like she was supposed to she would understand, and be able to take over the family business, whatever that is, which is why he allowed her mother to bestow him with a child.
(Hey his words not mine.)
Anyways she showed up at the clubhouse one night and ran into the bar room, she was bloody and had snot drippin all down her face, and clothes from cryin so hard and told us about what her dad said. She told about her mom, and how she stood up to him, statin she’d go to the cops and tell them what he just said to her, so if anythin happened to Clarice, her mom, that it would be noted and they’d come after him.
Apparently, he got forceful with her and back handed her causing her lip to split, she is feisty and she spit the blood at him. Which caused him to go from open handed assault to a closed handed fist assault. Which caused a couple more injuries to her, split open on her left eye and it was already black by the time she made it to the clubhouse. And more bruising on her cheeks.
The ding from the elevator brought me out of the memory and I stood straight and go to follow and Riley is looking over her shoulder giving me an odd look. If she only knew, I doubt Kori told her everything, probably just the dating Tic part. We walk through the lobby and as we get to the exit door Kori freezes.
I look at her and Riley turns and looks as well. She
has misty eyes and I follow her eye sight and it’s on Tic. Who is horse-playin around with the others. She has a smile on her face after a minute and wipes the tears away. She looks at me and says,
“Shall we?”
I walk out first giving Kori more time to get herself together. I can hear Riley and Kori talkin in hushed whispers. I think my baby doll is givin Kori some courage to come face to face with Tic. The guys all start rumblin wantin to know where she is.
I look at Tic and get his attention and all I say to him is “prepare brother”. He looks at me like I’m
ready for the loony bin. Funny thing is I think we’ll be keepin him from it in a few short seconds.
Kori finally breaches the doorway with my life in her hands and wheels her to the passenger side of the truck. Helpin Riley up from the wheel chair and easily helpin get her situated in the truck. How she does it with such ease with Riley’s shoulder wound is beyond me.
She did it like a pro with such ease and patients as Riley would moan she would adjust her and try a different way to not hurt Riley. The girls, who were around durin Kori’s time are all anxiously waitin for her to finish with Riley so they can get their hugs.
When she’s finally got Riley settled the girls rush her with hugs and askin a thousand questions that’s impossible to hear one over the other. Kori just laughs and tells them if they stop she’ll talk. Of course wantin the gossip they stop right away. She gives them a basic run down of the last four years, after we helped her get into nursin school.
Funny thing is, after we got things in order here, meanin our businesses and went to check on her, she’d transferred and the school wouldn’t tell us where. The ladies, of course, weren’t satisfied with those answers and started in on her. She whistled so loud I had to clear my ears, why the fuck do women do that shit? Is it to make us deaf so they can say ‘honey don’t you remember?’ huh...I hate it. She says,
“I’m gonna say this once and I’m glad there is enough of you around to spread it and spread it the right way. I can’t tell you why, I wish I could. If any of you, and I mean any, I can promise you that you not only put yourself and me at risk, but also the entire club. My dad has spent the last four years doing nothing but harassing me and showing me things he’s either fabricated or found out somehow of how he can take you all down or how he can have you killed by some nasty people who are worse than any MC you guys know.”
She takes a much
