Chapter One

Autumn

I wasn't perfect. I was the first one to admit that, I was a girl that had been through a lot of shit and had come out the other side. I was the girl that people looked at with pity .

And at the age of seventeen I think I had more life experience than the average teenager.

My father died in a motorcycle accident when I was eleven. It shook my world, to the core. It changed who I was as a person.

It shaped my adolescents with most of it spent on new antidepressant medication, till we found one that worked.

At seventeen I took a regular medication. Depression, everyone goes through it. Mine however was worse , because of the grief of losing my father.

Which brought me to Hawk.

He took my Mom under his wing.

He took us kids under his protection. Hawk was the Mother Chapter president of Australia. He went to lengths- great ones, to make sure us kids want for nothing.

He was the man that helped my mom get over my dad's death. He was the man that let her cry on his shoulder for hours while us kids played with the latest gift he brought.

He was my father's best friend.

He was a man of pride and honour. He was the type of man that would pick me up from ballet. Even though every person near the studio was terrified of the beast known as Hawk, with his short mohawk.

He was the man that took me to doctors appointments when my mom had to work because she refused to let him pay our way. Gifts were one thing, but there was a time there before mom and Hawk got in a relationship, that she wouldn't let him pay the bills.

But all that was changing now. And as he said, it took him a hell of a long time for him to get his princess.Which is what he called mom.

I was eleven when he stepped in as a father figure and now I was seventeen as they married each other.

My eyes were on my mom who was chain smoking in our living room.

"Mom come on, calm down." I grinned, I'd never seen her this worked up before.

"Hawk loves you, he isn't going to stand you up."

She gave me a dry expression. "He would have been drinking last night."

"Yes but I highly doubt the man who has dedicated six years to getting that ring on your finger is going to do anything to screw it up." I placed my hands on her shoulders. "Calm down and get ready the car will be nearly here."

"Autumn." Mom said my name, the emotions strong in her tone. "This doesn't mean I don't still love your father."

"I know that." And I held back tears. "So does Jacob," and Mom I paused and felt my heart cracking just a tad. "We will always love him, but he's dead, and your forever with him ended then. Now you are getting another beginning and Dad would want that."

Her hand went to my cheek. "When did you get so wise?"

"Maybe the same day my mom admitted she has feelings for the mother chapter president." I winked at her. Her and I both knowing she had a meltdown the day it happened.

She butted her cigarette out. "Okay, I've got this."

"Yes you do."

Courtney, my best friend burst into the room with the flowers. "Okay guys, the cars are here." She had a wide grin on her face,she was wearing contacts for the wedding. Usually she always had her glasses, which suited her but she insisted on wearing contacts for the wedding. Her red hair was styled the same as mine, and both our eyes went to my mom- who suddenly realised this was actually happening.
