fuck would Bridges have Sheila killed?" Bridges? Why did Nikki know that name? There was a long pause and Nikki could feel the atmosphere change, the air becoming thick with anger. "I can't believe he did that shit without a vote........ They nearly got Nikki killed Tex I don't give a fuck what their excuses were we should've been told." Nikki's eyes began to flicker, the light didn't burn through her eyelids this time there was only a soft glow. She opened them slowly to find Trace standing at the foot of her bed his back to her as he talked. Her shoulder hurt like a bitch and she shifted uncomfortably on the bed a hiss escaping her. Trace turned quickly towards her "She's awake brother... Yeah. Seeya." Trace smiled at her his face softening as he moved to the side of her bed. His baby blues locked onto hers and he reached out sweeping a stray piece of hair from her cheek "Hey baby girl." If the pain killers didn't work staring at him might be just as good a distraction from the pain, he was gorgeous. Short messy spiky dark hair that made you wanna run your fingers through it and mess it up some more. His smile was cheeky light hearted and full of beautiful perfect white teeth. He had a constant five day growth that Nikki swore he trimmed daily so it stayed exactly that way all the time. The guy was just short of six foot, his body lean and muscular. But it was his eyes that really sucked you in. They were an ocean blue deep enough to drown in and when you looked at them you swore that everything was good in the world.
He looked more like an underwear model than a biker but brothers came in all sorts of shapes and sizes. He was such a pretty boy they'd often joked that if it weren't for the revolving door of pussy he had they'd swear he was gay. To which his response had been to refer to her as baby girl and comment rather explicitly about how hot Tex was. They had all laughed about it but she thought the reference to her was sweet and she liked it so it stuck. All that was nowhere near enough to distract her from the ugliness inside her. "Hey" her voice was a hoarse almost whisper. "How you feelin?" How was she feeling? Sore as fuck and dying on the inside. "Fine." He smiled at her gently as if he knew she was lying but he didn’t push. "The doctor said there's no major damage your shoulder will be sore for a while but you'll be good as new in a few weeks." She closed her eyes. Good as new, what a fucking joke. She'd never been good as new before this shit now she was just plain destroyed. "Out long?" Her words felt thick in her mouth and she strained to speak. "Just last night. It's about 6 o'clock now. Doctor should be in soon to check on you you’ll have to stay a day or two but then we’ll take you home." He came up really close to her. “I heard you ask that guy who sent them. Did he give you a name?”
A name? Her thoughts drifted to her mother’s house. The ache inside her chest became unbearable her lungs squeezed and her stomach twisted causing her to gag. She sat up folding forward at the waist. She scrambled to get off the bed. "Whoa there baby girl. Relax." Trace threw his arm around her to stop her from getting off the bed and grabbed onto her shoulder. The pain hit her like a freight train forcing the air back into her lungs stopping all thoughts in her head. A yelp left her and Trace moved his hand cursing and apologising while laying her back on the bed. "Fuck. I'm so sorry Nikki. You looked like you were about to fall. You ok baby girl?" She leaned back slowly and closed her eyes gritting her teeth against the pain "Yeah." “Let me take the edge off” he hit the morphine. The silence that followed was filled only by the guilt weighing heavily on Nikki's heart and the memories of her mother. "Bridges" she whispered it not wanting it to pass her lips. "What was that baby?" Trace stroked her cheek as he spoke. “The name, Bridges” her words more audible this time Trace gave a single nod in
