Chapter Twenty-Seven
Leo
I left my fire suit unzipped as I headed out the door of my RV, only to come face to face with my brother. The one person I was hoping to avoid. I didn’t want to argue with him or fight about Andy. Especially when everyone could hear us. Family drama was our business and no one else’s. Sometimes the gossip around the track was worse than the WAGs chat.
“You look tired,” was the first thing out of Noel’s mouth.
I rolled my eyes and pushed past him. “I had a late night.”
After Andy had fallen asleep, I had stayed up for quite some time, just watching him and making sure he didn’t have any nightmares. It had only happened once before, the night of his eighteenth birthday, and I was able to calm him down. We never told either of his parents. Maybe we should have. It might have changed things. Helped him before things went the way they did.
“Don’t let him ruin your future, Leopold.” Noel caught me by the arm, and I came to a stop.
I shrugged out of his grip. “Is that what you think is going to happen? That Andy is going to ruin my career? That’s rich coming from you.” I folded my arms over my chest as I glared at him.
“What? No, I just... Last time... You almost lost your ride. Just because we’re friends with Watts and Killian doesn’t mean they’re going to hold your job for you. There are plenty of other drivers out there who want a chance at the big time who don’t have extra baggage.”
I closed my eyes and tried not to explode. “My job is the least of my concerns right now,” I hissed through clenched teeth.
“Leo, I know you think that I’m being an asshole about this, which I am, but I love you. That’s why I’m doing this.”
