Harlow

Chapter 25



Harlow's POV

I had been here for 10 days now and spoken to Toby every day begging him to come get me and take me back with him. Leo and Kody let me sleep in there rooms each night and I hadn't been into the master bedroom once. Leo and Kody had tried to help me but I physically couldn't do it at all. Hendrix and I had had a few more run ins but I tried to stay out of his way. Being in this house away from my safe person made me feel weak and I hated that. I spent most of my time either with Leo or Kody, at the park or in the backyard. I hated being in this house and the only people who understood that were Toby, Leo and Kody.

Today Hendrix had sent both Leo and Kody on a job for the club so I was on my own. I wouldn't be staying at the house though so I headed out to the local cafe to grab some food and a coffee before heading to the park. Hendrix had told me Dean was coming to dinner so he would be back early to get things ready. I honestly didn't care as long as I wasn't in that house. I spent most of the day out till about 4pm when I headed back to the house. I was bored shitless and hoped someone would be at the house so I wasn't alone there.

Hendrix's bike and the twins cars were there so I knew I could stay in the lounge room and watch tv. I headed in and went to make a beeline for the lounge room but was stopped by Hendrix "where the fuck have you been Harlow?" He spat out. "Out" I replied. "Out where Harlow?" He asked. "Out out Hendrix" I replied. I didn't owe him shit. "Don't get smart with me Harlow, where the fuck were you? The twins got home and you weren't here. You didn't let anyone know where you were. You are fucken 16. Tell me where you were" he screamed making me flinch away from him.

"I was out. Last I checked you aren't my legal guardian. I don't need to tell you shit" I replied trying to walk around him. "You need to learn some fucken respect. This is my house and you will follow my rules" he spat at me. "Sweet I'll leave then" I replied trying to get to the front door. "Clearly Anita allowed you to get away with being rude. You will respect me or I will lock you in your room. Now tell me where the fuck you were today" he yelled at me. "I told you I was out" I yelled back. Hendrix grabbed me dragging me up the stairs "let me go, fucken let me go" I screamed. Both Jax and Jett just watched on.

Hendrix dragged me to my room and I begun to panic, not in that room, I get hurt in that room. Anywhere but that room. "No no no no, let me go, please let me go" I screamed out kicking my legs trying to get him to stop. Hendrix pushed me into the room slamming the door in my face when I tried to get out. I couldn't be in here and started to panic even more. I couldn't focus on anything and was struggling to breathe. I slide down in the corner of the room trying to catch my breath but I couldn't.

Leo's POV

I just pulled up outside the house with a Kody and we both headed inside seeing all my brothers at the table. "Where's Harlow?" Kody asked. "I locked her in her room. She was out all day and wouldn't tell me where" Hendrix replied. "What? Which room?" I asked. God I hope he hasn't put her in that room she will flip. "Her room. We called her down about 20 minutes ago to get organised for dinner but she ignored us so she can stay there" Hendrix replied. "How long has she been there?" I spat. "What's it matter? she needs discipline" he replied. "You fucken idiot she hasn't been in that room since mum took her there to hurt her. How fucken long has she been up there?" I screamed. "Over two hours" Jett replied. "Fuck" I yelled running up the stairs and towards Harlow's room.

I swing the door open seeing Harlow curled up sitting in a ball on the ground vomit all over her rocking side to side. "I'll be good, I'll be good, please I'm sorry. I'll be good" she was repeating. "Fuck, Harlow? Harl's" I called to her going near her. All my brothers were at the door by this stage. "What the fuck?" Cameron said. I squatted down next to her as she wouldn't look at me.

"Harl's it's Leo" I whispered. "I'll be good I'm sorry" she replied. "Harlow we need to get you in the shower ok?" I replied. "What the fuck did you do Hendrix?" Kody asked. "All I did was put her in her room" he replied. "Shut up all of you" I said making Harlow jump. "I'll be good please I'll be good" she called out. "It's ok Harlow, I'm going to pick you up and take you to the bathroom" I gently said to her. I moved my hands to pick her up but she screamed "no please no I'll be good". Just then the front door slammed open and I heard someone running up the stairs.

"Harlow is just me, I'm not going to hurt you ok? You need to get the vomit off you. Can you stand up for me" I tried to coax her up but she was so lost in her head. "What the fuck did you do to her?" Dean screamed out making Harlow bury her head in her legs "no no no" she whispered. "Harlow no one is going to hurt you" I said to her and picked my sister up. I didn't care she was covered in vomit, she needed me. I was so fucken pissed at Hendrix. Harlow was screaming and covering her head.

I pushed passed Dean who was screaming at Hendrix and headed for my bathroom. Kody was following me and I asked him to get us both clothes. Harlow was still screaming but she wasn't fighting back. I stepped into the shower fully clothes with my sister and turned the water on. It seemed to shock her out of the state she was in because she gasped for air and began to sob "I got you Harlow, I got you" I said to her.
