Chapter 14

I ran out the door with Murphy not far behind. I jumped in his car and took off leaving only burned rubber behind me. Connor, Audrey and Rocco were all squished together in the backseat. Murphy sat shotgun, just staring at me. I was in a rage that I couldn't even explain. I heard Connor from the backseat telling me to slow down a bit so that we didn't get pulled over. My knuckles were as white as snow until Murphy touched my thigh ever so lightly. I started to slow the car down a little bit, I knew that Connor was right though. Once I got out of Boston and on open highway I hammered that engine as hard as it would go. It was so late that there were no cars on the roads and I could tell where all the cops were hiding.

What would've taken me over 4 hours I did in just under 3. Once I crossed into New Jersey I called Tara and told her that I was almost there. She was still shaken up a bit but her tears seemed to stop for now.

As we pulled up in front of the apartment building Murphy asked me

"Wha' are ye goin' te do Rayne?"

I looked deep into Murphy's eyes and replied

"I'm gonna kill him."

We all got out of the car. The boys looked around to make sure the streets were clear. Connor woke up Rocco, who was fast asleep as soon as we got on the road. Audrey and I ran up the stairs two at a time. We knocked on the door and yelled to Tara that it was us. She opened the door a crack to make sure that it was us at the door. When we walked in she tried to hide her face from me. I grabbed her lightly and turn her around to face me. I was in shock at the sight before me. Her beautiful face was so bloody and swollen. Her lip was split open, her eye was almost swollen shut. My poor Tara didn't look like herself at all. The boys walked into the apartment but only far enough so that they could shut the door. I could see the hate and angry in all of their faces. Rocco on the other hand looked like he was hit by a ton of bricks. You could almost hear his heart breaking for her.

I sat her down on the couch and we began to talk

"What happened Tara?"

"He just went fucking crazy Rayne. I caught him in the bathroom doing lines off the sink. I don't like that kind of shit so I told him to get the fuck out of my house. Th...then he went crazy. I busted his lip after he hit me the first time though. He hit me again so I kicked him in the balls. He threw me on the ground and then he left."

Audrey went into the bathroom to make sure that there was nothing left of the cocain. Audrey came back with a wet hand towel to try and clean all the blood off of Tara. I have only seen Audrey this quiet a few times before. It was during the time when she was taking care of my own wounds. She may be just a dental hygienist but she could stitch a wound like no ones business. You would be surprised what a dental hygienist really does to someones mouth.

I started to pace around the room as Audrey cleaned Tara up and treated her wounds. I looked up at the boys sitting at the kitchen table. I had motioned for them to come in and sit down after Tara and I were done talking. I opened up a window and lit a smoke. I knew that Tara hated it when I smoked in the house but tonight was different. If I didn't chain smoke I was never going to be able to handle all of this shit. I pulled up a chair to sit in front of the window as Connor asked

"Is she alrigh' Ray? Wha's te plan now?"

"I don't fucking know Connor!"

I snapped at him. I hated myself for it as soon as it came out of my mouth. I looked over my shoulder at him

"I'm sorry Con. I'm just on edge right now. Tara of all people doesn't deserve this. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I know it wont end good for Joe, I can tell you that for sure. We are going to have to stay here tonight just in case he comes back in the morning."

Connor nodded at me. We all looked up to the doorway when Audrey came though

"I think that we should watch her tonight to make sure she doesn't have a concussion. We are going to have to wake her up every few hours."

"We can' let ye girls take on all tha' work by yeself. Ya 'ave te let us 'elp ye"

said Murphy taking a drag of his cigarette. He got up from the table and walked into the living room where Tara was. I watched him bend down in front of her.

"ello Tara"

"Hi Murphy"

"are ye feelin' any bet'ta lass?"

"I'm doing better now that all of you guys are here. I'm sorry that you got dragged all the way out here."

"Don' ye be sorry. Me an' the lads came te 'elp ye. I need te kno' if ye are okay wit' us stayin' 'ere an' watchin' ov'a ye tonigh'?"

"Yea I'm okay with that. Thank you for coming."

"Your welcome lass"

I smiled to myself as I watched Murphy talk to Tara. He was so kinda and gentle with her. She laid down on the couch and curled up into a ball. Soon after we all needed to get some sleep too. Audrey woke up Tara and took her to bed. Connor soon followed after her. Rocco took his place on the couch and was very quiet the whole time we were there. I have never seen him so quiet before. The wheels in his head were defiantly turning. I took Murphy by the hand and led him into the other room, which used to be my room. I knew that Tara would use my closet to store blankets in so I grabbed a few and handed them out. I made a bed on the floor for us. Not like I was going to be able to get any sleep anyway. Murphy took off his boots and laid down, then motioned for me to come lay with him. I too took off my shoes, then laid next to him. I was looking into his eyes as he stroked my hair. He could see the pain in my face and I could see the worry in his. I whispered to him

"Thanks for being so sweet to Tara earlier. I don't know what I would've done if he...if he"

Then I started to cry softly so that no one else could hear. He took me into his arms and tried to quiet me down.

"Shhh it's alrigh' love. Ye can' thin' like tha'. All ye need te do is take care o' ye friend. Ye 'ave te be strong fir her."

He kissed my forehead and wiped away my tears. I felt my heart flutter in my chest. I smiled at him placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"I guess I owe you a really good lap dance after this one, huh?"

"Aye, now tha' sounds like a good idea te me. As lon' as I git te use them handcuffs on ye."

"Now your speaking my language"

He had a wonderful smirk across his face. That was the last thing I saw before I fell asleep.

Connor came in the room and woke me up 3 hours later. It was my turn to watch over Tara for a few hours. The faint light of dawn was creeping into the apartment while I was walking over to the window to have a smoke. I sat down in the chair and kicked my feet up in the window sill. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. I could hear movement behind me but I was so tired that I didn't bother opening my eyes. I already knew who it was. He leaned against the wall next to the window

"'ave I told ye how beautiful ye are in the mornin'?"

I opened up one eye

"Mmm yes, but you can tell me again if you want"

"well ye are love"

I opened up both eyes this time. I got up out of the chair and threw my arms around him. I whispered so lightly in his ear that I felt the goosebumps form all over his flesh.

"Why are you so good to me Murphy?"

"cause I love ye an' the Lord put me on this earth te do two thin's. One is te clean up te fifth tha' rape an' murder the innocent. The otha is te be with you."

I was almost speechless. I just couldn't understand for the life of me what he saw when he looked at me. Although I'm sure that he couldn't understand what I saw in him. I ran my fingers through his hair and kissed him slowly telling him that I loved him. As I went to walk away toward Tara's room I got a light smack on the ass. I turned around, pointing my finger at him, telling him not to start his shit. When I made it to Tara's bedroom door I could hear soft voices. It was then that I realized that Rocco wasn't on the couch anymore. He was sitting on the floor on the side on Tara's bed talking to her. I opened the door more so that they would see me. She looked a little better but still looked so tired.

"Hey girl, how ya feeling?"

She sat up and said

"I'm feeling better now but my lip is killing me now. I hope his balls hurt just as bad, friggin asshole."

"Oh I'm sure they do. Look I have a plan to make this all better but I need your help."

She looked at me with a hint of fear. I think she knew what I planned already when she asked

"Are you going to kill him Rayne?"

I could see it in her eyes that she had feelings for this asshole. Despite the fact that he still put his hands on my friend. Now I'm not sure if I could actually kill him. That look was breaking my heart. When I first arrived I was fully ready to blow his damn head off but now I wasn't so sure. Could I do that to Tara? No, I couldn't.

"Don't you worry about that right now. All I need you to do is call him and tell him that you want to make up and that your sorry. I need you to get him over here. He needs to believe you. Then I will take care of the rest."

She nodded and picked up her phone. I left Rocco in there with her so that she still felt safe but didn't have everyone staring at her. I could hear her talking but couldn't make out anything she said. Connor was still awake and sitting on the couch. I went over and joined him

"Is Audrey still sleeping?"

"Aye"

"We are going to have to wake her up soon."

"I'll go an' wake 'er in a bit. Now lass, wha's the plan an' this time try not te bite me head off."

"yea sorry about that Con. Well I told Tara to call him and get his ass over here. After that I'm not really sure what to do. I don't think that I can actually take his life but I am going to hurt him."

"Killin' aint the kin' o' life ye need love. Tha's wha' Murph an' I are 'ere for."

"We cant kill him though Connor. She still has feelings for him and even though he beat the shit outta her. She still loves him. It would be like taking Audrey away from you or Murphy away from me."

"Aye lass I 'ear ya. We 're gonna rough 'im up a bit though righ'?"

"Ohh hell yea we are but we need to do it fast. We have a long night ahead of us."

Murphy walked into the room and asked

"is she comin' back wit' us then love?"

"Fuck yea she is. I ain't about to leave her here and have that fucker come back."

Just then her bedroom door opened. She appeared with Rocco holding her hand and guiding her over to the couch. I saw a smirk on Connor's face and had to elbow him so that he would get his game face on. Rocco spoke up

"That rat bastard is on his way over."

"good"

is all I said. We all devised a plan to take him down as soon as he walked in the door. The boys agreed to hold him down while I did what I needed to do. Connor went to wake up Audrey and let her know what was going on. We didn't have to wait very long before there was a knock at the door. Rocco told Audrey to stay in the bedroom. Connor, Murphy and I were pressed up the wall as Tara answered the door. As soon as he entered the apartment the boys grabbed him and threw him down on the floor. Tara shut the door and was taken down to the car by Rocco. I kissed her on the forehead as she was leaving and told her that I wouldn't hurt him to bad.

He struggled against the boys but they kept him in his place. I looked down at him and flipped open my blade that I always keep on me.

"Why hello Joe. How are ya buddy?"

I felt the rush of adrenaline again coursing through my veins. I wanted this man to pay for what he had done. A whole new side of me was beginning to creep out. The dark and twisted side of myself that I locked away deep inside. He had pure fear in his eyes at this point.

"What the fuck are you doing here Rayne?"

"You don't get to ask the questions here Joe, I do! Like the question...why the fuck would you ever lay your hands on her!"

"Hey I came here to say I was sorry. I didn't mean to hur..."

Poor Joe was cut off from his little speak by my fist connecting with his jaw. I damn near fell over from the force I hit him with.

"Yea well I didn't mean to hit you either. Now here is the deal, fuck stick."

I held my blade to his neck just under the jaw bone and applied just the tiniest amount of pressure.

"You are going to get all of your shit out of this apartment. Then your going to walk out of the building and NEVER come back. I don't want you contacting her ever the fuck again or so help me God I will hurt you down and kill you."

With those words I applied more pressure till he hissed in pain. A tiny trickle of blood started to run down his neck. My eyes were wide and dark with anger. I pulled the blade away from him and stood up.

"Your a pathetic excuse for a man, Joe. You would be wise to remember that REAL men don't fucking hit the women they love. And just so you remember that. I'll give you something that you will never forget."

I leaned down again except this time really slowly. Like I was stalking prey in the woods. He was almost in tears at this point. He looked so terrified, so pathetic. It was sad really, that I had to break him down to this. When I got closer to him I tried to quiet him 'Shhhh' I told him. Then I drew my blade across his face so deep that I could feel the muscles tear underneath. He cried out in pain but I didn't care.

"Don't worry Joe, that will heal up just fine."

Before I stood up I took my blade and sunk it into his thigh as hard as I could. He cried out but Murphy muffled his screams with his hand. I got up and walked out to the car to see if Tara was alright. Before I left I could hear the boys roughing him up a bit. Fuck him, he deserves it. I jumped in the passenger side and sat down. Tara was passed in the back seat curled up next to Rocco. Audrey was sitting on the hood smoking a cigarette. Then the boys appeared with Joe. When they got to the bottom of the stairs they tossed him aside. Audrey walked over to Joe and slugged him really hard then spit on him. She then hopped in the back seat as Rocco grabbed Tara and placed her in his lap so that he didn't have to wake her up. Connor followed suit. Murphy saw me in the passenger seat and knew that I wanted him to drive. I gave Joe a death stare as we drove off back to Boston.
