Chapter Four

Rebel

ICAN’T BELIEVE thisfucking bitch had the balls to hurt my grandma for some reason. That’s what I can’t figure out. Why would she get into nursing if she doesn’t want to work with someone like my grandma? How can she hurt someone who can barely open her eyes? So many questions are racing through my head and I don’t know if this bitch will answer anything. So, I look to Eagle and Cash as they surround me with their strength and support. Men and women I’ve tried to support through everything they’ve been through regarding their lives entering the club and with rivals over the years. Now, they’re here for me when I need them the most. I never once believed I’d have their support this way because I’m nothing more than someone who works the bar. I can’t even think about what Eagle and Cash want with me. Those two men can have any woman they want and I don’t feel as if I fit the bill of a woman who can be with them. The girls they’re with have experience and I’ve only been with one person—Chad. Pound and I never had sex. We only messed around a little bit.

“What’s up, Sweet Girl?” Eagle asks me, his voice low as he looks down at me with the room filled with men and women from the club.

“Why did she do this? There has to be a reason she came into our home and hurt my grandma,” I whisper, my words settle heavy in the air between the two of us.

“Let’s find out, Doll. I agree that there’s a reason she came in here like this,” Cash says, resting his hand on my lower back as he looks down at me while Eagle lifts my hands in his to start inspecting the damage I’ve done to them.

We all turn to where Alex and the rest of the ol’ ladies have the nurse surrounded. I step forward and look down at the bitch who’s covered in blood from the hits I landed on her.

“Why are you here?” Eagle questions the bitch, his voice cold and deadly in ways I’ve never heard before from him. “Who sent you in this house?”

For several minutes, the nurse doesn’t say a word. She looks defiantly at us and tries to hold her head high even as she’s surrounded by women who want to beat the fuck out of her. I can see it written on her face. Then, she smiles at us and I know deep in my soul I’m not going to like the answer she’s about to give me.

“Chad sent me here. He wants me to give him information on her,” she sneers while glaring in my direction. “I don’t see why the fuck he’d want to know anything about you. You’re a pathetic skank who spreads her legs for every single man in this room. Talk about a fucking piece of shit.”

Her words hit me deep and break something else in my soul. I’ve never once spread my legs for anyone in this room and my body count is literally one person. Eagle and Cash wrap their arms around me and hold me close as Hawk and Crow stand in front of me as if they’re guarding me from this bitch seeing me and being able to hurt me even more than the damage she’s already inflicted on me. My body starts to tremble and I feel as if my legs can’t hold me up hearing that Chad got to this skank to get with me.

“Where is Chad?” Reaper asks, his voice low and deadly as he moves in front of the nurse to stand next to Alex. “When’s the last time you talked to him?”

“I talked to him yesterday and updated him on what a slut Rebel is. We talk once or twice a week and have been since the day I walked in here as this bitch’s nurse. He’s here in Clinton where he’s been since he got kicked out of school because of this slut,” the nurse says and my heart starts to feel as if it’s about to beat right out of my chest and my legs can no longer hold my weight and I try to suck in a breath to no avail.

“How did Rebel get him kicked out?” Alex questions her, her voice cold and hard.

“He was so fucking obsessed with her that he refused to go to classes and has been spending all of his time figuring out ways to get close to her so he can get her back. They were engaged and he sees her as his. He’s never gonna let you go, Rebel. You’re fucked and don’t even realize how bad. Especially considering that he is only here because you left him. He truly wants me and has been in love with me for as long as I can remember,” the skank says, her voice filled with hysterical laughter as she stares holes in my direction.

“So, you’ve been fucking Chad even though he’s obsessed with Rebel still? And you think she’s the slut?” Zoey asks, her voice cold and hard as she steps up to the bitch and yanks her hair to pull her head back.

“Chad is my man. He only wants to get Rebel back so he can prove to her that no one else will ever want her. He plans on fucking her up in the worst ways possible. I’m not ratting out his plans because he’s my man and I want him to fuck you up. Maybe then he’ll finally get the fuck over her so we can be together,” the nurse says as a sob escapes me and my eyes slide closed as I rest my head on Cash’s chest while Eagle takes up the space at my back.

“We’re getting Rebel back to the clubhouse. I want someone here with her grandma until we figure out somethin’ more permanent. Rebel doesn’t need to be around this bitch for another second,” Eagle states, his voice hard despite him trying to tone down his anger as I feel his body tremble against mine with his suppressed rage.

Cash cradles my face in his hand, pressing my head harder against his chest as I try to take in a deep breath to fill my lungs that feel as if they’re starving for oxygen. Cash’s shirt is soaked from my tears as I open my eyes and look at my grandma. I step away from the guys and make my way over to where my grandma lies in the hospital bed. She’s not even getting complete rest as her body jumps and muscle spasms overtake various parts of her body. Whimpers slip out every now and then and it kills me to know I won’t be here with her. That someone else will be watching over her and leave an opening for Chad to get someone else through the door to gather information on me.

“Take her back and help her relax. We’ll take care of Grandma. Alex and I will stay here tonight and I will personally contact the agency to get a new nurse scheduled for her care. Tomorrow we’ll figure things out. Zoey and the girls will deal with the skank before handin’ her over to the cops. I see a few charges in her future,” Reaper says, as I step up and run my finger down my grandma’s cheek, her skin pale and cold as another whimper escapes.

After pressing a kiss against my grandma’s cheek, I let Eagle and Cash lead me out of the house and toward Eagle’s bike. He puts his arm around my shoulders while reaching down and grabbing the spare helmet off of his handlebars and putting it on my head. As he straps it tight, I wonder how many other women have worn this same helmet.
