Chapter 17
Harlow's POV
The next morning I woke up still being held by Toby. I smiled, he kept his promise like he always did. He didn't let my brothers and father take me last night. I kissed his cheek and decided to get up and shower first. I sat up and saw 3 bodies on the floor in the room. "What the fuck?" I whispered.
Hendrix was laying on the floor near where I was sleeping and Jett and Jax were near the door. Hendrix woke up and opened his arms "come lay with me for a while Harl's" he said. I just rolled my eyes, like fuck I would go anywhere near him. He actually pouted when I made no move to go lay with him. This grown arse biker president pouted. "Fuck off Hendrix she wants to come lay with me" I heard Leo say. Where was he?
I looked around and spotted him by the bed on Toby's side. So four of the 6 brothers were laying in the room, what were they hoping to achieve? "Harl's come back to bed and snuggle with me" Toby said. Jax and Jett just glared at the bed where Toby was. "Nah I'm going to shower" I replied kissing Toby on the cheek and getting up to go shower.
Once I was done, I headed downstairs to see all my brothers at the dinning room setting food down. I sat next to Toby and Jax and Jett fight to try and get the seat next to me. In the end Kody slid a chair right next to me sitting down "morning Harl's" he said. "It's Harlow to you" I replied. He looked at me like he just lost his best friend but I just shrugged my shoulders and served myself some food. I noticed my father wasn't present and all my brothers were looking at me with what looked like regret.
"Harlow, we are so sorry" Hendrix started. "Save it, I don't want to hear your excuses" I stated. "Harlow just listen please?" Kody said well more like asked. I just rolled my eyes while Toby grabbed my thigh giving it a squeeze in support and warning. I turned to Toby "what?" I asked. He just nudged his head towards Hendrix so I rolled my eyes at him and he squeezed my thigh again. "Toby I will cut your dick if you leave a bruise there" I stated.
All my brothers heads snapped towards Toby glaring at him "hands where I can see them kid" Jax spat out. "Oh wouldn't you like to know where his hands have been?" I smile sweetly at my brothers. Toby just scoffs, we are best mates and have done nothing together. He is like a brother to me and I'm his sister from another mister. "Harlow" Steve warns me while Sue just laughs.
"Right, Harlow, we didn't know about dad being with mum when he sent you away. He always told us that he was working on bringing you home and just as things were getting settled something always happened stopping you from coming home. We now know he was with mum the entire time. Leo hacked your old phone and we saw the messages and the photos. I am so sorry Harl's, we should of brought you home sooner. If we knew what dad was doing, I would of brought you back to the club with me and protected you" Hendrix said.
"You hacked my phone?" I asked. I was seething, they had no right. I don't believe they didn't know, they lived with my father for fucks sake. "Harlow dad moved out after he sent you away. He said he couldn't live in the family home without his baby girl and would only move back in when you came home" Kody said. Oops I said that out loud, I tend to do that when I'm pissed off. "Yeh you said it out loud. We aren't asking you to trust us, we just want a chance to be in your life again" Leo said.
We spent the next two hours discussing things and it was decided that I had a week here to pack up my stuff with Leo and the twins staying with me before I would move back with my brothers. Two weeks after I left Toby would move down and stay with us till his parents moved down in 6 weeks. I wouldn't have to start a new school until Toby started with me.
Hendrix, Kody and Cameron were heading back today as Hendrix has club stuff to deal with. No one had heard from our father and no one really wanted to. I would be moving into the old family home seeing dad lived at the club house with Hendrix and Kody. The other boys would be moving back in the family home too. The twins had there own place but wanted to be close to me in an attempt to rebuild our relationship.
Kody and Hendrix would be staying mainly in the family home but would spend a couple nights a month in the club house. Toby would be crashing in my room for the three weeks he would be there without his parents much to my brothers disappointment. They said he would be set up in dads old room but I slept better with Toby next to me. I wouldn't be telling them that though. They then said I would sleep in with one of my brothers but I refused.
I still didn't trust them at all. They knew were I was and chose to never come visit me. Sure Leo said he would come see me, but that doesn't mean I believe him. How would I really know if he was here or not? Hendrix, Kody and Cameron said there goodbyes and took off after everything was sorting letting me know that if I wasn't home by the end of the week they would come back with the club to drag me home. Leo, Jax, Jett and I headed over to Anita's place to start packing up my stuff. There would be a moving van coming on Friday to take my stuff back to my brothers place and we would be leaving Saturday.
I started on packing up my clothes cause I had to move to the hotel with my brothers so I couldn't take off. My brothers headed to the attic to retrieve the stuff that was sent to me that I never bothered to open. The rest of my room would be packed up on Thursday. I packed enough clothes for the week and headed downstairs to say goodbye to Anita. We didn't have a close relationship but she understood me and gave me the freedom I needed. She assured me there was always a room for me here if things didn't work out back with my brothers and told me she gave my father a right serve for being a pussy whipped dickhead, her words not mine. She didn't do well with goodbyes so would not be here Thursday or Friday when I was packing up my stuff and taking it.
