Chapter 25: Hearing Rumors


    Kylian/Karma’s P.O.V.


    “This is all your fu.cking fault,” C.G. said to me the moment Doc mmed the door in our faces.


    “She was lying,” Havoc muttered, but it didn’t sound like even he believed that.


    C.G. scoffed. He looked between the three of us like we were the dumbest bunch of id.iots he’d ever seen.


    He ran a hand through his hair and let out a hollowugh.


    “The three need to get your fu.cking sh.it together and pull your heads out of your a.sses,” he said in a


    calm but cold voice. “I get it, okay? Bly hurt us. She left us, ignored us, broke her promises. I felt all that


    pain that she left behind too, but what you guys are doing to her now is too much. She doesn’t deserve


    this-”


    “She does deserve this,” Psycho snapped. “She deserves to get her feelings a little hurt after everything


    she did to us. Not to mention the sh.it she pulled before. I’m not falling for her schemes again. Not likest


    time-”


    “Oh, wake the fu.ck up!” C.G. shouted, cutting him off. “Her schemes? When has Bly ever actually


    schemed? Or better yet, when have her “schemes” ever actually worked out for her? Because the more I


    remember sh.it, the more I realize that Everly and Alex always had a lot to say, and we never gave Bly the


    chance to even defend herself! Now that we’re here again… She doesn’t even want to fu.cking be here, and


    you think she’s scheming? Scheming for what exactly?”


    We were silent after that. Mostly because all of us felt it. We all knew C.G. had a point. Our anger and pride


    were getting the best of us. And itnded Blythe in Doc’s makeshift hospital bed.


    “I just said it, but I’ll say it again,” C.G. said calmer now, but clearly still angry. “Maybe we should ask why


    she’d rather live on the streets with nothing and no one, then be with us here.”


    “This is all bullsh.it,” Havoc muttered.


    I shook my head.


    “C.G. is right,” I said. They all looked at me, surprised. C.G. was the only one who looked happy though. “Something isn’t adding up, and I want to know what we’re missing.”


    “How about we throw her out and forget we ever even found her?” Psycho suggested happily.


    I shook my head.


    “No,” I replied. “I’m finding out the truth and you fu.ckers are going to help me.”


    “And if I refuse?” Havoc spat.


    I red at him.

    “You gonna refuse an order from your prez?” I shot out, challenging.


    Havoc held my re, but didn’t say anything.


    “How about a bet?” C.G. suggested, smiling.


    “A bet?” Havoc asked.


    The smirk on C.G.’s face told me that he’d already won whatever this bet was.


    + Points 3


    “I gotta take a look at what happened in the kitchen still,” he said. “How about we bet on that? If Everly and Alex are as innocent as you say, then I’ll shut up about Blythe. We’ll do whatever Prez wants. I won’t say shi.t, I won’t be pushy, I won’t stick up for her.”


    “At least we wouldn’t have to hear your bullsh.it about fu.cking her anymore,” Psycho muttered.


    “And if this evidence somehow proves her innocent?” Havoc asked. “Then what?”


    “Then you a.ssholes have to be nicer to her,” C.G. said. “You have to be nice, you have to actually help us figure out what the hell is going on with her, and… I say we go back to the original idea we had about her.”


    Havoc and Psycho’s eyebrows shot up.


    “You… want us to fu.cking share her?” Psycho asked incredulously. “I never even agreed to that in the first


    ce.”


    “I’m her fu.cking stepbrother,” Havoc stated, disgusted.


    C.G. rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.


    “Okay, you two are in denial,” he said. “You want her Psycho, just admit it. You always have. And who gives a flying fu.ck if you’re her stepbrother? That taboo sh.it is hot and Bly was ours before your parents hooked


    up.”


    “Nah, fu.ck that-” Havoc started to say, but C.G. cut him off.


    “At least be open-minded about it,” he said.


    “Fine,” Psycho replied. “But only because I know that little short cake isn’t innocent.”


    Yes she is. We all know it. Deep down. Blythe has always been the most innocent. She was a crybaby before, but now… Now she’s like a cornered animal; ready to bite the moment anyone gets too close.


    I want to know why.


    “I won’t promise to be part of her fucking harem, but I doubt that she’s innocent either, so let’s get this


    over with,” Havoc said.


    “Wait,” I said. “I want you to go make sure that she has everything in her room that she needs. And Butter too. C.G’s gonna need a minute anyway. Psycho, you cane with me.”


    They all gave me a nod before C.G. and Havoc took off in different directions. Then it was just me and my


    best friend. Well, they’re all my best friends, but Psycho and I are the closest.


    “You really listening to her BS?” he asked.


    “You weren’t?” I countered with a raised brow.


    “Everything thates out of her mouth is a lie,” he muttered.


    “Does telling yourself that make it easier to stay away from her?” I asked outright.


    Pyscho blew out a breath and averted his eyes.


    “It keeps me angry at her,” he replied. “But no. It doesn’t make anything easier.”


    “What are you going to do if we find out that we’ve had things wrong?” I asked him, genuinely curious.


    He shrugged, still looking away from me.


    “What could I do?” he mumbled. “She hates us now, Karma. Nothing we do will change that now. Especially after we almost fu.cking starved her to death.”


    “She’ll forgive us, and you know it,” I argued.


    Psycho scoffed, looking me in the eyes.


    “Before, I would have agreed with you, but now…” He said, shaking his head. “She’s different.”


    I nodded in agreement.


    “If I find out that we’ve been hurting her for no reason…” I trailed off, looking at the closed door. “I won’t


    give up on her. And whoever did her wrong… I’ll make them pay.”


    “Well, we don’t call you Karma for nothing,” he teased, but that smile didn’t quite reach his eyes.


    “Come on,” I said, turning around. “Let’s go figure out what the hell happened to Bly’s sh.it.”


    I walked out to the main part of the clubhouse. It’s full of the brother’s partying and naked or half-naked sweet tarts. I saw Johnny behind the bar, serving drinks. I went straight towards him, not stopping for


    anyone that tried to speak to me.


    “Hey Pre-”


    “Johnny, that night I brought the new girl here, I asked you to go get her sh.it outta the car. What’d you do


    with it?” I asked, cutting him off and getting right to it.


    Johnny looked confused.


    “I brought it in. One of the girls took it from me,” he told me. “Said she would take it to the new chick with other stuff she was taking.”


    My jaw ticked. <fnafc0> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find?novel</fnafc0>


    “What club girl?” I asked.


    “Oh, uh, i-it wasn’t a club girl…” He stuttered.


    “What? Then who?” Psycho asked.


    “Uhm, w-well, it was Nikki…” he told us. “She was with Snapper and Ev. I know you told Snapper to get that girl some stuff for her room, so I thought they were all just helping. I didn’t think anything of it. Why? That bit.ch using Nikki of doing something?”


    I frowned. That bit.ch?


    “Why would you think that?” I asked.


    “Ev told me about her,” Johnny said, looking disgusted. “Told me how she used to seduce and y with you guys like pawns. Used your feelings for her to mess around with you and get what she wanted. How horrible she was to Ang and Tusk. She said no wonder everyone had no problem acting like she didn’t exist. Fu.ckin’ cu.nt. I heard that she got her a.ss handed to her by Alex earlier today too. Bet she fu.cking deserved that sh.it.” He ended with a smug smile on his face.


    “What did you just say?” Psycho asked, sounding just as fu.cking rocked as I felt.


    Johnny looked between the two of us. He went from amused to confused in a few seconds.


    “Uh, Alex and Nikki were just in here talking about it,” he told us.


    Still, we just blinked at him. Mostly because we were confused about everything he just said. Not just that Bly was apparently beat up and Alex and Nikki were bragging about, but about everything else too.


    “Why do the two of you look like I broke you?” Johnny asked with an awkwardugh.


    Psycho turned his head to look at me and I did the same. We had the same thoughts. The same


    conclusions.


    Everly said all that sh.it about Blythe. None of it was true. We were about to find out just how true Nikki’s


    and Alex’s words were about today too. And none of them knew it.


    “You guys okay?” Johnny asked.


    “Listen to me,” I said. “Blythe isn’t bad, she just… needed to be punished. I’m lifting the rules too. Everyone


    can talk to her.”


    “What? Really?” Johnny asked.


    I turned around to walk away, ready to fu.cking find Nikki, Snapper, Ev, or all the fu.cking above.


    “You shouldn’t believe everything you hear,” Psycho said to Johnny. “And you all better be fucking nice to


    her too.”


    A momentter he was by my side.


    “What great advice,” I muttered to him.


    “Yeah,” he replied. “Wish I would have taken it sooner.”


    Me too, friend. Me too.
