Just A Princess

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Waking up the next morning, I get up to start my day. I get my laptop and head to the living room to get ready for my exam when I get an email from the dean's office. Opening the email, I see that I have been recommended for the early test out. Reading over it, I call the number provided in the email and get connected to my advisor. "Hey Mrs Jenkins. This is Maci Fowler." I say. "Maci. What can I do for you today?" she asked. "I got an email that said I was recommended for early test out. What would I need to do to do that?" I asked. "Looks like you were recommended. Over the next two weeks, you will get the emails for the tests. It looks like it's set up to test out of not just the classes you are in but the ones that you have to take next year too. Just take it a test at a time. I'll send you the schedule for the tests so you know which ones to prepare for." she tells me. "That's great. Thank you." I tell her. "Good luck and let me know if you need anything." she tells me before ending the call.

I am in the middle of studying for my Statistics test when Koz knocks on my bedroom door. Walking in, he lays on the bed behind me and hugs me from behind. "What are you studying?" he asked. "I have a Statistics test coming up." I tell him. "Oh. I was going to see if you wanted to hang out." he says. "Just give me a little bit and we can do something." I say. "Mind if I hang here?" he says. Kissing him softly, I say "I'd like that." I get back to studying and a couple of hours later, I'm still studying. "Babe, let's go for a ride." he says. "Koz, I really need to study." I tell him. "Okay. I'm gonna head to the clubhouse. Call me later." he says before kissing me and heading out the door. I can tell he's not happy but I have to study. I need to be ready for this test.

A few hours later, I call Koz and he doesn't answer. Getting his voicemail, I leave a message. "Hey babe. I finally finished studying and was gonna see if you wanted to spend the night but you're not answering. Call me when you can." I say before hanging up. I try Hap's phone and he answers. "Hey babe." he says. "Hey, you seen Koz?" I asked. "No. He said he needed to clear his head. Took off a little while ago. Why?" he asked. "I think I pissed him off. He wanted me to go for a ride but I had to study." I say. "You been doing a lot of that lately." Hap says a little stiffly. "I have some important tests coming up I need to be ready for." I tell him. "More important than us?" he asked. "No but I need to be ready for these tests." I tell him. "Okay. I gotta go. Night little girl." he says before hanging up before I can respond. Shit.

I decide that I'll just do some more studying since I don't have anything else to do. Kelly comes to my door. "Hey sweetheart." she says. "Hey Ma." I say. "You okay?" she asked. "No. Koz is MIA. Pissed that I was choosing to study for some tests coming up instead of going for a ride with him. Called Hap and he was ill with me too. I think they're mad because I spend more time studying than spending time with them but Ma, I need to be ready for these tests. I've worked too hard to just slack off now." I tell her. "I know. Just give them time baby. It will work out." she says. "I hope so."

The next couple of weeks are filled with nothing but taking tests and hanging with the guys. They seem to not be so ill now that I am spending time with them. "You're not studying tonight?" Koz asked. "No. Had a couple of tests today so taking the night off. You guys wanna do something?" I asked and they smirk. Happy picks me up and carries me to the dorm where we all start to shed clothes and they take turns making love to me.

It's been a week since I took my last test and I have been so stressed out. The stress seems to be taking its toll on me and the guys. They barely speak to me now and it worries me. I got the email telling me that I passed all of my tests and that I will receive my degree a year early. I head to the clubhouse to tell the guys. I want them to be the first ones I tell.

Walking to the dorm that we share, I open the door to see them both tag teaming a croweater named Rita. "You sons of bitches." I say. I walk into the room and grab Rita by the hair and drag her to the door. "You ever come hear this clubhouse again, I'll gut you like a goddamned deer." I tell her and she runs off not bothering to grab her clothes. I look back at Hap and Koz and Koz says "Baby..." I hold up my hand to stop him. "Don't. Both of you get your shit out of my dorm." I say as I start back towards the main room. They chase after me and Hap grabs my arm before I can make it to my car. "Little girl..." he starts. "Don't, Hap. I don't want to hear it. You both said you'd be faithful and you lied." I said before getting into my car and heading home.

Walking in the door, I go to my room and start to sob. Kelly walks in and says "What happened?" She sits on the side of the bed and I sit up, wiping my eyes. "Why am I not enough?" I asked her. She looks at me confused. "I went to the clubhouse to tell the guys my news and they were hooking up with a croweater, in my bed." I tell her. "What?" she asked. "They said they'd be faithful and they lied." I tell her, sobbing again. "Oh honey. I'm so sorry." she says. She stays with me for a while when there's a knock on my bedroom door. Kelly opens it to see that Happy and Koz are standing there. "Can we talk?" Koz asked.

Kelly looks at me and I nod. Walking out she says "You're lucky I don't cut both your dicks off." They nod before walking into the room and closing the door. I sit there in silence trying to keep my emotions in check. "We're sorry little girl." Hap says and I just sit there. "Please say something." Koz says. I still just sit there. They sit on the bed and wait for me to respond. "You lied. You cheated on me. I got some good news today and can't even be happy about it because of you two. Just leave." I tell them. "What was your news?" Hap asked. "Not that it matters anymore but all the tests that I've been taking these last few weeks, have been for me to test out early. I got my degree a year early." I tell them. "That's great. We're proud of you." Koz says. "So proud you couldn't even cut me some slack knowing how important this was to me? You two were so selfish that you got mad because I was putting my education first." I say. "I should never have agreed to being with you two. I knew something was going to happen." I tell them. "Baby, we fucked up. Please don't end this." Koz says and I glare at him. "I didn't end this. You two did. Do you know how it makes me look? You two cheating on me in our home? Those whores are gonna think they don't have to respect me because you two disrespected me. I told you that cheating was a dealbreaker and you did it anyway. And in my bed." I tell them. "Just get out. I won't be at the clubhouse anymore unless I have to. Don't call me or text me." I say as the tears start to fall again. They leave without another word.

The next morning, I'm laying on the couch with the remote, staring at the TV. The door opens and I see Lorca walking in. "Hey kid. What's up?" he asked, sitting down beside me. I don't say anything. "You not studying?" he asked. "Nope." I say. "Hey, talk to me." he says concerned. "I got recommended to test out early. Got my degree a year early. Just waiting on it to be mailed." I tell him. "That's great Princess but why don't you seem happy about it?" he asked. "You didn't hear? While I'm stressing over the tests and getting my degree early, their busy banging croweaters in my bed at the clubhouse." I tell him. "Fuck. Are you serious?" he asked. "Yep. Thinking about packing my shit and leaving. Heading down to see Tig for a while." I say. "That what you really want?" he asked. "Can't handle seeing them. Only other option is to keep doing what I'm doing. Staying closed up here at the house." I tell him. "You can't do that. You need to show them that you won't stand for that. You know they've been moping around these last couple of days." he says. "I'm supposed to care?" I asked. Laughing, he says "Guess not." He sits with me a little longer before kissing my cheek and heading out.

Walking up to the clubhouse, Lorca walks over to Hap and Koz "Which one of you fuckers wants to go to the ring first?" he asked. "Look man..." Koz starts. "No. Not look man. You two hurt my sister. You promised you'd keep your dicks in your pants and couldn't even do that. She was busting her ass to finish school early and you two were cheating on her." he says before Lee comes around. "You two did what?" Lee asked. "Maci was taking her tests to graduate early. She's done with school and she walked in on these two fuckers banging a God damned croweater in her fucking dorm." Lorca says. "Are you fucking kidding me? Fuck the ring. Outside. Now." Lee says. They all head outside and Lorca starts beating the hell out of Koz while Lee lays into Happy. Neither really fighting back.

I sit and think about things for a while before I finally decide I need to get out. I go to my room and pack a couple of bags. I sit at my desk and write out a letter to my mom and dad.

Mom and Dad,

I'm writing this because I just can't do this shit anymore. I thought that I would be enough for them but guess not. I can't be around them but I can't stay cooped up in the house. I hope you both understand that I love you and couldn't ask for a better set of parents but I can't be here anymore. I packed a couple of bags and am heading out. I'll call when I get to where I'm going and let you know I'm safe. But please don't send out a search party. I don't want to be found.

Love, Maci

I place the letter on the coffee table in the living room before walking out to my car and heading out.
