Angel's POV

I've been back for a few hours and the who's who of the club have all already come by to greet me. They say "The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back." And it's true.

I knew when I left it was probably not the smartest thing to do, but I was happy because I know it needed to be done. Now that I'm back, I can barely remember why I left in the first place.


"I can't believe you guys are actually dating," Angel said perplexed as she watched Braun expertly lift Alexa off the bike he was currently working on. She watched as he placed a sweet kiss on her nose, before focusing his attention back on his bike.
"Yeah, well… what can I say? He grew on me," Alexa smiled.
"No fucking kidding," Angel responded, squinting up at Braun, who somehow managed to grow an extra few feet since high school.

"Is this how it's gonna be? You two ganging up on me like back in the day?" Braun asked.
"Oh babe, come on… we're grown now," Alexa said sweetly as she passed her boyfriend a rag to wipe his brow.
"Fucking great," Braun mumbled.
"Oh I know you missed me too, ya big baby," Angel said smiling.


"Where's my angel?" a voice said a few hours later. I smiled and turned around, running out of the clubhouse. I jumped off the porch steps and launched myself into the arms of one of the people I had missed the most.

"Daddy," I responded, as tears began rolling down my cheek.

He set me back on the porch and his blue eyes met mine.

"I hope that vacation was terrible because you're never leaving again," Eric said, half-joking.
"Don't worry," I said as we headed back into the house. "I think I'm gonna stick around for a while."

"She's not going anywhere," Alexa threatened as she peaked her head out of the fridge. "I think we need to go on a beer run before tonight."
"Oh, I'll go," I said as my head shot up. I looked between my father, best friend, and brother who all had weary looks on their faces.

"Oh come the fuck on, guys. I'm going to the store. It's not like I'm going 'out for cigarettes' never to return," I teased, but stopped when I saw the serious looks on their faces. "Alright, too soon to joke. Come on Lex, let's go," I said, lightly pushing her out the house.

The second we were outside we heard the rumbling of rumbling bikes. My heart began racing as I heard the familiar sound once again.

"Let's go, Angel Jaymes," Alexa said, slightly rushing me to her car. I opened the passenger door and made eye contact with him for just a moment before ducking into Alexa's beetle.

"You okay?"

I knew Alexa was gonna ask me that once we got far enough, but I didn't know how to answer. So I just shrugged and stared out the window.

"I'm fine, Lex… not like it matters anyway," I said, mumbling the last part.

I know some of these might be a little short, each chapter is going to be done from different peoples' point of views, hope you're liking it!
