It's been a few days since Neil left, Jeremy too. He begged for me to let him stay or have me go to New York with him. He didn't want me to be left alone with Neil but I made him go back. I told him I could take care of myself. Neil wouldn't lay another hand on me like that again. And I meant it.

I was alone and I didn't like it. I had nothing to do but work on my school. And in the past days Neil was gone, I got to finish. I had no one to share the news with. Jeremy was in recording today so I couldn't call him till tomorrow. It was great seeing him but Neil ruined it. I still couldn't believe he did that to me and I couldn't believe I still loved him after that. I frown going to take a nap.

A few hours later I go make myself dinner. I made a self pizza and ate it on the couch watching cartoons like I did as a little girl. Then the door slammed open forcing me to jump at the loud bang. Neil comes in and walks up to me. I tense up, not knowing what would happen.

"Baby.. I'm sorry, I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I missed you and I miss you." He got on his knees slurring his words. I knew he was drunk, was he drinking every night when he was out. He crawled to me and rested his head on my thighs. "I just want Jackson back, I want to get the guy who killed him. Jackson deserves it. I love you Kat, please pl-please. To be honest when I came home the other night I was on drugs. More then just pot..I'm sorry." I didn't say one word. I saw a tear fall off his cheek onto my shorts. I run my fingers through his hair. I saw how much pain he was in because of Jackson's death.

"I don't know if I can forgive you Neil. You hit me," He nods.

"I know, I know. Please. I'll tell you everything. Just let me come back. I killed him.." I thought he was talking about Kyle so I frown.

"I know baby." He just shook his head, I got confused.

"I killed my dad." It felt like I stopped breathing. He looks up at me. "He murdered Andy's dad, a few other members of the club and made it look like I did it. He was beating my mom nearly every night, Jackson too. I was never home or around for it. One night it was so bad, when I came home Jackson was hiding in my room with the door locked. My dad was banging on the door trying to get him. My mom was dead on the living room floor. He was going to kill Jackson next. I ended it all. The cops were after me for it. So Jackson and I had to leave. To keep Jackson away from the being in adoption homes. I couldn't be in jail knowing he had no where to go. We don't have any other family. The club understood and let us leave." As he told me the story, I was speechless. I didn't know what to say or how to act. I was next to a murderer. "I was charged with gun possession and drug use before. Never murder. I was never the one to do the killing in the club. More of the crazy people did. I went on the runs for the guns and drugs. I was always the brains never the killer. " He stood running his fingers through his hair then yawned. He then rubbed his eyes. "I won't be in peace if I don't get Andy. It needs to happen. That's how we do it in the club."

I whisper, "Go shower. I'll get you something to eat." He nods starting to listen.

I walk into the bedroom seeing Neil on the bed smoking some weed. He was in his underwear, he was also more sobered up. I brought him some coffee after he asked for it instead of food. I placed it down on the dresser and got behind Neil. I rubbed his chest. I thought about it once he was in the shower. I figured if I wanted to be with him, I'd better get use to it. Everyone in the club has done wrong. Everyone has in the world.

He put his joint in his mouth then pulled me on his lap having me straddle him. He took another hit then turned his head to blow the smoke away from my face. I wrapped my arms around his neck then looked at him. He couldn't smile, he was so broken.

He whispered while resting his forehead on mine, "I need to feel something baby..Anything. Please." He closed his eyes and I kiss him. While we kiss he puts out his joint in an ash tray then out that on the ground. He lied down making me be fully on top of him. His hands roamed all over my body.

Neil

Kat was laying on my bare chest, I felt her hot breath on my skin and I rubbed her head. Running my fingers through her hair. I just missed her touch, just laying next to her made me feel normal. Like I was a normal guy from a normal town with a normal life. But I knew it wasn't like that. I was snapped back out from my thoughts when I heard my phone ring. I grab it and look at the number. It was private number, probably the club on a burner.

"Hello."

"Neil, nei-" He was cut off it sounded like Tyler. I sit up knocking Kat off me.

"Tyler?" I heard a laugh over the phone.

"Yeah, It was Tyler. But now it's Andy. If you don't give me what I want Neil. I'll do worse to him. His hand is already gone. Don't want him to lose another hand now do you?" I growled knowing my brother was suffering by the same man who killed Jackson.

"I will kill you with my owns hands, I swear-"

"Neil-" I heard kat say but I point to the door. She quickly jumped off the bed grabbing my shirt and running out of the door.

"You better listen to me, you know Tyler can't get out of this one."

"I know you won't do anything to him. He was once your brother-" I was cut off by a gun shot. It went silent for a second.

"He was never my brother. Are you going to listen to me or should I kill another one of your brothers?"
