Before anyone can even open theirlike an aniht breathin’ if you don’t get your damn hand off me” He does, instantly

It’s not that I want to be a cunt, but no one but Coral can touch me Every damn person in my life knows this I initiate touch from a person, not the other way around None of these men except BlackJack knohat kind of childhood I had I’ve never felt the need to tell anyone here h hell as a kid withtouched makes my skin crawl

Made fucking women hard sometimes Couldn’t bear to touch them, even kiss their damn lips That’s why I’d tie them the fuck up, so they couldn’t touch h to feel her hands onher

“Cal tone He knohat I’m like I don’t mean to snap, but when I do, I lose all sense of the here and now, and no fucker is safe “It was a simple mistake, son”

I closeto be sick I haven’t felt like this in a long ti me and more to do with the crap I hide inside from the woman I'm about to make my wife

God, I’ about her past, everything that ever hurt her, she trusted me, but I haven’t done the sa from everyone else in er

I need to get out of here I need to see Coral and tell her everything I can’t et this out of me

How a such things from her?

We’re supposed to be getting et back from our week in California – her choice for a honeymoon, not mine – but we can’t do any of it until I’m free from this shit inside of me I need it out before it kills me

I’ve never wanted to tell anyone anything so much in my life!

“I’m sorry, brother”

“I need to get out of here”

“Where the hell are you goin’, it’s your night?”

“I need to do somethin', Tank, and it can't wait”

I rush away froet to the door I’rabbed my arm out until I see who it is

He raises an eyebrow at me with a smirk on his face I’d never lay a hand on hi off to, son? This is your night You’re getting married tomorrow, and your brothers want to spend time with you while you’re still a free man”

“I need to see Coral, Jack I have to tell her the truth about my past, why I bear all these scars inside and out She’s asked ot so scarred, but I’ve never once told her It’s bad enough that she saw them by accident I saw the pity in her eyes She toldabout herself How can Iall of this from her?”

He looks athis head He understands ives him credit for “Just remember, you are not alone, Stryker You have never been alone You have a family who loves you,” I s hard Shit like this I ain’t used to it I should be, but it’s still hard for me to truly accept it “Everyone in the MC is your family, but more than that, Taylor and me, we’re your family, son We love you like you were our own Alill”

I shake his hand, can’t bringthe man just yet Not that I don’t want to, I just ain’t ready “I love you, too, old man”

He chuckles and rolls his eyes at me

“Go talk to her Tell her what you have to tell her, then make daht” I laugh loudly Son of a bitch “Once you’re done get your ass back here and have a real drink with your brothers”

“I will”

I hope Coral doesn’t have a breakdown seeing irls I just need half an hour then I’ll be gone I just hope she understands why I’ht now

Time to let out what I’ve kept inside me my whole life
