Harper

It was hard leaving Jax behind. So hard I had to run two red lights on my way to get my stuff and leave this city, because I didn’t want to stop. If I had, I’d probably go back to get him.

The song that’s been sounding in my mind all afternoon, the first new song I’ve come up with in months, just stopped playing as soon as I left him in that parking lot and it’s not coming back.

But we’ll never break out of our pattern if we just keep repeating it.

And we’ll never break the pattern because he never fights for us. Even tonight he just stood there and let me drive away.

I kept repeating all that in my head and somehow managed to keep driving away.

The last thing I needed was Grizzly and his long-winded explanation about how he’s there to keep me safe from Jax who is plotting to hurt me.

As if.

Jax would never bring actual harm to me, not in a million years. I tried to explain that to him, but Grizzly’s my father’s man through and through and he’ll never doubt Scar’s word on anything. Or do anything other than follow his orders and his wishes.

Well, fine. I’m on the road to my next tour stop and he can follow behind me all night, because I don’t plan to stop.

My father’s calls just keep coming, with no pause in between now, which on its own means I should pick up. I don’t want to, but I do it anyway.

“Harper, I think it’s better you come home now,” he says and his suggestion literally blocks my ability to take a breath.

“Umm, no,” I manage to sputter, but that’s all I can say.

He clears his throat into the silence that follows. “Honey, I know how much this tour means to you. But there’s a… we believe that…“

“Just say it, Dad,” I snap.

“Men are after you and Jax is helping them,” he says. “I’m on my way to get you and bring you home.”

“I’m sorry,” he adds when I don’t say anything. “But if you or Hunter had bothered to tell us what happened when you visited Jax in prison this wouldn’t be such a problem.”

I’m riding down a very dark stretch of road and haven’t passed a light, let alone a house in miles. But that’s nothing compared to the darkness that’s filling me. I can’t go back home. I only just managed to leave.

“Dad, no,” I say. “I’m not coming home. I’ll accept the bodyguards you sent, but just to make you feel better. I’m in no danger from Jax. He loves me and I love him.”

It’s hard saying these words, because they roll so easily off my tongue and sound so true, yet I left him behind.

“I know you think that, I know he’s your first love and how that is, but… and I’m sorry I have to be the one to tell you this—” He stops talking abruptly, which is no surprise since he always gets weird when talking about feelings, but he interrupted me.
