"You good lil' girl?", asked Happy.
Clara nearly jumped out of her skin, she hadn't expected anyone to follow her.
"No.", she whispered.
"You clawed the shit out of his face you know.".
"Yeah well he deserved it, and a lot more.".
"Whyd you come back?" He questioned.
"I finished college.".
"I know, why else did you come back?".
"I don't know.".
"Bullshit. You wouldn't have just come back for no reason. Be straight with me girl, you know I care.".
Clara sighed looking out on the lake.
"You know this was the first place he kissed me? Right over there,", she pointed towards an old tree, " leaned against that tree. I was so fucking nervous I nearly peed myself. God I wish I could go back in time and change things.".
"Your gonna wish your life away thinking like that.", she watched as he lit a cigarette. "You still love him?".
"Unfortuanetly yes.".
"Unfortuanetly? Lemme tell you a little story. Ive known Koz since we were kids growing up, and I've never seen him head over heels like that before. Yeah he's dated other girls and shit, but it wasn't the same with you. You know what he did when he found out you left?", he asked.
"Yeah, Jax said he'd got really mad and drunk, and then shut down.".
"He left somethin' real important out.".
She looked at Happy, wondering what else Kozik could've done in his misery.
"What?", she whispered.
"He flew to Australia once he found out where you were. Once I got word of what he did I flew right the fuck over there too and dragged his stupid blonde ass stateside.".
She stared at him in shock, barely believing the words he said.
"You know why he came after you?".
"No.".
"He had given up his patch and was gonna earn straight with you as his old lady.".
"Stop, just stop!", Clara screamed. "Stop filling my head with all these lied. Kozik never even said he loved me Hap. How the fuck am I supposed to believe that?".
"Why dont you go talk to him and find out lil' girl.".
And with that he walked away, leaving her with fresh wounds and a lot to think about.
Thanks again to all the people who left comments! Love you guys! I'll have the confrontation between clay and clara up in the next chap along with her talk with kozik so it'll be a long one. Enjoy!
