A New Beginning

Chapter 8

Picture of Blade

Blade POV

I walk into the bar and I notice this chick sitting behind Hammers bar talking to Whiskey. The first thing Hammer asks me, "Who the hell is that sitting behind my bar? I know I didn't give Whiskey the ok to hire anyone new especially someone who is not in the MC?" I walk towards the bar and see this girl look at me and my god she has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. I walk as fast as I can see and before I can think I scream "Who the hell are you?" She looks up all I can see is sorrow in her eyes. I shake my head since I know that is not an option now I need to figure out why she is in our bar. "My name is Hannah" Wow what a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. We have rules for a reason and protocol that needs to be followed. "Whiskey get your ass over here."

"What the HELL were you thinking, having an outsider work in this bar!?!?"

"Pres man she is in a bad place she needs this. You have no idea what that girl has endured I told her no, but she had this spark that I don't think she has seen in years, and I just couldn't say no. Just give her a chance"

"EVERYONE CHURCH IN 30 MIN and Whiskey it's either you or her, but then again it may be your time to go anyway since you think you can make rules with everyone is gone. GET OUT OF THE BAR NOW!" Out of nowhere I can hear her yell "wait you can't fire whiskey I will leave. He told me this was a possibility, but I didn't think he was actually serious." She turns and gives Whiskey a hug and they whisper somethings at this point my patience is gone and pull her out of his arms and tell her to leave. I look over and see Ruby as if she is about to completely break down. Why do people feel compelled to help this chick out? I have only been gone for 2 1/2 weeks. I am not really paying too much attention I am just trying to keep myself from completely losing my shit here. Whiskey is whispering something to her again then I faintly hear him say don't forget we love you, we will figure it out and then he kisses her hair looking at his old lady for reassurance.

She storms out of the bar, and I just turn on my heels and head to the clubhouse located behind the bar. Church starts 30 min after that little show from earlier.

"Ok now someone tell me what the Fuck is going on? I am gone for not even three weeks and I come back and find this new chick sitting behind the bar. Now, Hammer, this is your place of business I will let you have the floor and we will go from there."

"yeah ok, so Whiskey what was going through your head?" Whiskey at this point starts to let us know how he came across her and her fiery personality. He also explains what actually happened in her past to let us know that she will fit in with our MC. After he explains everything to us all the other club members have adopted her as the club princess. Apparently all the men love this girl and say she belongs here. We continue on with church then I hear a door slam and there is my mother mad as hell.

"Well, it's nice to see you boys back safe, now that we have gotten pleasantries out-of-the-way Ryder care to explain to me what just happened with Hannah?" Ugh, I hate when she uses my real name no one is allowed to call me that.

"How the hell do you know about Hannah for one, two you know we are in church and you are not able to just barge in here....." Before I can even finish my sentence my mother slaps me on the back of the head. "Boy I brought you in the world and I will take you back out. Ruby called me and told me what happened." How do you know this broad?"

"She works at the coffee shop for me, and she is a good worker and does what she can do to help anyone. You are making a mistake with how you just acted"

"Blade I understand that you are mad at me, and I get it, but this girl means the world to Ruby and me. She is a sister to me, and I will do what I feel I need to do and protect her. She doesn't deserve the hand that she was dealt, and I will be damned if I let her go thru all of this by herself." I have never seen Whiskey this way for anyone other than Ruby. I look at Hammer then look around the rest of the MC, "Ok let's have a vote. Who is in favor of letting this girl continue to work here say yay." I didn't even get to finish my speech before I was cut off I go to the nay part with everyone agreeing to let Hannah stay. I look at Hammer, and all he has to say is "Dude apparently she has stolen the hearts of everyone including your mom, and I don't want to be on the other side of her wrath. I also think we should be the ones to go and talk to her." "Pres man, she is a good girl and we all care about her. Just give her a chance." Breaker said.

Ugh, what the hell man, why do we have to do that just have Whiskey call her. "Well I just tried, and her phone is off. This would not have happened if you did not talk to her like that. I am headed over there and I think its best if y'all stay here." Whiskey's face is just holds nothing but anger. We walk out church and Ruby runs over to Whiskey upset that she can't get ahold of Hannah. They run out of the clubhouse and for some reason Hammer and I follow. We get on our motorcycles and head towards the other side of town. Why does she live out this way it's not the best part of town? We proceed down the road and come to a motel.

"Why are we here we should be headed to where Hannah is staying?

"Well Blade this is where she is living, for the time being, she won't take any help from us. We have already tried." They run up the stairs while Hammer and I follow behind them leisurely. We get to the door and Ruby and Whiskey quietly try and get her to the door. "Blue sweetheart, open the door dear" They are doing everything they can to coax her to open the door. At this point they are getting frustrated and very concerned. Whiskeys pulls out a key card and opens the door. I follow behind them and take a notice of the room around me. Clothes put everywhere the best where they can go without having anywhere else to put them. I look over to my left and see Hannah asleep on the couch with tear stained cheeks, and mascara running down her face. It's hard to picture everything that this girl has gone through and just really looking at her I have come to the realization that she's gorgeous. Hammer comes behind me and he's just shocked that she's living out of this motel room, and all of a sudden he comes up with a plan regarding Hannah.

"Let me call the owner of the apartment complex you know they have rooms that they keep on hold for us. She can just move in there, and at least it gets her out of this motel." Hammer walks out the room to make the call and Ruby goes to wake up Hannah. She gets startled when she sees four people in her room and is trying to figure out what's going on.

"What the hell are y'all doing in my room."

Hammer walks back into the room and crouches down eye level with Hannah and explains that he has an apartment available for her. "I'm sorry Hannah for everything that happened earlier we were taken aback seeing someone we didn't know behind the bar. We have taken a vote and we want to apologize on how we spoke to you, but the job is yours if you still want it." Hammer talks with an even tone to give her some satisfaction that people care about her. Maybe, even more than she thinks.

She looks at me for reassurance, and all I am able to give her is a nod. "Thank you, for the chance to prove myself to you. I won't let you down" while she is saying all of this she has held hammers gaze the entire time.

"We will move you out tonight."
