Fuck me.
We can hear Dagger and Axel playing the footage. Bones' voice echoes through the phone, making Star flinch. "STARRY..."
Axel's voice echoes through my speakers: "There's hundreds of footage here, Star."
She nods.
"That's because I've been watching him for years. Axel, I need you to somehow get the council brothers, including the old timers except for Doc, to Illinois as soon as possible. Zayne can ping you at our location. You need to arrive in the dead of night. Hairy has an obsession with me now, so he can't know you willall be here. Don't let anyone know you are leaving the clubhouse; make up an excuse. Inform Doc, but keep him from coming. He was best friends with my dad, so we can't risk him going crazy. I’d say to try and convince your dad to stay back too, but I somehow doubt he would."
I bite my lip, feeling so fucking confused as Dagger speaks, "I have so many questions, Star. Is this why he went after you?"
She tilts her head a little, and I can see she wants to lie to help ease our guilt, and I shake my head at her. She needs to say it as it is, so she sighs, "No, it was a coincidence that I turned out to be who I was. He knew I asked about him, but he thought it was because I had remembered him and I was going to rat him out. He came for me because I was Zayne's girl."
I butted in, "You are still my girl, Firefly."
She sighs and shakes her head. "Get everyone to my flat Axel then I'll tell you everything, and I mean everything."
He sighs. "Alright, we'll be there tomorrow afternoon." He's quiet for a few moments before he speaks again: "We missed you, Starfish." Axel hangs up while Star smiles a little before looking at me, and I shake my head.
"I guess it's your turn for some truths, huh, Firefly."
She smiles again and nods. "Yep, and now you have to drive eight hours back to my flat because my head is pounding from your sedatives, which I plan to now sleep off."
I curse while she laughs, getting back into the car. Shaking my head, I follow her lead before heading back to her flat, ready to hear some of her home truths, not knowing how I'll handle them.
Chapter 18
Star
It took us ten hours instead of eight to get to my flat, thanks to our boy wanting to get out and play. I quickly bathed and fed him before putting on Charlie and the numbers for him. He loves the songs and adorably claps to them.
I quickly have a shower, still stinking of café food, before getting into my signature leggings and Zayne's top, a new one that I stole out of his bag before heading to my small bathroom. I go into my bland living room, which I haven't even decorated, to see Zayne sitting on the floor with our son.
"Dadadada."
He grins wide upon hearing him say dada while I shake my head. "All the months I carried him, the hours I pushed him out, and he says dada first?"
Zayne chuckles before he looks at me; his eyes darken when he sees I took another shirt off his, but I ignore the look as we hear the rumbles of several bikes, and I swallow hard while Zayne smiles. We wait in silence before my buzzer goes off, and I let them in before we hear several boots coming up the stairs. I unlock my door, opening it before going over to Theo, knowing his grandfather is about to meet him for the first time. I pick him up, making him squeal and grin at me while Zayne standsbehind me, his hand going to my hip. An electric current shocks through me at his touch.
This would be so much easier if I could feel nothing for him and just switch my feelings off.
Axel was the first one to walk in all geared up in his biker gear, followed by Dagger, Dead Shot, Stormy, Ink, Hawk, Gunner, Butch, Brick, and Slicer. They all come to a halt, seeing the baby in my arms, their mouths hanging open before Tank enters the room, and lastly, closing the front door and locking it. His eyes go wide seeing his sons double in my arms, and my eyes well up with tears while Zayne squeezes my hip. "Dad," he says, getting his father's attention, "I'd like you to meet your grandson, Theodore Mathew Silver's, Theo for short."
He lets out a gasp for breath, completely in shock, before I walk over to him while the brothers' mouths drop further open in shock. I gently pass Tank, his grandson, who goes to him willingly. It helps that he looks exactly like his daddy.
He gasps again, tears filling his eyes as Theo grips his cut, grinning his two teeth at him, and I smile before stepping back a little bit and looking at all the brothers. I'm aware that from what Zayne's told me, only Gunner, Dead Shot, Axel, Dagger, and Slicer know about what happened to me, so I guess I'll start at the beginning, but first,
I clear my throat. "Axel, call Snake, please." He furrows his brows in confusion but nods his head. Snake answers on the second ring,
"Axel?"
I clear my throat. "Snake, this is Star. I'm not sure if you know who I am…” He butts in, "Yeah, darling, I do, and I'm so fucking sorry." I flinch while the brothers who don't know look at me in confusion as Zayne grips my hip, and I swallow hard. "Okay,well, I have a story for you and all the council brothers here. Are you okay with staying on the line? You need to hear this."
He clears his throat. "Yeah, darling."
Zayne growls, and I roll my eyes while Snake chuckles at him as the brother's smirk which soon vanishes with my next words. "Okay, I need you all to stay quiet until I’ve finished, not one word, even if you all want to say something and kick off, and Tank is to keep a hold of his grandson because I know he'll keep him calm."
Everyone nods and murmurs in agreement, including Snake, and I take a deep breath.
