We pull up in a nice normal looking neighborhood, kids playing in the street, every house well kept with manicured lawns. Not the place you would expect all that happened to Scarlett's family. Scarlett climbs out of the truck and takes a minute to look up at the house in front of us, this house stands out as although the grass is freshly cut, you can tell a family doesn't love this home. The paint peels and the windows hold a layer of dust and dirt. Mike pulls up behind us and climbs out of his car, walking up beside Scarlett
"You ready?" He asks pulling a key from his pocket
"Yeah" Scarlett sighs and reaches out for my hand, I gladly take hers and squeeze it to reassure her I'm by her side. Mike unlocks the front door and pushes the large pile of mail out of the way allowing us to step over a few envelopes. The house is trashed. Unknown liquids, that are best staying unknown, splattered up the walls, cigarette butts cover the floor along with their ash. Furniture is burnt and ripped or just flipped over.
"What the fuck happened?" Scar gasps as I see a tear form in her eye and I release her hand to wrap my arm around her shoulder
"Well a lot of it was mom I think, she was taking so much shit and had no way to pay, so then she started letting people stay in the house and I don't know what happened once she died." Mike says as he walks through the hall towards what was once the living room, I'm guessing.
"Ok I've seen enough, I want to get some stuff from my room." Scarlett says as we head up the stairs. We reach a door with a Metallica poster on it and she pushes the door open. The room is mostly intact, just dirty and the bed clearly slept in. Scarlett hovers in the doorway
"You're ok." I reassure her as I kiss her forehead
"I know I just, I haven't been in this room since the night Alec.." she says staring at the bed
"Alec is dead and you are free." I remind her
"I'm free." She smiles as she reaches up and kisses me before entering the room. I look around at the posters covering every part of every wall and even the ceiling. Mostly of bands, cars or motorcycles but one catches my eye. It's a Camaro, but a busty blonde is straddling the hood in nothing but a tiny string bikini
"Stop drooling." Scarlett says as she hits my chest and I turn my attention back to the hot blonde standing in front of me. She goes over to the closet, sliding open the doors and then reaching up, pulling a box down from the high shelf
"You got what you wanted?" Mike asks standing in the doorway
"Yep, oh and you can have these back smart ass." She says as she lifts her bed up and pulls out a stack of magazines
"My playboys?" Mike laughs as he takes them from her
"Yeah, that's what Mike was referring to in his kitchen that I used to steal from him. I was young and confused and some of the girls in those are fucking hot." Scarlett shrugs as she picks the box back up and heads for the door. She takes one last look around the room and then walks away. I follow her out to the truck and take the box from her, putting it on the back seat
"Ok so I want regular calls and texts and your ass better visit me, got it?" Scarlett says as she wraps her arms around Mike and he pulls her closer
"You know I will. And if you ever need me I'm only a call away." He says before letting her go
"I love you." Scar says before she steps back towards the truck
"Love you too sis." Mike winks as she gets in the passenger seat. I jump in and she hands me the keys. I pull off down the road but look over to Scar to see her sobbing as tears run down her face. Now this scares me, I have never seen her cry even after all she's gone through
"Hey what's going on? It's gonna be ok now." I say as I pull over the truck and pull her onto my lap, I wrap my arms around her as she buries her face in my neck
"It's just, Mike is alive, Alec is dead and I have you. All the time I spent running, wondering when Alec would find me, feeling so alone, I never thought I would end up here." She says against my neck as I hold her tight.
"You'll always have me because I love you. When we get home the whole club will know you're my old lady and you can be whatever you want, with me by your side." I tell her as I lift her chin to look at me, wiping her tears with my thumb. She moves swiftly to straddle my lap and places her hands on either side of my face as her lips crash into mine. My hands on her hips as our tongues taste each other in rough, raw passion. Her core grinds against me and I groan into her mouth
"You're the best thing that ever happened to me." She says looking into my eyes
"Let's go home." She says as she climbs back into the passenger seat
"You're gonna be the death of me." I groan as I adjust my jeans and head back out on the road.
"I'm sure I'll make it up to you in bed tonight." Scarlett laughs before turning on the radio.
I've been driving for a couple of hours with Scarlett asleep beside me but I stop and wake her up to get food
"So do you have any ideas what you want to do now?" I ask as we sit in the parking lot eating burgers
"I never thought about it, last time I thought about my future I was still in high school." She shrugs before taking a bite of her food
"Well, if you wanted to finish school I'm cool with that, man I feel old telling my 18 year old girl she can finish high school." I laugh as I take a drink from my soda
"Calm down Daddy, you're only 33." She smirks as she winks at me
"Never call me that again" I groan and she laughs
"I don't know if I want to go back to school, I learnt more on the road then I'll ever learn in some stupid classroom." She replies
"Well think about it and whatever you want to do, I'll support you." I finish and she smiles. She reaches in the back seat and pulls out the box she took from her house and opens it up
"My dad would've loved you, it sucks you'll never know him." She says as she pulls out pictures of her family
"When my dad died my mom gave Mike all his military stuff and when I thought Mike died I took it all so my mom wouldn't sell it for drugs, thank god she never found it." She says pulling medals from the box
"They would look great on display in our home." I reply as she shows me a picture of her dad in his uniform.
"I love you." She smiles
"I love you too." I reply as we head out on the road home.
