Chapter Twenty-One

Autumn

Moments shape you. The moment I was told my father wouldn’t come home. The moment I was told my mother had died in that accident. The moment Cage told me to leave the lifestyle behind. The moment Hawk hit me and I left the club life behind. And then this framing moment.

As I sit in a hospital bed, staring at the cup of tea in my hands. My eyes drop to the bruises around my wrists, running up my arms. I was in a hospital gown. I couldn't even pull the sleeves up without seeing the visible marks.

Looking up I catch my reflection in the mirror. Swollen and cut lip, bruised jaw line. Yeah, I looked a mess.

The hospital’s room door opened, and I looked up ready to tell the nurses I was fine. They said if I didn’t get fluids in, they would put me on a drip. Hence the cup of tea.

But it wasn’t a nurse whose eyes were locked with mine. It was Hawk’s. Immediately tears of embarrassment and shame flooded me. He had to have known. My lip started to shake as he closed the door and walked to my bedside.

What do I say?

The police had questioned me. Over and over. I told them nothing. They didn’t understand till I told the staff to call my father. Then when they knew I was connected with the club, the police disappeared.

Hawk pulled up a plastic chair, and his hand went over the one of mine that was laying on the bed. Clenching on to my hand I looked back up unto his eyes. What I saw almost broke me more. He had tears in his own eyes. I recalled the last time I saw Hawk cry. At my mother’s funeral.

“I’ll make this fucking right Autumn. I promise you that.” He said, and leaned in kissing my forehead. And just like that I fucking broke into tears. He got up, wrapping his arms around me. My hand leaving the cup of tea on the small meal tray and the tears just fell.

I heard him mutter in my hair that the man that this to me was a dead man, he’d make sure of it.
