Surrounded by Clouds (5) Edited
Flynn's P.O.V.
Knocking off another bag from the hook I shake my hands a little, I look down at them and see blood coming out of my knuckles, chuckling I walk over to the ring waiting for the worker to set up another bag on the hook. "Hurry up!' I snap at them scared they quickly lock the bag in place before running out of the room.
This was my therapy, this was my way of getting all of the anger out that I had kept inside for the past four years.
"I thought I would find you here," Amora said walking into the room dressed up in her workout clothes as well,
"What do you want Amora?" Not looking back at her
She smirked at me grabbing the bag, "I want to spend some time with you, Flynn,"
Not having her attitude I push her away from the bag roughly, "Get out of the way Amora,"
"Ora," She corrected me, as I rolled my eyes, "Wanna help me tape my hands?"
"No," I said bluntly punching the bag roughly, "Just mind your own goddamn business, Amora, then leave."
Amora huffed angrily grabbing my arms pulling me away from the bag and surprising me as she shoved me against the wall, "Stop being so cold Flynn,"
Glaring at her I grab her arm tightly pushing her against the wall in my place grabbing her neck in a warming grip I stare down at her, "I will behave how I please," I snapped at her squeezing her neck a little tighter, "No one tells me how the fuck I should act or talk, you even know that."
She inhaled sharply not backing down, "I will be as cold as I want towards you," I hiss pressing even harder, and then it clicked in her mind as panic took over in her eyes, "I HATE you, you made me think that you were dead for six fucking years and now that you are back you think that you can wander back into my life as nothing happened!"
"I don't think that!" She said mustering her strength, "I just want you to give me a chance Flynn,"
Letting her neck go I pushed off the wall so my back was facing her, "Get out Amora," I said firmly as she caught her breath,
"I missed you every hour, every minute, every second of those six years...I wanted to run back to you as fast as I could," She said exhaling deeply, "And after I came back I saw you madly in love with another girl, I was happy for you...I didn't want to cause any more problems in your life but I did. These past four years I have been watching you isolate yourself from everyone, from everything...but Flynn, one day you are going to be so lonely, you won't find anyone by your side if you keep this up."
Closing my eyes I clench my fists, "Amora, I said get out."
I heard Amora dust herself off from the floor and leave the room. I let out a big sigh of relief before resting against the wall,
"Thank god she's gone!" Lydia said sitting down in front of me smiling, confused I looked at her in shock. "What? Am I not allowed to be here?"
I shook my head no before pulling her into a tight hug, "No, no, I am just shocked. I thought I screwed up so bad that you would never come back-"
Lydia pulled out of the hug giggling, "Flynn...what are you talking about? Why would I not come back from work?"
Work? What is she talking about? She grabbed my hands looking down at the blood, "Flynn we have talked about this, you stop punching the bag when the blood comes out."
"A-Amora was- I mean she was annoying me."
Lydia gave me a bored look, "Right, that doesn't mean you hurt yourself, Flynn, wait here let me go get the first aid kit."
"No!" I said quickly pulling her down again, "No, just stay here for a little bit."
Sighing she sat down in front of me examining my face, "Flynn...why are you hurting yourself?"
"Because I hurt you," I admit, "I hurt Hunter, I deserve to be alone."
Gently bringing her hand up against my cheek she gave me a sad smile, "You did hurt us...a lot." She whispered, "But," Lydia unwrapped my hands cleaning the cuts on my knuckles with a towel, "Hurting yourself won't take our pain away, isolating yourself from every joy coming your way won't keep us happy,"
"Then what can I do to take the pain away?" I ask quietly
"Nothing," She said quickly looking back up at me, "You just have to promise me that you will stop hurting yourself."
"Promise," I said exhaling deeply I looked down at my knuckles waiting for her to respond but she kept quiet. "Luna?" I ask looking back again but she isn't there. Frantically looking around the room I try to find her but there is no one there...was she my imagination?
"No, no, no," I mumble, "This can't be happening again." I can't be imaging her again, I can't let her back in again. Getting back up off of the floor I ran out of the room towards my office where Dad and Brazen were already there. Trying to gain my composure I look back and forth between them.
"What is going on?" I ask taking a deep breath as Brazen stands up,
"Noah is alright with having an alliance with the Snipers," Dad said sighing, "But there is a condition."
Raising an eyebrow I lit up a cigarette, "What?"
"Luke Shelby is the head of their undercover enterprise, as a Law firm. The Jackson-Shelby Firm is being a pain in the ass. Since the Demons are going to be sharing some stocks, and income with us, because of the new alliance, he wants some percentage of the Cloud Clothering enterprise."
"So he wants a merger?" I ask sitting down on my chair, "What's the big deal? We'll give him 8 percent of the stocks in Cloud Shop, and 100 percent guaranteed protection from us. If he wants more then he will have to negotiate."
"You will have to go to Arizona to do that," Brazen said taking a sip from his drink before clearing his throat, "Luke Shelby's bloodline helped the Demons survive for so many years, so he has full rights on the Law Firm as much as the Jacksons. I tried to negotiate with him, but he wants a face-to-face meeting."
Groaning I leaned back in my chair irritated, "And I'm guessing by going to Arizona you mean Chandler right?"
Brazen looked at me confused, "What do you have against Chandler?"
Dad cleared his throat, "He knows that Lydia and Hunter are there,"
Brazen rolled his eyes, "Grow up Flynn, if you had the balls to throw both of them out of the house then you should have the balls to face them. The meeting will be in Chandler. Arizona." He said firmly before grabbing some files, "I will set it up with Luke Shelby and let you know the date."
Clenching my jaw I closed my eyes as he walked out of the room, "Where will I be staying?" I ask Dad
"We could buy you an apartment over there for the visit, but it's only for 2 weeks Flynn..."
Taking a couple of drags from my cigarette, I clear my throat, "As soon as Brazen finalizes the meeting, call Majesty and Noah to let them know that I will be staying at their house for 2 weeks."
"Sounds good."
"Is that all?" I ask wanting to be left alone,
"That's all Flynn," He sighed before leaving the room as well.
Chandler, Arizona...here I fucking come.
