Lowmans baby

Chapter Twenty-Four

They were all calling out to me, those girls in the pictures, I tried to reach out or yell but I couldn't move. I was frozen watching them as hands of men reached out from the dark and pulled them away screaming, all the girls were gone and I was stuck staring at myself in a mirror but it wasn't me. It was me when Juice found me that night, the reflection of me looked into my eyes and in less then a second it's hands reached to my throat.

I let out a scream as I lunged forward in the room, a firm hand grasped my shoulder as they tried to calm me, I followed the hand to see that it was Happy. I slowed my breathing down which caused Happy to let go of my shoulder "you ok?" He asked I cleared my throat "sure" I responded "what happened?" I asked " you completely blacked out in the truck, I carried ya in, you keep screaming but never woke up" he grumbled.

I looked around the room to notice I was in the living room but only with Happy "where's everyone else?" I asked again "went home, Juice got some guys address so they're tracking some down , hopefully one of the guys will crack and tell us who set up that whole business" Happy eyes followed the floor and to the wall as he talked almost like he was checking the area. He looked back at me and gave me a weak smile "get some rest" he patted my knee and pushed himself off the couch but I reached and grabbed his hand "I can't, if I close my eyes I see them" I whispered.

"Who?" He asked "the girls they're everywhere and I can't do anything" I started to sob as my breath hitched in my throat while I talked "what happened to those other girls ain't your fault" he noted "Happy can you sleep with me tonight? Like just stay in the bed with me" I asked and looked up at him with just my eye. He pursed his lips and looked around "sure" he spoke, I got up and walked with him to the back bedroom and kicked off my shoes.

I reached for my shirt and pulled it up about halfway but stopped when I heard Happy speak "woah uh" I turned to see him with his hand covering his face "it's alright" I turned away from him and lifted my shirt off, I was only in my sports bra and sweat pants as I lifted the cover up and slid under. Happy still stood their just staring "I don't bite" I said plainly, he gave a quick smirk and walked to the bed lifting his white tank top off and throwing it on the floor. He layer down beside me and shifted when I got closer to him, I could visibly see his array of tattoos that covered his body but my eyes landed on his torso.

Dozens of smiley faces but I didn't want to know why "this why they call you Happy?" I asked he hummed in response, my fingers traced over a snake tattoo that wrapped around his chest and down his stomach "they're beautiful" I said quietly, I felt his hand on my head as he slowly stroked my hair, I finally placed my hand on his chest and felt it rise and then lower every second. I slid my hand across his body so that my arm was around his waist "why you trust me?" He spoke up "what?" I asked and looked up at him "why you trust me like this" he nodded to my arm.

I looked down at my arm and sighed "I was alone when it happened, when they took me, I always made out to be this asshole and tough girl but that almost got me killed" I beg and to be quiet as I tabbed his side with my index finger "I  don't like being by myself anymore, I can hear them, the men they're gonna haunt me I just know it" I was whispering now and I could feel his hand move down my back and to my waist "Happy I trust you cause I know you'll stay" I finished.

He didn't say anything, he wrapped his other arm around me and held me "I will baby girl, I will" my eyelids fluttered shut and my arms felt loose around his body as I drifted to slumber. I felt wanted, I felt protected, and I felt needed. I loved him and I didn't even know it yet.
