Chapter 6

Happy laid there with my while I cried. He just held me and kept telling me it would be okay. Once I stopped crying, we just laid there. "Have you ate today?" he asked. "I'm okay." I say. "That's not what I asked." he said. "No." I finally said. He starts to move and says "Get dressed and meet me out by my bike." I look at him shocked and he cups my face in his hands and says "You trust me?" I nod my head yes and he says "Meet me by my bike." and walks out of the room.

I get dressed and walk outside and my Dad walks over to see how I am doing. Before he can say anything, I hug him and say "I'm okay Daddy. I promise." I tell him but I only wish I believed it. He nodded and I walked to the bike. Taking the helmet he offered me, I put it on and climb on behind him. He pulls out of the lot and we drive for a little while. After a while, we pull up in front of this little house. I remember this house. It was the one that I wanted to get but wasn't up for sale when I bought my house. "What are we doing here?" I asked. He pulls out a set of keys and says "Come on." He takes my hand, intertwining our fingers and unlocks the door. Walking in, I look around and the place is beautiful. There's furniture in every room and I look at him confused. "Happy? What's going on?" I asked. "You said you couldn't go home. My apartment lease is up next week, so I bought the house. The master bedroom is yours and I will stay in the other bedroom until you are okay with my sleeping in their with you." he said. I looked at him shocked and asked "You bought this house? I loved this house." He actually smiled and said "I bought it for us." My eyes go wide and he tells me, "When you are ready, I want to put my crow right here." and as he says this he rubs his fingers over the back of my neck. "Really? You still want me after this shit?" I asked with tears in my eyes. "I will always want you little girl. I told you. You are mine." he says before kissing me softly. "I didn't think you wanted to keep your bed so I brought mine. If there's anything you want from the house, we will move it here. You clothes are already here and mine are in the room across the hall." he explains. "Happy?" I say. He looks at me waiting for me to speak again. "Thank you." I say and he pulls me closer and just holds me.

We look around a little more and I tell him "I would be okay with you in there with me if you want to move your clothes in there." He smiles and says "Okay." We get back on the bike and head to Gemma's for the family dinner. Walking in the door, I already feel better. I walk to the kitchen to see if the ladies need any help. "Anything you want me to do Gemma?" I asked. "Nope. We got it." she says. "Can I talk to you for a minute then?" I asked and she nods her head and we walk out to the patio. "What's going on Baby?" she asked. "Thank you for what you said to Happy. He told me that he loves me." I say. "That's great baby. I talked to Jax and he said you could stay at the clubhouse as long as you wanted." she said. "About that. You remember that house I loved so much?" I asked. "Yeah, you thinking about buying it?" she asked. "Uh, Happy already did. He moved our things in there already. But I will need help selling my house." I tell her. "That's great baby. So things are serious?" she asked. "He wants to put his crow on me as soon as I am ready." I say. "Good baby. I'll talk to the realtor and get started selling it. Just let me know what you want to keep and we will put the rest in storage incase anyone else needs anything." she says. "Thanks Gemma. For everything." I tell her before hugging her. We go into the house and I head into the living room where Happy is sitting next to my dad. I sit in between them and just listen to the conversations around me. Happy leans over and whispers in my ear "You okay?" I lean into him and say "Yeah Hap. I'm okay." And for the first time since the attack, I honestly feel like I will be okay.

After the dinner, I kiss everyone goodbye and Happy and I head to our new home. We head in and start moving his things into the master with me. After we get his things moved I asked him if he wanted to watch a movie and he agreed. I turned on Netflix and started Armageddon. One of my favorites. I curl up into his side and fall asleep. I feel myself shoot straight up, gasping for breathe. "Luc, hey, I got you. It's okay." Happy whispers in my ear and it instantly calms me. "It was just a dream." he tells me soothing me a little more. I lay back down and start thinking, I need to get past this and the only way I can think of is to do something I didn't think I could do again.
