Page 29 of The Saviors: Part One
Will he want me to tell him about Brady, or will he let the subject drop? I know if we’re together, I’ll have to tell him. But now isn’t the right time. I’ll get to know him better, then tell him the whole fucked up tale.
If I don’t run the other way first.

Ilook over at Sean in the passenger side seat, and he’s still staring out the window. He hasn’t said a word since he told me that Axel demanded we come back to the house.
“What’s wrong with you?” I finally ask.
Sean flops back in the seat and sighs. “Man, I saw some shit before I left, and I’m trying my best not to run back there and demand answers.”
“Demand answers about what?”
Sean shakes his head. “It’s not my place to tell you. I will tell you that as soon as we find out what the fuck Axel wants, Nolan has some tracking to do.”
“I can respect that, but what exactly is Nolan tracking down?”
“Chelsea’s ex,” Sean growls.
My hand tightens on the wheel. He doesn’t even need to tell me anything. Her ex fucking touched her, and that’s all that matters. He just signed his death warrant.
My reaction to her surprised the shit out of me. I don’t like being around people for long periods of time besides my crew, but I felt drawn to hang around at High Flyer just to be near her. And she didn’t make me feel weird about my scars. I’ve accepted them for the most part, but usually, people have too many fucking questions about them. Ones that I never know how to answer. But her? She never asked the first time, and she didn’t stare at me like she was afraid. I can honestly say I now know why Sean was obsessed after one night.
“Why the hell did you put that shit in my head last night?” I demand. There’s no way he wants me involved with her. He had to have been fucking with me like he always does.
“What shit? The shit about Chelsea?” I nod. “Because I think it will work.”
“Come on, man. I saw you with her. You don’t want me with her.”
Sean shrugs. “I saw you with her too. You were a completely different man, and that’s what you fucking need.” He turns in the seat to face me. “But you have to get over this fear of touch bullshit.”
“I don’t have a fear of touch,” I say between clenched teeth.
“I know. You’re afraid of hurting her, but man, that isn’t you, so move the fuck on.”
“I kill people with my bare hands, Sean. She should stay away from me.”
“She should stay away from me too, but I’m too fucking selfish to let her go now.”
“What are you going to do when we have to move on?”
“I’ve been thinking about that. If this works out and she doesn’t hate me when she finds out the truth, why do I have to leave?”
“You want to leave Axel and the Saviors?”
“No, but I don’t have to stay stuck up his ass all the time.”
Ever since we came to Forest Grove, Axel has been difficult to deal with. He and Sean are like fire and gasoline. Eventually, their tempers are going to boil over, and I don’t know where that’s going to leave the Saviors.
“We need to keep this from Axel. He doesn’t need to know you’re still seeing her.”
“Aw, you going to lie for me, Kai? I knew you loved me.”
“Fuck you.”
“You still didn’t answer me about Chelsea. Are you in or out?”
