“I’m sorry,” I said, holding my hands up, “I’m looking for someone.” I said trying to avoid him at all costs, but the crowd seemed to grow thicker, blocking my exit.
“Well get back over here and I’ll help you.” He licked his lips and looked at my tits as he talked, and I shuddered.
Fuck finding Maddie or Blaine.
Fuck them both, they weren’t worth this.
“I’m going to just go.” I grimaced, “Sorry for bothering your-,” I looked around, “party.”
Rough hands from behind shoved me forward towards the bald man and I bounced off his chest as his arms wrapped around me tight, “Party’s just getting started sweet tits.” He said and then kissed me with his foul-smelling mouth as he pawed my ass and groped me. I shoved against him with all my might but couldn’t get away from him. I clenched my teeth and lips closed so hard to keep him from putting his tongue in my mouth despite his best efforts, but the smell of him still assaulted my senses like I could actually taste him.
“Get off me!” I screamed when he finally released me enough to take a breath. I flailed in his arms, desperate to get away and get the fuck back to my car.
“Let her go!” A deep voice roared over the jeer and the laughs before the big man’s body was thrown across the room. I stumbled into my freedom and fell to my ass as a giant stepped in front of me, facing off against the crowd. “Nobody fucking touches her! Understood?”
I looked up and recognized the tattoos on the right hand, fisted at his side above my head.
“Fox.” I breathed on a whimper.
“I don’t see a cut on her, boy!” A man said threateningly, “She’s fair game, you know the rules.”
“She doesn’t need a cut.” Fox growled, widening his stance. “She belongs to me. And nobody fucking touches what’s mine.”
I watched in horror, afraid of what was going to happen, but the men just grumbled about hot heads and young kids before dispersing.
Fox turned and glared down at me with angry eyes, and I recoiled away from him, scooting back on my hands and ass in fear. He squatted down in front of me and held his hands up, “Get the fuck out of here, Delilah, right now.”
My face burned with embarrassment from his scolding and anger burned in my chest from the entire situation. I was burnt out on life and tonight was the cherry on top of my mental health decline. He grabbed onto my upper arms and lifted me up as I swatted at him to get his hands off me, “Don’t touch me.” I turned and started shoving my way through the crowd.
Being polite didn’t do me any favors before, maybe if I acted like the raging bitch I wanted to be, they’d get the fuck out of my way.
Grumbles and curses followed me as I made it to the door and slammed my way through it. I stomped across the parking lot and heard Fox’s heavy boots follow me to my car, which just angered me even more.
“I’m leaving, don’t worry!” I snapped at him as I got to my car, “Go back on inside to that…” I threw my hands up in disbelief, “fun timeyou and Blaine insist on having every night.” He had his hands on his hips as he silently watched me throw my fit. “Like there’s no such thing as responsibilities or expectation hanging over you both. Meanwhile, I’m trying to keep our heads all afloat by keeping Maddie in school and out of trouble that she has no business getting into while taking care of all the household things like paying the bills and making sure there’s food in the cupboards to feed her with, out of the piddly money left from Mom’s life insurance.” I rambled, “Oh yeah, and on top of all of that, I’m trying to finish school so I can go work my fucking life away in the same hospital that killed my mom so I can provide the same dismal life she did.” I threw my hands up in the air again, “But maybe I should just give up and run drugs and steal shit like you all do because I failed my exam today thanks to JJ and his dip shits next door throwing rocks at the house all last night because Blaine, once again, wasn’t home to run them off!” I turned and kicked my car tire over and over as the frustration burned into an inferno. “But the one time I actually need to find my long-lost brother and get help from him-.” I paused and turned back on Fox, “The one time I actually try to ask for help, I get assaulted inside the place he loves more than us anymore!” I cried. “So don’t you worry, I’ll take my pathetic self home now so you don’t have to be embarrassed to be around me in public. Sorry to interrupt your evening!” I screamed.
I fumbled with my car keys and then threw my door open and got in my car, slamming it behind me. But when I went to start my car, I realized that in the short time I was inside, a dozen more bikers showed up and parked right in front of me.
Blocking me in.
I slammed my fists down on my steering wheel and screamed into the worn leather before laying my head down against it in defeat.
My blood was pumping through my body so fast I felt like I was going to have a heart attack as all my fears and stress bubbled over. I tried to calm my erratic heart rate, except it wasn’t listening to reason as my car door opened and Fox knelt down next to me. Tears poured out of my eyes and dropped onto the top of my thighs, but I refused to look up.
He reached forward and swept my hair back out of my face and looked at me. “Talk to me.” He said quietly with gentleness I remembered from the night he slept in my room. I hadn’t seen him since he woke up that next morning and left. I’d pretended to be asleep when he got up, and on his way out he stopped next to my bed, brushed my hair over my ear and looked at me for a while before walking out.
That was weeks ago and I hated to admit that his absence since then felt personal. He was always around before that; coming and going with Blaine at all hours. After that night, he stayed away.
Still here he was, pushing my hair back over my ear again with that softness that belied the dominating strength lying in his hands.
Strength I’d seen tonight when he shoved that man off me and when he prepared to fight them all to keep me safe.
Before he said I was his.
I knew better than to let his words affect me. Because I belonged to no one. Other than my relationship with Blaine and Maddie, I was utterly alone in the world. And even they started to abandon me for better things.
“Delilah,” He tried again, reaching forward to wipe away a tear that ran down my cheek. “Why are you here?”
“It doesn’t matter.” I whispered and took a deep breath. “Blaine isn’t here is he?”
