Rumours

"What?" I asked.

"You've got a whipped cream tosh darl'." He laughed, his laughter sounding throughout the room. I smiled shyly before using my finger to wipe it away and sucking it off of my finger to get rid of it.

"Gone?" I asked, when I looked up he was watching me intensely and kicked his lips before nodding at me. "Shall we go to bed?"

"Oh yeah, I'll go sleep in the bar." He told me and I leaned forwards, grabbing his hand.

"You can stay in here." I told him, my heart beating fast as I awaited his answer.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I mean we've shared a bed before we may aswell just stay in here." I told him. He nodded, agreeing with my before kicking his jeans off and pulling his T-shirt from his head before sliding under the covers beside me.

"You sure this is okay?" He whispered as he turned off the light beside him, basking us in darkness.

"Yeah." I whispered back, rolling over and getting comfortable on my left side. I made sure to face away from him as I had no toothbrush and if I was to get up in the morning I didn't want him to think I had smelly breath.

"Night Ava."

"Night Mac."

I didn't know when I fell asleep all I remembered was waking up screaming as Mac held me by my shoulders as I struggled to catch my breath. The face of a Reckless Rebel with a bullet hole between his eyes permanently engraved on the insides of my eyelids, haunting my dreams.

My chest began to grow tight and I gripped onto Macs arm. "My inhaler." I croaked. "I need it." He shot away from me, rummaging through my neat pile of clothes in the corner hastily.

"Where is it?" He asked and the realisation dawned on me as I remembered that I'd left it at Mels along with my other belongings.

"Don't. Have. It."

His eyes widened in fear and he jumped away from the door as it swung open, revealing Ace. "What the fucks going on?" He roared angrily, his bleary eyes searching the room until they landed on me. "Ava?" His voice softened as he moved across the room, grabbing me by the shoulders.

"Are you having an asthma attack?" I nodded and he muttered a string of curse words before telling Mac he needed to go to wake my brother. "Where's your inhaler?"

"Don't. Have. It." I repeated, panicking as my chest tightened even more so and my breaths were becoming more laboured.

"Fuck." He muttered, grabbing me by my chin and forcing me to look into those amazing green eyes. "Deep breaths, do it with me now." He put both of his hands in my shoulders as he took in a deep breath. I did as he told me, it hurt but I managed.

"Out." I let it go.

"In." I inhaled as did he, it eased the pressure a little bit but no by much. I wouldn't get away with this without my inhaler.

"Out."

"In."

"Out."

We'd done it together a few times before my brother burst through the door a blue inhaler, in his hand. Where had he got that from? He pushed Ace out the way, forcing the inhaler into my mouth. "In." Axel commanded, pressing down on the top of my inhaler.
