The Mechanic

Part 21

It had been a little over a week since Opie and I had stayed at the cabin and I've barely been speaking to anyone since I have got back. Since Kozik and Piney had died, my days mostly consisted of working in the garage and drinking away the pain away. The drinking had gotten worse since I had been back at the clubhouse and what didn't help was having to see Clay still alive and breathing which I wasn't too happy about. The guys had figured that something was going on between Clay and I as I walked out of the room whenever he walked in and whenever we was in the same room, the tension between us was high which left everyone on edge.

Since it was my day off from working at the garage, I wandered out of the clubhouse still dressing in one of Happy's tank tops and a pair of oversized boxers as I had placed myself at the picnic tables with a bottle of vodka in my hands. I was trying to make the most of the sun and the silence which didn't take long before I was interrupted by a tall blonde women blocking the sun from my face.

"Wendy?" I spoke looking up at the women in front of me.

"That's me. Is Jax here?" Wendy asked

"The fuck do you want with Jax?" I snarled

"I am just here to talk about Abel. Not like it's any of your concern" Wendy commented

"I don't see why it would be your concern either since you threw out your rights to be a mother to that child when you took drugs when you were pregnant" I snapped

"I don't need you to remind me of what happened. I'm just here to talk to Jax, that's it. I don't want any drama." Wendy confessed.

"Jax isn't here. He's out on club business. I don't have a clue when he will be back." I stated before slipping the alcohol in my mouth.

Wendy nodded her thanks as she wandered off back to her car, letting me go back to enjoying my peace and the bottle of vodka.

Moments must of turned into hours as the sound of motorbikes rolling into the lot caused to me wake up. I must of fell asleep as I looked around at my surrounds to find that I was still sat at the picnic tables with a bottle of vodka that was slightly filled, between my arms.

Opening up the bottle, I drank what was left of it as Jax and Chibs wandered over from their bikes as they headed for the clubhouse. They looked over at me before looking back at each other shrugging as they watched me finish the bottle of vodka.

"Hey Jax -- Just to let you know Wendy was here. She wanted to talk to you about Abel." I spoke as Jax nodded his head before wandering into the clubhouse.

I started to fiddle with the bottle cap while I half expected Chibs to follow Jax into the clubhouse but he didn't as he placed himself in front of me.

"You okay darling?" Chibs asked as he lifted my chin up so I could look at him.

"I'm fine" I slightly smiled even though Chibs knew that something wasn't right.

Chibs placed a kiss on my forehead before wandering into the clubhouse. Removing myself from the picnic table, I followed Chibs into the clubhouse to get more alcohol which Jax wasn't to happy about as I had planned to spend the rest of the day drinking at the bar.

The next morning...

Happy's POV

Driving into the lot, I hoped to find Letty working the garage with a smile on her face or sat at the picnic tables with the guys laughing but neither of them were true when I parked my bike in the lot before I looked around for her and couldn't find her anywhere to be seen. Since Letty had been back from staying at the cabin with Opie, she has not been the same. Letty had stopped staying at my house like she normally would and she had pretty much been distance with everyone, not to ignore the fact that she has also taken up the hobby of drinking at all hours of the day which caused everyone to be even more concerned about her.
