Chapter 43
Harlow's POV
Today was the day I go to get my tattoo. I didn't want Jett to do it but he was good at what he did. Toby was coming with me as was my father and Leo. The threats from Hendrix had started and I was no longer allowed to be alone. I had to have someone with me at all times. Leo was meeting us at the shop as he had to check something out quickly. I was driving with Toby and my dad was on his bike with another older club member, one in front, one behind. They said it was just precautionary. I thought it was ridiculous, I didn't think Hendrix would actually try to get me, he was my brother for good sake. I thought he was just all talk because he knew the locations I would be most of the time and if he really wanted me he would come to me anyway. But I kept my mouth shut because I still really wasn't talking to anyone.
As we got in the car my father spoke to Toby alone who nodded his head and then we were off. We followed my dad and then the other guy was on our tail. It looked ridiculous to be honest. "Harl's, Leo wants you to wear the bracelet in my pocket. It has a tracker on it so if Hendrix does find you, we can track your location" Toby stated. I rolled my eyes grabbing the bracelet out of Toby's pocket and putting it on. It was way to big so I decided to wear it as an anklet.
"Shit" Toby said out of no where. The bike behind us had gone and there was a car trying to ram us. "What's going on Toby?" I asked. "Your dad was rammed and so was the guy behind us, call Leo now Harl's" he said trying to stay calm. I grabbed my phone and Leo answered straight away. "Harlow what's up?" Leo asked. "Umm shit Toby he has a gun stop the fucken car" I called out. "Harlow where are you? What's going on? Where is dad and Blade?" Leo called. "They were taken out. Leo I'm scared" I whispered. "I'm tracking you Harlow, don't hang up the phone" Leo replied before Toby slammed the brakes on stopping the car. I dropped the phone but didn't hang up.
"Harlow whatever they do don't get out of the car" Toby said before he stepped out of the car. I watched as Hendrix got out of the car pointing a gun towards Toby. I screamed without realising it. Hendrix smiled a scary, sadistic smile. "Oh Harlow, come out, come out so your friend here doesn't get shot" Hendrix taunted me. Toby shook his head slightly telling me not to. I was frozen on the car watching on. Hendrix cocked the gun and pointed it at Toby's head walking closer to where Toby stood.
"Let's play a game Harlow. It's call Russian roulette, for every minute you stay in that car I shoot Toby here. The catch is you won't know when the bullet I have in the barrel will be up. There are 6 chambers and one bullet. Make a choice Harlow quick smart. You have one minute then I shoot" Hendrix called out. Toby looked to the side at me shaking his head no and mouthing "I love you". I was a sobbing mess and mouthed back I love you.
A minute was quickly over and Hendrix shot the gun causing me to scream out and close my eyes. I knew I couldn't lose Toby at all. "That's one Harlow there is five more to go one of them is the kill shot make your choice you have 40 seconds left" Hendrix called out.
I slowly opened my eyes to see Toby now facing me a small smile on his face. "I'm ok" he mouthed to me. I shook my head no, I couldn't let him do this at all. "Leo I love you. I love all of you and I'm sorry. Take care of each other and please take care of Toby, Sue and Steve they are my family" I said just as Hendrix pulled the trigger again causing me to scream out again. "That's two Harlow four more to go. I guess you don't love him after all" Hendrix laughed out. "Harlow don't you dare get out of that car. We are coming" Leo screamed but I knew I had to do this. I wouldn't let Toby get hurt because of me. This was my fight not his and I would never forgive myself if something happened to him because of me.
I slowly opened the door and Toby screamed "no Harlow". I sobbed "I can't let him hurt you. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I love you Toby" I said breaking down knowing this may be the last time I see him. "Be happy Toby, for me. Take care of everyone for me" I told him. "Oh how touching. Harlow is playing hero now" Hendrix laughed out. "Don't worry you won't be seeing her, I have big plans for Harlow at our new club. She will be one of the sluts but first the president wants to break her and have her carry the next heir. She will be well used by the time we have finished with her and the best part, mum set it all up before she died, it's perfect really because the person you hated most gets to deliver the final blow and there is not a damn thing you can do about it" Hendrix spat.
Hendrix raised his arm and knocked Toby on the back of his head with the gun causing him to drop to the ground. I ran to him trying to get him to wake up screaming for him. There was bloody pooling out of his head where Hendrix hit him but all he did was laugh. Hendrix grabbed me dragging my body along the tar road while I tried to fight him to get back to Toby. "Stop fighting bitch or I'll knock you out" Hendrix spat but I kept fighting. I saw the fist come towards the side of my face before everything went black.
