Chapter 22: Broken
I felt everything in my body shut down at Ravi's words. I dropped to my knees and just wept. I wasn't listening to anyone. I couldn't hear anything. My heart broke even more. She sent me away to protect me, and she died for it. All the missed calls and texts made sense now. I haven't really been checking my phone since I've been here. I would talk to Mum and Ravi every Saturday and that was it. I didn't need it here. I was with everyone I cared about. I felt guilty for not talking to my Mum more. I felt feet pounding against the concrete rushing over to me. Suddenly, I felt arms pick me up off the ground and I felt whoever picked me up motion towards the clubhouse for Ravi to follow us. I still couldn't see who had picked me up through my tears, but they took me up to Tig's room and laid me on the bed.
I finally saw that it was Happy who had brought me and Ravi upstairs. I vaguely heard him trying to talk to me, so I focused on his words to make out what he was asking me. Happy said, "Do you want me to call Tig to get him back here for you?"
I nodded my head at him and Happy walked to the other side of the room. Ravi was sitting at the foot of the bed and I sat up so I could lay my head on his shoulder and just cry. He put his arm around my shoulder and rubbed my arm. I kept telling Ravi over and over in my head 'I'm sorry.' I felt like this too was my fault.
I jumped when Happy yelled out, "DAMMIT!" He looked at me and said, "I'm sorry Reba. I didn't mean to yell. Clay took the phone from Tig and said only one of the three could come back and I had to send someone out to them first before they sent anyone back. Luckily, they aren't but about 20 minutes out. I'm going to go send Opie out there. Hopefully Clay will send Tig back here, but I don't know. Clay's an asshole."
With that Happy walked out of the room. I looked at Ravi and said, "What happened? Was it Major?"
Ravi looked down at me and said, "Let's wait to talk about it until someone is back here so you don't have to reiterate what happened. Let's just not think about it right now. We need to be strong for your Mum. She wouldn't want us to be consumed by vengeance."
Ravi and I just hugged while we waited for anyone to be back. Happy came back in at one point to try to bring us water and crackers. The next time the door opened, Chibs came strolling into the room and ran straight to me and held me as fresh tears fell from my eyes.
Chibs kissed my forehead and said, "Lass, are ye okay? What happened? Do ya need me to kill someone for ye?"
As Chibs listed off his questions in quick succession I kept shaking my head no at him and he just pulled me tighter. I heard Ravi when he got up off the bed and said, "Hello, you must be Filip. I'm Ravi. Reba's mum, Liv's, husband. I'm glad to finally meet you, but I'm sorry it's under such circumstances."
Chibs shook Ravi's hand and said, "Thank you for raising her and call me Chibs."
Ravi said, "Shall we get the gentleman that was here earlier and sit and talk?"
Chibs replied, "Aye, let me go get Happy and Jax and then we'll talk. Jax is Vice President around 'ere while Clay is on a trip and Happy is like his body guard."
Ravi nodded his head at Chibs and pulled me into his arms while Chibs went to get Jax and Happy. When Chibs had his hand on the door knob I said, "Chibs, why didn't Clay let Tig come home too. I'm sure Kozik could have went in his place?"
Chibs looked back at me and said, "Aye lass. I'll explain why when I get back up 'ere." I nodded my head and Chibs left. He returned about 5 minutes later with Jax and Happy in tow. When they walked through the door, Chibs shut it and locked it so no one could come up here and bother us. Chibs said, "Okay, lass, Clay would only let one of us come back, I don't know why, but he said, 'Only one of you can go check on the little bird, or none of you can go. That's the deal.' So of course, Bobby said, 'One of you two go, I need to be here to make sure Clay doesn't do something stupid.' I told Tig to come back 'ere, but Tiggy insisted ye probably needed me more since I was your brother and all. I tried to get him to come back Reba, but he was adamant about me being your blood that I needed to come be with ya. Ya know he would be 'ere if he could be. He wanted to, but Clay wouldn't budge on it."
I nodded my head at Chibs' explanation and turned towards Ravi. I said, "Okay, what happened Ravi? How is she just gone?"
Ravi blinked back tears and said, "I pulled into the after work. We were about to call you and tell you we thought Major was gone, and we could come visit you, or you visit us, if you wanted to. When I got out the car, I noticed the door was slightly ajar, I didn't think anything of it because we have a screen door now, and sometimes your mum would leave the normal door open or cracked so we could get some fresh air." Ravi paused and took a deep breath and continued, "When I walked in, nothing was out of the ordinary. I went to take off my shoes by the stairs and that's when I saw her. She was laying and there was blood everywhere. I yelled in anguish and looked around. I happened to glance at the mirror in the hallway by the stairs and I saw it written on the mirror, 'I will find her. You can't hide her forever. She is mine.' At the bottom of the mirror was one letter."
I knew what he was about to say, so I said it for him, "M."
Ravi nodded his head as the tears fell from his eyes. "I wiped the mirror off with bleach and smashed it, then I left. I needed to get here before he could find you. I called the cops with an anonymous tip that I heard screaming and gave them the address. I couldn't risk being there and not being to protect you. That is what your mum always told me. We would talk every single night when we were going to sleep. She always told me, 'Ravi, if it comes down to it, if you can only protect one of us, I want you to protect Reba for me. She needs you in her life more than she needs me. You two have a bond unlike any other stepdad/stepdaughter I have ever seen. You two are so close, closer than she and I are, and I need you to be there for her if anything ever happens to me.'"
I started crying at Ravi telling me what my mum used to say about us, and I felt my heart break just a little more. I didn't know how much more heart break and pain I could take. Everything in my life was falling apart. I was happy Chibs and Ravi were here, but I wanted Tig and Uncle Bobby back.
