Chapter 300
Once everyone finishes eating, we all break off into groups. Hazel goes over to talk to mom and dad, and I just stand to the side inside Dallas’s cell.
I take a deep breath, being here, with everyone really hasn’t been as bad as I was expecting. At this point I’m glad I can’t bake, because it was a fun topic people seem to enjoy making fun of. Anything’s better than the awkward silence I expected pointed my way.
Aspen walks over to me, leaning her back against the wall across from me. “You, okay?” She whispers and I give her a curt nod. She looks out at everyone outside the cell and a small smile crosses her face.
“I wish Heather was here.” She whispers and I nod. “Not a full family dinner, is it?” I ask her and she looks back at me. “No, but it’s close enough. She would have loved this though. She hated what happened to our family. Prayed for things to go back to normal. I just wish she was here to see this.” She tells me and I grit my teeth, but nod.
Though I don’t think she’d handle mom being locked behind a cage well. She’d probably handle it as well as my dad is, and that’s not well. But I don’t say that. Regardless of that small detail she’s right. The last time we were all together like this was after we found my parents again, and no one was handling things well at that point.
My head looks up at the cell door and I see Hazel standing there. She walks into the cell and waves her hand over the bars.
I look at her confused, what is happening?
“They can’t hear us.” She tells me, and I look over at everyone as they look at us confused as well. I turn back to her and tilt my head. “What is this?” I ask her and her eyes harden.
“I just want you to know that you will not hurt my boys. You may know their secrets, but what happened to me, will not happen to them.” She says sternly, and I stand off the wall and look at her. “Hazel… I was wrong. I know that. No apology I make will ever make right what I did to you, but I promise you I would never hurt Finn and Randy.” I tell her and she shakes her head.
“You’ve done a lot of things that I never would have imagined you being capable of, Griffon. But my boys are where I draw the line. You touch a hair on their heads, and we will leave. I’ll stop helping. We’ll leave and you’ll never see any of us again.” She growls and my eyes widen.
“Hazel…” She cuts me off with a shake of her head. “I don’t care what you have to say. What you did to me… My family… This pack…” She pauses looking down, then back up. “Everyone else may have found a way to give you a free pass, but I don’t know if I ever will.” She finishes and I just stare at her.
Aspen walks passed her and stands in front of me. “Maybe you’ll listen to what I have to say then. He messed up. We all know it; he even knows it. He’s admitted it and has tried to make things better.
Weather you like it or not, he’s apart of this family, just as much as we all are. What I feel none of you understand is how much of his life he’s lived having to be perfect. Having to be the protector. As soon as he was born, he was on the run.
In charge of keeping his mom and sister safe. Then when something traumatic happens to him, something we can’t even imagine, happens. We expected him to just walk it off?
