CHAPTER TEN

Scarlett

Charlee dragged me out of the apartment today in the middle of applying for more jobs, only to lead me to the sweetest surprise I’ve had in a very long time. The clubhouse threw me a surprise birthday party. I don’t know if any of the guys in the club are behind it. It really seems like something Charlee and Hermoine would do. The two of them are overly kind like that, though Hermoine is a bit more reserved. I heard whispers about Hermoine’s parents being killed by her birth father, but I don’t know if that’s the truth or if it’s just a sick rumor. If it is true, it would explain why she keeps her distance. If something like that had happened to me, I would be acting the same way.

I’m in the clubhouse right now, just having texted Jessie to let her know to come on over if she’s off work. She already texted me back and said she’d be here in about an hour or so. I haven’t ever brought her around the clubhouse, so I’m excited for her to meet the only other people who actually give a damn about me.

Vivi comes running up to me, jumping up and down while handing me a pink-wrapped present. “Happy Birthday, Miss Scarlett!”

“Thank you, sweetheart. This is so nice.” I give Vivi a hug when Charlee makes her way back over to me.

“I can’t believe you put this whole thing together,” I admit, blown away by how the interior of the clubhouse is transformed.

It no longer looks like a place where all the men congregate. There’s a ‘Happy Birthday’ banner spread halfway across the room, while purple and pink balloons are spread across the entire place. There’s a table with a whole bunch of presents and an array of foods being served buffet-style. Charlee told me that Hermoine catered the party with foods from the Java Zone. There’s even a massive cake on a table by itself. I’d bet it’s big enough to feed thirty or forty people.

“Yeah, well, you’re family now, and if you ask me, you deserve to be spoiled a little bit. Things have been really stressful on you lately, and I figure this makes up for it a tad.” The news about Jarod pulling a gun on me has spread like wildfire throughout the club. There have been numerous occasions when club members have caught me pulling into the driveway and asked when they can go deal with him. If something happens to Jarod, it won’t be because I’ve told them to do it. I don’t know if I could ever deal with that guilt.

“Thank you. This is just mind-blowing.” I stare at everything in awe, and music plays in the background.

“Aren’t you going to open up your present?” Vivi impatiently asks.

“Vivianna,” Charlee chastises her daughter, but I know she’s only excited.

“It’s okay,” I tell Charlee as I peel back the paper and open up the box. When I was watching Vivi the
