My Brother's Roommate Chapter Thirty-Eight-Patch
Gabriel sat on the desk in the front office, smoking a cigarette when Patch walked into work the next morning. Everything Delaney mentioned about Gabriel hit him, and he wanted to believe that Delaney was being paranoid, but he wasn't sure. "What up," he said, putting out his cigarette. Patch tossed his helmet onto the front lobby seats, and glared at him. "Oh, you know, just finding my mother dead at my house. Ya know." By the look on his face, Patch knew he had heard the news. "I'm sorry, bro. I didn't know how to bring it up. Any news about it?" Patch wanted to reach inside Gab's mind and pull out the truth. If The Fallen Kings had kidnapped Heather just to see how Patch would react, wouldn’t they have taken her back after Patch found out? And wouldn't that have put them at Patch's house where his mother turned up dead? "No. Where is Heather?" Gabriel hopped off the desk and pulled up their computer system. "I'm not sure, I haven't seen her since you came and took her. You
My Brother's Roommate Chapter Thirty-Nine-Delaney
Delaney sensed Patch's aggravation as they parked, and he went straight into the Airbnb. She understood why he was mad, but he couldn’t restrain her for the rest of her life because of what happened. She felt it was a legit reason for her to go out with Katy, plus, she wasn't on her own. She followed him inside, and into the quiet house, while biting her bottom lip and fiddling with the hem of her T-shirt. Patch walked toward the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. The silence weighed heavily on Delaney as he took his time tossing the bottle and leaned back against the counter and closed his eyes. She watched the heavy way his chest raised and fell with each breath, and how his Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed. "Say something," she whispered, kicking at the hardwood with the tip of her shoe. Patch chuckled humorlessly. "Seriously Delaney?" he whispered. "We just found my mother dead and you're prancing around like nothing is happening in town? I asked you to sta
My Brother's Roommate Chapter Forty-Patch
He felt his insides turn to stone as the officer shoved him into the back of the police cruiser. The bars caged him in, making everything seem much more real. Not that his mother showing up dead didn't scream real. But this clarified who their number one suspect was ... Patch. So many memories surfaced, causing flashbacks from his youth when he was just another bad seed. However, he wasn't a bad seed anymore. Or … he didn't want to be. He expected them to question him about his mother's death. He knew they would because he'd been staying there; it was the address he put down on everything. His home address that felt like a ghost town now. They drove to the station in silence, he didn't dare speak or act out to give himself another mark. He had enough strikes against him. Being in The Fallen Kings, a bastard, and the son of a dead druggie didn't look good for him. They escorted him back into the station and into a room with a two-way mirror, a table and three chairs. One of the o

Delaney looped her arm around Patch's stomach in an attempt to make sure he was real. After they went back to the Airbnb, she felt like he might be plucked away at any moment. That short two hours he'd been away had felt like days. Maybe it was the fact he'd been at the police station, or everything going on around them. She'd never been more thankful for her brother in her life. If Lucas hadn't forked over the money for the lawyer, Patch would have been stuck with a court appointed lawyer, and he might as well been locked up for life. And now that they'd dove in together, she couldn't imagine him getting put away for life. Plus, they weren't any closer to finding out who killed Patch's mother, whether Dillon was really Patch's brother, and who was behind The South Side. Patch squeezed her tighter to his side and asked, "Are you asleep?" Delaney sighed. "No, I'm afraid to shut my eyes. I'm not sure if you'll still be there when I open them." He turned to face her, rubbing his th

Patch pushed out his kickstand, pulled out a cigarette and lit it up. He'd been on edge over the last few days, for good reason, and caved for a smoke. He dropped Delaney off with Lucas that morning hoping she'd stay put this time. He asked Lucas to keep an eye on her, but he wasn't sure if his sister's safety was his number one priority. He loved Delaney, but he also had his head up Katy's butt. He resisted the urge to call and check on them. They weren't children, and he needed to keep his head in the game. Gabriel's house sat around the corner from where Patch parked in an abandoned lot. The house looked dead to the world, only Gabriel's bike and who he assumed was Joey's small car sat in the driveway. He hated spying on Gabriel, but he knew that Delaney was right. Gabriel was up to something and it wasn't good. Patch finished his cigarette, and waited for what seemed like forever before the front door opened and Gabriel walked out. He wore his Fallen King's vest, and held
My Brother's Roommate Chapter Forty-Three-Delaney
Delaney stared at Katy's vehicle, and her blood ran cold. Katy's vehicle was parked in her driveway and her front door was locked. Delaney called her phone again but this time it went to voicemail. She ran her palm over her ponytail and took a deep breath. Lucas jogged around from the back of the house, and jabbed his finger over his shoulder. "Looks like the back door is unlocked … come on."She raced around the single story house, and into the small unfenced backyard. The sliding door opened when Lucas slid it opened. The house was clean, the TV was off, and everything looked untouched. Lucas stalked around the house like a madman, and Delaney took her time, looking at everything. If she knew anything about Katy due to the OCD habits that she had at the bakery, she knew everything needed to be in its place. So, she looked for anything that was out of place. Lucas barreled back into the living room. "I'm calling the police," he said, digging his phone from his pocket. Delaney wa
My Brother's Roommate Chapter Forty-Four-Patch
Patch pushed out the kickstand of his bike, and took a long look at the progress made on the clubhouse. The other member's bikes lined the place where the parking lot once sat, and the members stood in the foundation of the new clubhouse. Patch pulled out a cigarette, trying his best to calm his nerves before joining them. There was an energy in the air that he didn't like, and it made him check his phone again for a text or call from Lucas or Delaney. He felt better knowing that Lucas was with her, and that Joey would be safe soon enough. Daz stood in the middle of the group of members, smiling like a lunatic, and hyping everyone up. Patch didn't know what his agenda was, but he would find out soon enough. Patch: Text me when you get to the Airbnb. He shoved his phone into his jeans pocket, and walked up the wooden stairs and onto the platform of the new clubhouse. Some of the members he hadn't seen in over a month, or since the clubhouse was burned, and he didn't feel bad ab

Delaney washed the conditioner from her hair, and ran her fingers through the length. She'd left the boys to watch over Joey, because she couldn’t look at her any longer. When she arrived at Gabriel's house with Lucas, her nerves were all over the place, but nothing compared to the feeling she had of seeing her for the first time. Her eyes looked sunken in and black, her cheeks bruised and boney. She looked like a walking skeleton. Delaney would never get that ghostly look out of her head. Like a She finished her shower, drying her hair and the droplets off her skin. There were a million questions that needed to be answered. Who killed Patch's mom? Where was Katy? And how was this going to work out so that Patch and Delaney could be together. She didn't know, and it hurt her to not know. The bathroom door opened, and Patch walked inside, leaning against the doorjamb, his arms folded over his body. He'd lost his shirt, and only wore a low-slung pair of pants. "You okay?"Delaney s

The sound of Delaney's car door slamming behind her, and peace the front seat of her car brought, made her smile. She'd spent most of the day studying in-between her grad school classes, before she needed to get home to whip up something for dinner. She'd spent the majority of the semester, trying her hardest to get the last few months out of her brain. Well, the bad parts of it at least. Those months brought her back into Patch Larson's sight. The mention of his name still gave her goosebumps. After his shoulder healed, and she made arrangement for grad school in Florida, they moved. Witout second thought, they gatered their things and moved. No more small town drama. No more of her father's problems, not that he hadn't tried to reach out by phone, and write Lucas wanting her to stop by. Maybe one day she could stop by, but at the moment, she didn't want to hear his lies or excuses. Having to go back for the trial would be enough for her. She hated that Patch had to relive a
My Brother's Roommate Chapter Fifty One-Patch
The searing pain in Patch’s shoulder throbbed in sync with his heartbeat. He’d never been shot before, and he realized quickly he was glad for it. Delaney's voice wavered in and out of his hearing, her soft touches seemed light years away. Patch didn’t even realize the EMTs had arrived until they lugged him up and onto the gurney. They lifted him with a struggle up the spiral staircase as he heard the police reading Delaney's father his rights. He knew everything would be cleared now. The police had no choice but to drop their case against Patch and his mother. They figured it out. They knew who was behind the killings, and The South Side. Most likely other killings as well. Maybe they could settle solve other murders or mysteries now that he was caught. But Patch knew that the struggle wasn’t completely over. His best friend and his girlfriend just found out that their father was a murderer. A serial killer. A man they didn’t know him to be. The hurt in Delaney's voice and her

The shade of white on Delaney's face grew more pale by the second. Something traveled over her features, and realization settled there. She didn't even budge when the mug shattered to pieces at her feet. "What do you mean?" Patch asked after everyone became quiet. "You remember the mug? Couldn't it have come from your house--," She shook her head. "No. I vividly remember the mug and the cabin," she said, leaning against the island, she palmed her head in confusion. "I was around eight or so. We'd gone somewhere, and after dinner I was so sleepy, I fell asleep in the backseat. Dad must have thought I was out of it, and left me in the car while it was running," she whispered, her gaze traveling some place far off. "I stumbled out of the car, and into the cabin. I'd never been there before, it was old, and smelled like grandma's house. I remember feeling thirsty, so I poured myself a glass of water with a mug from the cabinet. I grabbed that mug," she said softly. "I yelled for Dad, an
My Brother's Roommate Chapter Forty-Nine-Delaney
Her entire body felt numb. A soul crushing numbness that began to eat at her insides, and travel through her veins like a virus, meant to kill her. My dad? Daddy? None of it made sense. How could her own dad be behind any of this? He’d taught her how to ride a bike, how to tie her shoe, and drive. His soft smile always put Delaney at ease. And to know that he was someone else’s fear. That he tortured Katy. He potentially killed Patch’s mother, and was behind The South Side? Why? Nothing made sense. She tried to put everything together, but nothing fit. It was a jigsaw puzzle with no matching pieces, that she didn’t know if it would ever come together. Her father’s eyes looked so lifeless when she stared into them. Tears coated her cheeks, and her bottom lip trembled. When Patch sprung into action, none of it registered. She stood like statue, waiting to wake up from her dream, but it didn’t happen. She didn’t even remember locking the door, or Gabriel getting arrested. It was
My Brother's Roommate Chapter Forty-Eight--Patch
"I don't know why you're freaking out right now," Lucas said, swerving onto the main highway taking them to his dad's house. "My dad is not behind this. You think he kidnapped my girlfriend, too? Come off it, Patch. That's ridiculous." Patch knew how it sounded to Lucas, how it sounded to himself. He didn't want to accuse Mr. Summers of anything. He'd taken him in on so many occasions, that he didn't want to think he'd be behind this. But Patch's gut told him to get back to Delaney. "Are you even listening?" Lucas said louder this time. Patch glanced over at him, and he looked worried—irate—but worried. Maybe worried Patch was right. "I’m listening," Patch said, shoving his fingers into his hair. "I maybe wrong, but I have a feeling." Lucas sighed heavily. "There is something that I need to tell you," he said. "What is it?" "Dad … he. Our mother didn't die in a car accident, Patch. Someone broke into our house when we were small, and … killed her. We told Delaney she died fr

"I'll give Beth one thing. She picks the best snacks," Delaney said, tossing a bag of chocolate covered raisins and white chocolate popcorn at Joey on the couch. "Hmm. Yum," Joey said, opening the Zip-Lock bag. Delaney opened the cabinet where the wine normally was, and noticed it was empty. "No wine. Boo," she said, making her way toward the couch. "All of my lame teenage rom-coms are in my bedroom. Want to see how awesome I was in high school?" Joey laughed, and walked with her up the stairs. They passed Patch's room, and Joey jabbed her thumb across the hallway. "Guest room?" Delaney opened her room. "Sort of. Patch would stay there when he spent the night." "He didn't stay with Lucas?" Delaney sat down in front of her DVD case. "Well, he would stay over when his mother was strung out for weeks at a time. It was kind of his permanent room here." Joey plopped down beside her. "No wonder you have a thing for him," she said, shoving her shoulder into his. "Did you spy on him?"

Delaney pulled her hair to the side and braided it down her shoulder. Patch watched from the doorway, his gaze longing on her for as long as he could before it was time to go. They'd spent the day together, with Lucas and Joey, plotting their plan for the evening. Everything about the night made Patch uncomfortable. He never knew what the next day held, but he didn't like walking into the lion's den. He knew Gabriel was in on something bad, and it involved other people, but he didn't know who those people were. They could be cold, and heartless, put a bullet in his head without a second thought. Delaney's gaze shifted to Patch's in the mirror where she fixed her hair. Something about the day felt heavy, and cold, which made his stomach tie into a knot. "What are you thinking about over there?" she asked, turning to face him. "You look lost in thought." She wore a simple T-shirt, that showed the curve of her ample breasts, and a pair of jean shorts that highlighted the womanly
