Seb

It's been three years since I have last seen ari. For the first six months prez,knight, eli, and I did nothing but search for her day and night. Interrogating any one who might know anything. We couldn't find a trace of her.

I saw it destroy prez he's not the same man he was at before hes more ruthless than ever. He keeps it hidden from peyton and ellie, but he can't from his brothers, which now include Eli who was patched in on his eighteenth birthday.

As for me, I drown my misery in alcohol, weed, and pussy. I didn't touch another girl for over a year after ari was taken. Prez sat me down one day and told me he didn't think she was ever coming back, I saw it in his eyes he believed it and it killed him.

"Prez?" There's a knock on the door while we're in church it's daisy the club girl I have been taking my anger out on with my dick the last couple of years.

"We're in fucking church" He snaps

"Your phone keeps ringing" it starts up again "same number fourth time"

Prez stand and snatched his phone from her answering it and putting it on speaker "who the fuck is this"

"Daddy?" Everyone's heads snap to prez who's eyes widen and start to water.

"Ari? Ari baby is that you?"

"Daddy please help me" she whispers

"Where are you ari? Tell me where you are"

I can't breath "I don't know daddy. One of them dropped me off on the side of the road with a phone and told me to run"

"Ari I need you to look around and tell me what signs you see anything you see princess so I can find you."

"Hold on" she says and then his phone dings "I sent you my location. Please hurry" she cries

"I'm coming baby stay on the phone okay."

"I'm coming" Eli stands and follows prez out followed by knight then me.

"Where are you going baby?" Daisy purs grabbing my arm and I shrug her off.

"Maybe you should wait here" Eli says looking at Daisy

"No, I'm coming too.

"She doesn't need to deal with all that right now" he waves his hand at Daisy

"I thought she was dead, eli. If I had known she was alive I would have never touched another woman"

"Shut the fuck up and let's go" prez yells

We only ride ten minutes before we come across her she's barefoot, dirty. And barley clothed. I take off my cut and pull my sweatshirt over my head before putting my cut back on. I hand the Hoodie to prez who has ari in his arms. He nods at me before pulling the Hoodie over her head and pulling her back into his arms

"I'm so sorry princess. I'm so fucking sorry ari." He tells her over and over.

"Daddy I want to go home." She cries.

"You're going home baby, I'm going to take you home to peyton."

Eli pulls her into him next "I'm so sorry little sister." He tell her

Knight is next "I'm going to kill them all ari girl I promise. " She nods against him before moving to face me. It's the first time I got a clear look at her.

Her face is bloody and bruised so are her legs, she's tiny way too tiny "sebby" she whispers and I pull her to me.

"I got you angel."

"Sebby, I'm sorry."

"You didnt do anything wrong."

"You're going to hate me" she cries

"I could never hate you angel."

She shakes her head and pulls away looking at her dad "we have to go back daddy. We have to get charlie."

"Who's charlie?" Prez asks her

"My daughter" she cries.

"What the fuck?" I mumble under my breath.

"Your daughter?" Prez asks her

"Yeah. They still have her daddy we need to go ger her. I remeber which way we came from please. I can't leave her there."

"Ari, what do you mean you have a daughter?" Wli asks her.

"They.. they raped me.... I got pregnant I had a baby."

"I'm going to fucking kill them all" knight growls and I'm right there with him.

"Okay baby. We will get her okay?" Prez tells her pulling out his phone. "Jasper I need everyone I'm sending the location now be here in ten minutes.

I sit back on my bike and pull out a cigarette and light it up. "I'm sorry sebby" ari whispers looking down at the ground.

"It's not your fault ari, just allot of news for a day. I'm happy you're okay though."

"How have you been?"

"What kind of question is that?" I ask her "I barley slept for the first six months looking for you ari. I have thought about you every single day since. I thought you were dead."

"There were day I wishes I was" she tell me "sebby can I have another hug?"

I stand from my bike and Stomp out my cigarette before pulling her to me "I'm sorry ari. I'm sorry I didn't make it in time"

"I'm sorry so sebby. I'm sorry I'm getting you filthy"

"I don't care" I tell her shaking my head and pulling her closer. We stay like that until we hear the sound of engines.

"Ari?" Jasper ask pulling her away from me I to his arms "I'm so happy you're okay girl"

"Thanks" she says before pulling away and looking at her dad "can we go?"

"Yeah, princess get in the truck" He nods toward the truck that a prospect is driving.

"The prospect can ride my bike I'll drive her." I say which catches the eye of everyone. They all know how I feel about my bike. Prez just nods and i tell the prospects "you put a scratch in this bike I'll kill you"

"I won't " He nods and I help ari into the passanger side before taking my seat.

"Thank you" she whispers

"No problem, tell me where to go"

I don't know how I feel right now as we drive. I'm so happy that ari is okay but hearing that those sick bastards raped her and she got pregnant because of it makes me sick. I always imagined having a family with ari. I don't think that will happen now, she's been through too much these last few years and instead of continuing to search for her I was busy getting drunk and high and fucked. Im sute she'll hear about it all soon enough and want nothing to do with me.

"Take a right up here, it's the blue house"

"You have been here this whole time?"

I look over to see her nod. She was fifteen minutes away from the club house this whole time.

"Where's charlie?" I ask her

"Basement, Sam wouldn't let me take her he said there was no time. I'd have to come back, with help "

"Who's sam?"

"The guy who dropped me off, he's Marcus' son"

"Marcus reilly?"

"I don't know his last name, I never saw his face. I just just know what Sam told me."

"Is Sam Charlie's dad?"

"No Sam never touched me. I don't know who Charlie's dad is. Doesn't matter anyway she's mine and only mine"

Once we're parked prez comes up to my window and I roll it down "how many people are inside princess?"

"I don't know when Sam took me out of the house that was the first time I have ever been out of the basment"

I feel my hands grip the steering wheel tighter.

"I didnt see anyone when we left"

"Okay princess, is charlie in the basement" she nods her head "Okay, I'm going to get her and I'll bring her to you okay?"

"Okay dad."

"Seb stay here and protect my little girl"

"I will prez"

Several of the brothers walk onto the house with their guns drawn including prez, Jasper, knight, and Eli.

"How long have I been gone seb?" She whispers

"A little over three years"

"I'm eighteen?"

"Yeah" I tell her.

"You thought I was dead?"

"Yeah" I sigh

"Okay" she says

"We have all the time in the world to talk about everything, lets just make sure you and charlie are safe first okay?"

"Yeah" she nods

She jumps put of the car when prez walks out with a little girl on his hip in nothing but a diaper. I jump out behind her following close.

"Charlie" she cries as she takes the girl from her dad's arms and hold her close crying

"She's okay ari. Let get out of here. There's no one here. They will probaly be coming back and I want you girls far away and safe when they do."

"I don't have a carseat for her"

"It's okay just hold her we're going to get you to peyton and have you both checked out. You'll have bikes infront of and behind you she'll be fine." Prez assures her then nods at me and I lead her back to the truck helping her in.

"Mommy" the little girl says to peyton hugging her and crying.

"I'm right here charlie, everything's going to be okay now"

The little girl falls asleep almost immediately when I start driving with knight prez and eli infront of me and the rest of the club following. "Thank you seb, for coming"

"I wouldn't be anywhere else angel"

"I'm not an angel" she whispers

"You'll always be an angel. What happened to you is not your fault ari"

"Thanks for saying that" she says.

"I mean it" I tell her as we pull up to the gate of prez and peytons house. "Let me help you get out" I tell her before opening my door and walking around to hers I grab her waist and set her on the ground gently with the little girl still in her arms. "It's going to be okay ari." I tell her

"I don't think ill ever be okay seb" she says with tears in her eyes.

"Yeah, me either" I tell her truthfully.

"I'll see you around" she says before walking away towards the house. Taking my heart with her.

I feel a hand on my should and look over to see Jasper "you didnt know man. None of us knew. You and prez can't beat yourselves up about it."

"I should have kept looking. She's was fifteen minutes away, just a few miles all this time. She has bruises and blood all over her. They beat her, raped her, locked her in a basement. What was I doing while all this happened? Fucking club whores and getting wasted."

"You were trying to find a way to cope with her being gone. You thought she was dead seb. You think if prez had any idea she was alive he would have stopped looking for her? You think he would have told you to stop isolating yourself obsessing over finding her. I get it dude the guilt is eating you up. Give her some time she's been through allot."

I nod and go back to my bike handing the prospect the keys to the truck before taking off back to my house to process everything that happened today.
