I shout as she quickly rushes to the opposite side of my fucking house, considering I live one door fucking over from Ink's next to Dagger.

I quickly run after her as her footsteps quicken before I wrap my arm around her waist, but before I can tighten, she quickly shoves me away, her eyes showing nothing but hate, and I have to swallow hard for how dry my throat goes. I really fucked up over the years. I mean, I knew she had feelings for me and I, her but she was with a brother, and she cheated on him. She knew we could never be an item, but saying that the day after we slept together, pieces of our night are coming back to me fully now that I know it wasn't a fucking dream.

I fucked Cara, and it explains her silent treatment since.

I lift my hands up in an innocent gesture and say, "My place is this way, Angel."

I say it calmly because maybe she was still drunk the next morning and doesn't remember.

I suddenly feel sick when the realization hits. Fuck, did I take advantage of her?

She sneers at me, fucking sneers for the first time, making my eyes widen in shock. "I'd rather burn than stay at yours; go back to your girlfriend, Gunner I'm going to Docs."

I bite back a growl as she turns and walks away from me before muttering 'fuck it' and running after her. I bend down, place my arms around her pelvis, and pick her up, making her gasp before she starts to try and hit me. "GUNNER, PUT ME DOWN RIGHT FUCKING NOW!"

I ignore her and walk to mine while a few brothers come out of their homes to see what the fuss is about. Ink quickly opens one of his windows. He, Dagger, and Axel all pop their heads out, and I wave at them as Lee screeches about how she's going to rip my balls off. The brothers all smirk and snicker while I whistle, ignoring them all with my middle finger in the air, which I soon fucking drop when Leah decides she'd like to be a fucking piranha and bites my fucking finger, making me curse while the brothers laugh their asses off.

Dickheads, the lot of them.

I open my white door, slamming it shut behind us before I take her upstairs, intending to take her to my room but veering off when her cold voice echoes through my two-story Victorian home.

"YOU TAKE ME TO YOUR ROOM, AND I SWEAR I'LL BURN YOUR FUCKING HOUSE DOWN."

Her threat is real; I can feel it, so I deposit her on the guest bed that my mom decorated. The three walls are creamy white, while the back wall, where the queen-sized bed with dark gray bedding and a throw is light gray.

Leah sits up and narrows her eyes at me, but I just raise a brow when my phone goes off.

Axel – Emergency Church, 4 a.m.

Sighing, I look at the beauty who stole my heart years ago. She looks fucking tired. I walk over to her and cup her cheek, but she smacks my hand away, and I sigh again.

"Get some sleep, Angel."

I turn and leave, and fuck am I going to hell for this, but I lock the fucking door so she can't leave; she needs rest, and being here is for the best for not just her and everyone else but for Sophie. I'm starting to think Leah's got more drama in her than she's previously shown; Razor did warn us. I hear the door handle wiggle, and I wince when she screeches and something smashes against the door.

Shit.

Scrubbing a hand down my face, I head to my room before taking a quick shower, then hopping into bed in just my black boxers.

My phone goes off, and I check it quickly before blowing out a breath at the name that’s popped up.

Cara – Baby, where are you? I'm sorry; I just didn't want to lose you. XX

Shaking my head, I put my phone down on the charging mat. It makes sense why I felt like I was cheating these past four months more than normal anyway because I'd had Leah, and I blocked it out to make it okay to keep going back to Cara. Don't get me wrong, I don't have feelings for her; she's a means to an end, but I do care about her welfare.

I knew she was in love with me, so I needed to tread carefully because until Lee and I can sort this shit out, hash everything out, and be friends again, I can't fuck anyone else, and I certainly can't fucking go back to Cara after she tried to fucking trap me. Shit, I fucked her this morning because I couldn't handle having Leah in my bed. I shake my head. I knowLeah and I cannot be together because of Razor and our by-laws in the club, so we need to sort this out. We both need to move on, which means I need to stop getting in the way when a guy asks her out, no matter how hard it'll be.

The next morning, we're all rushing out of church after two of our prospects informed us that Sophie was on the Hudson Bridge instead of in bed, where Ink left her. We all race to her, only to find her hanging off the edge before fucking Ink joins her, making us all hold our fucking breaths. It takes both Ink and Stormy, but she finally snaps out of it, crying her eyes out before she nearly falls, making all of us brothers rush to them. I grip Sophie's arm and pull her up with Axel and Stormy, while the brothers grip Ink's body and pull him over. Sophie collapses on the floor in tears before Ink takes her into his arms, and I squeeze my eyes shut for the pain she's in.

Axel looks around and says, "Alright brothers, let's get home and get some rest. I'll go with Ink and Dagger and get Dr. Shall out to see her." We all nod before each one of us kisses Sophie's head. She grips my arm before I can leave, and I furrow my brows as she rasps, "I'm sorry for the lip." I smirk at her and shrug. "You helped me open my eyes, sweetheart; now I can try and help Leah move on from me."

She furrows her brows at me, but I just kiss her head again before going to my bike and heading home. I have a woman to update. Fuck, she's going to be pissed. Just before I get on, Ink shouts my name, and I turn to him and say, "I know you need to tell Leah, but don't let her come round for a few days."

He worries at his lip ring, not knowing if it's the right plan, but I nod my head before climbing on my bike.

Leah will only stress her out and make her feel guilty.

Fuck me will I regret those words.
