Chapter 26
Hendrix's POV
When Leo took off up the stairs I didn't get what his problem was until it clicked, he had said the last time she had been in that room was when mum hurt her. Why did I not know she hadn't been in her room before? I took off after him and I was beyond angry with myself with what I saw. My baby sister was curled into herself on the ground covered in her own vomit because of me. I was frozen, I didn't know what to do or how to help. Leo was trying to help her but it was like she wasn't there. When he went to pick her up she screamed so he stopped and begun talking to her again trying to get her to calm down.
Dean came barging in screaming at me which made Harlow worse. She was now in Leo's arms and covering her head. "Fucken shut up" I screamed out. "What the fuck did you do to her?" Dean said pushing me. "You all need to fucken shut up. You all know she can't handle yelling after what mum did. Take it outside if you can't keep your voice down" Kody said before going back into Harlow's room to grab something. "Someone better clean this up and seeing you all knew where Harlow was one of you can do it" Kody said pointing to the twins. They just nodded there heads. "Tell me what the fuck you did to her?" Dean fumed out. "Let's go downstairs" I replied heading downstairs.
I flopped down at the kitchen table burying my head in my hands "fuck, fuck" I screamed out. How could I be so fucken stupid? I should of known when she was fighting me that something was wrong. She begged me and even said please to not go into that room. Why the fuck didn't I go check on her? I thought she was just throwing a tantrum, I didn't realise she would panic like that.
When she was little she use to have panic attacks like that when mum would lock her in the basement. I did the fucken same thing by putting her in that room. "So tell me what the fuck you did to your sister Hendrix cause I'm about to walk and so is the club" Dean spat out. "Right, my mum never wanted Harlow. When she was younger my mum use to hurt her, so my dad sent her away. He said it was to get rid of our mother but turns out he was fucking my mum while our sister was with our Aunt waiting to come back home" I started.
"I have known the club for three years Hendrix I haven't heard anyone mention your mum or your sister" Dean said. "Yeh she was sent away 6 years ago. She was suppose to be home in weeks. 10 days ago we brought her here. The last time she was here our mother hurt her in that room that I put her in. She was being disrespectful and I shoved her in the room without thinking. Fuck, I should of fucken known" I said standing up pushing the chair back. "All this time while she has been back, I should of fucken seen it. This house is the house of her fucken nightmares and I made her live here. Fuck" I said pacing back and forth.
Dean and I sat in silence for about 20 minutes before the twins and Kody came down the stairs. "We cleaned up the mess in Harlow's room" Jett said. I nodded my head "thanks" I replied . Kody didn't even acknowledge me or the twins for that matter. He went over to the food and started to serve three plates of food. "What are you doing?" I asked Kody. "Getting food" he replied without looking at me. "How is she?" I asked.
Kody swung around. "Are you fucking kidding me Hendrix? How the fuck do you think she is doing? You fucked up big time. She won't even look at anyone. She is sitting in the corner of Leo's room staring at the fucken wall. You knew what mum did to her but you fucken still dragged her to that room. Have you seen the marks you left on her arm? The scratch marks around her neck ? I'm guessing she did trying to get her breath. And you two. I'm guessing you both just sat watching. If any one of you had of bothered to look at Harlow this week you would of seen she isn't coping here. She barely eats here. Doesn't fucken sleep, never been near the basement or into the master bedroom. She is either out in the backyard, in the lounge room or not here. Open your fucken eyes for once in your life" Kody ranted.
"We forced her back here and then shoved her in the room she was hurt the most in. No one stopped to think about what she wanted at all. Then you want to pretend to care" he continued before grabbing two plates of food and heading upstairs. Dean stood up grabbed the other plate and followed Kody up the stairs.
Leo's POV
I had helped to shower and dress my sister she still wasn't speaking or looking at anyone. I lead her into my room before going back into the bathroom to change into dry clothes. When I got back into the room Kody was trying to talk to Harlow but she was in the corner of my room sitting curled up looking at the wall. Watching my sister so broken because of my brother hurt. He never stops to think of what he is doing he just reacts. I head over to Harlow sitting in front of her but she doesn't acknowledge me.
After 10 minutes of trying to get Harlow to talk Kody went to get us all food. "Harl's please look at me" I said to her. I just wanted to hold her but she never liked anyone touching her anymore. Tears were slowing falling from her eyes and I didn't know how to help. "I'm so sorry Harlow. I should of been here" I sobbed out. Harlow looked at me and then back at the wall. I had my head down and felt like I failed her yet again. "Please Harlow, I can't lose you again it will kill me" I whispered. Harlow crawled into my lap and made herself into a ball curling up and rested her head on my chest. I wrapped my arms around my sister and held her tightly. I never wanted to see my sister like that again.
Kody walked in with two plates or food followed by Dean. I just glared at him. He scared my sister just as much as Hendrix so I didn't want him here. "Harlow I got some food for you" Kody said trying to hand her the food but she shook her head no. "Come on, you need to eat" he tried again but she buried her head into my chest shaking her head no. "How about a kebab?" Dean asked and she shook her head no again. "Harl's please just a little bit for me? Or we can go get something else if you like" I said to her. "Ice cream" she whispered. "If you eat a little off my plate, I'll take you for ice cream" I said to her. She didn't look happy at all.
Harlow went to climb off my lap but I held here there bringing the plate closer to us "eat" I said to her but she just pushed the plate away. "I'll take her for ice cream" Dean said. Both Kody and I glared at him. "What I owe her an apology for yelling. It's the least I can do" Dean said. Both Kody and I protested but Harlow stood straight up grabbing her shoes and pulling them on. Without saying another word Harlow walked out of the room followed by Dean then me and Kody. There was no way I would let my sister out of my sight after what had gone down today.
