Chapter Twenty-One

Axel

My head was all over the place. I was angry with Savannah for keeping secrets from me, and angry at myself for getting so attached to her so quickly. And angry at Duke for wanting to take her away from me. I didn’t even go to work that day. I dropped Savannah off at Pop’s, and then I called Spike and asked him to look after the shop for me. I knew I wouldn’t be able to concentrate at work. Instead, I stayed home and tried to do my research on Duke. I found a lot of things on the club, but very little on him. Afterwards, I sat in the living room and watched movies to keep myself from thinking too much. I went to Pop’s later that evening with full intentions to shout at Savannah, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. She had made a delicious meal for the family, and Bobby was so happy to see me. I barely spoke to her, but I didn’t shout at her either.

I barely slept that night and woke up in the morning feeling exhausted. It was clear that I hadn’t slept well by the look on Spike’s face when he saw me walk in.

“You okay, man? You don’t look good.”

I sighed. I didn’t need a mirror to tell me that I was a complete mess that day. “Not really. This whole thing is such a huge fuck up. I feel horrible about it all. Just horrible.”

“Any more news from that Duke guy?”

“Nothing. How about you? He hasn’t come back to the shop, has he?”

“No. Don’t worry; you’ll be the first person to know if he does. I’m sure he won’t come back here. How is Savannah?”

I shrugged. “She’s staying with Pop until I figure out what to do. Which, right now, is nothing. I have no idea what to do about this whole situation. I hate not having a plan. Anyway, for now, I figured it was better that she stayed with him.”

“Oh yeah? Think she’s safer there?”

“I honestly have no idea. Probably not. I don’t even know if Duke is going to come after her. But I just didn’t want to be around her. I’m so angry at her for not telling me about all of this. I mean, she’s put everyone’s lives in danger. I don’t care about myself, but I care about Bobby. He shouldn’t have to deal with this. He’s only six years old. What six-year-old should have to have that in their lives? It’s not fair. There’s no way he can understand it all. Hell, even I don’t understand it all. Whatever Duke has against our club is strong, and it’s something that I will never understand.”

“The club? Who is Duke anyway? Why is she involved with him?”

“He’s part of XMC, and definitely not a good person. Looks like he runs the place. That’s the club Savannah’s father was a part of. He passed away, so I’m assuming this Duke guy has taken over.
