Start over

Chapter 14

"The meeting starts in 10 minutes" Jackson announces to the gang while they are eating I assume because I'm currently in the back room waiting to meet them during the meeting. We left Jackson's house awhile ago and came to a warehouse that Jackson referred to as "the club" trying to make a joke. I decided I wasn't ready to meet the gang yet so I've been sitting back here thinking while they all ate. I mean am I ready to get back into this lifestyle? What if I get in trouble again? My thoughts were interrupted by a certain idiot.

"Hey how you feeling?" Jackson asked while sitting down next to me. "I don't know. I'm a little worried about getting back into this lifestyle" I say while looking down at my hands. "Look I know that the stuff that went down in Kentucky hurt you a lot. And I hate that so much and wish I could change it but I can't. But after everything that you have gone through you still want the best for the people around you. Which I really need some of that attitude around here. Also anything that you feel this gang is doing is against your morals come talk to me immediately and I'll fix it" Jackson says trying to lift my spirits and I hate to admit it but it worked. "Are you serious?" I ask hoping this gang will have some kind of morals compared to the last. "I promise" he says while giving me one of his award winning smiles. "Okay then I'm in" I say while giving him a hug.

"I'm going to introduce you to the gang. When I say your name walk out to the stage" Jackson tells me as he is about to walk out on stage. "Okay" I say waving him off. He gets on stage and starts his speech. "Hey guys! Today's meeting has been changed into a introduction to a new member" he says. The crowd cheers which makes me smile. "Our new member is an original. She started off her career with me back in Kentucky and she did more in the that branch than they would like to admit. She also has probably had more training and more practice than any person in this room" he says beaming. I smile to myself at his introduction. "I would like to introduce my little cousin, Chloe Martin" he says and with that I walk out on stage with as much confident as I can keep at that moment. Immediately all the guys start laughing and whispering to each other. I'm going to assume they are laughing since I'm a girl because I can't spot one girl in this ocean of men. One guy steps on stage and gets in my face. Jackson starts to stop him but I tell him to stop.

"Hey sweetheart. Let's see how bad you are" he says while smiling down at me. These guys really shouldn't underestimate me. "You are gonna wish you hadn't stepped on this stage" I say before I grab his arm and flip him to the floor with a quick motion. Everyone goes silent. I bring the big guys arm to behind his back. "How bad are you, sweetheart?" I ask in a mocking tone before I kick him off to the side of the stage. I walk up to the mic and take it from a smirking Jackson. "Anyone else want to question me?" I ask they all stay silent. "Good. Now Jackson continue with the meeting please" I say giving him back the mic.

After going over some business that wasn't really that important the meeting was adjourned. I walk up to Jackson to see him talking to the guy who got in my face on stage. "Hey big guy" I say greeting the guy. "Hey there fiesty. I'm Brad. I have to say I'm impressed" he says while we shake hands. "Thanks. And sorry I had to use you as an example for the rest." I say smirking. "No problem. I deserved it" he says while shrugging. "Hey I have someone I want you to meet" Jackson says pulling me toward a group of people. "Hey Ryder. Come here dude" I hear Jackson say. My eyes go wide and I really hope it's not who I think it is. "Hey what's up?" A voice I immediately recognize says. I step out from behind Jackson and look at the jerk himself. "Hey princess" he says smirking at me. Jackson seems confused as to why I haven't punched him yet. "Jackson this is my roommate Ryder" I say with my face in my hands. "Oh my gosh. You're kidding right?" Jackson says while trying to stifle a laugh. "Oh well I'll leave you two I need to go make a phone call. But cuz you are still staying over tonight right?" Jackson asks with a smirk. "Yes I am,douchebag" I say with annoyance laced in my voice. After that he runs off.

"So you're joining the gang?" He asks me as if he wasn't just at the meeting. "Of course why else would I be here" I say in a "duh" tone. "I just meant I've heard about you from stories Jackson has told me but he also mentioned how he never thought you would rejoin the gang." He says looking kind of nervous. "I wasn't going to ever join again if it weren't for Jackson asking me to" I say in a very nonchalant way. "How long have you been in the gang?" I ask curious to the answer. "1 year. These guys are like my family" he says. "That's good. I'm assuming this is where you got the cuts." I say eying him. "Messed up at practice" is all he says with a shrug. I look around and can't help what comes out of my mouth. "The last gang me and Jackson were part of they were just in it for themselves and that's why I left" I say while shrugging. "That's sucks. Jackson mentioned something about how you left after an incident but never went into detail" he says making me relax a bit knowing he didn't know my story. "It's going to stay like that" I say walking away to find Jackson.
