Chapter 8

Hawk

The girl is still sobbing so hard her body shakes With both sick bastards lying on the floor unconscious and the twisted bitch that had been filone, I pull a blanket off the back of the closest couch and wrap it around the girl She shies away from me until Felicity tells her that I won’t hurt her

I’e to vo her tenderly as I carry her toward the closest door Felicity flanksthe doors as I near her Jeep I tuck the girl into the back seat and debate leavingwith Felicity I know that if I have to come back to pick it up, I’ll kill every frat boy inside that house

“Where are you taking her?” I demand

“I can’t take her to o to yours”

I nod once and run to rass on the lawn in her rush to get out of there I shoot one last lare at the frat house as I startto round while those fuckheads watch

It’s with that silent promise to myself that I follow after Felicity

It’s still raining and the roads are slick I stress over Felicity getting to e like no one else Jet and I had taught her to drive ourselves, and that girl can handle ale It feels like it takes forever to get ho wheel in frustration when I see the lights froh to turn into my driveway

Felicity must have called ahead to warn Raven because she’s already in the driveith a clean blanket Bash stands off to the side away from her, but when he sees the look on my face as I slam the door of my car, he rushes forward “What? What happened? Raven only said that Flick had a girl that was in trouble”

I don’t answer right away, not sure I can speak through the rage anyway Instead I open the back of the Jeep and carefully lift the girl, who’s now crying silently I toss the smoke scented blanket aside and reach for the one Raven offers before wrapping it aroundher pretty face from everyone’s eyes
