Harlow

Harlow's POV

Today was the day that Toby was arriving and I was so excited. Leo, Kody and I hadn't headed home at all much to the rest of my families dismay. They were still demanding I be returned but I wasn't going back there at all. Leo and Kody got it and spent many hours arguing with Hendrix and my father. The other three just didn't seem to care.

Kody had been to the club several times for work stuff and always came back looking pissed off. I felt bad for Leo and Kody because they were copping shit from the others where as none of them could contact me. I didn't know how long we could spend in a hotel because of the cost but I felt free here. At the house I was the little 10 year old abused girl who was scared of her own shadow.

Apparently we all had to be at the club this afternoon including me. Toby was going to come with us and he would get me out of there if need be. Then tomorrow Toby and I were going to hang out and do some of the things Toby told me he wanted to do before we went to tour the school on Monday. I was just happy my person was going to be close. I was a different person without Toby and I didn't like that person. Toby helped me see how strong I was. I wasn't looking forward to this get together at all. None of the others got that putting me in that house was a problem. They also didn't get that I wasn't the same girl they knew who did any thing to please them all.

Toby text me telling me he was in the lobby and I took off out of the room with Leo following me. I didn't even wait for the lift, I took off down the stairs bursting out in the lobby and running straight into Toby's arm. "Missed you too Harl's" Toby laughed out. I didn't notice anyone else in the lobby until I was pulled away from Toby by someone. I reacted hitting whoever grabbed me away without looking only to see that it was Hendrix pulling me away from Toby with Dean and a few other people looking on. "Who the fuck is he?" Dean asked while Hendrix was holding his nose. I just shrugged my shoulders going back over to Toby before he screamed "run" taking my hand and pulling me along with him as we ran.

Both Toby and I got into his car with Leo jumping in after me and the others trailing behind. I looked to Toby who hit the central locking on the car and started the car before we took off. "Fuck" Leo called out before we all burst out laughing. "So I guess they found us then" I laughed out. "Ahh I think so and I think you are in deep shit hitting Hendrix like that" Leo laughed out. I just shrugged my shoulders "he shouldn't of been touching me or pulling me away from Tobs" I replied. "Harl's has a mean right hook" Toby laughed. "I think I like you better this way" Leo said. After a few minutes Leo pulled out his phone calling Kody to let him know what was going on. He told us we would have to head to the club as soon as he was free to sort this because apparently Hendrix was fuming even more so now.

We drove around for a bit grabbing some lunch before Leo got a call from Kody telling him we had to head to the club. I didn't want to do this, if I could I would of driven off with Toby and not looked back. "You got this Harl's, I'll be right with you" Toby said squeezing my hand. I just nodded my head. "We will both be with you and so will Kody. Nothing is going to happen Harlow and if it does I know you can throw a mean right hook" Leo said trying to lighten the mood. It does a little, causing me to smile. A few minutes later we were pulled up in the car park of the club with Kody and the others waiting outside for us. "Ready?" Toby asked, I shook my head no. "But we have to get this over with sooner or later. Might as well be now" I replied.

We all got out of the car and Toby came to my side grabbing my hand. I smiled up at him and he just winked at me. Leo stood on the other side of me and we faced off with my brothers expect for Hendrix who didn't seem to be there. Kody walked over to us "you ok?" He asked to which I just nodded my head. "Dad and Hendrix are inside. I'm impressed with the damage you did. Remind me not to piss you off" Kody said causing me to laugh.

We all headed inside and there was my father and Hendrix along with Dean and a few of the older guys I had known before being sent away. Hendrix had two black eyes and a swollen nose. I had done some damage to his nose and I internally smirked. My father stood up coming towards me "Harlow you need to apologise to your brother" he told me. "Why? he grabbed me and I had no idea who he was" I replied. Toby, Leo and Kody smiled at that. "Maybe if he learnt to keep his hands to himself I wouldn't have to protect myself like that. So far I have been here less than two weeks and he feels the need to grab me and pulled me around. I know how to stick up for myself now and I have no intention of ever backing down" I continued.

Dean was watching on and glaring at Toby and my joined hands. I didn't understand why the hell he was here at all. This honestly had nothing to do with him. It didn't have anything to do with the other guys here either but there was about 6 others guys including Andy here watching on like it was a spectator sport. "Harlow" my father said in warning. "What? You want to have a go too? Or how about telling me your going to send me away again? What cat got your tongue? Not sure how to deal with your supposed daughter when she finally sticks up for herself because you all were to weak to do it yourselves? Want mum to do the dirty work for you?" I sassed back. I had confidence now because I knew Toby had my back always.

"Wow little Harlow has balls" Andy said after a few minutes of silence. "Balls are weak Andy look at you all, I have a vagina, I'm not weak" I replied. One of the guys who was watching on sipping his beer spat his beer out choking on it and almost falling off the stool he was sitting on. "Harlow" Hendrix screamed at me while Toby was laughing next to me "this is the Harlow I know and love. Fuck I missed you" he replied while Leo and Kody were trying not to laugh next to me. "What? Did you not know boys have penises girls have vaginas?" I asked Hendrix trying to be innocent.

"Harlow take a seat" my father said. "I'm fine right here, get on with it I don't have all day. And as for the rest of you, this ain't tennis so fuck off" I called out. None of them seemed to get the memo "OUT NOW" I screamed making them all move except for Dean who was still glaring at Toby and my hand. "That includes you Pretty eyes" I said to him causing all my brothers and Dean to look at me shocked.
