Promise To A Brother

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Happy's POV

It was a long ride back from Ma's and all I needed was a drink and a shower and maybe get my dick sucked. Pulling onto the lot, I see a car sitting there. A familiar Mustang that I knew I would eventually see again. Walking into the clubhouse, my eyes immediately meet hers. Her. Koz's little sister. My first thought was that damn letter. Shit. All I could do was turn back around and walk back out the door.

Sitting on the picnic table, I light up a smoke as she comes walking out the door. Sitting down next to me, she asks "You not going to talk to me?" Ignoring her question I asked her when she got in and she responds that she just got in today. What she asked next took me by surprise. "Is me being here going to be a problem for you?" I answered the only way I knew how at the moment. "Why would it?" Ask I got up and walked inside.

Walking inside I grabbed a bottle of Jack and headed towards my dorm room knowing I was going to need something harder than a beer for this night. Locking the door behind me, I walk to my night stand and pull out the letter from my best friend and read it again for what seemed like the millionth time in the last year.

Hey Brother,

This sucks. If you have this in your hands, that means the Reaper took me. There are so many things I want to say but I guess, since you don't like small talk, you will just have to humor the dead guy. Yep, pulling the dead card here. (I know. Bad joke but fuck it.) Look, you are my best friend and my brother and that is why I left you one of three letters. My sister got one, obviously, but Tig got the other.

There is a reason you are getting this one. I need you do promise me something. I know this will be something hard for you but it is important. When we were in Tacoma, Lisa was protected by the club because she was my little sister. She had her connection to the club through me. With me not being here, there will be no guaranteed protection. In her letter, I told her that all of the life insurance and my house in Charming go to her. The house in Tacoma goes to the club but with the understanding that they let her stay there until she is ready to come to Charming. That might be a month, it might be a year. But in her own time she will be moving here.

With me being gone, she has no ties to SAMCRO either. I know you and Tig will not let anything happen to her but I need her to have ties to the club. I need her to have that guaranteed club protection. The only way she can have that is if someone takes her as their Old Lady. Tig looks at her as a daughter so he is out. I don't trust anyone else to do it. You are the only other option. You are the only other one I trust with my little sister. But there is more to it. I want her to be happy. I want her to get married and have babies. She has wanted to be married and have kids all of her life. I know you aren't ready for that kind of commitment but this is something that I need you to promise me.

I know you saw the ring in the envelope. That ring was our grandmother's. She passed it down to me hoping that I would find someone worthy of wearing it but the only one that is worthy of that ring is Lisa. When she comes to Charming, and I know she will, take care of her. Please promise me you will take her and do as I ask. I need you on this brother.

Koz

I read the letter one more time, knowing I had to figure this shit out sooner rather than later. She's here now. There's no hoping this goes away. I made that promise to my brother. Taking the ring out of the envelope, where it has been since the letter was given to me, I take a safety pin and pin it into the inside pocket of my kutte so I have it close when I figure this shit out.

I spent the rest of the night drinking in my dorm, trying to figure shit out. Did I want an Old Lady? A Wife? Kids? I never saw myself with any of those things. The things I do for this club keeps me from feeling like I deserve those things. I think Koz knew that. I think he thought he was finding a way to take care of us both but can I really do this? Can I be what she needs?

Waking up the next morning, I walk into the main room and see Tig sitting at the bar. "Morning Brother." Tig says with a little smirk on his face. "Morning." I tell him glaring at him. "Guess you saw the kid is here. You good with that, brother?" Tig asked me. "Yeah. I saw." I say getting up and walking out to my bike. Time to take a ride and clear my head.
