Night Rider MC novel Chapter 4

We looked over at mom and saw the tears on her face. "How could we do that to Star."

"We didn't even get her gifts, or go watch her let alone give her a party."

"She really must hate us."

"Panther, I think the girls really meant what they said."

Ace, said. "They broke up with us."

"Where do you think they will take Star?"

"I don't know Ace."

Everyone in the club no longer felt like celebrating. The kids that graduated felt bad. They did not realize that Star was alone, and had no party.

We all heard Grace. "Now you all know why Star hates us."

"And you Gunner, she really hates you."

"Not once have you gone over there to get to know Star."

"Who, by the way will be your step daughter."

"But she won't claim you."

"After all, she doesn't even know her mother is getting married."

I laughed and looked at my brother. My mom and dad looked at Gunner in anger. They did not even know that Brandy had a daughter.

"She didn't know that her mother was getting married tomorrow."

"Now isn't that something?"

"It is as if Star doesn't exist."

"She hates your guts Gunner."

"I need to go and talk to Star."

I walked over to the house and up the stairs. I opened Stars door and was shocked. I saw her room stripped and boxes stacked along the wall. Star was going to leave and not tell any of us. But, I can't blame her.

We just started going across the street and not bringing her with us. I sat down on the bed and cried. My daughter hates me now. I never even told her I had started dating Gunner and was going to marry him.

I took the box out and lay it on the bed side table with the card. It was a neckless. A heart with a flaming stone in the middle of it. I hoped she would wear it and throw it back in my face.

I woke up and sat up holding my head. I saw the small box and card on my table. I opened the card and read it.

"My name is Ripper, I am the VP of the Wild Rider MC. I wanted to give you this for your graduation but you would not talk to me. Please wear it and remember that some of us did and still do want you to come over to the club. Think of me in a kind way. Ripper.

I lay the card down and opened the box. I took a breath. It was beautiful. I put it around my neck and thought of Ripper. I smiled. So, that is his name. I know he watches me a lot, but I don't talk to him. I always seem to slam the door in his face, give him the finger, or an icy stare.

I stood up and some aspirin. Before I showered for my appointments. I went to the kitchen and made something to eat. I saw the gifts on the table but ignored them. Now they want to think about me. Not thanks. I got into the car and drove to town.

I found the apartment I wanted. I knew mom was getting married in an hour. I waited for her ceremony to start before I drove home.

I waited for the four men to show up to load my things up to take to my apartment. I lay the key to the house on the table. I drove my car to the apartment.

Once everything was unloaded and placed into the apartment I called a cab and went back to my mom's house and got my bike. I then drove to the furniture store.

I bought a couch, rocking chair, end tables, kitchen table and chairs. I paid for them before walking out the door and driving back to my apartment.

I called work and asked to change to the night shift. I start next Monday. I opened the door as the truck with my furniture arrived. Once they left I moved my furniture where I wanted it.

Everything was in its place. I walked to the kitchen where I made coffee, and a sandwich, then walked to the living room and sat them on the table. I sat down and turned the TV on. I watched "Law and Order." and fell asleep on the couch.
