Can love save a life? (Mc romance)

06 - Heartache

Xavier's heart ached, this morning was amazing. Hearing Brooke laugh and seeing her smile just made him love her even more.

The girl he had been waiting and literally had been searching for his whole life was within arms reach yet didn't remember anything from her past.

He watched out the window earlier that day to see her tearing up the grass track. She looked at home on her bike but what he didn't miss was that vacant look that was in her eyes. A look which would haunt him.

So he did what he always did and turned to the bottle. He needed something to at least numb the pain in his heart.

"Table in 5 boys" Alexander, his father and president of the club shouted as he walked through the clubhouse.

Staring at the bottle as he ran his hair through his now messy hair.

He needed to get his head straight but he was struggling.

Feeling a hand on his shoulder he glanced up to see James looking at him with concern shining in his eyes as he saw all the empty bottles that surrounded Xavier.

Yes he was drowning his sorrows alongside trying to numb the pain.

"Bro get your ass up and get to the table" James said "this isn't helping, you, Brooke or anyone in fact"

"What the hell am I meant to do?" Xavier snapped as he downed the rest of the beer, signally the prospect behind the bar for another bottle or two.

As soon as he had the bottles he made his way to the table, taking his seat at the right of his father

As soon as the table was full and the doors had been closed, Alex slammed the gavel down.

"So as you are all aware we finally have our Brooke home after many years of pain and searching" Alex smiled but it quickly faltered. "But this isn't going to be an easy journey for the princess, from what she has said she doesn't remember much due to blocking out a lot of her memories" there was sorrow in his voice as he spoke.

"Craig managed to get some brief information about what had happened over the last thirteen years of his daughter's life and from what he has told me things haven't been pretty" Alex sighed.

"Could have told you that from her nightmare" Xavier mumbled under his breath causing his father to glare at his son.

"Over the last thirteen years Brooke had been in and out of group homes and foster homes" Craig sighed "but the one that caused her the most pain was the first one based along the north coast. I didn't get much information before she panicked and ran"

"Do we have a name?" Xavier asked as he looked over at Craig and James, tears burnt his eyes.

"She said she thinks his name was Tom" Craig said.

Instantly anger ran through Xavier's veins, he blood boiled. He had a taste for blood, for revenge and to make this bastard pay.

As soon as Craig said this guys name he knew exactly who was going to be at the brunt of his anger.

Standing up he launched his beer bottle at the wall, watching the gas shatter and the beer run down the wall.

"Xavier Alexander Reynolds" Alex shouted at his son "sit your fucking ass down and calm the hell down"

"Do you know who the fuck she is talking about?" Xavier spat back "you do know the person who caused our bumble bee so much pain and suffering"

As soon as he saw the look on his fathers face he regretted his outburst.

"First of all you do not talk to your president like that boy" Alex raged with anger laced in every word "but more importantly you don't talk to your goddamn father like that. Now get the fuck up from this table and calm your self down"

Xavier rolled his eyes, kicking the chair back with so much force it shattered against the wall.

He stormed out of the room heading straight to the bar, swiping a bottle of whiskey before he retreated to his office. As soon as he closed the door to the office he brought the bottle to his lips, feeling the familiar burn running down his throat.

Anger was all he felt right now as he kicked his desk over. He had only been in the office for around half an hour but it looked like someone had raided it with the state of it.

Somehow in his fit of rage he had ripped his kutte off. Grabbing the leather he stormed out of the office slamming the door behind him causing a couple of photos to fall onto the floor.

There was only ever one person that could calm him down, but that person didn't remember him.

"Xavier sweetheart" his mum shouted after him "where are you going?"

"To the fucking club" Xavier spat "don't wait up"

James ran his hand over his face. He knew Xavier was struggling, maybe more than anyone else. He knew that even though they were younger Brooke held Xavier's heart.

The fire that was held for his little sister had been burning for many years.

"Alex, you said it was a compound along the north coast" James said "and goes by the name of Tom?"

Alex and Craig nodded, as James ran his hand through his hair as he tried to think who it could be.

Then it hit him. There was only one person along the north coast with that name.

"Guys this is bad, really fucking bad" James sighed "if I'm correct then there is a club on the north coast, with a Vice President called Tom" his voice was barely a whisper as he started to feel sick at the thought.

"The devils riders" Craig breathed. "Alex this is worse than we thought. We have my little girl back but if he realises that she's back in the country then who knows what he will do. And I feel that we don't quite know the full story"

"Right someone start tracking this son of a bitch and find out everything we need to know because we are going to kill this bastard" Alex said slamming the gavel down signalling the meeting was over.

"I need to find Xav" James sighed "before he does something stupid, reckless and gets himself killed"

"He went to the club James" Lilly said running her hands through her hair.

"Fuck" James sighed as he ran to his bike, he needed to find Xavier before he went into a massive downward spiral of self destruction. There was only one place Xavier would go. The dive bar on the strip. James just hoped he wasn't too late.

The last time Xavier went on a self destruct mission it was on his twenty first birthday.

After yet another dead end in the search for Brooke he took his bike and went to this dive bar.

That night was hard for everyone, one thing was for sure no one would forget that night. Not when Xavier rode drunk, completely totalling his Harley and ended up in emergency surgery.

So when he saw the look in Lilly's eyes he knew he needed to do something and do something fast.
