Good Die Young - Koe Wetzel Love Story

Chapter 12: Weight of Your World

Brantley's POV

I go and put my motorcycle in the barn. Before I can walk back out my phone starts ringing. I look at the caller ID and see it's Koe.

"Hey, Koe! I've got her now. We are about to head back to the cabin." I say when I answer the phone.

"Thank you! Brantley, is she okay. Did she let you know anything?" Koe asks with concern in his voice.

"Koe, you're moms guess was correct. She's terrified you're going to leave. She scared Jackson will try and take this baby. She just overall scared." I say with a sigh.

"This isn't her fault. I'm not leaving her because of this. I just want her to know she's safe with me. I just want her to be loved and know what real love is." Koe says with a certain sadness in his voice.

"I know brother. She will come around. I just think she's a little shaken up. I'm about to head out now. We will be back at the house in thirty minutes." I say reassuring him.

"Okay, I'll see you both in a little bit." Koe says before he hangs up the phone.

I head back out to Harley's Bronco. I get in the driver side and pull off. I notice Harley has fallen asleep. I make the drive back to the cabin just thinking. I think about how everything has been turned upside down for her. She deserves to be happy. She's like the little sister I never had. I don't want anything to happen to her. I know she's safe with Koe. I know he won't intentionally hurt her. I just hope she doesn't shut everyone out. I'm brought out of my thoughts as I see the cabin come into view. I park Harley's Bronco and get out. I go around to the passenger side. I grab Harley's purse and gently pick her up. I carry her up to the front porch. Before I can open the door it's pulled open. I look to see Koe standing there. He holds the door for me. I see that everyone is in the living room including her Aunt, Uncle, Amanda, John, Hank, Kid Rock, Gretchen, Morgan, Kelly, and May.  They all looked worried. I take Harley upstairs and lay her down.  Koe pulls the covers back on the bed. I lay her down and Koe pulls off her slippers off. He then pulls the blankets back over her. I watch as he leans down and kisses the top of her head. We then head back down.  I can tell he doesn't want to leave her. When we get in the living room you can feel how everyone's on edge.

"Brantley, is she okay." Amber asks as I sit down.

"No, but I want to know who failed at the hospital. They should've given her the meds to prevent the pregnancy. She was a rape victim for crying out loud." I say looking at everyone.

That's when we hear strangled cry from upstairs. Before anyone can move Koe is bounding up the stairs.

Koe's POV

As soon as I hear Harley's cry I head upstairs.  When I make it into our room. I see she is having a bad dream. I gently sit on the side of the bed. I wake her up. She sees that it's just us she throws her arms around me. I pull her close to me as she burries her head into my neck. I rub her back as she starts to calm down. I can't help but think about how our life is going to change. I know she may be pregnant by that bastard but I'll be with her every step of the way. I'll help raise that baby as my own.  I'll protect them both no matter what.

"Koe, I'm scared." She says as she pulls away slightly.

"I know darlin. I promise you I'm not going anywhere. I'll love this baby like they're mine. They are apart of you. I'll be here every step of the way." I say as I lean down and kiss her.

She kisses me back. She pulls away and just smiles slightly.

"I don't know what I did to deserve you. You're truly one amazing man. I'm lucky to call you mine." She says as lays her head on my shoulder.
