Psycho - Headless Horsemen MC novel Chapter 25

- Harley -

I knock lightly on the big wooden doors, I hear Jax's voice "Come in kitten", I open the doors and skip towards him before sitting down on his lap. "Your dad and brother want to see you, they wanted to talk to you about something" What do they need to talk to me about? Important? What's so important about today? I look over to the date on the computer and realise it's my birthday, fuck.

I fucking hate my birthday, I've never liked it we never really celebrated it, mum was always drunk before dad left Matthew told me that he would spoil me like a princess and that he would take me out on little birthday adventures, I never got cards or presents from my mother, after dad left I basically forgot I had a birthday, Matt never had the money to buy presents but he did write me homemade cards, I kept every single one he wrote.

I open my mouth to ask him if he knows but I'm stopped in my tracks by the doors bursting open, Gunner comes bounding in like an energiser bunny maybe he's high. He makes his way to the front of the desk, almost bouncing up and down in his spot, I'm too nervous to move or speak in case he explodes, but he might know why my dad and brother want to speak to me.

"Why are you so excited?" I raise my eyebrow and give him a questioning look "You and I are spending the day together, Shelby's gone for the week and I'm bored" he pouts his bottom lip at me, idiot I know Shelby's still here I saw her before I came into the office, she's working at the strip club today. "What are you hiding?" I ask him as I watch him, his face pales it looks like he's going to pass out, huh so you are hiding something.

Maybe he knows? But if he knows then Jax knows. But how would they know I never told them when it was, and then it hits me, my dad and brother must have said something. I swear to fucking god if there's a party I'm going to blow the building up, my birthday just brings me haunting memories of my asshole of a stepfather abusing me, i was always hurt more on my birthday, i start to trace the scars he left on my skin as bile begins to flood my throat.

"What are you talking about, I'm, not hiding anything" he replies sheepishly, "I wonder how long you would last in the basement with me before you told me" I smirk at him as I run my fingers through Jax's hair. "Come on Harlz, it's BFF day" Gunner exclaims, I roll my eyes at him what the fuck is a BFF? I turn my attention to Jax and smile as the memories of yesterday begin to swarm my mind.

"No can do, I was promised breakfast this morning" I turn my attention back to Gunner who now has the colour back in his face, "Hang out with Gunner and we can go to lunch instead, that way I can finish off shit in here" I turn back to Jax and give him a look, his eyes pleading with me, what's so fucking important about today? I roll my eyes and get off his lap "Fine".

I throw my arms up in the air dramatically and start to walk away, Jax pulls me back by my wrist smashing his lips onto mine, he breaks the kiss and cups my face staring into my eyes "Be good kitten" his voice low and sexy making me squeeze my legs together to stop the waterfall in between my legs becoming any worse.

I blow a raspberry with my lips before smirking at him "When am I ever good handsome?" I bite my lip before standing up to walk away, I turn and begin to walk when suddenly there is a loud slapping sound and a sting on my ass cheek, I can't help but giggle at him. I make my way over to Gunner as he throws his arm over my shoulder, "We are going to have so much fun Harlz", let BFF day commence.

"Soooooo, what exactly is a BFF day?" I ask him as we walk towards a metal door I've never seen before, he stops dead in his tracks turns around to me with a horrid expression on his face, "Did you really just ask me that?" I roll my eyes and keep walking until I'm standing infront of the door, I look to Gunner who has a stupid smile on his face.

He opens the door and we walk in, the rooms dark but still has enough light in it to see that there not much in here, a few tables, some bean bags, and fairy lights, what the fucks going on? I walk in first Gunner one step behind me, I make my way to the middle of the room and find some incense burning and candles, this ain't it sis.

I turn to walk out of the room but Gunner's standing infront of the door with his dumbass smile on his face, he locks the door and swallows the key before smiling at me again, "What the fuck is wrong with you Gunner, you swallowed the fucking key?! How are we going to get out?! I can't kick down a metal fucking door you idiot I'm not the fucking hulk!".

"Oh god Harlz, just sit down and shut up, I'm not trying anything funny. This is our BFF day!" He replies excitedly, I look around the dimly lit room again and groan before looking back towards Gunner, "Fine! What are we doing then?" He pulls my wrist and drags me towards the bean bags, he pushes me down in one and then sits across from me.

"Gunner can you just tell me what's going on?" He raises his finger expecting me to stop talking, "Fucking tell me now before I rip open your stomach and dig through your body to find the fucking key" he rolls his eyes at me "Harlz, I love you and all but just shut the fuck up and just listen" I go to speak but close my mouth again, I don't have the energy to be arguing with him.

He twists his body to the side to pick something up from beside him, my eyes watch his every move in case he tries anything stupid, once he faces me again I look down to what hes holding in his hands and see a bong, a bong? This is what he's brought me into this dumb room for? A bong? "Are you fucking kidding me you dickhead, we could have done this shit anywhere, not in some fucking weird-ass 70's inspired room".

"Oh My God will you just let me finishhhh" he squeals dragging out the word finish, yeah Shelby defiantly wears the pants in their relationship. "This is my best friend, his names Billy" I look at him dumbfounded, he holds the bong out towards me, "Would you like to hold Billy?" He asks with a proud smile on his face, he cannot be serious right now.

"Sure" I mumble before taking it into my hands, "So, this is it?" I ask him while inspecting the bong in my hands, "Nope" he says popping the p, before digging his hands into the pocket inside his cuts before his face lights up, "Uh-huh!" He yells before pulling out a bag of weed, "It-it's beautiful" I whisper, "I know I know, I really am beautiful huh? It took you long enough to realise".

"No, you idiot I'm talking about the bag of weed" I place the bong on the floor before turning my attention back to Gunner, "So that's all we are doing?" I ask him and he laughs at me before shaking his head "No no dear Harlz, we are going to hotbox the room and then we are going to play pranks on everyone in the club and eat all their food" I scream and throw my hands up in the air "Best BFF day ever!".

I don't know how long we have been sitting on the bean bags hotboxing the room, but my vision is blurred due to the amount of smoke in the room, I can barely see Gunner infront of me. "Hey," he says pulling me out of my mind, "Yeah" I reply squinting my eyes trying to focus on him, "Do-do you think they call sand, sand because its in between the sea and the land?" I lean back in the seat and think about it.
