“Let me out. Help!” I screamed.
“Yeah, I’m here. She’s freaking out… Okay, I’ll take her there now.” He dropped his phone and with careful hands, held me down. “Your man has been looking for you. We will take you to the biker compound. Okay?”
I nodded and slightly relaxed but only because I could hear the truth in his voice. I didn’t even try to correct him that I didn’t have a man.
Theyhadbeen looking for me?
Maybe I wasn’t as alone as I thought.
Still, I couldn’t forget everything I had been through. Everything that had been said.
I almost dreaded seeing them. Not only was I just a complete mess, even more than I had ever been, but I was going to have to tell them everything that had happened to me and all the things that man had said. I had to warn them about the danger that someone was after the club.
I was living in a nightmare. I didn’t think I would get out of it anytime soon. Even if I was away from that man, he was still there in the back of my mind. It wasn’t like I could rid myself of the things I went through no matter how much I wished I could.
My head was dizzy and I wanted nothing more than to close my eyes and go to sleep. I feared that he had slammed my head too hard and that I might have a concussion. I knew the smart thing would have been to try my best to keep myself awake.
No, the smart thing would have been to have these people drive me to the hospital.
I looked up and noticed that there was a woman driving. Her dark hair was wild. As her eyes glanced up in the rearview mirror, I could see the pity and concern for me there. I ducked my head because I couldn’t take it another second longer.
Then I cried.
I wasn’t strong.
I was fragile and broken.
No matter how I tried to stand up on my own I was still that pathetic rich girl. The one that couldn’t do anything for herself. The one that gave up without any kind of fight. That was exactly what I had done back in that room. With a crazy man sitting on top of me, I had silently said my goodbyes.
Maybe that was the thing that hurt me the most. To know that I would never be anything more than what my parents had made me into.
I wasn’t cut out for this world but it was too late to go back even if I wanted to.
As we drove down the bumpy, dirt road that led to the club’s building, I closed my eyes. I wasn’t ready to face any of them but now I didn’t have a choice.
I made a silent plan to stay just long enough to tell them what I needed to. Then I would find my way to the hospital and walk away from it all.
