Chapter 23
Leo's POV
As I pulled up at the club I could tell Harlow had been drinking. I tried to reason with her but it didn't help. Hendrix was pissed and she was talking to Dean who was the son of one the other presidents of another club in the area and would take over from his dad eventually. Dean was only 19 but he was ruthless and if he didn't like you, the club cut ties with you. When he grabbed my sister from behind I was fucken pissed but she seemed to settle down quickly. Hendrix had to hold Kody back knowing that if he started on Dean the entire club would be at risk.
When we got to the kebab place her eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store. None of us realised she hadn't eaten all day. We all stayed back from her so she didn't scream bloody murder again but when she was finished she didn't even acknowledge us. She chose to go home with Dean on the back of his bike. To say Hendrix was pissed was an understatement. I hadn't seen him this angry in years.
Once we were home Harlow flopped down face first on the couch. Hendrix spoke to Dean for a bit before he stormed inside "Harlow what the fuck do you think you were doing?" Hendrix said. "Shut up she is asleep" I said to him. "I don't give a fuck. With what she just pulled. Do you have any fucken idea what could happened because of her fucken drunk arse?" Hendrix bit back. "She doesn't know and you were the one that took her to the club dumping her there. As you said she is drunk speak to her tomorrow. We have to go back to the club" Kody said. I nodded at them and they both left.
"So Harlow want to talk about it?" I asked her. The other brothers had disappeared somewhere. Harlow didn't move or say anything so I sat down on the coffee table in front of where she was laying. "I know your awake" I said but she still ignored me. "Fine I'll carry you to your room then seeing you are sleeping" I said. "Don't fucken touch me. I'm not going in there. I'll sleep here" she spat out. "Harlow talk to me" I spoke softly to her. She always hated screaming and loud voices, mainly because that's all she would hear from our mother. "Fuck off Leo" she replied before turning her head the other way. I just wish my sister would let me in. "Harl's I'm not going anywhere. You don't want go in that room because of what mum did to you in there" I stated. "So fucken what? You want to run tell your brothers now? Go for it. I don't want to be here ok so back off" Harlow replied.
I was quiet for a minute, none of us stopped to think what it would be like coming back to the house of her nightmares. "How about I crash in your room with you?" I asked Harlow. "I am not going in that room" Harlow replied. "Ok, you can crash in my room then" I replied. "Yeh I'll pass thanks. I'd rather sleep in the car" she replied. "Ok I'll get the sleeping bags. Where you go I go" I replied. "Go away Leo" Harlow replied. "Make a decision Harlow where are we sleeping tonight" I replied. "Will you leave me alone if I agree to crash in your room?" Harlow asked. "Yep" I replied.
Harlow walked into my room and I handed her one of my shirts and some track pants. "I'm going to have a quick shower, get changed" I said before heading to the bathroom I shared with the twins. Once I was done I came back to see Harlow sitting on the edge of the bed. She looked up at me and said "I need my bag with my stuff in it" I nodded and headed into her room grabbing her bag and going back to give it to her. She took it and disappeared into the shared bathroom coming out a few minutes later.
Harlow got into my bed and was laying right on the edge with her back to the middle of the bed. I got in the other side. "Night Harl's" I said but she didn't respond. Soon I could hear that she was asleep so I moved closer to the middle and pulled her towards me. In her sleep she snuggled into my side and I drifted off holding my sister.
Hendrix's POV
What the fuck was Harlow thinking? I was furious with her. If Dean didn't like us he would pull the alliance and not only would the club suffer but so would our business. I need to head to the club and make things right with Dean. I'll deal with Harlow tomorrow when she is sober.
When I pull up to the club I see Dean speaking to Andy and my father. "Dean sorry about my sister" I say walking over to them. "Yeh. Why doesn't she trust any of you?" He asks. "Long story involving my mother. Let's get a few drinks hey?" I ask him. "Hendrix if your sister don't trust you then why the fuck should I trust you?" He asks. "It's a misunderstanding, I'll sort it and she will tell you herself she trusts me" I reply. "What are you doing here?" I say to my father. "I came to check on the club and find out how Harlow was settling in. From what I hear she only got back today and things aren't going well" he replies. I glare at Andy "hey grizzly bear don't look at me like that" Andy laughs out which in turn causes Dean to smile. My father looks on not knowing what had gone down earlier here.
We headed into the club to have a few drinks. Some of the guys were talking about Harlow which didn't sit well with me. "Oi listen up. The chick here earlier is off limits. She is my sister and you will treat her with the same respect you treat me" I yelled out. A few of the older guys who just turned up "Harlow's back pres? When is she coming around? Haven't seen that squirt in years" Donny called out. "When she is settled more she will be round" I reply. "Fuck she is gorgeous. I'd take her as my old lady" one of the newer guys of Dean's said. Dean seemed to be pissed off with that and called out "she is off limits to you all as well" before picking up his beer and skulling it. I decided to spend the night at the club to keep an eye on everyone including my father.
