Lowmans baby

Chapter Twenty-Seven

He dropped me off at the club house door with everyone else from SAMCRO sitting watching the whole scene play out in front of them, I climbed off and grabbed my bag then swung the strap on my shoulder. I reached and took off the helmet and held it in my hands for a second then look up at Happy, he stared ahead not even giving a shit, without even thinking about it I threw the helmet to the ground not caring if it got damaged.

As I walked away I heard Happy grumble "my fucking helmet" and that was the last I heard of him before slamming the front door and walking inside. I heard Half Sack say hello but ignored him and stormed to my room like some kind of moody teenager, I threw my bag onto the bed and turned around to shut the door but instead was met with a Juice crossing his arms while leaning on the door frame "sorry for slamming the door" I mumbled.

"Clays pretty mad, mostly me, but uh I wanted to tell you that Tig will bring you to school whenever you go back" he spoke kicking the gross carpet with his boot "I don't need you to figure it out, I'm a big girl I can do it" I said as I began to unpack clothes and other things from my bag "wait" I said as I mentally re-played Juices words in my head "why is Clay mad at you?" I spun around to look at him again.

"Don't matter" he grumbled "uh yeah it does Juan" I said and stepped closer to him crossing my arms in the progress  "well just to let you know I took care of that douche bag for you" he scoffed and rolled his eyes "what are you talking about? Happy?" I asked again "yeah I mean he was just using you Talia I know how Happy's with his girls he's a hit and quit kind of guy" I had stoped listening halfway through his sentence as I attempted to wrap my head around his words.

I snapped out of my head and glared at Juice and before I could process my actions my hand came in contact with his cheek and an echo of the skin-on-skin was heard throughout the building, Juice held his cheek and looked at me "what the hell Talia" he said and clenched the now red skin on his face "who are you to decide what I should do with my life! God for fuck sakes Juice!" I felt the tears stinging my eyes again as I screamed.

"Talia" was all he got to say before I forcefully pushed him away from the door frame and to the hall then slamming the wooden door close, I turned and laid my back to the oak and slid down until I hit the carpet floor. I didn't cry this time I just felt numb and if you have never experienced 'numb' it feels like you've drained all of your emotions and are left feeling empty. Nothing.

A repetitive vibration of pounding from the door woke me up from my sleepy body that was sprawled out on the floor, I wiped some loosed drool from my mouth before standing up and answering it. Tig was waiting for me on the other side and as soon as the door opened he pushed himself inside "what're doing?" I asked as he went over to my bag on my bed and started to put everything back into the bag "hey Tig" I said in a protesting manner as I grabbed his wrist "you're staying with me for a bit" he spoke calmly "what why?" I asked "look I got two daughters, I mean I don't see them often but that's not the point, but I know when a little girl is in a bad situation alright? So listen to uncle Tiggy and get to the bike" Tig pointed to the door.

I obeyed his orders and walked out "where are you going?" I heard Juices demanding voice ask "fuck off Juice it was my orders she's staying with Tig" Clay said and sipped back his beer. Juice cursed but didn't say anything and turned his attention and focus to his laptop, I pushed open the door and the light hit and stung my eyes. I walked to the parking lot but only stood there awkwardly since I hadn't had a clue of what bikes was Tig, I heard the metal door open again as Tiggy appeared "this one doll" he nodded to the first bike.

Doll

That's what Happy used to say, it didn't bother me but just triggered the memories of him mentally in my head. I climbed on the back of Tig's bike and waited as he strapped on the bag but it only took less then a second and soon he appeared on the bike in front of me, he backed up and started to ride off and out of TM and just out of instinct I wrapped my arms around his waist.

We arrived at a small house, nothing fancy, it was white with two doors one screen the other a regular wooden one, I walked inside to be met with a small living room with the kitchen open beside it. A small hallway with what appeared to be a hall closet and then a room at the end of the hall "where's the bathroom?" I asked when I noticed that I couldn't see any "in the bedroom" Tig replied and threw my bag onto the couch.

"I would offer you the bedroom but I hate the pull out couch man" he grumbled and took off his boots at the door then plopped himself onto the couch, I did the same and awkwardly watched as he flipped through some channels on the tv "so what do you like cartoons?" I gave him a questioning look as he held the remote in his hands "you're right you're a grown lady so uh, cooking channels something" he said lowly as he fixed his eyes to the TV guide.

"Isn't that a little sexist?" I asked as he prayed his eyes away from the tv for a second "do you find it sexist?" He asked "a little" I replied shyly "well then I won't say it" he snapped his head back to the tv "hey wait" I stopped him as I now stared at the guide and noticed a channel. "What?" Tig asked "could you put on the Celtics game?" I asked, he raised a brow at me "NBA? Really" I shrugged at his comment "sexist" I whispered as he chuckled and clicked onto the channel.

Me and Tig sat on opposite couches sprawled out across each of them as we watched Oprah, he swore to me that it was educational and that I should learn it, my phone buzzed in my back pocket and when I pulled it out I saw that I had gotten a message from Juice I sighed but opened it, it seemed miles long but when in reality it was maybe a paragraph. I scanned the message over quickly before actually reading it.

Hey Talia (I know you hate me) I wanted to call but I wasn't sure if I would be able to figure out what to say and I also thought that you most likely would ignore it so here it is. First off I love you no matter what I really do love you, second, I know I definitely ain't getting brother of the year award but just to let you know that what I did was all out on brothers instinct. I realize now that it wasn't the most mature or adult way to handle it and I am so sorry about that, I just kept picturing you after the incident and seeing you in the hospital and how sad and upset you looked. I knew that I wanted to do anything in my power to protect you and I guess I got carried away with Happy (I apologized to him to). Anyway Clay wants you to stay there for at least a day so I guess I'll see you tomorrow night or something. I love you Talia and if you can forgive me I'd be so happy. It if you can't then I understand.

His words hit me like a bug to a windshield as I read them, they weren't the most poetic but I knew that Juice definitely knows how to share his feelings and I could tell they were genuine and true. I closed my phone and set it on the coffee table and laid down on my side, I didn't even notice my eyes get heavy and then soon shut leaving me in absolute darkness and peace.
