His Best Friends Sister: Falling for the Firefighter Chapter 25
Ava had been drowning in her work for seven days. The silence at home was suffocating, a gaping wound that Ethan’s absence had left behind. He avoided her at every turn, and the house felt colder, emptier without his presence. Ava threw herself into her rotations at the Summit Springs Clinic, taking on extra shifts, volunteering for overtime, anything to keep her mind and body occupied. The exhaustion was a welcome numbness, a reprieve from the constant ache in her chest.The clinic’s emergency line blared, shattering the monotonous hum of the waiting area. Ava’s head snapped up from the chart she was updating, her heart pounding.“Summit Springs Clinic, how can I help you?” she answered, her voice steady despite the adrenaline rush.“Industrial accident at the lumber mill,” the dispatcher’s voice crackled over the line. “Crush injury, severe bleeding. Paramedics are en route, ETA five minutes.&

Ava paced the kitchen, her eyes flicking between the clock and the window. The sun hadn’t risen yet, but the sky was starting to lighten, streaks of orange and pink bleeding through the dark. The 24-hour mark was approaching, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that this would be the longest hour of her life.She poured herself another cup of coffee, the liquid black and bitter. She’d lost count of how many she’d had since the previous morning, when the call came in about the warehouse fire. She’d spent the night watching the news, her stomach in knots, her phone clutched tightly in her hand, waiting for any word.The sound of an engine rumbled through the quiet street, and Ava’s heart leapt into her throat. She set the mug down and rushed to the window, her eyes scanning the darkness. There, at the end of the driveway, she saw the familiar silhouette of Ethan’s truck, its headlights cutting through the pre-dawn gl

Rescue Engine 3 rumbled down the highway, its lights flashing, sirens silent. The cab was a coffin, the air thick with unspoken words and the lingering scent of smoke.Ethan gripped the wheel, his knuckles white. Jaxon sat beside him, staring out the window, his jaw set. The silence was a living thing, growing heavier with each mile.The call had been bad. A multi-vehicle pileup on Route 9, a semi jackknifed, fuel spilling, flames licking at the sky. They’d worked as a team, cutting people out, dragging them to safety, fighting a war against the fire and the clock. The adrenaline had been a drug, a temporary escape from the storm brewing between them.Now it was wearing off, and the truth was creeping back in.Jaxon’s phone buzzed. He didn’t check it. He didn’t need to. He knew it was Ava, worried, waiting. He could almost hear her voice, soft and steady, telling him to be safe. He wanted to answer. He wanted to tell her he was okay, that he was coming home. But he couldn’t. Not yet.

Ava went to her room and climbed into bed after their interaction. She was exhausted from work physically, but she was also mentally and emotionally drained. She sat there thinking about what Ethan said to her downstairs, how visibly upset he was.The weight of Ethan's words this evening still hung heavy in the air."It's disgusting," he had spat, his eyes cold and hard.The memory sent a chill down her spine. She had never seen him so furious, so wounded. She knew she had to face him, to try and make things right, but the thought of his reaction filled her with dread.Her thumb hovered over the screen, and she took a deep breath before starting to type a message to Jaxon."Ethan completely lost it tonight. He knows we planned on telling him. He said we were sneaking around under his nose and called it disgusting. Jax, I'm scared. I need to know we're still on the same page."She sent the message, her heart in her throat as she waited for his response. It came almost immediately."Don

Ethan's jaw tightened, and he turned away, heading toward the kitchen."I need a shower," he said, his voice clipped.Ava looked at Jaxon, her heart aching. He met her gaze briefly, his eyes filled with a mix of regret and love, before he turned and followed Ethan. The door to the bathroom closed, and Ava was left standing in the living room, alone with the weight of her actions.The house was quiet, too quiet. The usual sounds of a family waking up were absent, replaced by a suffocating tension. Ethan came downstairs first, his hair still damp from the shower, his face cleaned of soot. He avoided looking at Ava, his eyes fixed on the floor as he moved through the house. Jaxon followed, his eyes meeting Ava's for the briefest of moments, a silent apology in their depths, before he too looked away.Ava tried to speak, to reach out to them, but the words died in her throat. She didn't know what to say.Ethan broke the silence, his voice cold and distant."I'm going to bed. I need to sle

Ava rushed to grab a quick shower, her hands trembling as she scrubbed her skin under the spray. The hot water washed away the lingering warmth of Jaxon’s touch, but it couldn't wash away the echo of Ethan's furious voice or the violent slamming of the front door. Her heart pounded in her chest, a rapid, erratic rhythm that matched the frantic thoughts racing through her mind.She dressed quickly, her movements jerky and uncoordinated, as if her body was struggling to keep up with her racing thoughts. She could still feel the ghost of Jaxon's lips on hers, the weight of his body on top of her, and the intensity in his eyes as he whispered his love. But those memories were overshadowed by the image of Ethan's face, twisted in anger and betrayal.Her parents, already alerted by the sudden commotion of the guys leaving, came down to sit with her, their faces etched with worry. Her mother took one look at her pale face and frowned."Ava, what's w
