"Cassie please. Lets just talk. Just please. Give me five minutes." said David.
"You need to leave. Do you want Ellie to fire you?" said Cassie.
"JUST GIVE ME FIVE FUCKING MINUTES!" David exploded.
"Okay. Okay just calm down. Alot has happened since I left. I found out that I have an older brother and a younger sister, and that my mom has a twin brother. I'm not alone anymore." said Cassie.
"Well there is something we need to talk about. Our baby. Why would you abort him or her? Why would you kill my kid?" David asked.
"You think I would want to bring an innocent child into an abusive environment? I don't think so. You have changed. Ever since the drive by and you getting run down and nearly killed you haven't been the same. It's like that driveby and getting run down killed the man I fell in love with." said Cassie.
"I know. I know. Listen I'm sorry. My life is empty without you in it. Cassandra baby please come home. Lets start over. I'll prove to you that I'm the guy you fell in love with in college. I'll be the one who you decided to throw caution to the wind and move accross the country to California instead of staying in the only place you ever lived. Atlanta Georgia. Please just come home." said David.
"I'm sorry. It's too late." said Cassie. It was like a switch flipped and David backhanded her accross the face.
"What you wanna be some biker slut for the rest of your life? You are mine! You fucking belong to me!" David snarled as he hit her in the stomach with a closed fist.
Gagging she was able to get out a loud. "JAX! UNCLE ALEX!" The door burst open then and Tig Trager stormed into the room just as Roosevelt's jeep was pulling in. Someone had heard shouting and threats in the office and saw David walk in, and decided to call the Sherriff.
Grabbing David around the neck Tig threw him out of the office and up against the wall before punching him twice in the face.
"You think you can come here lay your hands on my niece? You son of a bitch! I ought to beat your ass right here and now!" Tig seethed.
"Mr. Trager that's enough!" Ellie called.
"I want to press charges on this asshole for assaulting a officer!" David called.
"I walked in on you choking out my niece and I saw the bruise on her face! You'll be in the cell right next to me! Bastard!" Tig directed at David.
"I have a restraining order on him." Cassie walked out holding onto her stomach with the help of Gemma who had her arms around her. "Jacob helped me get it, and loaned me his truck just so I could get away and out of that environment. Uncle Alex came to my rescue. If he doesn't leave me alone I will press charges. I just want to be left the fuck alone! I'm tired of being his punching bag!" she added.
"Well seeing as this is 2011 I can press the charges seeing that your face is bruised and your have bruising on your neck. I'm sorry that he turned out to be such and abusive monster." said Eli.
"Well the one good thing about coming here was I found the remaining family I had left. There was nothing left in Atlanta after my mom died of an overdose. Now moving here I met her twin brother, and my half brother, and I found out that I have a younger half sister. Plus I met someone who is healing my damaged heart." said Cassie.
"I'm glad you found your family sweetheart as well as another job. I'm sorry that my wife had to let you go. But it wasn't her fault. The business just wasn't doing as well as she wanted it to so she had to make cutbacks." said Eli.
"I get it. Shit happens." walking over to Eli she whispered. "As a black man it's really shitty how you tried to pull the race card to blackmail someone. Poor guy was nearly in tears with guilt. Now listen here there is nothing there. Nothing!" Cassie had no idea if she was telling the truth about it being nothing or did she. Well it sounded good to her anyways. Showing the club that she was no rat and tha she could be trusted.
"I get it and I'm sorry. I was being blackmailed myself so I was up against the wall also." said Eli.
After the cops left Chibs, being a medic took a look at her face and neck. Seeing as there as nothing but bruising he gave her the okay. Feeling tired she decided to just leave early and head over to her brother's and unpack all of her stuff. She was tired and warn down.
She put all of her clothes away in the dresser in the guest room at her brother's house and then hung up her good clothes in the closet. It was walk in and she saw some soft emerald green sheets that were waiting for her on the dresser.
Gingerly she made her bed and then laid out the plush brown blanket and matching comforter. Both plush and soft.
Pulling back the covers she laid down on the queen sized bed. Tara wasn't lying. It was a sleep number. Taking the remote control she adjusted the bed to what she wanted it to be. Cassie felt like she was in heaven. She had never slept on such a comfortable bed in her life.
Laying down she kicked off her shoes and decided to take a little power nap. David shwoing up at her woke, choking her out and hitting her, and making a scene totally took a lot out of her. He tried to manipulate her emotions to get her to side his way. This time it didn't work, and Eli came on the scene and did something about it. She loved Eli Roosevelt for believing her and understanding that Hale was trying to use her emotions to get back with her.
"Aunt Cassie!" waking up she felt someone jump into bed with her accidentally hitting her ribs.
"Ow! Fudgesicle!" Cassie said editing her words.
"Love you! You okay?" the sweet little boy, her oldest nephew asked.
"I'm okay sweetie." said Cassie embracing her oldest nephew. The past couple days made her see things. One was she wasn't alone in world, and second to embrace her family. She had nothing back in Atlanta if she chose to go back. Her mom was dead and that was it. Though Charming on the otherhand she had her older brother, Uncle- her mom's twin brother, and her nephews.
"Come have pizza with us!" Abel was three at this point and he was just saying, and demanding, a ton of words.
"Okay give me five minutes and I'll be out in the kitchen okay." said Cassie.
"Okay Aunt Cass. Love you." said Abel as he ran out of the room. Cassandra, Cassie was just stricken. I love you Aunt Cass. She was feeling so many emotions at the moment. Hell if she would have never left with David she never would have found her mom's twin brother nor her biological half brother who had let her stay in his house after David became a dick.
What would have happened if she stayed in Atlanta, and what was that shit about. Your mom's brother fucked us over so we are coming after you to get revenge. That was the latest she had gotten.
Getting up out of bed she went to join her brother, his girlfriend or Ol Lady in biker terms, and her nephews in the kitchen for dinner.
"Hey sleeping beauty." Jax said.
"Hey. It seems like every time I start work something seems to happen. Tell your mother that I am so sorry about flaking out twice since I started working in the office." said Cassie.
"Not your fault you got a phone call from the past yesterday, and not your fault that it brought out alot of shit you didn't know about your family, and as far as today it's not your fault your ex showed up and acted a fool." said Jax.
"Yea well he got his ass beat by mom's twin brother and arrested by Roosevelt. Sorry butt. I keep forgetting my nephews are in the room and they pick up on words." said Cassie.
"Captian America had it coming. Seriously are you okay?" Jax asked gently touching the bruise on her neck from where David began to choke her out before her uncle intervened. Tara handed Abel a juice in his sippy cup, Jax a beer, and Cassie and herself a glass of Chardonnay.
"I'm fine. I'm just so sick and tired of being the punching bag. I didn't want to press charges. I'm no rat, but seriously how much crap do I have to take from this douche bag. I'm done. He changed after he got ran down and not for the best. He wasn't the man I fell in love with in college." Cassie ranted.
"Hey would you like to get out of town for a few days? Family vacation if you will and maybe you could help with the boys?" Tara asked.
"Sure what's up?" Cassie asked.
"Well I have a convention up in Oregon. Jax and the boys are coming with me, and I was wondering if you wanted to ride along as well to keep Jax company and help with the boys. He's going back down here with Rogue River, but I could really use some help with the boys." said Tara.
"Sure when do we leave?" asked Cassie. She needed to get out of town and seperate herself from David, and hopefully get away from whoever has been calling her. That same shit. Your mother's brother fucked up and you are the one who is gonna have to pay. Blah blah blah. She hadn't told anyone about the texts. She figured she would keep them to herself and she saved them just in case she needed to go to Roosevelt about them.
"Day after tomorrow." said Tara.
"I'm in." said Cassie.
Thinking of you. What are you doing-Opie.
Smiling at her phone Cassie texted back.
Eating dinner with my brother, his fiance, and the boys. You-Cassie
Just got home. Spending time with the kids-Opie.
That's good. I'm going out of town day after tomorrow with my brother, his fiance and their boys. I just need a break from this town. Too much bullshit-Cassie
I want to take you out on a date when you get back-Opie
Sounds good-Cassie
"Someone has a big shit eating grin on their face. Who might that be? Opie Winston?" Jax teased.
"Kiss my butt bro, and mind your own. I like him okay! But I'm not ready to jump in full throttle. This shit with David and this shit with the Lobos blaming me for something my mom's twin brother did. Opie and I are just talking." said Cassie.
"For now!" Jax smirked as Tara slapped him upside the head.
"Be nice Jackson!" she told him.
A/N: Hope you enjoy! Also Kozik doesn't step on the mine. Miles does. I never liked him and I like Kozik so much better. And I'm debating who in Laying Pipe is gonna get it. Cassie is either going to lose her Uncle, Brother, or the guy she is seeing. This makes it hard for that chapter that will eventually come up. Until then enjoy!
