the brothers. I think that shit turns them both on. Seriously those two just need to fuck and get it over with. Maybe then they would know whether its love or lust.
As I turned to head into the hospital with Wall by my side he spoke. "Just because I'm feeling less edgy from our conversation doesn't mean your asses aren't in for it when we get through this." I stood still in the middle of the parking lot while Wall continued his track across the parking lot. Well goddamn; so much for wishful fucking thinking. Now I’m the one who’s probably gonna wear an ass whippin’ from Madison.
"You coming or not Munchkin" he yelled back to me as he stopped at the door and turned towards me. Well hell, I guess that was my cue to pull up my big girl panties and head in.
Happy
Stopping outside the door of my brother's hospital room I turned to Madison looking for some encouragement to walk in the room. Out of all the club brats, she was the one I was closest to. She was the first one to reach out to me and make me feel like I belonged. Me being what the club brats refer to as a straggler, it took a while for most of them to warm up to me. Madison was the one to strike up the first conversation with the lost seventeen-year-old boy I was when I first started hanging around. That coming from one of the "club princesses" said a lot. When our former president's daughter included me that first night it opened the door to a world I didn't know I needed at the time. At that time, it was just me and Brookes against the world. Brookes became my legal guardian when he was only nineteen years old after he fought fiercely to keep me. It was a rough time of my life, to say the least. He was labeled as active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps, and that was our biggest hurdle. We moved around a bit for a little over two years but when I was sixteen he landed a permanent spot as a drill Sargent for the notorious boot camp on Paris Island. The little road trip we took while on leave before he took the position was what would eventually lead us to settling down in Great Falls South Carolina a little over a year later after he completed the remainder of his enlistment. With his time in the service completed we packed up what little we had and moved to the old mill town of Great Falls. It was that move that got me where I am today and for that I will always be grateful to my older brother.
I was so lost in thought as I cuddled my beautiful niece I didn't hear Madison at first.
"Happy...Happy...Hey, Happy... There you are. You kind of zoned out on me for a second. Wanna share where your head went," Madison asked?
"I was just thinking about what brought me to this point in my life. I'm not dwelling on this particular moment if that's what you’re thinking. I'm just thinking about mom and dad passing leaving Brookes as my only living relative and the shit he gave up to keep me, even if it did lead us to Great Falls. Then how you took one look at me the first time I grew enough balls to walk onto the compound for the Halloween party and welcomed me with open arms. Remember the one threw for half the town? That’s the night your sassy ass accepted me for the straggler I am. It was like you picked me out of a sea of people and took me under your wing. I owe you just as much for this life as I do Brookes. My life has always thrown me some fucking curve balls, but Brookes always had my back. If I didn't have the club, I don't know what I would be after this.”
"I never knew you felt that way Hap. I just saw a young guy who looked like he needed a friend, just like I'm looking at a man now who needs that same friend to help him through what will most likely be the hardest time he has to get through. We all grieve differently but before you have a chance to shut down and try to distance yourself while you grieve, I want you to look at that beautiful little girl in your arms and reconsider. That little brat is going to need you no matter what. The rest of us
