First Love

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Sitting around a little longer with Happy, Koz and my dad when Clay calls church. My dad and Koz kiss my cheek before heading into the chapel. Happy kisses my lips softly and says "Stay inside and close to Gemma until we come out." I nod and he kisses me one more time before saying "Love you little girl." I smile softly and say "Love you big man." He walks into the chapel and the doors close. Gemma walks over with Tara and they sit on each side of me. "How you doing baby?" Gemma asks. "I'm getting there." I tell her. "Saw you and Koz talking. You get your shit sorted?" Gemma asks me. "Yeah. Happy asked me to be his girl and I needed to get my head right and get some insight." I tell her. "From that little interaction before he headed to church you said yes." Tara says. "I did. He's the only one other than Koz and Daddy that I can handle even touching me since my attack and I'm the closest he's coming to settling down so it just makes sense." I tell them and they nod. I see Lyla sitting there alone and I say "I'll be right back."

Getting up, I see Lyla and ask "Can we talk?" She looks at me and nods. I sit down and tell her "I just want you to know, I'm not here for Opie." I tell her. "Well, he seems awfully cozy with you. Being affectionate with you." she tells me. "When you saw him kiss the top of my head, he was telling me that they had me. I came home to get help from my dad and the club. I ran from my ex. He was beating me and raping me and letting his friends rape me. Every man wearing that Reaper, they've all been fiercely protective of me. More so now that this has happened." I tell her. "So you aren't going after Opie?" she asks. "No. I'm actually with Happy now. I want Opie to be happy. He's been one of my best friends my entire life and if you can make him happy then I am happy for you both. Take care of him. Be there for him. But I needed you to know what was going on so that you didn't think something was going on that isn't." I tell her. She pulls me into a hug and says "I appreciate that. I'm sorry for how I've been." she says. "Don't worry about it. You didn't know and all you were doing was defending your place. I respect that." I tell her. "Even if I am just a porn slut." she asks. "Who said that?" I ask. "Tara." she tells me. "You're doing what you need to do to handle your shit. Nothing wrong with that." I tell her. She smiles and nods before I head back to Tara and Gemma. Looking at Tara, I say "Be easy on her. She's not a bad person." I tell her and she nods.

A few minutes later, the chapel door opens and my dad motions me to come inside. I walk in the door and it closes behind me. I look around the room and when I look at Happy, he motions for me to come to him. I walk over and go to stand behind him but he pulls me into his lap. "You are to stay inside this clubhouse until we get back. We found your ex and we're handling it. I don't want you outside or out of Piney's sight." he tells me. "Understood." I tell him. "Now, once this is done, are you here for good?" Clay asks. I look at him and say "I'm back for good." I feel Happy's crip on my hip tighten a little. "Good because before you came in we had a vote." Clay says and Happy and Koz both show me their Redwood Original's patches. "Holy shit. Really?" I ask both of them and my eyes start to tear up. Happy pulls me close and kisses me hard and whispers "I'm home baby."

We walk out of the chapel and to the bar. Prospect starts handing out shots. Each of us taking a shot before they all come to me and kiss my cheek to head out to take care of my ex. My dad walks up and says "I love you baby doll." Smiling I say "I love you too Daddy. Please be safe." I tell him. Then Koz walks up to me. "Love you kid." He says. "Love you bubby." I say. Happy gets in front of me and I kiss him softly. "I love you. Please be safe. All of you." I say. "We will baby. I love you and when this is done, I want to give you my crow." he says. I nod my head yes and he kisses me one more time before following the rest of the club out the door.

Pulling up to the motel where my ex is hiding out, they have the manager get him out of the room. Once he walks out, they grab him and put him in the van tied up and knocked out. The pull up to the warehouse and take him inside. Getting him tied up, hanging from a hook hanging from the ceiling, my dad smacks him awake. "Wake up you stupid fuck." My dad seethes. "Who are you?" Mark asks. "The name Jimi ring a bell?" Koz asks. Mark's eyes go wide. "That's what I thought. That girl you raped? That was my sister you stupid fuck. She's his kid." he says pointing to my dad. "But you don't have to worry about us. We're just going to stand back and enjoy the show. But this sick fuck?" he says pointing to Happy, "He's gonna have fun with you." Koz says. Happy steps forward and asks "You know who Jimi is to me?" Mark shakes his head no. "My Old Lady." Happy says and everyone's eyes go wide. Including Mark's. Happy spends the next hour torturing Mark before finally putting an end to him. Once they dispose of the body, they clean up and head back to the clubhouse.
