Chapter 23: Please

It had been just about three weeks since Ravi had shown up and told me about mum. He had been sleeping in Chibs room and he was doing better than I was. On the start of the third week, Happy came into Tig's room and jerked my covers off me. He said, "Come on girl. I know losing your mum sucks, and I'm sorry we can't help more, but you need to get out of bed and move around. You can't just waste away here. Chibs needs you. Ravi needs you. Tig needs you. Hell, we all need you around here. You're a little bad ass who needs to eat and shower. I know all you have been eating for the past three weeks is crackers. Get out of bed, go take a shower, change your clothes and come downstairs so I can make you some chicken biscuits, eggs, hash browns and your favorite maple and brown sugar oatmeal. Please Reba." I made no move to get out of bed so Happy continued, "Reba, please. Don't make me go and get Gemma. She won't be nearly as nice as I am being about it. You need to move. I don't think Tig would want you to stay in bed. I know you're hurting, and I know it feels like nothing is going to get better, but it will. We will kill Major for all this shit he's doing, and you need to be here for that. Please think about it Reba, if you waste away here, then Major has won, and we don't want that. Besides, it has been three weeks. Tig and Bobby could be coming back any day now and we want to make sure that you are down stairs when we get word they are almost here."

That finally got a reaction out of me and I whispered, "Okay." My voice cracked and I hated how hoarse I sounded, but crying almost nonstop for three weeks does that to you. I finally sat up in bed and said, "Help me get to the bathroom then, so I can shower."

Happy obliged and let me put my arm around his waist so I could walk with his help. He sat me on the toilet and then turned on the hot water for me. He went back into the bedroom and brought me some shorts and one of Tig's t-shirts plus some undergarments to put on after I got out the shower. He sat my clothes down on the rack by the shower and left the door. As he was leaving I said, "Happy, thank you for helping me and getting me out of bed."

Happy said, "Yeah Reba it's good, I'll leave the bathroom door cracked and go get Wendy to come and sit up here to help you in case you need it."

With that being said, he cracked the bathroom door and I heard when he shut the bedroom door. I stripped down and climbed into the shower. I stood there for 15 minutes just letting the hot water run over my body. I washed my hair and bathed my body then climbed out the shower. I dried off and changed into my clothes Happy had brought me. Then I walked out of the bathroom and straight to Wendy.

She looked at me and said, "How are you holding up Reba?"

I looked at her and said, "Not going to lie, I have been better, but I am doing alright now given the circumstances. I was promised food from Happy."

Wendy smiled at me and said, "Yeah, I know. Let's go eat some of that food. I know Chibs has been missing you Reba. He hasn't known what to say or do. He just kind of shut down in his own way. He'll be glad that you're up and moving around now."

I forced a smile at Wendy and said, "I'll be glad to see him. I know Ravi has handled this better than I ever could, but I feel like it's my fault. I mean, Major left that note 'I will find her. You can't hide her forever. She is mine.', so technically, it is my fault. He wanted me, and because my mum sent me here to get me away from Major, she's gone." I blinked away my tears and Wendy just hugged me. Then I said, "Let's go face the music."

We walked out the door and down the stairs. The first thing I noticed when we got down stairs is everyone went quiet and stared at me. I didn't pay them any attention because the second thing is saw was Chibs sitting at the bar drinking alcohol even though it was roughly 10am. I glanced towards the kitchen and Happy was indeed making me breakfast and it smelt wonderful, but I didn't want to think about it right now. I went straight to Chibs and hugged him. I felt him stiffen at first then he must have realized who it was because he turned in his seat and pulled me into a proper hug.

I kissed his forehead and said, "I'm sorry I did that to you. I just didn't know how to react. I didn't mean to just shut down. I know you need me, and I need you too Chibs. I love you, big brother."

Chibs pushed me back out of the hug, looked me dead in the eyes and said, "Please, lass. Don't ye ever do that ta me again. I can't bear it. I was so worried 'bout ye. I'd never forgive myself if somethin' was ta happen ta ye. Tig would kill me, and I'd let him if I couldn't protect ye. I'm sorry I wasn't there for ye these three weeks, but I didn't know how ta respond and I hated it."

I let Chibs pull me back into the hug and said, "I know. I'm so sorry for it. I really am. I won't shut down like that again." I sat around with Chibs and Ravi until Happy brought my breakfast out to me. When he sat it in front of me, I dug in. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until it was placed in front of me. I saved my maple and brown sugar oatmeal and my chicken biscuits for last. When I had successfully finished my food, I felt a little better. I was far from being okay again, but I was one step closer. I couldn't wait for Tig and Uncle Bobby to get back. I lost my mum, and Uncle Bobby lost his baby sister. I knew that feeling all too well.
