Blood and Water

Chapter 87: Temporary Wings

Temporary Wings - Geneva

Mina POV

-----

Four days since those guys tried to take me. With no new information, Chibs and I went home. I was petrified to be alone so he didn't leave often and when he did, another Son came and stayed with me.

He shook me awake Saturday morning. I swatted his hands away and laughed. He leaned down and kissed me. "Get dressed. We're goin' out."

"You sure that's a good idea?" I asked, not wanting to leave the safety of the house.

" 'Course it's a good idea! I thought of it so it has to be good!" he chuckled. "C'mon, c'mon, let's go!"

He went into the bathroom while I looked in the closet. "What to wear? What to wear? No, no, no," I sighed pushing the hangars around. Then, I found the white button-down blouse I didn't wear enough. Throwing it on the bed, I grabbed my black denim jacket and tossed it next to the shirt. I pulled on my black jeans and then the shirt. Wrapping a little belt around my midsection on top of the shirt, Chibs walked back into the room.

I didn't realize he was getting dressed in the bathroom. He looked great in his usual date outfit of black jeans, a black sweatshirt, and his grey coat. Pulling me into a hug, he said, "Ya look beautiful, my love."

I looked up, kissing him, and said, "You do too."

I grabbed my brown high-heeled boots and pulled them on, then grabbed my jacket. Chibs grabbed his sunglasses and set of keys off the counter. We walked outside, my first time in days. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out.

We drove to a park I used to go to with my dad when I was a kid. It looked a lot different since then. As we walked through, I pointed at things and told him how they used to be twenty years ago and stories from eight year old me running and tripping right on our path. He swung our hands forward and back as we walked.

Sitting down on a bench, I looked at the empty park and then back at him. The sun was shining, hitting his face. A light beam hit his eye just right, I could see green in his chocolate eyes. He smiled down at me and asked, "What're ya lookin' at?"

"You," I chuckled. He leaned down and kissed me gently. I heard someone coming towards us and it didn't phase me until I heard my name. Turning around, I saw my dad. Then, I realized I never told him we were back together. The last thing he knew was that Chibs cheated on me and we had broken up. I stood up and said, "Dad, what-"

"What're you doing here with him?" he yelled.

I shook my head, "I, um, Dad-"

My dad looked at Chibs and yelled, "Didn't I tell you to stay the f*ck away from her? You broke her heart, you dirty bastard!"

He grabbed a gun from behind his back and Chibs jumped up, getting in between me and him, pushing me out of the way. The gun went off and Chibs hit the ground. I screamed and dropped next to him.

Chibs groaned, closing his eyes as he laid on the ground. "Oh, my God, Chibs!" I yelled, grabbing his face. "F*ck, Filip," I cried, looking to see where he got shot. There was a hole near the collarbone of his coat and blood was soaking into the fabric. He struggled, but he stood up, only to get punched by my dad. "Dad, stop!" He kept hitting him again and again. Chibs sat on his knees, trying to get up. My dad pointed the gun at Chibs' head. "Dad!" I screamed, trying to pull him away.

"Didn't I tell you I would kill you if you hurt her?" my dad screamed.

I cried, "Dad, stop!" but he ignored me.
