Your Loss

:oo1:

"I can't do this anymore." Was the first words out of his mouth when he sat down.

My face conveyed my confusion as I looked up from my book. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"This. Between us. I can't do it anymore. I don't want to be tied down." He told me shrugging.

My jaw dropped. "Excuse me? After three years, NOW you don't want to be tied down?" I asked slamming my book closed.

"No. The same pussy gets old after a while." Happy shrugged again.

CRACK

My fist connected with his nose and I heard the snap under the force. "FUCK!" He roared clutching his face.

"Fuck you Lowman. You no good piece of shit." I hissed in his ear.

Pissed, was and understatement of how I felt. I was betrayed, I was horrified, I was disgusted but all of those only masked the hurt in my heart.

I called Opie, holding back my tears as I begged my big brother to come get me. I think Ope knew what happened but he brought me to his place he shared with Echo without a word. I didn't say anything as I walked to the spare room and curled up in the bed.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow I would leave Charming.

Happy's P.O.V

I watched Opie stop outside of my house and pick Christina up. I was surprised when he didn't come in and do more damage than his sister already did. I sighed to myself as I felt my own heart breaking. I love Christina. I love her more than I've ever loved anything. She taught me how to feel. How to love. But this is the only way I could protect her.

She deserved more than this. More than this life. More than I could give her and I needed to set her free. As much as it broke me to do it...

>> The Next Day <<

"What the fuck did you do to my sister?!" Opie snarled, slamming me back into a wall.

"I told her I was done. I don't want an old lady. I don't need one either when I got pussy lining up for miles." I told him shoving him off me.

Ope didn't say a word. But his fist said all he needed to say as he drove it right into my eye. I didn't even try to fight back. I knew I deserved what I got.

"Thanks to you my sister is fucking gone asshole." Ope told me before storming out as he lit a cigarette.

"What have you done man?" Jax asked as he shook his head and walked out.

I sighed and hung my head. I did what I had to. To protect her. To protect the most important thing in this world to me. I did what I had to...

Echo's P.O.V

"Chris are you sure this is what you want to do?" I asked her after she told Ope and I what happened and that she was leaving.

"I have to Echo. I can't stay here. Be around him. It will just hurt way too much..." She told me as a few tears fell.

"Oh Chris." I cooed and hugged her.

She may be my sister in law but she was also my best friend. I knew she was hurting. You could see it plain as day on her face. She loves Happy and all he did was shatter her... To say Ope and I were pissed would be an understatement. Opie was so protective of her, I've never seen a brother / sister relationship like theirs. It was heart warming. Part of the reason I fell in love with Opie.

"What did I do Echo? Where did I go wrong?" She sobbed on my shoulder.

"Oh Chris. This is NOT your fault, you hear me? It's his. Happy is an idiot for letting you go. You did nothing but love him and take care of him." I told her.

"I should go get my stuff before Happy goes home." She sighed.

I nodded and we left. We got into the car and headed for her house. I helped my best friend pack all her things. Then stood idly by as she took every photo and threw it across the room, smashing the glass and frames.

To finish her fit, she took the necklace and ring he had bought her and slammed them down on the coffee table. Chris strutted out the door with her head held high and all her bags.

We loaded her belongings into the trunk of my car and I drove her to the bus station. I hugged her tightly biting back tears as I bid her goodbye. I watched her climb onto a bus bound for Huntington Beach before she drove out of sight.

With a heavy heart I got back into my car and headed for TM. When I got there I found my fiancee smoking a cigarette at the picnic table and Bobby tending to the busted nose and black eye Hap was now sporting.

"You rat bastard son of a bitch!" I yelled as soon as I saw him.

"Echo!" Opie warned.

"No. This isn't club shit. This is my best friends heart! How could you?! She just jumped a bus for another city! She smashed every fucking photo in your house and left the ring and necklace you gave her on the coffee table!" I snarled.

Nothing gets past me because I saw the pain in his eyes. I saw the hurt, but he masked it quickly. "I don't care." He rasped.

"Yes you do you fucking pig. You love her you're just too pussy to be a man and protect her." With that I turned on my heel and left the clubhouse.

Opie followed me to my car and caged me in against the door. "Where did she go?" He asked.

"Huntington. Said one of her friends out there is gonna take her in until she finds a place." I answered with a sigh.

"Is she okay?" He asked.

"No Ope. She's heartbroken... She loves him then he pulls this." I shook my head.

Opie sighed before tipping my chin up so he could place his lips on mine. "She'll be okay. Right?" He asked.

"Yeah Ope. She just needs time..." I told him.

I wrapped my arms around his middle and laid my head against his chest. I hoped she would be okay...
