Chapter 12
Hello everybody! Here is another chapter. I hope you enjoy and as usual I own nothing but my own thoughts. So I just realized that I screwed up and put Tara in the story a bit early! So we are going to assume that Abel is now in the toaster and Wendy is gone, I will fit that in somewhere this chapter. I also wanted to say that I really want to type in Chibs' accent but I am a teacher and it is really hard for me to deliberately misspell something.
Tara gasped as she looked at the mess that was Aria's back. She didn't even know where to begin. Aria would need stitches in many places and her entire back would need to be cleaned and disinfected. It was not going to be a pleasant experience and Aria refused pain medication.
"Aria, last chance, are you sure you don't want anything for the pain. This is going to hurt," Tara asked, holding a bottle of alcohol disinfectant.
"I'm sure. I can handle it, I've had worse," Aria whispered, her body shaking with the pain.
Tara nodded to Jax to hold Aria down while Chibs and she worked on her back. Tara poured the rubbing alcohol onto Aria's cut and bleeding back. Aria screamed in pain, struggling to remain as still as possible. It took Tara and Chibs two hours to stitch the cuts on Aria's back; with Aria passing out about thirty minutes in. Once they were finally done, Chibs shakily sat down and put his head in his hands, letting out a sigh.
"She will be fine, Chibs," Tara said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks Doc was there any signs of…you know," Chibs said, unable to say the word rape out loud.
"She has bruising on her inner thighs," Tara replied, shaking her head sadly. "I'm sorry Chibs, but I have to go. Abel is having his first surgery today and I am scrubbing in."
"Alright, Doc. Go take care of the little prince," Chibs said. "And thank you for taking care of my girl."
Tara nodded to Chibs before her and Jax left the clubhouse. Chibs was emotionally and physically exhausted as he sat there and stared at Aria's pale face. As the stress of the day finally got to him, Chibs' shoulders began to shake with his silent sob. He wanted to kill Brian for touching his girl. He didn't know what happened in that room, but the bruises and the fact that Brian was zipping up his pants when he came out of that room made Chibs' blood boil. He looked at Aria's unconscious and fragile form and decided it was time to pay Brian a visit. He stood to leave when a small hand grabbed his wrist.
"Where are you going," Aria whispered, her voice laced with pain.
"To deal with Brian," Chibs replied.
"Don't go, Filip, please," Aria whimpered.
Chibs was torn between his need for revenge and the woman he loved. Sighing in frustration he sat back down in front of her taking her hand in his. He kissed the palm of her hand and pushed her hair out of her face.
"I'm not going anywhere, lass. I love you, Aria," Chibs said, kissing her forehead. "I need to know what happened love."
Aria visibly flinched and closed her eyes, a tear rolling down her cheek. She took a deep breath and looked at Chibs.
"I was so scared, Filip. Charlie was beating me with his belt while Brian held me down. It felt like hours before Charlie left me in the room with Brian," Aria shuddered. "He…" Aria couldn't say that he almost raped her; she didn't want to tell Chibs that Brian had been two seconds away from thrusting into her when they arrived.
"Did he…" Chibs asked, swallowing hard.
"No, it was close, but he didn't get the chance. Filip, what happened to Charlie," Aria asked.
Chibs shook his head and looked down afraid of her reaction to him killing her father.
"Please tell me, Filip. I need to know he is dead," Aria whispered so low that he barely heard her.
"He's gone, lass. He will never hurt you again," Chibs replied.
"Ok. Can we go home, Filip? With him gone I am not afraid anymore. I know you guys will deal with Brian," Aria said.
"Yes, love, we can go home," Chibs replied, gently picking Aria up and taking her to the van outside, asking a prospect to follow on his bike.
Once they arrived at home, Chibs placed Aria in bed where she immediately passed out. He walked to the living room and flipped open his phone, dialing Happy.
"Hey Happy, how is our guest doing," Chibs asked.
"He started off being tough, but after all I have done to him he is crying like a baby," Happy replied.
"What have you done to him," Chibs asked.
"Come see for yourself brother; he is yours to kill," Happy replied, hanging up.
Chibs decided he was going to go handle Brian so his girl could feel safe for good. He wrote her a note and placed it on her pillow so she wouldn't worry when she woke up. He drove the distance to the warehouse and took in a deep breath before he set out to finish the job. He walked in the abandoned building to a gruesome sight. Brian was not recognizable; his face was a bloody mess. Happy had not only beaten the shit out of him, but he also, ripped off every one of his fingernails as well as dislocating every one of his fingers. Happy had also broken the boy's leg and possible fractured all of his ribs. Brian's breaths were coming out in short gasps and whimpers of pain. Chibs walked towards the battered boy and pulled out his gun. Brian tried to beg, but Chibs pulled the trigger before Brian even got the word please out. He sighed in relief that his girl was now safe and holstered his gun, leaving Happy and the prospect, Half-sack to clean up the mess. Nodding to Happy, Chibs walked back outside when his phone began to ring.
"Hello," Chibs answered, not even bothering to look at the caller ID.
"Filip," Aria sobbed into the phone. "Come home please, I'm scared."
"I'm on my way, lass," Chibs replied, jumping onto his bike and speeding off.
Chibs' heart constricted at the panic and fear in Aria's voice as he sped towards her house. He parked his bike haphazardly and ran through the front door. He didn't see Aria in the living room or the kitchen so he ran to the bedroom. He gasped at the sight he saw. Aria was huddled in the corner her arms wrapped tightly around her knees as she shook back and forth violently the sobs wracking her body. Chibs dropped to his knees in front of her and gently touched her arm, causing her to shriek and jump away from him.
"Aria, lass, it's me. It's Filip," Chibs said, reaching his hand out to her again.
Aria launched herself into his waiting arms and held on tightly, crying into his shirt. He loving rubbed her back and waited for her to calm down before asking her what happened.
"I had a nightmare. I was back in that room and Brian was on top of me again only this time you didn't come for me and he… he," Aria began sobbing uncontrollably.
"I will always come for you lass, no matter what," Chibs replied, holding her close.
A month later the nightmares were still coming; Aria was jumpy and was barely even able to stand Chibs' touch let alone anyone else's. She was sick of feeling scared and was determined to find a way to feel better. Chibs was trying his best to be patient and allow her to heal, but he craved her touch and he craved her body more than anything he'd ever craved before. They have a long road of healing ahead of them and little did they know that someone was about to complicate things more.
So I know it is again short, but it is the week of tests and papers do and I should really try and get one paper done tonight. Review and if the blizzard we are expecting cancels classes I will post a new chapter!
