Chapter 12
Hendrix POV
This kid is pissing me off, talking about boyfriends and been cheated on. All of which I missed out on cause I can assure you if she was with us there would of been no boyfriend so there would of been cheating on her. Am I jealous he was there for her and by the looks of it, she trusts him? Absolutely. But it's now time for her to be with her real family.
"Harlow you don't have a choice, you come with us willingly or you won't see your boyfriend here ever again" I say. "What? You can't do that" she says. "If you come with us your boyfriend here can visit you every weekend and on the holidays. If you don't I will make sure you don't see him again" I reply. "I'm 16, you have no say anymore. I can leave whenever I want" she sasses. "You think I won't have the club on your arse tracking you little girl? You have another thing coming" I say firmly. "You have a choice Harlow, the easy way where you still get your boyfriend in your life or the hard way and you never see him again" I tell her.
Harlow stands up "I hate you Hendrix, I hate all of you" she screams before heading upstairs. I go to follow her but Sue stands in the way. I just glare at her. "You have done enough. You think this is the way to get her to trust you again? You have just lost that girl for good with the stunt you pulled. I will go check on her. You all stay here or get out of my house" she fumes. Ok this woman can be a little scary when she wants to be but I'm not going to be backing down. Harlow will be coming home whether she likes it or not.
Harlow's POV
I hate them, I hate them so fucken much. How could they do this to me? I am currently pacing Toby's room thinking of how I can get out of here without them noticing. I stuck my phone on charge for now so I can text Toby to let him know I'm safe when I get to where ever I'm going to run to. Why the hell did they have to come back now? Why didn't they stay gone? I have stopped wiping the tears that are flowing down my face. They are taking away my only safe place which is with Toby and his family from me and I will never ever forgive them for that. They dumped me here without so much as a second thought until now and they expect me to just jump because they want me home now? It ain't happening.
A light tap on the door pulled me out of my thoughts and I swung around to see Sue walking into the room. She opened her arms for me and I ran straight into them and sobbed. How could they pull me away from this? These people are my family now. They have seen me at my worse and been there to pick me up. "Oh Harl's, stop those tears. You are too pretty to have puffy red eyes" Sue said. "They are taking me away Sue, I don't want to go back. I want to stay here near you guys. You are my family now" I sobbed out.
"Oh sweetheart. We aren't letting them take you. We will be following you in a few weeks. Steve has been offered a job close to where you will be moving but hasn't accepted because we weren't leaving my future daughter in law behind. Now you are going we are going to take it. We will be moving in about 6 weeks. So dry those tears, those 6 weeks I will personally make sure Toby is there every weekend with you or I'll come pick you up and bring you here myself" Sue told me.
"They want to leave now though. How am I going to say goodbye to my friends?" I finally asked Sue when I calmed myself down. "I have your back. Us girls got to stick together. I will go downstairs and cause a distraction. Then I'll send Toby out to the car while you sneak out the window and you both can head to say goodbye to your mates. As long as you promise you will be back by dinner tonight at 7.30pm. I made your favourite for your birthday. Deal?" Sue asks. I nod my head after looking at the clock which is on the bedside table. It was 3pm so we have 4 hours for me to say bye to Zara, Jezz and Callum.
Sue pulled me into another hug and said "ready?" "Yep" I replied. "Good let's get this done" Sue said before heading out the door. I waited till I couldn't hear her on the stairs before I snuck out the window and climbed down the tree. I waited at the side of the house till I saw the car open so I could get in and we could get out of there. 10 minutes later Toby walked out and unlocked the car. I quickly ran to the back and jumped in. Toby swung round and I hid behind his chair "drive Toby" I said. Toby reversed out of his drive way and start to drive away.
I climbed over the seat and plopped down in the passenger seat buckling up while smiling at a confused looking Toby. "So your mum helped me sneak out to go say goodbye to our mates and she told me you guys will be moving closer in 6 weeks" I told Toby. "What? I thought I had to get tampons or some shit" he replied. I just laughed before saying "she said she would create a distraction so I could say goodbye to Zara, Jezz and Cal. We have to be back by dinner at 7.30" I told him. "Ok and what do you mean we are moving too?" He asked.
I explained to Toby what his mum had said. We pulled up to Callum's house and he pulled me into a hug. "Im glad we will still be together Harl's" he said. "Me too Tobs, I can't live without you. But I will give them fucken hell for the 6 weeks we are apart, they won't know what fucken hit them" I replied smirking. "By the time you move, I wouldn't be surprise if they kicked me out" I laugh out before we headed into Callum's house to say goodbye to my friends.
