A Kiss & A Shared Wound

Chapter Two

   Aria Pov

I seriously don't know when my life became this unbearable, I mean yeah I have been abandoned by my dad when I was five and I have a deep secret only me and my mom know but the fact that I wake up everyday to my two stupid step brothers and their d**k of a father whom is very abusive and demanding at the same time. After my dad left my mom met Jonas and he was loving and supportive and they had a little daughter who is my half sister, but then he lost his job and his twin sons namely Ryker and Jace but you can call them the Bi*ch Twins came to stay with us after their mother died of cancer. The three of them started gambling and soon they fell into debt, heavy debt.

Being indebted to such a dangerous man who owns the club they gamble at and according to them happens to be the leader of a very dangerous gang we have never heard of not even as a rumour he started being abusive to me and mom and even his daughter saying sh*t like girls are useless in his world except when they have to be used for a debt. He comes home and takes all the money that me and mom work so hard to get and he keeps saying he is paying his debt when in reality he is gambling it away.

Today I was in no mood to deal with anything stupid because my day started on a bad day due the fact that I woke up to Jonas hitting my mother because he lost his weekly allowance-(I call it that because he is unemployed and gets money from us) to booze and woman. I had so much anger within me but I had to think of Amber who is my half sister, because if I touch Jonas then the Bi*ch Twins hit her and my mom asked me to never let that happen. We protect Amber first before ourselves. It was in the afternoon and I still had zero tolerance for stupidity but alas nothing goes my way because Jacka*s, Baldie and i***t  showed up and man they were testing my patience with their comments and ordering me around.

On their third order of beer I was pissed and annoyed, I felt so angry and I don't know where this anger comes from it has always been there. I thought it was because my dad left me when he was really a hero to me but my mom said even before then I had it but my dad helped me manage it better all the time but he was MIA now and I had a hard time controlling it. So these three bi*ches were testing me because they kept saying this is not what they ordered so I just took Baldie's cup and spit in it and said bon appetite bi*ch then his friends really wanted to manhandle me but my anger rose and I punched i***t right on the nose, I think I broke it.

I knew Joe would appear in like five minutes so that gives me five minutes to release my anger and as I was busy hitting i***t, Jacka*s spilled his beer on me and hit me with the glass, that gave Baldie  a chance to punch me in the stomach and when  i***t was about to punch me but the punch never came and the rest just stopped hitting me, that's when I heard a bang on the table and I opened my eyes to see Jacka*s being knocked out cold on the floor.

I looked at my savior and the first thing that met me was his soft hazel eyes that look like they haven't just banged a head on the table and punched the lights out of two other guys. After what seemed like an eternity my eyes just sort of wondered down on their own and I saw his smooth blonde hair that was slicked neatly to the back, his baby pink slim lips, his hard chest and you could tell he stands at 6'11 inches tall. I was staring so badly I could tell I was about to drool but at that very moment I quickly held out my hand and said thank you.

He put his hands on my forehead and I kinda flinched back so that he doesn't touch me and that is when I noticed it, his hazel eyes had gone cold like he was ready to murder me.

"You bleeding"  he said as he looked at the blood on his index finger and I noticed how he looked at Jacka*s like he was ready to hit him again.

"Uhm it is no biggie I will just wash that off right now" I said holding my head so I don't feel dizzy but his eyes were still on passed out Jacka*s so I added just to ease the tension  "I don't think they will ever bother me again after today." and his eyes seemed to go back to calm and something in me sighed and was content.

"Boss, were you in a fight again?" A six feet tall, brown skinned brunette male stood right next to me and asked the hazel eyed man.

Wait are they in a gang or something, because I can not be indebted to a guy in a gang, is that why he took these three in a hot minute without even flinching? ohh my god he is definitely gonna want me to work at his strip club as a payment for the fact that he saved me. As these thoughts were going through my head I was wide eye looking at the brunettes brown eyes the whole time. Joe cleared his throat and all I could say was "Please don't!"

They all looked at me with surprise but my saviors eyes had gone cold, those hazel eyes were so cold and they were starring at the brown eyed man.

"Aria go clean up the blood and you can have the rest of the day off" Joe said as he pushed me to his office, I think he noticed that I couldn't move. I got in the office and cleaned myself up then put on a band aid on my forehead and i went out with my apron still on. Just when coming out I bumped into Joe and he looked at me warningly.

"Aria why do you never listen?" you could see he was annoyed.

"Well Joe I really just wanna serve the hazel eyed man who stood up for me today is that so bad?" I asked in the most humble way ever.

"Well he just left so give me the apron" he put out his hand for me to hand over the apron.

"But you were just talking to him right now" I looked over Joe's shoulder and nothing " where did he go so quickly?" I looked at him accusingly.

"Home probably, which is where you should be heading" he said still with his hand out.

"Wait Joe did you scold him?" I was about to throw a fit in a minute "You know he was just helping right?" I intensified my gaze on him.

"Aria stop acting and go home" he said sternly and I knew if I didn't listen he was going to scream at me. So I gave him the apron and went out of the door.

As always I am not going home unless I really have to, so I went by the trashy ally and jumped the fence then went to my quite spot.

When I got there all I could think about was the hazel eyed man, I didn't even get to ask his name or just give him the coupons for free beer for a week. Hell I didn't even get to ask why he saved me or how he would like me to repay him. He was really brave I mean mostly at our bar people just mind their own business and when the fight escalates between customers Joe then throws them out,

Wait why am I thinking too much about hazel eyed guy? Ohh my god why did I pay so much attention to how his emotions changed and how his eyes were affected? Oh my god what is wrong with me?

Wait calm down Aria you not in love, you just grateful that he saved you because nobody ever stood up for you and the reason you were too focused on him and not brown eyes is because he did all the fighting just breathe in and let go. I spent the last remaining hour of my shift just lying on my ack and looking toward the sky, it was partly cloudy and the clouds had a silver shine outline on them when the sun disappeared behind them and it was so satisfying to watch honestly.
