Chapter 28: Their Little World

‘Tonight could be the night’ I thought as Sidney and I rolled the surface of my bed. Each kiss growing more hungry with passion than the next. My mind was going wild with the thought of having sex with him. How would it be? Would I be okay? Would it hurt?

My thoughts were interrupted by the loud sounds screaming from my phone. I cursed the caller in that moment. Sid moved his kisses down to my neck as he tried to keep me from moving. “Ignore it..” his raspy voice hushed as his breath pressed against my neck.

I moved to check my phone’s front screen. “It’s Megan...I have to...” he sighed as I moved to pick up the phone and I was met with loud sobs on the other end. I tried to listen carefully to everything Megan was saying.

“What happened, Harley?” Sid asked quietly form his spot on the bed. I looked over at Sidney’s worried eyes. “I don’t know...I’m trying to find out. But Jordan’s got her crying, Sid.” I turned back to the phone and soon Sid had his arm on my lower back and I brushed my hand over the receiver.

“Baby.. I’m gonna go find Jordan” he whispered placing a quick kiss on my forehead. I nodded as he found his out the window. I stayed on the phone for quite a while. We were interrupted once, but I just assumed it was one of the brother’s.

I had just hung up with Megan when I got a text from Sid saying to check on Megan. It all clicked in my mind right then, I realized that I was done being a bystander, and that this little ‘game’ Jordan and Megan were playing had to stop. Now.

I grabbed by jacket and keys and sauntered my way down the lattice of roses. I jumped into my car and dashed my way across town to Megan’s. The lights were dimmed when I walked past the pool and up to the door.

I knocked and Megan was there quickly. I moved us both back into the house and wouldn’t let her sink back into sorrow.
“Stop this right now and get changed” I ordered in a very un-harley manor. Her big eyes, full of red looked at me in shock and pain. But I stood my ground.
“I’m taking you somewhere to do something, that is long over due.” As she looked at my general body language, she caught onto the fact that I wouldn’t be leaving until she was as well.

She came back out in a leather jacket and black torn leggings. She shoved her feet into work boots that matched mine and slumped her way out of the house. We sat, staring straight out the window, not saying a word the whole way there.

She looked at me with shock.
“Why are we at diesel?” I looked at her them moved to get out of the car. I came around to her side where she was cautiously trying to figure out my next move. I was on a mission. I grabbed her hand and dragged her through the back entrance where I had come to have pull.
I spotted the group in the club like a sore thumb. I pulled in resistance as I marched up the stairs to the VIP section where I saw Max doing some crazy mentor speech with a lot of hand motions.

I coughed behind them all and they looked up in surprise. Sidney jumped up once he saw me, but I discretely put my hand up to signal him to wait. I left Megan to weasle my way through to Jordan. I grabbed his wrist and tried with all my might to pull him to his feet.

After pulling back, he gave into my adrenaline rushed face and got up. I then lashed onto Megan hand and pulled them both with me. I found a quiet corner and took in a breath for good luck. This could make or break.


“I’m done watching you guys hurt each other” I started as I watched them both avoid eye contact.
“You guys clearly have commitment issues, which I can’t control. But what I can control is the message that’s sent across right now to the both of who are too chicken shit to do it yourselves.” I took in another breath continuing through their silence.
“Jordan..” I said turning to him, as he looked up from under his lashes. “It’s pretty damn obvious that your completely, and fully in love with Megan but are too scared. You worry about rejection, or even being the first one to admit it. But you want to know the truth? Megan loves you back, but she’s too scared and stubborn to listen to her heart.” I turned to Megan who was completely lost for words.

“And you Megan... Jordan is the only one who you have been this happy with. And your just going to let him go? If that is the case... Then... Then you’re not the girl I thought you were. And the confidence you Have been able to produce in me is fake. Because I thought I was copying you. Which right no does not seem like the case.” I took a deep breath and looked towards the tables and saw everyone looking at me with equally shocked faces.

“I’m just done watching you guys pretend like there’s nothing there. Now tomorrow’s Marc’s wedding. And I’m going. Wether you guys figure this all out or not after I leave. Because Megan is my date, and I’m not wasting a perfectly good dress on a bunch of denial between you both.” I nodded in satisfaction and turned to hug Megan motionless body.

“You’ll thank me one day. See you tomorrow” I whispered.

And as I felt a tear slip from her eye onto my shoulder I release my grip and made my way back out to the rest of the world. Hoping this little piece of it would turn out the way I knew everyone wanted.
