***Con*** It's been three days since we pulled into this small town, three days that Nix and I haven't felt the pain of Trevor's fist or his hurtful words. We have kept off-grid, no internet or social media. I kept my prepaid phone; I have yet to use it, but I only used it to find my way around the town. Nix has found a friend at the shelter; some of the other women have kids as well, and he clicked with two of the other boys. which I was happy for him, he deserves to have friends. Trevor didnt let him hang out with anyone other than kids from the club, and Nix didnt get along with them. They were bullies and thought everyone owed them something, The next morning, we went to Moe's diner like Monica said she whipped up pancakes just like Nix likes them, but the time he was done, I had landed a job with her, and she agreed to pay me cash each day. "Look hun, I know you are running from someone or something, if this helps you stay safe, then im all for it," She told me that day. I cant be more grateful for her help, she dont pry or judge me, which is what I need right now. Im not ready to reveal my past and all the crap i have been through, Im hoping i can get on my feet and when i have enough money and enough streghten i will divorce Trevor but right now i need to get settled somewhere and get my feet under me and Nix and I need to heal before we take on that battle, I also need to figure out what to do for Nix and school it will be starting soon and i know if i put him in public school Trevor will find us, Monica looked up some homeschooling programs and i think im going to go that route it is safer for us and Nix loves school so getting him to do his work wont be hard, The bell above the door chimes. I look up and suck in a breath. My body goes rigid as I see five guys standing there, all in leather jackets and jeans. My heart starts to pound as fear rips through me. They make their way to an empty table. I spot their patch on the back of their kutte: Iron Horses. I dont know other clubs, just Trevor's as he didnt talk about them, and truthfully, I didnt want to know. I was too busy staying alive and protecting my son from them, I drop my head when one looks over here, "Con, Hun, could you get them? I just need to finish this up, dont worry, they dont bite no matter how rough they look," She smiles as she goes back to writing. Swallowing, I can do this, they dont know me, im far enough away from him, I kept telling myself. Stopping at the table, I place a smile on my face, despite the fear that is threatening to take over, and make me run right out of here, "Can I start you off with something to drink?" I dont make eye contact with any other them. "Hey Darling, we will take five iced teas," One guy spoke, his voice was deep but soft at the same time. I peeked a glance at him; he was older than the others. I spied his name patch, Drinks were all it said, "Okay, do you need a minute to decide, or do you all know what you want?" He chuckled, "We are simple, darling, we came for Monny's burger and fries." I wrote that down, "Um, okay, I will be back with your drinks in a few minutes. I will put this in for you." I could hear my voice start to shake, hoping like hell they didnt. I scurried away, giving the cook the slip and filling their drinks. I placed them all on a tray, but when I lifted it, I was shaking so bad I spilled some. 's**t,' I cursed a I set the tray back down, grabbing a towel. "Here, let me help you." That deep voice came, making me snap my head up. I squealed, falling back on my butt as he stood over me. My first instinct was to cover my head with my arms, "Not going to hurt ya, darling, was just helping you clean this up," I peeked out from under my arm to see him kneeling as he wiped up the mess, Quickly dropping my arms, I got up, "Im sorry," I mumbled as I grabbed a towel, "It's quit alright, I didnt mean to scare you, I saw you had trouble lifting the tray, I was coming to help and saw some spilled." He smiled at me as he continued to help us clean up. Once we were done, I took the towels, "Thank you for your help," I felt like a moron for acting like that. "Con, hunnie, what happened? Are you alright?" Monica was next to me, looking me over, "Yeah, im okay, I spilled some drinks and this gentleman was helping me clean it up," I tell her, and she looks over, "Good old Drinks still being the prefect gentlemen, huh?" "Now, Monny, you know I am nothing but a gentleman when in the presence of a lady," Monica laughed as she swatted his arm, I went to grab the tray again when he held up his hand, "Let me take the tray, it's heavy." He grabs it, lifting it and walks back to his table, throwing a wink at Monica, and she rolls her eyes as she scoffs at him. "Hunnie, you sure you are okay, you look a little pale," She asked as she grabbed my hand. I was still shaking and she noticed it, she dont miss much, "Yeah, just had a moment." "You want to talk about it?" I let out a breath. I should probably tell her some, so she knows and isn't blindsided. "Can we talk in the back?" "Sure, come on hun," She wraps her arm around my shoulders, her touch seems to calm me, Once we are in the back, I give her a short version of what went on. I can see she is fuming as I explain things, "So, let me get this right, you are married to the President to an MC, and he beat you and your son, so you ran and now are hiding from them?" I nod, not having any more words, "And how long have you been married to him?" I met him when I was sixteen, and married and had my son within a year." Her eyes widen, "So you were just a child yourself when you met him, what was he thinking, what did your parents think?" "Um my mom died when i was fourteen my dad didnt say much as he was lost and griefing my mom so he liked Trevor, he didnt believe me at first but then i showed up with two black eyes and he confronted Trevor, they had it out and a few months later my father died in a car crash," I thought her eyes were going to fall out with how big they got. She took a seat, "Well that is a lot to go through but i can tell you that you came to the right town, yes those guys out there are part of a MC but they are nice and helpful they dont beat women or children, then shelter you stay at is funded by them, but someone should report this Trevor to the mother chapter that's s**t anit allowed to happen they will step in," "Really, Monica, all I want is to be free of him. I dont want to get tangled up in any of that, I want my son to be safe, and staying hidden for now is best."
