Donna was dead? Her sister in law, Opies wife, her niece and nephews mother, dead. Killed in a drive by. Clay said that the person had seen Opie driving the truck earlier that day. She didn't trust Clay. when they told her what happened she noticed Tig tense up. What did clay make him do? They saved that news for last. When she heard it she rushed out of the room. She doesn't cry in front of people. It was a sign of weakness to her.
The guys called her name but she just ignored them. Someone pulled on her arm causing her to spin around into their chest. Wrapping their arms tightly around her they rubbed her back trying to calm her down. "Its ok Sweetheart. Its ok." that caused her to break. She cried into his chest hugging him tight. "Its not right. She didn't deserve that Tig… she didn't deserve it.."
This made Tig feel more guilty than he already did. He kept whispering in her ear that it was ok. He didn't know what words to say. Hell he still loses sleep over it. Milo cried herself dry but all the crying made her ribs hurt more. "Why don't you go lay down?" nodding she started to walk away before stopping and looking at him.
"Whatever Clay had you do. I don't blame you." tig smiled sadly and she went to her room. She slowly started to undress, wanting to take a hot bath. She had her shirt halfway over her head when her bedroom door opened. "Sorry Doll thought you were clothed." groaning she let her shirt fall back down. "I am." Happy was concerned about the girl. She's different and he isn't sure if its a good or bad different. Stepping into the room he shut the door behind him. "Need help?"
"I'm gonna take a bath so there isn't much you can do." he stood quietly thinking. After a minute he instructed her to sit. So she sat on the bed as Happy walked in and out of the room and disappearing into the bathroom. She heard the water running and Happy walked over to her. He helped her undress down to her underwear. He was so gentle and careful. "Can you do this part or do you need help?"
She had him turn around as attempted to take off her bra. She smiled in success when she got it of. "Get in the bath and i'll be back in a minute." she listened and got in the bath. Happy had set up a few candles that smelled like vanilla. The room felt very relaxed. She pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around her leg setting her chin on her knees. She looked up when Happy walked into the bathroom.
He held up two beers, sat next to the tub and handed her one. "What are you doing?" he told her that everytime his mom was upset she would light some candles and take a bath. It helped her relax. "Only difference is i'm gonna sit with you. We all got the chance to mourn. You're not gonna go through it alone." this is a side of Happy she never thought she would see. And it made her smile. "Thank you Happy."
The two sat in a comfortable relaxing silence and occasionally Happy would rub her back. The only time Happy left her side was to get more beer. "Happy? You went Nomad. Is your mom ok?" his mom was fine. Well as fine as she has been. "She's ok. After you disappeared i had to get away." she looked away. She didn't mean to worry anyone.
"Hey. don't blame yourself. Its ok." Milo stayed in the bath until the water got cold. Happy helped her up and wrapped a towel around her. She smiled when he handed her some of his clothes to sleep in. this time she was able to dress herself. Happy picked her up and laid her on the bed. She had definitely gotten lighter and he didn't like it. Leaving her in the room he went to get her some food. Gemma had brought breakfast over this morning so he got a plate of that and went back to her room.
"Food?" handing her the plate he sat down and told her to eat. Knowing better than to argue she ate slowly so she didn't make herself sick. After she was full she set the plate on the nightstand. A question had been eating at Happy's mind. "If you had gotten released yesterday morning. Why didn't you show up until last night?" he knew it didn't take that long to drive from Chino to Charming. "I wanted to walk. I had been cooped up inside for two months i wanted to take advantage of the situation."
But walking meant leaving herself exposed to the Mayans. They could have seen her and she was in no position to run from them. She almost didn't make it last time. "The Mayans who were looking for me think i'm dead. They saw me lying in a pool of blood. I didn't move. I held my breath so it looked like i wasn't breathing." she made a decent point but he still didn't like the idea of her walking. Hell she is never making that walk again. Saying it sucked would be an understatement. Now she remember why she hates exercising.
"The whole time you were gone. I tried to get with other people. I couldn't do it." she looked at him wondering why he was telling her this. But she decided to humor him o she asked him why. "I felt like i was betraying you. It didn't feel right." Happy was practically torturing himself. He cared about Milo but he didn't want to be in a relationship with her because he felt like he was going to hurt her. "Happy you don't need to worry about that. We aren't together. You ca-"
"What if i want us to be?"
