{Hello everyone. Please continue to review, favorite and follow it all means a lot to me. I do not own the Sons of Anarchy only my own character(s) and anything else that you do not recognize.}
It had been a few days since I had seen Happy. After someone tried to shoot Clay, Happy went to do his job. I knew what that meant but, kept my lips shut when he told me goodbye. Clay and Gemma had stayed at the club late and I decided I would go home. The party was no fun without Happy. Even with Tig's effort, I only enjoyed it for a little while. So after a quick visit to see Abel, I drove home. I pulled off my heels from my sore feet in the car and started to walk towards the front door. I stood in front of the door fiddling with my keys looking for the house key when a sound in the bushes alerted me to something's presence. I stared over there curiously before I slowly descended the stairs towards the bushes. Once I got closer the bushes rattled again and my steps faltered slightly, "H-hello?" I stuttered out
When no other sound came from the bush I gathered my courage and leaned into the bush. The bush rattled again and a cat came barreling out of the bushes crying out. I jumped back in surprise and clutched a hand to my chest. "Jesus Christ!"
After a few deep breathes I turned away to go back into the house but I ran face first into a hard chest. I screamed but, a set of arms wrapped themselves around my shoulders drawing me into them. "Calm down Savannah, it's just me." Happy's voice drifted around me
I pulled back enough to look at him and I slapped him on the chest. "Don't scare me like that."
He gave a hearty laugh, kissed me on the forehead and grabbed my hand. "Come on, let's get inside you're getting cold."
I gripped his hand tight as I unlocked the door and stepped through with him. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek as he walked by me towards the table. I closed the door and watched him set a bag on the table top. I turned my head and tried to peak into it, he didn't stop me as I got closer and opened the bag. I was confused when I saw what was in there, it looked like a set up for a tattoo. I pulled back and looked at him confused. He gave me an unsure look, like he wasn't sure whether to ask me something or not. He placed his hand into mine and stared at me for a moment "I need to tell you something about me. My job with the M.C...I kill people, I hunt them. This is my job because I'm good at it. But, that's not what I need to ask you. After every job is done," Happy started to explain to me as he pulled up his shirt and pointed at the happy faces on his side, "I place one more face on my skin. To remind me every day that this is what I do, that this is who I am. I'm proud to be a part of the M.C. And I'm proud to be with you. I'm new to this and I'm not sure what do to but, if you are going to be my old lady you need to know this to."
My heart was racing as he spoke. I had a hunch on what he did for the club but to come right out and tell me was something I was not prepared for tonight. But, he was right. We had yet to talk about the confession we had in his dorm room. There was a lot that came with being an old lady and being able to accept what he does is one of them. I was the one that told him that I wanted to know everything. My hands reached out for the bag and I removed each item carefully. It had felt like a long time since I had touched a tattoo gun let alone tattoo someone. "I thought you said my work was childish." I mumbled
He cupped my chin with his hand and pulled my face to his. "I only said that because I didn't want to admit for someone with little experience that it was pretty good. Obviously there is little things you could do to fix everything up but, no your work is not childish it is better than an amateur apprentice. I trust you, I wouldn't give this to you unless I felt you would do a good job."
I squinted my eyes at him in a playful doubt but snapped the gloves on my hand. I placed my hands under his shirt and gently pulled it over his head. I continued to hook everything up in silence and Happy leaned against the table and watched me intensely. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous but, I knew being nervous was the first mistake a newbie could make. I pulled the trigger to make sure it was working before I knelt down in front of him. I came face to face with the faces on his side. There was quite a few of them to say the least. I pulled his skin and started the tattoo. My concentration completely on his tattoo. I didn't want to screw this up. I almost felt like he was testing me and I didn't know why. It didn't take long to complete the tattoo and after I was done I stood up to face him. "Well I do believe I am finished here Mr. Lowman. I don't suppose I should give you the aftercare talk?" I asked teasingly
His chuckle vibrated from him and I laughed along with him. The tense air around us was becoming less and less as the minutes went by. As I dissembled everything he came up behind me and placed his arms around my waist, pulling me into him. I smiled and embraced the feeling of security I felt with him. "Let's go to bed." Happy mumbled into my neck, placing a few kisses here and there
I tied the bag closed and wrapped my fingers around his and walked to the bedroom. This was the first time since the night in his dorm room that I had slept with him. I disappeared into the bathroom to remove my clothing and placed on a silk black chemise that hung loose around my body. When I came back into the room Happy was already under my sheets with my sheets clinging to his waist. I flipped the light off and spoke up, "I could get use to this." I teased
As I walked towards the bed Happy pulled me down by my waist and into his arms. "I could to."
I placed my head on his chest and listen to his heart beat. The best thing about it was that it matched my racing heart.
~~SOA~~
A knock sounded through my room, followed shortly by Gemma's voice. "Hey baby get up, I need you to come to the store with me?"
I let out a groan and rolled over in my bed, reaching my arm out to an empty space. My eyes blinked open slowly and I looked at where Happy was last night. We hadn't told anyone yet about our relationship. Not that we didn't want to but the time never seemed right. I had a feeling that Gemma knew but, she hadn't said anything yet. "You got twenty minutes." Gemma yelled through the door again
I slowly dragged my body out of bed knowing full well that Gemma would come in here and drag me outside in my chemise and not care. I slipped on a white dress with a belt on my waist and a set of black low inch heel with a belted strap. I quickly pulled my hair into a loose ponytail with hair falling around my face before I left my room. I grabbed an apple from the bowl on the table and my bag from the chair where Clay was sitting with his coffee. "Morning, where is Gem?" I asked taking a bite from my apple
Clay didn't have a chance to reply before the horn echoed from outside. "I would hurry kiddo before she comes in here for you." Clay told me
I nodded my head and walked out of the dining room. Just as I was leaving though Clay's voice called out to me, "Would you happen to know where Happy is? I tried getting a hold of him last night and got no answer. That's odd for him."
I hesitated for a second before I shook my head not daring to look back at him. "No, I haven't heard from him in a while. I thought he was done being my baby sitter?"
"Mmm." Clay replied
Gemma honked her horn twice more and I ran out of the house before Clay had the chance to barrage me with more questions.
~~SOA~~
"So, while I was driving home last night do you want to know what I saw?" Gemma asked me while we walked down the aisles
"I'm not sure. Is it going to get me in trouble?" I asked jokingly
"I don't know, you tell me. What was Happy's bike doing being parked a couple blocks from the house."
Gemma knew the answer before I gave it to her. She just wanted it to be said out loud. "We didn't do anything if that's what you're asking."
"Do you know what you're getting yourself into?"
"I wonder sometimes myself. But, Gem I want to be with him and I'm sure it will take some getting used to but I want to be in it for the long haul."
"You do know that means telling Jax and Clay right?"
I looked down at some bags of chips to avoid her eye contact as we rounded the corner of the aisle. Before I had a chance to reply to her, Cherry came out from behind me in a complete panic. "Gemma, hey Gemma. I got to talk to you." Cherry said in a rush grabbing Gemma arm
"Cherry? What's wrong?" I asked getting in between them so that I could be involved
Cherry looked to me then back to Gemma, "I didn't want to go by your place because I'm afraid the feds might be watching."
Gemma instantly stopped looking at the salsa and instead looked at Cherry curiously. "How do you know about that?" Gemma asked
"Wait, what's going on Gem? There are feds here?"
Gemma nodded her head but waited for Cherry to continue as we continued on down the aisle. "They just came to the nail salon looking for me. I called Halfsac and feds are going after all the women."
Gemma looked back at me thoughtfully before she continued on, "It's just a scare tactic, tell them you open beers and suck dick that's it. They got nothing."
Did Gemma think that they would go after me? Even if they couldn't make the connection between me and Happy yet, they could still make the connection with Clay and her. "I haven't been completely honest with Halfsac."
"I don't like where this is going." Gemma sighed
"Yeah I'm sorta married."
"What? How could you not tell him that?" I asked looking at Cherry shocked
"Sorta?" Gemma piped in equally confused
"Well he was a sadistic asshole. He wouldn't divorce me so I left. Took everything, took the car, took the money, took the dog." Cherry explained to us
I nodded my head when I realized why she was in such a panic to avoid the feds. If they got a hold of her she would be doing hard time. "You're wanted for grand theft." Gemma finished for Cherry
"And arson. I burned down our condo." Cherry topped off
"Nice touch."
I laughed and remarked, "Well that's one way to break up with someone."
Gemma gave me a warning glare but Cherry drew our attention back to her, "He was such a dick Gemma."
Cherry stopped to look back at the front doors and Gemma swore under her breath, "Jesus Christ Cherry."
"It's actually Rita. Cherry was our dogs name and she died, and I always liked it better than mine."
"Is there anything else that we should know?" I asked not meaning to sound cruel
"No."
"Well that sweet." Gemma smiled before she continued on walking
"What am I going to do, I love Halfsac it's going so good Gemma. What the hell am I going to do?"
"Well I would started off by not lying to him. If Kipp loves you as much as he says he does then he will love you either way." I piped in with my opinion
"You got to get out of here Rita." Gemma gave her opinion, drawing out her name
"But, I don't want leave him."
"They're going to threaten you with jail time."
"She has a point. Unless you're willing to put in the time so you can still be with him your only option is to run." I told Cherry
"Yeah but, I'm not a rat." Cherry tried to stick up for herself
Gemma stopped and looked between me and her before stepping closer to Cherry. "You ever been inside?"
Before she had the chance to say anything else the chime echoed in the store to tell everyone that someone else came in. Cherry looked behind me and ducked down swearing under her breath. Both me and Gemma looked to the front to see two feds coming in. I looked back to where Cherry was worried and watched the scene unfold around me. The one fed that was wearing a grey suit was walking down the far aisle when Cherry came out and smashed her across the face with a wine bottle. I placed a hand to my mouth in an effort to stop the laughter that threatened to bubble out. At least the girl had spunk. Gemma pinched me in the side and gave me another warning look. When I looked back to the front Cherry was in an agent's arms and a new agent walked into the building. She was dressed in a black suit with a blue shirt underneath and had medium length blonde hair. She just spelled queen bitch and as I watched her walk over to us, I couldn't help but glare at her. "Very impressive Vicky, hard to find good help these days." the lady criticized as she walked up to us.
She stood beside me and I looked between the two women beside me. Neither seemed to like each other and judging by the air around the women I decided that staying quiet would be my best option. "Know what you mean. That little tart doesn't know anything." Gemma replied pointing out the door
I followed her finger to find Cherry being pulled away by the agent that caught her. But, that wasn't what surprised me. No instead I found Happy sitting out front across the street watching the scene unfold around him. Gemma started to walk away so I continued to follow her. The agent placed her hands behind her back and followed us, "What about the porn star? We got her in custody to."
"She can probably teach you how to give a great hummer but, I'm guessing you got that covered."
"Mmm, I get by."
"Picking off the ones that have the most to lose. Smart that's how I would do it."
"Yeah I've seen you in action. You almost killed that one with a skateboard didn't you?"
"We've mended fences."
"I guess so, what was she doing asking for the queen's advice? What lies to tell?" the woman taunted
Both of them continued to get closer to each other and I stood on the side watching them closely. I felt something tug on my bag but, when I looked behind me all I saw was a mother and child walking behind me. Chalking it up to the child I turned around to face the conversation again. The lady reached forward and tucked some of Gemma's hair behind her ear, "I bet there's enough secrets in that pretty little head of yours to bury an empire."
Gemma smirked at the ladies attempt to persuade her and stepped forward to match her. "I'm just a wife and mother darling. You know you might want to unscrew that penis sometimes. It's fun being a girl, if you want me, you know where I live."
When she had nothing left to say back to Gemma, Gemma stepped back and walked away from her. I tried to follow her but the ladies hand gripped my arm stopped me in my tracks, "Let go of me now!" I warned as I tried to pry my arm from her fingers.
Gemma stopped and turned around again, "What do you think you're doing?"
"Well, mama bear. We will be taking her into custody as well."
"What? On what charges? I've done nothing wrong?" I denied
Another man came up behind me, taking me from her and starting to handcuff me. My purse was removed from my shoulder and the lady stuck her hand into my bag and pulled out a small baggie of crank. My eyes widened and I started to shout while the man pulled me out of the store. "That's not mine! Gemma please believe me that's not mine! I swear!"
Gemma didn't look like she believed what she was seeing unfold in front of her. But, her glare was not pointed at me instead it was pointed at the agent who held the baggie between her fingers. As I was dragged to the cop car, I looked over to Happy. He started to get off his bike and I shook my head to tell him to stay where he was.
~~SOA~~
I had been placed in an interrogation room for what seemed like forever before the same agent from before walked in. She came in with a folder that I supposed held my past that she was going to try and use against me. I had been preparing myself for this since I had been placed in here. I had dealt with my past already there was nothing I knew of that this chick could use against me. "I never got the chance to introduce myself, seeing as you arrived a little late in the game. I'm agent Stahl."
"I would care why?" I sassed
She smirked at me, "Well you definitely are catching onto Gemma sass."
"Why am I here? I know you framed me for that crank. I've been clean since I came here."
"I know but, I'm not here to talk about your junkie past. Instead I want to talk about what that record is going to impact for you. Sure you might get charged and go to jail for a few months but, who is this going to impact more. You or her?" She asked me while she took a photo from her folder and slid it towards me
I looked down at the photo to see me pushing a little girl on a swing. A little girl with bright blonde hair and bright blue eyes. I gently picked up the photo looking fondly down at the photo, "Where did you get this?"
"You're aunt gave it to us. You would be amazed at what people will do when you ask nicely."
I rolled my eyes and flipped the picture over. "Your last court date stated that as long as you stayed clean, out of trouble and got yourself together financially and emotionally, that within the next three years your plea for her would be re-evaluated. But, with what just happened I don't think that's going to happen. What will happen if you fail this time hmm?"
I bite my lip and glared down at the table. "If I have read here correctly you will be denied ever having the chance to know your daughter again?"
"What do you want?" I asked in a snide voice
"I know that you're connected to the club. That you're Clay Morrow's daughter, Jax's sister and from what I hear you know Happy Lowman pretty personally?"
I glared at her again and replied, "You're right I'm a part of the family. But, they are all motorcycle enthusiast that get together to fix and talk bikes."
"What about Happy?"
"What about him? He is a member, he has a bike and I know him so what?"
"Oh I think you know more about him than you're letting on?" Stahl smirked and slide two other pictures across the table
I looked down at it and I saw one of me and Happy holding hands out front of the house and another one of me tattooing his side. "You were watching me last night? Isn't that against the law or something?"
"Not, if someone anonymously sent it in to us."
"So what I gave him a tattoo, I'm sure somewhere in that know it all head you figured that out to."
"See I got curious and looked into Happy's criminal record. It seems every time he has gone back to jail he has more of these tattoos right here. "She tapped on Happy's side
"So, he likes those tattoos it's not a crime." I shook my head and slide the pictures towards her
She gave a snide look and put everything back into the folder. "Well, it seems that you don't want to play nice right now. I will go and enter this report and before I send this off and seal your fate with your child, I will be back to talk again. Think over what I just told you maybe you will remember something."
I watched her leave and I could feel the tears start to come to my eyes.
~~SOA~~
"Savannah?" a voice called out to me
I opened my eyes to the harsh light of the jail cell blinding me. My back ached from lying on the rock hard bed. I pushed myself onto my elbows and stared out to the same ugly wall that surrounded me. "Savannah are you there?"
"Cherry?" I called out and walked to the bars
"Yeah, what they get you for?"
"Crank. That bitch set me up."
"She set us all up hun." another voice called out to me
That's right Luann was taken in to. "What are they threatening you with?" Cherry asked
"Bringing back my past to bite me in the ass you?"
"I'm going to jail for life for arson and theft. Luann is going for seven years for intent to distribute and drug charges." Cherry answered
"That bitch is fucking with the wrong people. She can't get away with this." I swore
Both the girls hummed in agreement and the cells remained quiet. That was until the click of the key being used to open the door echoed against the walls. I thought it was just another guard and walked back to my bed but, then I heard Cherry's voice swear. I walked back to the bars to see Jax walking to Luann's cell after giving us a smile. "What are you doing here?" Luann asked
"We think the feds are pressing Otto." Jax replied
"Something's going on, they're letting me see him tomorrow."
"You got to get a message to him Luann, they're trying to use Rico act against the club. You got to tell Otto that he can't give them any info alright? Nothing no matter how small or old."
"Shit okay?"
"Alright?"
"I'll tell him."
Jax's rings clanged against the bars as he moved to my cell. He leaned in and his hands grasped mine. "What are they asking you?"
"About anything I've seen since I came here. Their using my position in the family to sway me into giving something away. I didn't rat Jax I swear."
Jax gave me a hard look and asked the one question I was waiting for, "Are you back on that shit?"
"No Jax I swear, that bitch planted it in my purse when I wasn't looking. Please Jax you need to tell Gemma and Clay the truth. Jax this bust can bury me, I can't have this on my record."
I looked into his sympathetic eyes and almost felt like bawling right there. "Okay, I'll tell them. Don't worry I'll contact our lawyer, don't say a thing."
I nodded my head and Jax kissed my forehead through the bars. Next was Cherry's, "What are they asking you?"
"Jax you got to, you got to take me with you man please." Cherry begged
"I can't?" Jax whispered
"That bitch wants to send me back to Nevada. I'm going to do hard time, like a hundred goddamn years. I can't do that. Your mom's right I'll rat if I stay in here. I'll rat! Come on! Please, please take me with you." Cherry shouted
"All right, shut up." Jax barked
Jax unlocked the cell and let Cherry out, taking her straight for the door. "Jax!" I called out
He turned and looked at me, "Tell Happy to."
He looked at me unsure of why I was asking him that but, looked to Luann and left. Luann swore under her breath and we both walked away to our beds. Just as I was falling asleep Luann asked, "What is she threatening you with?"
I paused not sure if I should actually tell her. But, if Stahl knew, it was only time before SAMCRO did to. "I have a kid."
Luann didn't reply right away either, "Boy or girl?"
"Girl...she has bright blue eyes and blonde hair that would shine in the sun. Her name is Stella and she is turning four in a month."
"Does anybody else know?"
"No, I had her taken from me shortly after I gave birth. I am able to go to trial in the next six months to appeal to have her back but, the condition was no drugs in my system or drug related charges. I blew it today. Stahl has me right where she wants me."
"Are you going to rat?"
"No. I know what happens to the people who do. But, doing that means I give up my daughter. I will never be allowed to see her again."
The tears that I was desperately trying to hold back started to bubble over. A chocked gasp escaped my lips and I pulled my knees into my chest. Flashes of memories of the times I had seen my daughter flashed across my mind. The last time I saw her started to break my heart and the thought of never seeing her again was making it worse.
(Luann p.o.v)
I was escorted out of my cell in the early morning. As I was being pulled out, I looked behind me to Savannah's cell. She was curled up in a ball, her face hidden under her arm. My heart broke for the girl in the cell, she was only in the family for a short period of time but I couldn't imagine having a child being threatened against me. It became obvious to me that this was a burden she had been holding onto for a long time. She honestly loved her child, her tears and sobs were enough evidence of that. I was placed in a van and quickly escorted to the prison and just as quickly I was brought to my husband. The moment I entered the room and was left alone I went straight into his arms. Our lips instantly finding each others. There was no way I was going to miss even a second of this time with him. I held his face in my hands and started to kiss my way across his cheek and to his ear. "Jax said ATF is using rico against the club, are the feds pressing you to turn because of me?"
"No, no, no baby. I took care of it, I got you clear." Otto told me while he pulled away from me to look at my face.
Realization dawned on me and I started to panic, "Jesus Otto, did you rat?" I bent forward to his ear again and whispered, "If Clay see's I got out, he'll know that you made some kind of deal and you know what they will do to you."
Again Otto pulled away from me brushing some of my hair back behind my ear. "Don't worry baby, don't worry. I'll get a message to the MC. Okay?"
I had no idea what he had planned but, I knew by the look on his face that we would both be safe. "I'm more worried about you, you got to be smart Luann. They'll do whatever they can to hurt us." Otto soothed me
As he spoke the images of Savannah came to my mind and I leaned closer to him again, "Otto there is girl that they are trying to use to. Clay has a daughter but, she has a daughter of her own. One that she is trying desperately to hold onto. Is there any way we could help her? We weren't able to have our own I couldn't imagine having my child just to have her taken from me like that and then dangled in front of me like a carnival prize."
Otto contemplated this but nodded his head. "I will see what I can do."
I smiled and gave him another kiss on the lips and wrapped myself in his arms. The tears started to flow over my cheeks and I could feel my body shake. I will never hold my husband again like this. The ten minutes that we had used seemed like only seconds. I knew that if I stayed any longer, it would be just that hard to leave him. I gave him one more fleeting kiss before I pulled away and stood up.
(End of Luann p.o.v)
I had no idea how long I had been asleep for. My eyes were puffy and sealed shut from all the crying I had done the night before. A tap on my cell bars let me know that someone was there. I rolled onto my back to see a guard unlocking my door and Gemma standing there. I stood up confused "You are being released. The charges have been dropped." the guard told me
I didn't say a word as I was given my property and escorted out of the building with Gemma. But, the moment I got outside I spun around on Gemma, "What's going on?"
Gemma gave me a warning look, "Hurry, we need to get to the cabin. A member in Stockton made a phony deal with the ATF to get you and Luann out of there."
"But, that means he rated?" I asked
"Not exactly, he did quite a number on her from what I understand. She can't go back on yours and Luann's release because the paperwork already went through. But, our member will serve longer now for what he did for the club." Gemma explained
I stopped and looked at Gemma, "You do believe me when I say that I had nothing to do with that crank right?"
Gemma stopped and looked back at me. She smiled and walked up to me, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me into her. "Of course baby, I didn't believe for one second that you did. And just for the record neither did anyone else, including Happy."
She gave me a quick kiss on the forehead and pushed me towards her car. I honestly had no idea where we were going but, Gemma seemed to be in such a rush I didn't want to question her. "Oh, this came in the mail from your aunt. She said you had left it at the house."
After I had strapped myself in, I had reached for the box. I took out my house key and slit open the box and pulled out my mother's pendant that she always wore. It was a long silver gold chain with a small silver dragon shape surrounding a navy blue crystal. I placed the box on the floor at my feet and held the chain in my hand.
~~SOA~~
We had been at the cabin for almost an hour and I was watching as the Irish man was being checked on by Tara. From what I understood was that Cherry and Halfsac had been hiding up here since Jax bailed her out and the Irish man had been up here longer than that hiding from the feds. Now Happy was on his way to bring them both across the border and away from Charming or anyone that could arrest them. I could hear a vehicle pulling up to the cabin and I looked outside to see a cargo truck outside along with Jax on his bike. Happy hoped down from the truck and I looked back at Gemma, "Their here."
"Okay I'll go get the kids." Gemma told us before leaving down the hall
I opened up the door for Happy and Jax. Happy didn't come in right away, he gave me a wave and started to open the truck. Tara had finished checking the Irish man's wounds so while she went and talked to Jax, I helped him stand up. "Irishman good to go?" Gemma voice called out rather loudly through the room
When I looked over I saw Tara and Jax standing pretty close together. The look on Gemma's face said that she wasn't happy about this. Gemma surprised everyone in the room when she grabbed Tara's face and kissed her on the cheek. I only paid attention to this for a moment because Happy walked in. "Ready for the road trip kids?" Happy asked
Everyone started to get up and leave and I tried to make it to Happy but, Cherry grabbed my hand. I looked back to Happy to see him already leaving and I bite down on my lip. I looked back to Cherry and gave her a hug followed by Gemma giving her a hug as well. "No more burning down shit." Gemma warned
"Right." Cherry smiled
"You have my number Cherry, don't be afraid to give me a call every once in a while. Be safe out there, anything you need you let me know." I told her
"Actually there is one thing?" Cherry whispered looking out the door in front of her
"What is it?" I asked when Cherry didn't continue
"Look after him will ya?"
I laughed a little and nodded my head giving her a hug again. Halfsac came in to grab Cherry again and I let her walk by me. I was happy that they found some form of happiness and I followed them to the door. I watched as Happy helped the Irishman into the truck before he walked back. I needed to talk to him before he left so I quickly stepped down the steps following him around to the other side of the truck. "Hap!" I called out to him
He looked back at me hesitantly but, stopped walking. I finished the distance between us and looked down to my fingers. "How long are you going to be this time?" I asked
"No more than a few days but, I'm thinking going Nomad. Go take care of my ma."
I looked up at him shocked but, this seemed to pain him as well. "Your moms out in Bakersfield?"
"Yeah," Happy said while he stuffed his hands into his pockets, "I got to go Savannah. I'll talk to you about this when I get back."
"Are you going to leave me?" I asked in a trembled voice
Happy's jaw clenched shut "We will talk when I get back."
"Hap...do you believe that I had anything to do with my charge?"
He took a step towards me and gave me a light kiss on the lips. "Of course I don't but, I don't want that to happen again. You have to be more careful around people like that."
Someone in the truck honked the horn and Happy looked at me intensely before he walked away. I found my hand drifting to the necklace around my neck. "Happy!" I shouted once again
I ran up to him pulling the chain from around my neck. "Please take this with you. I know it seems silly but, it was my mothers. It will put me at ease to know that she will be watching over you?"
Happy reached out and pulled it from my fingers. "Thank you Savannah."
Happy leaned over and kissed my cheek one more time before he disappeared into the truck. I watched from the sidelines as everyone pulled away. I didn't just feel like I lost a friend, the worry crept up my spine that I would lose Happy to.
