into Florida state to finish up. I can crash on baby Brendan’s couch. It might make it easier to sell if I’ve got someone with me,” Madison said with determination.
“Okay then that’s settled. We’ll work on that while you’re with me. When we get back I’ll stand beside you when you break the news. It will work itself out dear.” One crisis down now onto the next. “Why don’t you catch me up on what’s been going on. The last time I spoke with pop he was urging me to come home. He says it’s not safe right know and Axle told me the same shit earlier on the phone. Who have we pissed off now?”
I sat for the next couple of hours listening to Madison talk. I didn’t realize things had gotten that bad. I don’t remember having this kind of retaliation from other clubs while I lived at home. And now I learned that one of my closest friend’s husband was killed intentional. Shit was getting heavy in the neighborhood. I feel bad now for not going home for the wake. I only met Brookes a couple times before I split and he seemed like an ok guy but to me it didn’t seem worth my secret exposed at the time. From what she said the guys had kept them in the dark for a while only spilling the beans when Madison’s apartment was ram sacked. Typical!
Madison filled me in with stories and pictures of Octavia. From what she told me that little girl was the star in everyone’s eyes. Apparently, Carrin, along with several other family members bought the big place next to the club. I remember trespassing on that property with Braxton when we would sneak off to be alone. I’m glad that someone bought it who would appreciate the beauty of the place.
Listening to Madison go on and on about life now that Octavia was born made me feel guilty. I’ve kept a part of the family a secret for years now. I don’t know if they would ever forgive me. All the reasons I had were starting to seem like utter bull shit. I wanted so bad to tell Madison about Hunter and take her to meet her nephew. I was ready to spill the beans when a tapping from the door of the bus interrupted me.
“Who is it,” I asked walking to the door? With my heart in my stomach I opened the door to the bus to find Harvey waiting for me with a flash light.
“You ready sweetheart. Layla sent me to fetch you when you weren’t in the green room. You’re on in thirty,” Harvey said.
“Oh shit! I lost track of time. Give me just a sec Harvey and I’ll be ready. Come on in and have a seat,” I told him.
“Madison we’ll have to catch up more over drinks tonight. We’ve got to head up to the stage. You’ll have to get a quick shower before we head to the club so you can change after the show. For now, get a move on!”
Without argument Madison jumped up. Gone were the tears from a few minutes before, now my girl was sporting the biggest smile I’ve ever seen on her. Harvey handed Madison a pass that showed she was with the band and the three of us took off towards the stadium. Time to go to work!
Madison
I pushed all my bullshit aside. Tonight was about hanging with my girl and her group of rock stars. I was so excited I couldn’t stand it. When we made it to the stadium Avery left me with Trevor. With a quick hug and kiss to the cheek she was gone.
“Come on Mads. Let me show you to the best seat in the house,” Trevor said with a sly grin.
“Lead the way hot stuff. I’m ready to rock the fuck out. I haven’t been to a concert in over three years. The last one was for Carrin’s bachelorette party. A bunch of us girl’s road up to a big ass festival in North Carolina. It was fucking awesome til some jack ass had to ruin it.”
“There’s always one jack ass wherever you go Hun. Why did you girls let him ruin your good time? I’d be pissed to pay for a damn ticket and waste it because of some jackass,” Trevor said as he made his way to the best seat in the house.
“You got a point bud but, that fucker got what he deserved. He
