Chapter TwentySeven
**A week later**
Alex came back from the bar with Harry and Jackson and proceeded to pass out the drinks. As a sort of ‘’Last Harrah’’, My friends had taken the four of us out for a night out. Jamie’s brother was a co-owner of a nightclub in the city centre and managed to get us all into the VIP section which seemed pretty awesome.
I’ll be honest, I was really annoyed when Ron made Harry and Jackson come with us, it was like he couldn’t accept that me and Alex were going away together ‘’unsupervised’’ but of course, he said it was ‘’for our own safety’’. What SS rival is going to follow us all the way to the United Kingdom to attack us?!
Chapter TwentyEightAs soon as we were in the bedroom, I slammed the door closed behind myself and instantly pounced on Alex, making us both fall back onto the bed. I was on top of him so felt slightly more in control than normal, normally he takes the lead but… I don’t know, maybe it was the insane amount of alcohol in my system, maybe it was because I was in my old bedroom and felt more in charge, either way, I WANTED to be in control and Alex realised that pretty quickly.Our kissing continued as we moved into a sitting position so it was easier for me to unbutton the nice, black button up shirt he had put on this evening, and throw it randomly on the floor… followed quickly by my dress and I pushed him back down again, shimmying down his body, trailing kisses, until I reached his trousers. I stole a cheeky look up at him as
Chapter TwentynineBreakfast so the next morning was just so awkward. There was clearly tension but no one wanted to bring it up. So... We sat and ate in complete silence. We all had a simple breakfast of toast or cereal and coffee. I hadn't even looked at Amanda or Jackson, let alone spoken to either of them. Sure, you could argue it wasn't my business, but I just couldn't believe Amanda would do something like this KNOWING he had a family! I was so ashamed of her and I was just flat out pissed off with him.Eventually, what sounded like a Skype call, cut through the awkward silence and everyone checked their phones to see who's it was. Conveniently, it was Jackson’s phone and the caller was Cleo. As he excused himself from the table, I couldn’t help but steal a glance at my friend, she kept her eyes firmly on the table. He didn
Chapter Thirty** Days Later **Ron and the rest of the guys were waiting for us in the carpark of the airport, Alex asked if I wanted to ride home with him or in the van, of course I wanted to ride with him. Ron told the guys that they had business to discuss when we got back to the garage.Jesus, couldn’t we have 5 minutes to relax first? Apparently not..Things had been a little awkward those last few days while we were in England. Amanda never did come back around and nor did any of my other friends. I had text them the last night but none answered. I guess that part of my life was over. It was sad because they were my friends, people I had grown up with, but if that's how it was, then fine. I was more than happy wi
*** Thank you so much to everyone who sent their well wishes and asked about my little boy. He’s home now, thank god. Little bugger, has had hospital ‘’sleepovers’’ every month since Christmas :( Thank you for your patience and understanding, I hope you enjoy the chapter (I know it's short, im sorry) and the ones to come! ***Chapter Thirty OneI pulled dinner out of the oven just as Alex walked in the front door. I smiled to myself, glad that I had timed it, literally, perfectly. He came straight into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder.‘What did you make?’‘Nothing amazing, just some homemade Spaghetti Bolognese. I told him.
Chapter Thirty Two** The Next Morning **Alexander’s Point of ViewMy phone vibrating on the bedside table woke me up. The sun was just coming up outside but it was still really early. By the time me and Harley actually went to sleep last night, it was after midnight. She wasn’t best impressed when I told her I had an early morning start to meet Ron at 6 am at the warehouse.She has this idea in her mind that he’s trying to cause drama and trouble for me and her… and the club. I can’t say I didn’t think the same, but there wasn’t much I could do about it... Just try not to let it get to me I suppose.By the time I dra
Chapter Thirty-ThreeRon’s Point of View.I left the warehouse and started riding back to the garage, Only stopping to throw the gun into the creek on the way. It wasn’t on the usual ride to or from the warehouse, so none of the others would ever find it. It was a cheap throwaway, Not part of the club or my own private stash of weapons. Absolutely nothing to point a finger at am.I told Jemma I was working late last night and that I was staying at the clubhouse so even if she wouldn't think twice about me not being there when she woke up this morning. I’d simply tell her that I overslept and missed the meeting with Alex and the DA’s. They weren’t expecting Alex, so the ‘’shot on sight’’ excuse would fly. It would caus
Chapter Thirty Four** The Next Day **I headed into the clubhouse, annoyed. Alex didn’t come home last night. I get he’s busy with Club shit, but not coming home?! Not even calling to say he wouldn’t be home?! What an asshole. I was about ready to completely rip him a new one, but his bike wasn’t outside. I guess he was still busy with Tommy...or something else.Maybe someone else?No, No of course he wouldn’t do that. I trusted him. I trusted him completely, I was just very fucking pissed off with him right now!Cleo was sitting at the bar. I knew Jackson was here and Harry, Sarah wasn’t though. Apparently, she was having a few pai
Chapter Thirty Five** No One’s Point of View **As the MC made their way to the warehouse, Ron was thinking over and over all the lies he could potentially use. He had already covered his ass by saying he cancelled the meeting and cast doubt on the Devils Angels by saying he forgot to tell them. Sure, he COULD face backlash and some blame for his involvement in that, but it would mean his Club and daughter believed the bullshit. Believed that he wasn’t the one to pull the trigger and end the life of his once best friend, Alexander Coates.Ron rode in front of the others, How it always was. As the leader, how it should be, but all of them dreaded what they could possibly walking into. It wasn’t just unusual for a member to drop off the face of the
Chapter ThirtyNine - FINAL CHAPTER I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed, using my hands to flatten out any of the imperfections on my depressing black dress. It was the funeral today. The day I had been dreading for weeks I wasn’t ready to say my goodbyes just yet. I felt like I hadn’t had long enough with him yet. A lot of people still don’t understand or know what happened. One minute he was here, alive, then the next... He was gone. Just like that. Due to it being a shooting and him dying in the hospital, Police were involved but of course, Allan made it go away so the club could deal with it all themselves. In their own way, I guess. I don’t know how he was able to make it disappear off the police radar, I didn’t as
Chapter Thirty Eight** A few Weeks Later **‘Good Morning Harley, How are you today?’ Doctor Matthews asked, coming into the room, followed behind by his students that were shadowing him on his rounds. I smiled and said I was doing fine and asked if there was any news… but of course there wasn’t.I had gotten to know the doctors and nurses here quite well over the past few weeks. I rarely left Alex’s room, to the point they had actually provided me with a bed to sleep in now. It wasn’t comfortable... But it was more comfortable than the chair and meant I didn’t need to go home at night anymore.I only left when I absolutely needed to, for new clothes or food.
Chapter ThirtySeven Luckily, The chair next to Alex’s bed was big and comfy enough that I could curl up in a ball and sit for hours… which I had been doing. I stayed with him the whole time, One by one, the other guys came in to see him, but I stayed put. I was scared that if I left him, he’d...well, he’d leave me.. Forever, and I wasn’t going to let that happen. As far as I knew, everyone had gone home. It was very late but luckily, when they realised I wasn’t leaving, the nursing staff brought me a blanket and allowed me to stay with him. I mean, what was the harm? The beeping of his machines, keeping him alive, were a horrific constant reminder of where we were and what was going on. I looked out the window, I couldn’t see anything. It was pitch black and most of the outside
Chapter Thirty SixWe arrived at the Hospital and I climbed off the bike, Yelling hysterically that we needed to go and find him... Now! Harry managed to calm me down long enough to tell me he was going to call the guys and find out where they were and what was going on, but when he tried, none of them were answering their phones. I was getting impatient.‘If they brought him in in an ambulance, we would probably be in the emergency room… or at the very least, they will know where he is, right?’‘Yeah, I guess, but-’‘Well then let’s go!’. I shouted, grabbing Harry’s hand and pulling him towards the hospital entrance. He stopped and pulled me back.
