Chapter 2 - Chapter One

Katherine's pov

As I drove into charming I started to get nervous, this town was now my home, the drive hadn't been that bad I had mostly listened and sung along to lose yourself by Eminem as it relates to a new beginng, only have one shot, the only thing that sucked was being in one spot for hours on end and no breaks, my back was killing me but I kept driving, as we drove on the outside of charming, we came to a stop I looked to right and saw my new home, it wasn't too small it wasn't to big, I drove around the trucks and drove into the driveway, I shut the engine off and looked in the back seat and smiled at Prince as he started to wag his tail at me

"We're home buddy, we're finally here" I reached back and patted his fur a couple times, I opened the car door and walked to the middle of the lawn, I looked at the moving trucks and signaled for them to come into the lawn, when both of the trucks were in the lawn I held up my hand and got them to stop their trucks, I walked to the back of the trucks and opened both the doors to the back of the trucks to check the furniture, when I was satisfied with what I saw I closed up both of the trucks and walked over to the side of the lawn and opened up the side gate to gain access to the backyard, I turned around and signaled the tow truck over as the truck was moving into the back yard I had walked behind the truck and waited for him to park, thankfully the yard was bigger than the size of the house, he shut off the engine and followed me to the front yard, I quickly ran over to my car and grabbed the keys out of the ignition, I walked over to the house and unlocked the front door for the first time, as soon as the door was opened the three guys started to move the furniture from the trucks into the house as I started moving boxes from the other truck into the house

~5 hours later~

We had gotten everything into the house and moved the furniture where I had wanted it, I had bought the tow truck off the guy so I could have something for my cages to stay on, the moving trucks had left just over an hour ago as I had started working on unpacking what was now my room, Prince had found his way from the lounge onto the bed, when I was finished I had started getting hungry but knew there was no food in the house, I knew I would have to go into town and grab some, which meant that as soon as I stepped foot out of my car everyone was gonna be staring at my face just because I'm new in town and I'm gonna be the gossip that people will be talking about around this small town cause I bet the news about a new person in town is gonna travel fast, and hopefully it doesn't bring me attention from a crowd of people I don't want to be involved with but knowing my luck I doubt I'll be lucky

I walked out into the lounge room and picked up my phone, wallet and the keys to may car, I walked out the front door, locked it and got in my car, I put the keys in the ignition and started up my car and sat there for a bit and looked at the house before I pulled out of driveway and took off to the shops.

when I got to the shops I already had a few stares while I pulled into the parking lot but when I got out of the car it had felt like everyone was now staring at me, I was ready to get back in my car and take off back to the apartment but I knew that I still had to get food for myself and prince so that there is food in the apartment to eat, I grabbed my earphones out of the car and started to listen to music to help me block out everyone, I went into the shop and grabbed a trolley, then started walking down the isles and getting the basics, frozen and fresh fruit & veg, bread, butter, slice & shredded cheese, ham, bacon and other meat products for myself that would last for a couple weeks as well as cans of wet dog food and a big bag of dry dog food for prince, I walked up to the counter and took out one of the earpieces so I could hear what the lady at the counter was saying, after I paid for everything I gathered up all the bags and walked back out to the car to put all the bags on the backseat

I sat back in the front seat, put my seat belt on and took off back to the apartment, when I got back to the apartment I stayed in the car with the engine off so that I could calm down, having people stare at me was something I was used of growing up back home because of who my parents were well mostly because who my dad was but being in a new place feeling like I'm getting gawked at left and right no matter where I am or where I go isn't something I'm used of, something I probably won't get used of, once I had calmed down I grabbed all the bags out of the car and walked into the house I shut the wooden door and headed towards the kitchen so I could pack everything away

when I finished packing away I went to my room, I walked over to the corner of the room and opened up the box with prince's name on it, I grabbed his three dog bowls and walked back into the kitchen, I filled up three bowls with water, dry food and wet food and placed on the floor beside each other and called out to prince and I watched him come running out of my room and straight over to his bowls, I stood there for a few minutes then I walked out to the backyard and over to the Truck, I grabbed my Harley Davidson '99 FLSTF Fat Boy off the bottom of the truck and rolled it into the garage, I looked at the gas tank and shook my head the last time I had rode my bike my father had gotten the drill and put a holes in the bottom of the gas tank just to make sure I couldn't ride off with it, the thing that sucks right now is that I knew I was gonna have to find a place that would have a new reliable gas tank that I could put on my bike, I walked over to the roller door and pushed the button to open up the garage to get some fresh air, I walked back into the house, I walked into the lounge room and went over to the boxes that were labeled Garage and went through them until I found my tools, once I had all of my tools in one box on there own, I picked up the box and went back out to the garage, I emptied the box and spread out all my separate tools and toolbox over the fool around me

once the tools were spread out, I grabbed a wrench and went back the bike and started to remove the front bolts on either side of the tank, while I was working on removing the gas tank I heard a car pull up next door, car doors were being opened and closed, I had stopped what I was doing when I heard the footsteps start to approach my garage, I stood up grabbed a rag that I had placed with the tools, I cleaned the grease off my hands and dropped the rag on the floor next to the wrench, I put my hand on my knife that was hidden under my shirt in the waist band of my jeans and turned around to see that four men had approached, one had brown long hair with a beanie on and a beard, the second had shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes, the third had curly brown hair with some facial hair who looked like a bit of a psycho and last one had brownish black hair with a bit of grey tips but his eyes stood out to me, they made him look gentle in a way but you could tell he could probably hurt you without hesitation, I looked at their jackets and knew straight away they were with a motorcycle club I looked down at the floor and shook my head, this is the type of crowd I didn't want to get attention from just ky luck one of them could be my next door neighbor or know who my neighbor is, I looked back up at them and sighed

"Great" I said to myself under my breath so they wouldn't hear, I kept on a serious face while I looked at the four of them standing there "Hey is there anything I can do to help you four, if not can you get out of my garage and leave me alone" I watched the blonde one stepped forward and by the look on his face I knew he was gonna say something so waited for him to do that exact thing and hurry up and say what he wanted to say so I could get rid of them quickly

"No actually I came over to say hi since by the looks of it you will be my new neighbor, anyway my name is Jax and these three are my brothers, the one in the beanie is Opie, the curly haired one is tig and the other one is chibs" I followed down the line as he introduced them but when he mentioned the last one my eyes stayed on him a bit longer then the rest, atleast I know what he goes by now but Chibs, really? I seriously hope the nicknames don't get any more weird or mysterious, I looked back at Jax and slightly nodded

"Well hey y'all, not to be a bitch but you're kinda interrupting what I'm trying to do here, the name is Katherine, it's nice to meet ya and I bet I'll be seeing y'all around a lot" I said to them as my flicked back and forth to them always seeming to land on chibs the most

Chibs smiled at me as his eyes scanned the bike I was standing beside "thats a nice bike you got there, its rare to see attractive lass like you on a good like bike like that, what exactly are you working on", I smiled at him when I heard his Scottish accent and damn it made him more attractive to look at, I looked over at my bike and slightly shrugged my shoulders "I'm currently taking off the tank, I've been meaning to replace it since my dick of a father drilled holes into her, I've gotta take this one off and find a reliable replacement so I can fix her up and go riding on her again" I looked back at him when I finished talking

the one named Tig groaned as he looked at the bike and shook his head "your kidding right, he drilled holes into that baby, why would an idiot do such a thing like that" I looked at him and let out a small laugh and shook my head "well thats what happens when you get into a fight with your old man and take off on your bike and not come home until 10 to 11pm that night and walk in on him drunk off his ass and still pissed off, the next second I realised I was being shoved out of the doorway back outside, I watched him walk over to the back of his truck, grabbed out his drill and put two holes on each side of her, while I was standing there screaming at him telling him that if put one more hole in her that I would stab him in his sleep" I looked back at them and shrugged again "but it happened and I haven't been able to fix her since" I watched Tig and Chibs look at each other a shake there heads and look at Jax

Opie was the one that spoke up this time as he cleared his throat and looked at me "Thats a '99 FLSTF, right? I think there's a spare gas tank lying around at the shop that's in good condition, if you're not busy and have a way to bring her with you, we can take you back to the shop and get her repaired and filled up for you on the house" the other guys looked at him and nodded, i looked at him shocked, I smiled at him and nodded "Really? that would be great seriously, I've been thinking about how I was gonna get her repaired now that I'm in a new place" I said looking at him "I've got a pickup out back on the carrier truck, keys are in the glove box, can two of you go get it off, you'll be able to drive it through the side gate, warning it might be a tight fit" I finished saying and watched Opie and Jax walk out the back

I looked at the last two and smiled, I turned around to the wooden bench that the last owners had built and put down my phone, wallet, and house keys together, I pulled out the knife and put it on the bench and then bent down and pulled out the pocket knife that I keep tucked in my boots and put that beside the other one, I heard the side gate open and rolled out my bike to the end of the drive way, I waited until the boys stopped the truck nearby hopped out "The ramps are packed away still so you guys might have to lift her on, be careful cause if you drop her I will stab you" I looked at Jax and watched how he groaned and grabbed the front end of the bike, Opie grabbed the back, Tig and Chibs took a side each and lifted her onto the tray, after they got her on Jax turned to look at me and then looked at the passenger side "Opie and I noticed the duffel bags in the front seat, you've got set of nice toys there" I sighed looking at him as I walked to the side of the truck and grabbed the bags out.

I walked back over to the four of them and dropped the bags in front of them, opening them up "I might've picked up an obsession with guns and knives while I was in the military, kept every single weapon I owned" I answered looking at them, Chibs looked at Tig then smiled at me "Las I'd hate to be the person to end up on the wrong side of those if your using them" I smiled at him and winked "don't piss me off and you won't find out, but just a warning, if you do then run cause I don't miss" I zipped up the bags and walked back into the garage putting them on the bench, I grabbed my things, walked out of the garage locking the sliding door, I walked over to the front door and called out to prince pointing at the truck, I walked beside him until we got to the truck and picked him up, putting him on the front passenger seat, I closed the back of the tray and got into the driver seat "ill follow you guys from behind" I said as they walked back over to their bikes and took off, I started the truck and followed behind them as I noticed that I had been watching Chibs most of the time and groaned, like I need another love interest in my life.
