Get ready, pixie, because you and I are not over, and I will be seeing you real soon.
I love you.

I drop the letter back on the bed as my sobs tear from me, pain like no other filling me. I struggle to breathe as it becomes too much as I gasp for air, bending forward, crying my heart out, not knowing what to do, what to even think.
How does he thinkIcan get over what he’s done?
Two hours later, after scheduling an appointment with Dr. Chimes with just me, needing help to sort my emotions out after my mini breakdown from reading Ty’s letter, I walk into theexam room Pauline has stated is mine. I bite my bottom lip as I look around all the equipment.
Tomorrow I start here, and I am in no way near ready, my mind all jumbled up especially with Doc holding Cole against me.
The dick has also kept him out of school, just so I can’t go and get him. So if I want to see my son again, then I need to move back onto club grounds, where my husband had an affair, because the club has the police and judges in their pocket.
Did I mention they’ve lost my trust?
“Hi there,” I hear from behind me, and I turn around and lock eyes with Doc’s old lady, Brittany, her sapphire eyes looking me over.
I knew she worked here, just didn’t know how to explain the whole club situation, a club I want no part of.
“Hi,” I say softly, not wanting to take my anger out on her over her old man.
“I’m Brittany Conners, the nurse here,” she introduces herself as she looks at me with furrowed brows.
I know she recognizes me, she just doesn’t know where from.
“It’s nice to meet you, Brittany,” I reply, “I’m Ashley Davis, and your old man is on my shit list, so I would really appreciate it if you didn’t tell him I’m working here.”
She frowns and asks, “Please tell me you did not screw my husband?”
I scrunch my nose up and gag a little.
“Eww no, god no,” I decline instantly shaking my head and she raises a brow but soon forms an ‘o’ when I state, “He’s like, I would say family but the club sat back and watched my husband cheat. And then your old man, my so called pseudo brother who I no longer trust called me today and threatened to keep my son from me if I don’t move back onto club property. Youknow, where my husband screwed my high school bully right underneath my nose for year–”
I clamp my mouth shut, shutting myself up.
Crap, I literally just word vomited.
“You’re Trigger’s old lady…” she whispers softly, but I shake my head.
“No,” I disagree, “I haven’t worn the leather since I was eighteen and his mama told everyone I was only with him for the patch, so I stopped wearing it. I was his wife, legally speaking, still am his wife but we’re separated.”
She nods in understanding before saying, “I won’t tell Asher that you work here, I promise, and he is most definitely in the doghouse for threatening to take your child from you. It’s wrong, especially when you’ve already been through so much,” she frowns, “I was told you worked at the convenience store and gave up your studies for Trigger to do his.”
I swallow hard and admit, “I’ve been lying to everyone. I told them I worked morning through to late evening, but really, I was in college during the day, and Cole used to come with me until Olive agreed to watch him. I was going to tell Ty, but then I uh… then I was, well, somethings happened and I couldn’t tell him or anyone for that matter.”
Brit nods softly. “I want to be friends,” she says, “And if you really want to punish Asher for being a jerk, there’s a neglected cat that has been dropped off called Ginger, I’ll help you steal him, I’m really good at that.”
I smile widely at the gleam in her eyes and nod, and she grins, and ease flows between us as she states, “I need to introduce you to Rose, you will love her, I mean your son does so…”
Brit takes a seat on my exam table as she gets out her phone, and I lean against the counter, starting a conversation with her, letting her distract me from my worries.
The club, Doc’s threats, Tyler, Talen who I, not because Doc told me to, but need to dump because apparently he’s not who he says he is and is most likely using me to get to the club. Cole’s attitude, the divorce, my pain, she gives me a distraction and hope that we will indeed become friends because other than Nat who barely answers her phone, I’ve never had a friend before.
Something tells me I’m going to need them to get through all this.
