Chapter 20
Hendrix's POV
"Oi" Jett called out. "What?" I replied, I was arguing with Cameron and Kody about Harlow being scared to walk into a room. "She is gone" Jett replied. I spin around and sure enough Harlow was gone. I smiled cause she got over it and walked into the room. I knocked on the door but there was no answer. I opened Harlow's bedroom door but she wasn't there. Everything was like we left it for her to come back and unpack.
"She is gone" I called out to my brothers. I raced out of the room "Harlow, fuck, Harlow where are you? This isn't funny" I screamed but there was no answer. I met the rest of my brothers in the lounge room. "Someone call her, also track her phone. We need to find her" I told them. "I can't track her phone I don't have her number" Leo told me. "Someone give him her number" I told them. I looked around at all my brothers and no one made a move to give Leo the number "no one has her number?" I asked and they all just shook there head no. "She is probably just cooling down and will be back soon. She always hated when we fought remember?" Kody said.
Two hours have passed and she hasn't come home. "She isn't back yet. She has taken off and we need to find her. Leo stay here incase she comes back, everyone else split up and look everywhere. If you find her let us know. Meet back here in 2 hours" I told my brothers before grabbing the keys to my bike and heading out. I grabbed a spare helmet from the garage just in case and put it on the back of my bike. I didn't know my sister anymore but I needed to find her. I knew this was my fault for pushing her to much with that room. She seemed so tough when she was with the Bell's but today I saw that that was just a front she uses to protect herself from being hurt again and to protect herself from us.
I was riding around the neighbourhood for close to two hours when I remembered the park we use to bring her to when things got to bad at home. I headed that way to check it out. I parked my bike and headed to the play equipment seeing a girl sitting on the swing. As I got closer I saw it was my sister so sent a quick text to my brothers letting them know I got her. I walked over to the swing and saw she had tears running down her face looking lost. I crouched down in front of her and wiped her tears. "Harl's I'm so sorry I pushed you like that. I'm sorry we were fighting I know how much you use to hate it" I quietly said to her. She wasn't looking at me and didn't even acknowledge my presence when I was wiping her tears. "Harlow please don't ignore me. Don't shut me out. I'm trying here, I really am. Let me in so I can help you" I said a little louder. "Go away" she responded. "No. I did that once and it didn't turn out well. My own sister hates me. I need you Harlow and I'm selfish cause I won't ever leave again. You are going to be stuck with me for life" I spoke honestly to her.
She stayed quiet for about 5 minutes. "I love you Harl's. It was always me and my shadow. Where I went you went. Don't punish me anymore please" I begged my sister. "I trusted you the most Hendrix. You were my big brother, you were suppose to protect me and promised me that you would always be there but you weren't. When dad found me in that room he brought me here and then took me straight to Aunt Anita's house. I never got to go home. You never even said goodbye to me. I heard nothing from you. For two years I waited for one of you to save me but none of you did. Toby helped me save myself. He was there because none of you wanted to be" Harlow said to me before trying to get off the swing.
"I'm sorry ok. I fucked up. I should of been there but dad told me I had to stay and look after the club because mum was causing issues and she was. I should of put my sister first. I should of been there for you. I picked up the phone so many times to call you but I couldn't, I couldn't because I knew it was my fault mum got to you that day. I was at the club getting laid when I should of been home looking after you" I told her."I hope she was worth it" Harlow said before getting up and trying to walk away.
I followed after her, "Harlow don't you dare walk away from me" I called out to her. "Watch me" she said while she continued to walk away. "I mean it Harlow, stop right now and finish this with me. We need to get this sorted now" I replied. All she did was flip me off.
I ran up behind her picking her up, I was going to finish this now whether she liked it or not. She could scream at me, she could hit me hell she could even throw things at me but I wasn't going to let her walk away. I had done that before and I was still suffering because of it. I missed out on so much of my sisters life and I wasn't going to miss out on more. I carried her over to my bike and sat her down. "I will strap you to this and ride until you agree to talk to me if you try to run again". I told her.
"I'm sorry Harlow and if I could go back and do things differently I would. I need you in my life. I am not asking you to forgive me, but I can't have you not talk to me anymore. You don't understand how that hurts me" I told her. Harlow went to say something just as I got a call from the club telling me I was needed back at the club house. "Harlow put the helmet on, you're coming with me to the club house" I told her while putting my helmet on and getting on the bike. Harlow slipped on the helmet and buckled it. "Hold on tight Harl's" I said before starting the bike and taking off.
