The Heaven Hill Series Chapter 272
Drew had never been so scared in his life as he raced across town towards Charity's office. He thought about calling her, but then he was afraid she would leave on her own. Right now, he knew at least where she was, and there was help around the corner at the sheriff's office if she needed it.Racing down Louisville Road and blowing through a red light, he thought about all the things that could happen to her if he didn't make it there in time. He worried about what kind of man Dixon was and the things that he'd done to the people he'd supposedly cared about. Dixon didn't give a shit about Charity; she was expendable.Horns honked and people yelled at him as he sped through the streets, but he didn't care; he had one goal, and that was to get to her, get her out of her office, and make sure she came home with him. As he turned onto the quiet town square, he breathed a sigh of relief as he saw her car parked out in front of her building. Parking the bike, he took his helmet off and

Drew trusted that Remy knew these streets like the back of his hand. Having grown up inside the city and having worked at his sister-in-law's shop on the square, Drew knew Remy had more experience than the rest of them.He dared not look behind them or to the side to see who might be giving chase or taking a shot. As soon as he'd seen Charity's back window explode, he'd known they had to move, and they had to move fast.In a burst of speed, Remy took them around cars that were stopped at a light, and suddenly they were back on Louisville Road. This Drew could deal with. He knew how to get them to safety from here.* * *Charity gripped her steering wheel with knuckles that had turned white as she followed the path Remy cut through traffic for her. Not ever having been one who pushed the boundaries of speed, this made her nervous. She wasn't on the back of Drew's bike, and she could hear the wind rushing through her broken window.That was something else she didn't want to thi

"Was it Dixon?" Tyler asked as he sat down next to Liam. The two of them were sitting on the back deck at the clubhouse, trying to decompress. They'd heard the news secondhand, and neither one of them had been in any kind of position to help."Yeah." Liam took a drag off his cigarette, stretching his legs out in front of him. He grimaced when his knee popped. He tried to keep in shape, but after years of riding his bike and the physical altercations he'd been in with the club, time had started to take its toll. "Remy saw it all go down. He was leaving Harper's shop. Dixon's brother was across the street. Pretty ballsy if you ask me. It sent a clear message. One we can't ignore.""No, we can't ignore it. He did it knowing Drew was there, knowing that backup could have been around the corner. He's going to keep poking Drew until he can't poke anymore. That boy will explode at some point, and it's not going to be pretty." Tyler grabbed a cigarette out of his own pack and lit it. "Did

Drew didn't understand. Of course, she knew him. She'd seen the pictures of him on his rap sheet and she, at some point, had to have been given a picture of him so she'd know who to watch out for. "I know.""No," she sighed. "You don't. This is something very few people know." She couldn't be this close to him when she told him the sins of her mother, which she hoped didn't turn into the sins of her youth. Needing desperately to have space to herself and get her head together, she got disentangled herself from his arms and got out of the bed. Pacing helped her, it was what she did in a court room when she was trying to get her opening and closing arguments prepared in her head before speaking them."Then explain to me." Drew sat up in the bed but didn't try to move. He looked at her as if he were afraid she'd run.Don't let me run from you. Those were the words she'd just spoken to him, and she wanted desperately to flee."No," Drew commanded. "I can see it in your eyes. You st

"Part of it was you," she admitted. "There still is a huge part of me that wishes to God I hadn't left here when I did. I wonder where we would be. Would we be celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary? Would we have kids? What would you be doing? What would I be doing? I wonder that all the time.""I do too." Drew grabbed her hands and pulled her down to his level. "Back then I thought of it every day. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't see something in another couple that I had envisioned us doing. For the first few years, it killed me. Finally, I got to where I could function, but it never felt right.""It didn't," Charity agreed. "But I had to get away, not only for myself, but for you too. After biting Dixon, he came back, but this time he came when my mom wasn't there."She felt sick telling Drew the things that had happened, and she knew now, like she knew then, that she shouldn't be ashamed. She wasn't, but it was still hard to tell anyone what had happened tho

"You know none of that is ever going to change the way I feel about you, right?"He pulled her chin up with his fingers, forcing her eyes to meet his."I should know that, and part of me does, but there's another part of me that wonders what in the hell you let me keep coming back for. I mean, how many times do I have to leave you, how many times do I have to retreat into myself before you tell me that you're done? I keep waiting for it," she admitted."There aren't enough times, Char. You've been mine since the day we met. I knew you would be mine, no matter what."She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a kiss. "Show me," she begged.He flipped them so that he lay on top of her, his arms circling her head, fingers digging into her hair. He wanted to surround her; he wanted her to feel him in every part of her. Inside her body, breathe in his scent; he wanted to be inside her pores. To be a part of her that she carried with her everywhere she went so that she

"We need to stop trying to get as much evidence together as we can. We need to make a move. Dragging this out is doing nothing but taunting him and making us crazy."Charity heard what Meredith was saying the next day as they sat at the common table having breakfast. "If we file the injunction to have a restraining order, he's going to know Maggie talked, and he's going to come for her. We'll have to ask for Witness Protection." She glanced over at Rooster. "Is that something you can help us with? If we pull the trigger on this, we have to be able to protect her. I won't let her be unprotected."Rooster nodded. "I still have a few friends I could pull some strings with. I'd be almost willing to bet that as short-handed as the sheriff's office is they would appreciate our help. It might be the perfect day to file that motion. You may get a sympathetic judge."Charity hoped so. "I'll do the paperwork today and send it with you, Meredith. I have to go downtown to file motions. If Ma

Halfway through the day, Mandy arrived, along with Jasmine."Char, look alive. You're mom's here.""Shit," she hissed, wishing to God this wasn't going to happen here, but she knew she'd avoided her long enough. There was only so long she could put off the meeting with her mom. It wasn't a reunion like it had been with Drew and Mandy. This was a meeting, plain and simple.They talked every week, and her mom had known she was coming home, but neither one of them made promises about how they would handle it once she was here."It's so good to see you," Jasmine said as she made her way into the office like she owned the place. She walked quickly over to where Charity sat and wrapped her up in a huge hug."It's good to see you too, Mom." She hugged her back, tightly. It was good to see her, but there was so much baggage that came with her and their relationship. "What are you doing here?"Never one able to tell when she wasn't wanted, Jasmine went about everything like she coul
