few things hands it to me and stands to leave, “STOP” I yell but she just keeps going towards the doors when Rex enters. He stops in front of her and gently pushes a strand of her hair behind her ear. “Hey are you ok?” Rex asks her concern written all over his face. “Rex!” she says before getting in closer to him. She leans in to his ear whispering and now I’m f*****g fuming!!!!! I’m about to interrupt when I see Rex drop to his knees moaning in pain. She graciously steps around him and heads out the door. Everyone’s mouths are open in shock and I don’t know why I feel relieved by her actions and a little happy. I chuckle and walk over to Rex, standing above him with my arms folded over my chest I bend down and ask “What did she say?” he stammers out “I didn’t have per-p-permission” he finally manages to get it out and I laugh. I laugh so hard I look like a crazy person. I bend down to Rex “Now what is her address bro?” my tone light. He gives me her address and I pat him on his face chuckling. I go upstairs to my room, lock the door and get in the shower.

In the shower I’m thinking and she’s right maybe I don’t want to hear what she has to say right now. But why? Why am I even considering going to see her? f*****g hell!!! I choose not to go to her house. Not tonight maybe not at all. I sigh struggling to sleep. I grab my phone and notice a message to a number I didn’t send! She must have texted herself from my phone. I open the text and it just says Bobo. I put my phone down and lay in bed wide awake.

*PING*

I reach for my phone. I know its Layla as I look at the above message that says Bobo.

*TEXT*

Hey Bo

Look I left because my life was f****d up. You knew only half the s**t I dealt with daily. I wasn’t strong enough to tell you back then but if you still want to hear me out I’, guessing you know where to find me by now. Just know I’m not the person I was back then, a lot has changed me for the better. I am sorry for hurting you leaving like that. I often thought about you especially when times were tough for me. You saved me more than you know in the past 7 years.

Layla.

I read her message as soon as it came through. I didn’t know how to reply so I didn’t I went to sleep.
