Wall Around Her Heart novel Chapter 5

I walked across the street to Tammy's house. I knocked on her door and she opened it, smiling. But I noticed that the smile did not reach her eyes. Come in Aunt Queen. I walked into the house. I liked what she had done with the inside. I followed her to the kitchen where we sat at the table drinking coffee. Tammy, I need to know what you're running from?

A man. An awfully bad man, Aunt Queen. If he finds me, he is going to hurt me badly before he kills me. Who is this man? His name is Larry. I stood up and took my shirt off and lifted my skirt and showed her my leg. He took a knife and dug it into my skin and gave me this scar.

Aunt Queen, you don't know the people he knows. He is very convincing. He acts like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. He is evil. I let tears slide down my cheek. I loved him once. But that ended the day I told him I was pregnant. He beat me, punching me in the stomach, then he threw me down the stairs. He left me bleeding and left the house.

I had a miscarriage. When the doctor told me that I might not be able to conceive another child, I left him. I ran, and I am still running today. But the doctor did not say you could not have a child. He said, might not be able to conceive. Well, anyway when I heard that I decided to stay away from men. What are you afraid of Tammy?

That all men are the same, I said. Honey, not all men abuse women. The men in our club would never abuse a woman. They hate men that do. You should come over to the club and meet some of our club members. I can't. I can't be round a lot of men at one time. I looked down at my hands. I am scared. Please, no one will hurt you, I promise.

I want you to meet my husband. Well, I said smiling. He is your uncle since I am your aunt, and we are married. He is the president of the club. His name is Savage. He is not savage to those he cares about. However, he can be savage to those who hurt the people he cares about. He would love to meet you. He was so happy for me when I found out you lived in town.

Well, Tammy, he said grabbing her and hugging her. Welcome home. If your my Queens little girl then you are my little girl. I was shocked. This big biker was telling me, I was his little girl. I hugged him back and said in a soft voice. Thank you. Savage let her go and sat next to his queen. We need to have a welcome home BBQ, introduce her to the family.

My aunt smiled and said. We can heave one this weekend. I watched as the queen clapped her hands. This is going to be a happy day. Wait, she said we need her to have a vest. It can read, the daughter of Savage. What do you think Savage? I stood up and yelled, shut the fuck up. I want you to meet Queen's and my daughter. Tammy. He pulled me in front of him.

Tammy, is the only family queen has but, now she is our daughter. Please say yes, Tammy, Queen said. I looked at my aunt with love and said. If it makes you happy. It does. Instead of my niece, you are now our daughter. We need a road name for you. Tiny, Beast said looking them. Tiny? Why Tiny? Look at her next to all the club members. She is really tiny. Tiny it is. Order the vest now Savage yelled.
