Homecoming//Sons of Anarchy//Happy Lowman

Shattered

That night Happy stayed awake thinking about everything Milo told him. She was blamed for what the guys did to Kyle. She was starved and beaten, locked in a room wearing a straight jacket for 2 months. Looking down at the girl sleeping on his chest he started wondering how he managed to get someone like Milo.

Happy has always seen himself as a heartless killer but when Milo is next to him he can see himself becoming something more. It terrified him even though he would never admit it. Shuffling beside him caused him to tighten his grip a little.

"Happy..."

"Yeah doll?"

"If i tell you something do you promise to let Jax handle it?"

"Yeah."

Silence took over the room as Milo built the courage to say the words out loud. Saying it made it real.

"Clay and Tig killed Donna. They were after Op." Milo's voice broke towards the end making Happy look at her.

"Where did you learn that?"

"Jax was arguing with Clay about it earlier."

"Alright. Get some sleep. We'll talk about this tomorrow ok? You've had a long day."

"Are you mad?"

"Milo get some rest."

That morning Milo stood outside Tigs door debating on if she could go through with it. Taking a deep breath she knocked quietly. Hearing him say come in she looked to the ground as she walked inside.

"Hey sweetheart. You ok?"

"I'm going to ask you something. Don't lie to me cause i know the truth. Did you kill Donna?"

"Milo."

Looking up at Tig, Milo had tears in her eyes. "Did you?"

"Yes."

"You wanted to kill my brother instead you killed Donna. I trusted you and you were gonna kill my brother?"

Tig stood from his bed and took a step towards Milo reaching out to her causing her to step back. "We thought he was a rat. Him, Donna and the kids went missing then we were raided."

"No you and Clay thought he was a rat! You two made that decision by yourselves and it got Donna killed!"

"What do you want me to say Milo?! I'm the one who has to live with killing her! While you were gone i was dealing with that!"

"I hate you.." Milo's voice was just above a whisper but Tig heard it and it caused his heart to shatter.

"Milo. I regret it. I wish I could take it back."

"Yeah well now you have to live with it. You changed. You wanted to kill my brother. You're dead to me. Clay is too."

As another tear fell down her face Milo walked out of his room leaving Tig destroyed. Chibs watched as Milo walked out of the clubhouse. Following after her he watched as she climbed up the ladder to the roof.

"Lass?"

"Yeah Chibs?"

"Can i come up?"

"Yeah."

Climbing up the rest of the way Chibs sat next to Milo. Wrapping an arm around her Milo wiped her eyes.

"Are you Alright?"

"Not really.."

"Well why don't me and you hang out today? Get your mind off of some stuff."

"What would we do?"

"I could really use your expertise in the garage if you don't mind."

Smiling slightly Milo nodded before following Chibs down the ladder and started their day of hard work and goofing off.
