Chapter 11

Autumn

Looking at the two storey brick house in front of me I recall most of my childhood here. Hawk house had been released after being seized. Only took a good two years for it to be released.

The police once again doing a number on it because of the club.

I brought my fist to the wooden door, waiting for him to answer. He was on a bender which usually meant vodka and a hell of a lot of it.

The door opened. And my eyes took in the man that was my step father.

“Hi,” I forced out, suddenly feeling nervous. The club said Hawk had disappeared from clubs eyes altogether. No one knew what was going on with him.

“Something wrong?” he looked at me for a reason for me being here.

“Yeah there is,” I said putting my hands in my jacket. “My father disappeared. I was concerned.”

He scoffed.

“Come on Hawk, let me in?”

His expression of sourness didn’t drop but he opened the door for me to walk in. I immediately took the house in that was a mess. I never remembered it like this. But then my eyes landed on the coffee table.

Everyone else would just see a coffee table.

I saw a statement of love.

Jacob and I were running in Hawk’s house. Dad was still alive at this point, I tripped hitting my head on the coffee table.

Hawk felt guilty for it.

Wasn’t his fault. Perhaps it was Jacob’s for stealing my latest toy that Hawk had given me.

Hawk still had the tabs on the corner of the coffee table. All these years later and those corner tabs were still on.

I turned to look back at him. “Is this my fault?” I looked around the house, him, everything was a wreck and I was feeling the blame.

Hawk shrugged.

God, I had treated him awful. Once again.

“God, I don’t know why you put up with me,” I muttered and went and sat on his couch. Ended up having to clean a spot for me to sit down.

“You know.” His words were dark, and my eyes snapped to him. How did he know I knew? Perhaps Jacob? “You ain't ever gonna get past it.” He was unsteady on his feet and I got up.

My hand going to his shoulders, steadying him. “How much have you had to drink?” More importantly, when was the last time he was sober?

He shrugged again.

“Hawk.” And I locked my eyes with his.

How did I say this?

“You’re stuck with me. I know I can be a pain in the ass. And I’m sorry I treated you like shit, again. But I just had to deal with it on my own.” I blew out, not finding the right words in the end. I kept my eyes locked with his. “I’m sorry.”

And those two words, seemed to have broken him.

“I killed him Autumn, my club did it. Ain’t shit for you to be sorry about,” he muttered and then looked down at the ground. “Can’t expect you to ever forgive me or the club.
