Chapter 11
Brick
It is Sunday evening and I’m at one of Merigold’s dinners. She does this every Sunday and anyone who wants can stop by and have dinner. Most of the single brothers come for a chance to eat Merigold’s cooking. Merigold uses it as a chance to catch up with the family. No club talk or work talk, just spending time together. I make sure to come at least every two weeks to spend time with everyone. Normally bunnies aren’t allowed at these things but I have noticed Gretchen has been coming to a few dinners from time to time. The only way for that to happen is for Merigold to invite her. I’m pretty sure Gretchen is here for the same reason I am and has nothing to do with the food. It has everything to do with Speed.
I knew she was going to be here tonight because Merigold was raving that Speed was going

Reckless Renegades Speed's Story Chapter 12
Speed Ratchet calls it hiding. I say it is where I go to reflect and think without being interrupted. Last time I was here I was thinking about Brick and Gretchen. And part of me still is. The way they reacted when Merigold, Ratchet, and I told about our past. Brick looked enraged. Like he wanted to kill my parents. It was a sweet thought actually that someone cared enough to think that. But it wasn’t needed. Gretchen looked like she was a second away from breaking down in tears. And Anna went down right motherly on me. It was weird having all these people care about me and Ratchet when all we had before was Alaric, Merigold, and the rest of the crew. No one has ever cared for us before. I didn’t know how to react. That is one reason that after we came back I decided to change into some comfortable sleep shorts and tank top and come out here for a while. Ratchet went to his room to video call a few frie

Speed I woke up the next morning to find myself alone in bed. Normally I don’t have a problem with that. I actually prefer it. But today it bothers me. For some reason, my heart was hoping to find Gretchen laying beside me and now I’m disappointed. But I should be. This is the way it has to be even if it hurts my heart a bit. I sit up in bed for a few minutes trying to understand why Gretchen not being here or even saying goodbye is bothering me. After the only thing I could come up with is that maybe I like her, I gave up. Maybe isn’t true. I do like her a lot and that is the problem. But I don’t have the time or brainpower to think about it too long today. Today is a big day and I need to get moving. You see, today is Ratchet’s eighteenth birthday. We are having a surprise party for him at Merigold’s this afternoon. So

BrickRatchet’s birthday party is in full swing. I can see everyone having a good time. More importantly, so is the birthday boy. When he first came in you could see the shock written all over his face. He was definitely not expecting most of the club to be here to celebrate with him. But like Viper said they are family and this is what we do for family. For the first thirty minutes or so Ratchet looked lost in his head. I saw Gretchen go over and talk to him. I’m not sure what she said but he pulled out of himself and started having fun.There is food galore on two tables as well as coolers with various drinks. A cake with eighteen on top of it and off to the side of is a small table where we put the gifts we got for Ratchet. When he saw that he was blown away. He didn’t expect that. Merigold even hired a D

Speed Ratchet’s birthday party was a blast and we all had a good time. The best surprise was when Merigold brought Alaric and the rest of the Alabama crew in for it. Well, that is when Ratchet pulled me to the side and told me he was gay. I’m not bothered by the fact, he is my brother and I will love him no matter what. What bothered me was that he was scared to come out to me. I have always thought of myself as a very open and accepting person. Love is love no matter what form it is. Merigold has two husbands for crying out loud and that doesn’t bother me at all. Alaric and Mac are married and have been in a relationship since high school. It has never been a problem. So it baffled me that Ratchet was worried. That is until he explained to me that it was my problems that made him think that. Once I clarified my problems with myself have nothing to do with me accepting him. Then we were a

Gretchen I haven’t seen Speed since Ratchet's birthday party and I can’t stand it. I have talked to Brick and I know he spent some time with her the day after. He told me they talked for a bit and he has an idea of what some of the problem with Speed is. She is convinced that she is broken. Brick says the way she talked about how it was wrong to want to be with either of us, it was like a programmed response. Like someone has brainwashed her or something. He thinks judging from the scars on her back, it is more like someone has beaten it into her. I almost broke down in tears when he told me that. I have spent all week coming up with ideas to break down what Brick and I are calling her programming. Brick says the biggest thing is that we can’t give up. We have to keep going after her with everything we have. Even when she pushes back. He said she tried with him the day they were together.

Speed I finally got my car fine-tuned just the way I like it. Thankfully I didn’t have much more interruptions from Gretchen and Brick. What the hell were they thinking showing up like that. I could barely think. I was tightening the same bolt for ten minutes hoping they would leave. But no, they just hung around. And when they found out I hadn't eaten in two days they came up and not only confronted me but wouldn’t leave until they made sure I ate. It wasn’t like I did it on purpose. I just forgot to eat. I didn’t even realize it had been two days. I had been so focused on getting the car ready and myself it just slipped my mind. At least they saved me from Merigold. The last time I forgot to eat she went ape shit on me and wouldn’t leave my side for two days. She even threatened to hand feed me to make sure I ate at least twice a day but she wanted me to eat at least four times. That wa

Gretchen When Brick came back from the track after watching Speed’s time trial he pulled me aside. I admit I was curious as to how it went but could find a good enough reason to go. I knew she had a lot of people there to get prepared for race day and I didn’t want to get in the way since I had nothing to contribute. So I worked around the clubhouse to keep myself busy and my mind occupied. So when Brick came back I was relieved wanting to know what happened. Brick pulled me into the playroom and sat me down. Brick paced for a minute before I couldn’t stand it anymore. “ Brick, will you stop and tell me what happened? Is Speed ok?’ Did something happen?” I know I was spouting questions rapidly but he was making me nervous. “ No Speed is fine. Hell, she is more than fine. You should have seen her. It was amazing and scary

Ratchet After talking with Gretchen last night I decided to take her advice and talk to Brick. I have eyes and I’m not stupid I know something is going on with the three of them. I just don’t know what. I respect Gretchen for only telling me her part in all this. She is right it isn’t her place to speak for Brick or Speed. I also know that my sister isn’t ready for me to know anything yet or she would have something already. I feel like she is battling with herself. I can see it with the way she tries to push Gretchen and Brick away. But I’m happy to see that Gretchen isn’t letting her do it. And when Gretchen asked how I felt about Brick and her pursuing Speed it felt good that she wanted my opinion and I got the feeling she was also looking for my acceptance about the situation. All I want is for my sister to be happy the way she deserves. I don’t care how or with whom it happens.
