Inferno Demon Riders MC: My Five Obsessed Bullies novel Chapter 53

Blythe’s P.O.V.

“Ow Owww girl!” Cami called out as soon as Karma left the room.

“You and Prez….” Ann chimed in, wiggling her eyebrows.

“I thought you were Team CG?” Cami asked her.

“I thought you were Team Havoc?” Ann shot back.

“And I’m Team Blythe,” Isla said, pulling her chair closer to me.

“Thank you,” I whispered to her.

“They mean well,” she told me.

“I know, but it’s annoying and so are all your sons,” I grumbled.

Isla snorted.

“Here, have a drink of Willow’s homemade jungle juice,” she said, placing a plastic cup in front of me.

I grabbed it, took a drink, and was happy as hell that it tasted good.

“Wow, it’s delicious,” I said.

“Hey thanks!”

I looked up to see a girl a few chairs down smiling at me. She had short brown hair with streaks of purple throughout it and dark eyes that looked almost black. She looked around my age, and she had a friendly vibe about her.

“I’m Willow by the way,” she told me. “It’s nice to finally actually meet you.”

“Yeah no kidding,” another girl I didn’t recognize said. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes. She was also very pregnant. “The guys totally steal her attention every second of every day.”

I tried not to blush. I hated that other people were noticing. It already felt weird enough. I mean multiple guys, one girl… God, Silent Divine really did turn me into a whore.

“I’ve been looking forward to talking to you though,” the pregnant girl said with a smile. “I don’t know if you remember me, but we went to school together. I was a grade above you.”

Now that she mentions it, she looks familiar.

“You helped me that one time when I got jumped in the bathroom,” I said. “Nova, right?”

Nova’s smile faltered slightly before she caught herself and nodded to me.

“Yeah, that’s me,” she said.

“Damn, you got jumped in the bathroom at school?” Another girl I didn’t know asked. She’s gorgeous; brown curly hair that’s completely natural and beautiful, and hazel eyes that pop against her dark skin. She looks like a goddess.

“Uhm, well, I mean, they beat me up.” I mumbled.

“Fuck those sluts anyway,” she slurred, raising her glass to me before tossing it back.

“You’ll have to forgive Maddie,” another girl I didn’t know said. “She likes to get lit during our girls‘ nights.”

“Oh, that’s okay,” I replied.

“I’m Hazel,” she told me with a kind smile. Kindness seemed to radiate from her too. She had a gentleness about her that I really liked. Her thick brown hair was cut at her shoulders, and her light brown eyes were sparkling. She had freckles all over her face and arms. And she was also pregnant. Not as pregnant as Nova, but obviously showing. “Sorry that you haven’t seen much of us around.”

“Oh, that’s okay,” I said. “I get it. You guys had a rule to act like I didn’t exist.”

“Well, we weren’t avoiding you, that’s for sure,” Willow mumbled.

“Yeah, like we’d ever fucking listen to a rule like that,” Maddie chimed in, giggling at nothing.

“Seriously, those guys are fucking idiots,” Nova grumbled. “Fucking pricks. No wonder why Diesel took me on a surprise get–away. I would have blown a fuse if I had known, and nobody would have said shit because I’m pregnant.”

“Hazel’s pregnant too and she was here,” Maddie said with her face scrunched up.

“Reaper didn’t let me out of the house for days,” Hazel replied. “I thought he was just being overbearing like usual. Believe me, when I found out, he got an earful.”

“I beat Clutch’s ass and made him sleep on the porch with a busted lip,” Maddie said. “He’s been on the couch since.”

“Yeah, I threw a lamp at Breaker and Doc had to give him five stitches,” Willow said with a laugh. “Now all the guys have been teasing him about it because of his road name.”

“You guys all… cared that much?” I asked, a little bit shocked.

They all turned to me, the room going silent for a beat. And then they all started talking at once.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” From Maddie.

“It’s inhumane! We would never agree to something like that! It’s downright bullying, and we’re better than that!” From Nova.

“Fuck that! You’re still a person! Just because they got their feelings hurt like a bunch of babies doesn’t mean they can just treat you however they want!” From Willow.

“Honestly, who would even be okay with treating someone that way?” Hazel grumbled.

I sputtered out a laugh and quickly covered my mouth.

“Sorry,” I said. “It’s just… I wasn’t expecting to have anyone on my side.”

“Well, there are other ol‘ ladies,” Nova said. “Ones we don’t invite, that you probably won’t get along with, that most likely already don’t like you because of Everly and Alex.”

“But don’t worry,” Hazel said. “We don’t judge until we know someone.”

I smiled at them.

“Unfortunately, I have fucking things to do,” he slurred slightly.

Wait, is he drunk?

“Then maybe just stay away from the club altogether,” I replied.

Havoc narrowed his pretty honey eyes at me.

“This is my fucking club, not yours,” he spat angrily. “Nobody even wants you here anyway.”

Ouch.

I mean, I knew it already, but…

I looked away from Havoc as tears filled my eyes. He’s such a jerk. Always has been. At least, since our parents have been together. Before though… Before, when he was just Evander to me… He was so sweet all the time. In fact, I would have thought Evander was the sweetest out of all of them. He was quiet and definitely not as pushy as Tae or Ozias, but he was so sweet. He would bring me my favorite drinks to school and leave them on my desk. He would buy me lunch without me even asking. He’d be the first to wrap me in his jacket when I was cold.

What changed? Could it really just be the fact that he hates being my stepbrother? Why be so cruel to me though? Why still be this way?

“You’re going to cry now? Really?” Havoc said, sounding annoyed and angry. “When no one else is around, huh? Fucking figures. You were always a crybaby. We were way too soft on you when we were kids.”

I nodded and looked up at him with a forced smile as tears spilled from my eyes.

“Is this the part when you sneak me out and send me b–back?” I asked, trying to keep my voice from trembling.

Havoc blinked at me for a moment, apparently at a loss for words. Which made me panic slightly. It was exactly how he acted before when he…

“P–please Havoc…” I whispered as my hands started to shake. “P–please… I–I’ll leave if you want, but… p–please don’t m–make me go back there again.”

Again, he just stared at me.

“I—I’ll scream,” I said, starting to really feel panicked. “I–Isla… sh–she won’t l–let you do this… I–I…”

She won’t, right? Isla… Cami… Ann… they’d never… Right?

What if they would? What if they’re all just waiting for Daniel and Sean to get here? What if this is just how they keep me complacent until then?

“Bly-”

“N–n–no,” I said, shaking my head and squeezing my eyes shut. “I–I’d rather die then go back there.”

Suddenly, strong arms wrapped around me and I melted. I hated it, but I couldn’t help it. I’ll just blame the alcohol. Because there’s no reason I should feel this safe in Havoc’s arms.

There’s no reason I should feel safe ever.
