Road to Ruin

CHAPTER 6

SKYLAR POV

I know that it was sweet of Finn to call me to make sure that I was alright after spending time with the bikers, but I didn’t expect him to get so pissed off when he heard all the bikers in the background. And I’m not one to beat around the bush. I told him that they were staying with us and he was pissed. He didn’t like the idea of so many men at my house. Even if some of them had their women with them.

The whole thing put my in a bad moon so i only stayed outside and had a couple of drinks with our guests before i headed over to the doors on the ground level and I unlocked it and went inside.

It was around the back of the house, away from the front door and this is my apartment where I lived separately to my brothers.

It blocked out a bit of the noise but not much of it.

I went to the bathroom to have a shower and I got dressed into a loose fitting shirt and shorts before I sat on my bed towards the back of the apartment and I grabbed my school bag and looked at the homework that I had been given for the night.

I only sat there for about half an hour doing some of it before I put everything away and I turned the light off and climbed into bed.

I wasn’t sure how long I was in bed when I heard something in my living room.

The music got louder for a second before I heard the click of my front door closing.

I know that I had locked that door but someone had made their way inside and I laid there listening with my back to the door before I heard whispering coming through the hallway and past my wardrobe and my bathroom until the people were inside my bedroom.

I felt the bed dip slightly as someone kneeled on it and I felt them leaning over closer to me.

I slowly moved my hand under my pillow and without any warning at all I grabbed the knife that I kept there and spun around and held it to Raven’s neck as my other hand grabbed a hold of her neck from behind so she couldn’t get away.

“You want to explain what the f**k you think you’re doing?” I asked.

“Skylar. Let her go.” Angel yelled.

“Shut the f**k up. I’ll get to you in a minute.” I snapped. But Angel turned around and ran out of the apartment screaming.

Pretty soon my brothers and Bade and Drake had all busted into my room and saw me sitting up in bed with a knife to Raven’s throat.

“What the f**k is this?” Blade asked.

“Why don’t you ask your old lady? She’s the one that broke in.” I said.

“Raven.” Blade said.

“I have a knife to my throat right now and you want me to explain myself?” Raven asked.

“Yeah. I really do.” Blade said.

“Would you kill this b***h already? She is threatening the old lady of the president.” Raven said.

“I don’t answer to those bikers and I sure as f**k don’t answer to you.” I said.

“Skylar. Put the knife down. We’ve got her.” Brax said walking closer to me.

I looked at him briefly before I looked back at Raven and I pulled the knife away from her throat and kicked her off my bed.

She landed on the floor at Blade’s feet and he pulled her up and dragged her out of the apartment.

I got out of bed and I put the knife back under my pillow before I started walking outside as well and I heard Blade and Raven yelling at each other.

She was pissed that he didn’t do anything to me and he was pissed that she tried to attack me. And she did it in my home where she had no right to be because they were guests here and we were doing them a favor by letting them stay.

“Did she hurt you?” My brother Heath asked.

“No. She didn’t get a chance.” I said.

“Do you always sleep with a knife under your pillow?” Drake asked.

“For years now.” I said.

“Damn. I guess that’s a good thing.” He said.

We all stood there watching Blade and Raven yelling at each other before she finally slapped him across the face and that got the attention of everyone.

“s***h. Give Raven a ride into town. Stay with her at the bus station until she’s on the next bus out of town.” Blade said without taking his deadly gaze off of Raven.

“Baby. you know I didn’t mean it.” Raven said.

“I don’t ever want to see you again. Don’t call me or visit me. Just disappear.” Blade said through gritted teeth.

Raven turned and shot me a deadly look but I just smiled and waved at her before she was taken away by s***h and forced onto the back of his bike as everyone else watched.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Drake asked.

“It takes a lot more than that b***h to scare me.” I said turning around and walking back into my apartment and I slammed the door shut behind me.
