Hazardous (Black Rebels MC Book #2)

Chapter 4: Take a bow

A/n-Hadera's dress

Hadera's POV

I have never been more excited and nervous in my life, *Are you ready?* Mrs. Padik asks giving me a huge smile. I nod returning a smile, Mrs. Padik thought it would be better for me to sing a song that I knew by heart so I had less chance of messing up since I have a fear of embarrassing myself by talking. So the song ill be singing is Million To One by Camilla Cabello, it's the only song I can sing without messing up instantly. *Ok, some of the other choir kids will be doing the music for you so all you have to do is sing, I know you can do it* Mrs. Padik signs as she leads me to the stage wings. I could tell some of the choir kids were looking at me weirdly since I had my shoes off, for some context I use the vibrations from the music to sing, and it's easier to feel them when y shoes are off.

*"Welcome Everyone to the Colombus Highschool Advanced Choir showcase I am the choir director, Mrs. Padik, Before we get to our main choir we will be showcasing a few students on their musical talent, as you can see I've been singing this whole time because one of our openers is Deaf, I would like to welcome our Opener Hadrea Keita-Stone,"* Mrs. Padik says motioning me to come on stage. I walk onto stage nervously *Why don't you introduce yourself I'll be in the audience,* Mrs. Padik says walking down to the front row of seats that are reserved for the showcase acts. *"H-Hello, M-my name is Hadera I-I was born Deaf in both ears a-and I'm going to be s-singing Million To One by Camilla C-Cabello"* I stutter out stepping away from the mic and looking behind me to see some of the choir kids setting up their instruments.

I take some deep breaths before I feel the music start, once I started singing it was like all my nerves disappeared and all the bad thoughts in my head stopped. When I finished singing I opened my eyes to see everyone standing and clapping I look down at Mrs. Padik and she signed *Take a Bow.* I bowed as the tears fell from my eyes. I can't believe I got a standing ovation! The more I looked around the more my mood dimmed, I wish my parents were here, even if it was just one of them I wish they were here. I made my way off the stage and into the wings of the stage. Everyone in the choir room was clapping in ASL (It kind of looks like slow jazz hands) Seeing them clap for me made me smile again. Eventually, all the opening performances were done and it was time for the choir to sing, Mrs. Padik liked throwing different songs some in different languages and some with different cultures, so this year's showcase song is Baba Yetu which is a prayer song in Swahili. Good luck to them and good luck to me explaining why I came to school even though I don't take art...

Drakes POV

Seeing my daughter sing was probably the most heartwarming moment ever. I just want to know why she didn't tell us about her passion for music. I may or may not have recorded the whole thing, can you blame me my daughter is amazing. I quickly made my way to the nearest grocery store and bought her flowers.

Time Skip

By the time I had gotten back the main choir had finished so I waited in the hallway for Hadera. *Dad your here early!* Hadera signed shock evident on her face as she probably realized she still has her dress on. *I know I'm early but I got these for you,* I sign backhanding her the flowers. *Thank you, Dad you didn't have to* she signs with a smile on her face as she gives me a side hug trying not to hit me with the flowers. *But I wanted to, you were amazing out there* I sign kissing her forehead. *You're not mad?* She signs surprised, *Why would I be you are amazing, but I'm a bit hurt you didn't tell me,* I sign back as we walk outside to the truck. Hadera explains her reasoning which I understand why she would be nervous she never likes speaking.

We drive back to the compound Hadera still admiring the flowers I got her. As we reached the compound I see two times the usual amount of motorcycles in front of the main building letting me know that King and his club have arrived. Hadera didn't look fazed at all the new bikes, I'm guessing she found out about the chapter get-together. As soon as I parked Hadera jumped out of the car rushing inside, I'm guessing to get changed before someone sees her.

I take her bag out of the back seat and set it on one of the couches in the lounge room. I head to the meeting room since Prez called church almost 30 minutes ago and I'm late. "Look who decided to show up!" Prez dramatically says as I enter the room. "I got caught up with something," I reply nonchalantly giving him a clipped answer. "Where the hell were you that your this late to church!" Ace yells out getting a little too close to me. "Oh, I'm sorry I was just trying to get to the bottom of Hadera's lying situation cause you were overly concerned," I say pushing him away.

"Woah Woah Woah! You'll need to calm your tits!" King yells as he and Prez separate us. "Oh, and it took you a whole 30 minutes to ask her what she was doing?" Rusty asks, "She's been hiding the fact that she been taking choir and piano lessons from us and I stayed and watched her performance at school then I drove, got some, flowers and gave them to her and we talked about her little secret then we came straight here happy?" I reply frustrated and mad at myself for exposing my daughter's secret for the sake of not getting my ass whooped.

"She what? But that doesn't explain why she was sneaking around at 3 am," Hacker says "Hey when did ya'll clean out the storage room?" we hear Dario yell from the hallway. We all speed towards Dario as he's in the old storage room. "Damn this place is clean as hell!" Kai says as he steps in. "This makes no sense the cameras show that the room is still musty as ever," Hacker says pulling up the camera feed again. "If I didn't know any better I would say your little girl has a few more secrets and if not she is a witch," King says walking around the room. *"What are you doing in there your not supposed to be in here, D-Dario, don't touch that!"* We hear a Haderas small voice say from behind us. Before Hadera could reach Dario he had already touched the top of the piano and it dropped on his fingers...

Hadera's POV

After getting dressed I could feel pounding footsteps downstairs so me being me I gingerly walk behind the bar to see a crowd of men going into my music room. *"What are you doing in there your not supposed to be in here, D-Dario, don't touch that!"* I try and yell seeing Dario touch the top of my piano. Before I could reach him the top falls smashing his fingers. "AHHHHHHHHH FUCK ME!" Dario yells and this is the first time I can tell what someone is saying. Some of the unknown men lift the piano top off his fingers. Dad runs to get Aunty Alana while I stand there as the men turn to look at me, I sheepishly smile walking over to the piano probing the top back up and fixing everything that they ha touched.

*"So you play the piano?"* Uncle Don asks, I nod before sitting down at the piano and playing a small portion from taking me to church. *"That was amazing why don't you go to the common room and then we can introduce everyone to you,"* Uncle don recommends. Time to meet everyone...
