Crash Into Me- Chapter 27
Quick update….hope you enjoy.
Jax pulled a hysterical Brea away from Dana as the doctors rushed to try to save her life. Her screams had subsided into silent sobs as she watch them load Dana on the stretcher and perform CPR. Brea knew her sister was gone and all their efforts would be fruitless. Henry was still breathing so they rushed him into surgery. As the police pulled up a nurse took a blanket to cover up Jasmine's body. There was nothing they could do for the girl. Happy got up, walked over to Mya and got on his knees in front of her.
"You ok baby girl?"
Mya was crying and Happy wiped her tears away.
"I'm so sorry baby girl." He kissed her cheek before a nurse told him his injury needed to be attended to. Chibs, Bobby and Jax quickly hid their guns in Brea's car before the cops got out their cars.
"What the hell happen here?!" Lt. Roosevelt asked as he surveyed the scene around him. Brea calmed down as best she could and told Eli what had happened leaving out a few details of Jax and the others drawing their guns. She did have to tell him that Happy shot the girl in self-defense as she had tried to shoot Mya but killed Dana instead and also shot her father.
Tig finally showed up after taking a huge shit in the restroom, saw the chaos and knew exactly what he needed to do. He needed to get to the security office and get the surveillance tapes. He didn't know exactly what happen but he knew there should be no video evidence. As for witnesses, they can always be persuaded in a different direction.
"Brea sweetheart we need to get Mya home. She does not need to be around this." Jax told her softly as he wiped tears from her face.
"I have to stay until they declare Dana and I have to call my mom." Brea said between a new onset of sobs.
"I can take the baby home and stay with her, Neeta and Abel until you guys get home." Chibs offered.
"Thanks Chibs." Jax hugged Chibs again, gave him the keys to Brea's car, and showed him which key was the house key.
"What do I say if she asks about her mom and dad?" Chibs whispered to Jax.
"Just tell her they are in the hospital for now and Brea will tell her what happen when she gets home." Jax looked over at Brea as Bobby had his arm around Brea's waist literally carrying her back in the hospital.
"I might be the one to have to tell her. I don't think Brea is up for it."
"Ok. I will see you at the house."
Chibs picked Mya up and loaded her into the car after Eli took her statement as to what she had saw. As he drove off Eli walked up to Jax perplexed.
"Jax how could this happen? A fourteen-year-old girl shoots two people and one of your guys had to shoot her dead. How in the world did it come to this?"
"It was a personal family matter of Henry Lin's and his daughter went postal."
"So Brea's sister was having an affair with Henry and My'Asia is his daughter and his other daughter tried to kill the little girl?" Eli shook his head in disbelief.
"Yep that sums it up. We were leaving the hospital because the little girl had poisoned Mya with alcohol yesterday."
"Jesus! Talk about dysfunctional…..you know I am going to have to question Happy about the shooting."
"I understand but you will see that it was clear cut self-defense."
"Alright. Stay local while we investigate this."
Jax nodded and rushed off to find Brea. He found her in the hallway hugging her brother Justin still sobbing. Justin nodded in Jax's direction when he saw him walk up. Brea pulled away and wiped her nose with a tissue that Justin provided.
"The doctors just left. There was nothing more they could do for her." Justin relayed to Jax. Justin was shocked at what had happen. His sister that he did not even get to meet was dead. Shot by a teenager. How was his little niece handling it seeing her mom and dad gun down in front of her?
Jax took Brea's hand and asked her if she wanted him to call her mom to let her know about Dana.
"No I will do it. I'm going to have to tell her about what happen to Mya yesterday. This is going to break her heart."
The rest of the day was a blur for Brea. Her mom and auntie showed up and as expected were inconsolable. She vaguely remembering hearing Tina Lin's screams when she showed up and found out about her daughter and her husband. She remembered Justin handing her two blue pills ordering her to take them and handing Jax a prescription for her. Justin did the same for his mom and aunt. More cops asked her and Jax questions, she signed paperwork regarding Dana because her mom was literally comatose. Happy was stitched up and demanded to be released. The bullet went straight through his shoulder and he felt there was no need to stay in the hospital, as he needed to get to Mya. Unfortunately, Eli had to arrest him due to the shooting until the investigation was complete.
"I will call Lowen." Jax told Happy as they escorted Happy out of the hospital in handcuffs. Gemma finally made her entrance, ran up to Sherry, and hugged her tight. Pamela rolled her eyes when she saw Gemma.
"I'm so sorry Sherry. I know the pain of losing a child."
Sherry just cried more in Gemma's arms.
"Baby?" Brea looked up at Jax whose gorgeous blue eyes were filled with sadness. "Let's go home. I need to get you home."
"I can't I need to be with my mom. Can you bring Mya over later? Have Neeta pack her and me an overnight bag?"
Jax was a little hurt, as he wanted to hold Brea in his arms all night and comfort her. She was right she needed to be with her family.
"Of course babe." Jax leaned over and lightly kissed her lips.
Brea held Mya in her arms as she cried after Brea told her that her mom had gone to heaven. Sherry leaned over and hugged Mya too as they were all sitting up in Sherry's king size bed.
"Daddy?"
"He is fine sweetheart. The doctors have fixed him up and he will be good as new."
"Come on let's try to get some sleep." Brea said as they laid down and snuggled together. Before Brea fell into a deep sleep with the help of whatever Justin gave her earlier she heard the rumble of a chopper pass by. She smiled to herself, as she knew it was Jax riding by to check on her and her family.
"Get it all out baby girl." Venus whispered to Brea as she held her hair back as she vomited in the toilet. Jax house was full of people the morning Brea and Mya had returned. She had stayed with her mom for a few days and helped her aunt prepare the funeral arrangements. Pamela's grief had become anger as she started to blame everyone for Dana's death from Henry to the Sons. Brea tried to reason with her that the Sons had nothing to do with her sister's death but she was not listening to Brea. Her two brothers Mark and Richard had come to town and were also staying with their mom. They knew about Dana and Henry's relationship and they always felt nothing good would come out of it except for their niece Mya of course. They had taken on Pamela's anger at Henry but listen to Brea's reasoning that the Sons had nothing to do with Dana's murder. Her brothers did try to talk her out of her relationship with Jax as they knew the Sons were outlaws and they did not want anything to happen to the only sister they had left. Brea appreciated their concern and told them she loved them but she was staying with her man.
Most of the club including Happy who was released that very morning, Venus, and Jessica who drove down as soon as she heard what had happen were in the kitchen and living room. Jessica visited her mom to comfort her but the relationship between them was so strain that Jessica chose to stay at Jax's house while she was in town.
Jessica and Neeta had made breakfast, after eating Brea became nauseated and had to run to the bathroom. Venus was not far behind her as she was worried for Brea.
"Is she alright?" Jax called from outside the bathroom door his voice laced with worry.
"She'll be fine." Venus called back. Venus helped Brea get cleaned up.
"You feel better?" Venus asked rubbing a wet washcloth on her face.
"Yeah…a lot better. Thanks Venus. I don't know what is wrong with me. I've been nauseated the past few days."
Venus pressed the back of her hand on Brea's forehead to make sure she was not running a fever.
"Well you're not running a fever. That is good." Venus studied Brea a moment.
"You think you could be pregnant?"
Brea frowned at the thought.
"No! I hope not." Brea grimaced
"Why would you say it like that? Do you not love him?"
"I do…but he hasn't told me he loves me and plus I can't deal or think of something like that right now. I just lost my sister."
"Ok sweetheart." Venus brushed a strand of hair out of Brea's face. "Your man is out there worried about you. We better go before he busts down the door."
Jax pulled Brea in a hug as soon as she walked out the bathroom. When she came home that morning, he could not help but be up under her as soon as she walked through the door with Mya. He did not leave her side for a second.
"Are you alright?" he asked kissing her forehead.
"I'm good." She whispered.
They found the Sons' attorney Lowen had come over and was in the kitchen waiting for Jax.
"It took everything I had and a piece of my soul but I got the charges against Happy drop due to self-defense. Witness collaborated that the little girl came at you guys with the gun. Happy you violated your probation by having a gun but again with relinquishing a piece of my soul you will get no time just an extension on your probation for another two years. If you violate again you will be back in jail looking at three to five years." Lowen told everyone in the kitchen.
"That's good news." Chibs said.
"I am surprise this incident didn't make the news." Lowen wondered what the Sons did to keep what happen out of the press. No one offered up an answer and Lowen let it go.
"I am sorry for your loss." She told Brea.
"Thank you." Jax and Brea said in unison. Brea looked at Jax surprised. He didn't lose a sister so why did he answer Lowen?
Brea got her answer when she, Jax, Abel and Mya pulled up to the funeral home that was holding Dana's wake later that evening. There were lines of bikes parked up and down the road and bikers from various Sons of Anarchy charters standing outside waiting for Jax arrival to go in.
"Oh my God!" Brea whispered as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Dana was family Brea because you are my family." Jax told her as he wiped the tears from her face.
"Oh Jax!" Brea leaned over and kissed him as she caressed his face.
Brea held Mya's hand, Jax held Brea's and Abel's hand and they walked into the funeral home followed by everyone else who was waiting outside. Brea found her family already inside sitting on one side and Henry with a few of his associates sitting on the other side. Henry's face looked hollow and drained. He looked like death as tears rolled down his face.
"Daddy!" Mya let go of Mya's hand and ran to Henry. Despite the pain from his wound to his chest, he hugged his daughter as tight as he could and planted kisses all over her face. The small chapel quickly filled up and was standing room as everyone entered.
"Why are these thugs here?" Brea heard Pamela say aloud to know one in particular.
"Pamela…please…they are here to show support for Jax and Brea." Sherry said hoping to shut her sister up. Gemma sitting on Sherry's other side squeezed her hand proud she realized why various charters were present. Jax let go of Brea's hand and wrapped his arm around her waist as she walked slowly toward Dana's black and gold casket. She looked so beautiful and peaceful laying in a pink dress Brea had picked from her sister's closet.
"She looks so beautiful." Henry said as he walked up and stood next to Brea. Henry took Brea's hand and squeezed it. "Brea I am so sorry."
Brea looked at Henry as fresh tears escaped his eyes.
"She wouldn't be dead if it wasn't for you!" Brea's brother Mark growled as he walked up behind Henry. Before Brea realized what was happening Mark and Richard had pounced on Henry knocking him to the ground just missing Dana's casket by inches. Jax, Tig and a couple of Henry's guys tried to pull them off of Henry. Brea tried to move out the way when Tig grabbed her brother Richard who was still swinging and his fist connected with Brea's nose. Brea fell back, hit her head on the edge of the hard wooden pew, and then hit the floor knocking her out briefly.
Brea came to with Justin and Jax in her face.
"What happen?" he head was killing her.
"Your brothers were being idiots!" she heard her mom say somewhere behind her.
"We need to get you to the hospital to run a CT." Justin said.
"No I'm fine." Brea started to get up and Justin stopped her.
"You were unconscious for a few seconds and I want to make sure everything is alright. Can you please let me run a CT? Brea you know as a nurse you should always take all precautions."
"Ok." Brea said weakly as Jax and Justin helped her up. As Brea got up she surveyed the scene. Henry was sitting on the floor by Dana's casket with a bloody nose and lip, a few members of the Sons had her brothers surrounded so they won't go after Henry again. Mya was sitting on Happy's lap looking scared, her mom was an emotional mess, Gemma was holding Abel with really no expression as she was use to chaos and her aunt Pamela had a look of disdain on her face. The funeral personnel had closed Dana's casket after the fight broke out and was pushing it out the room. It was too close of a call of the casket being toppled over when the fight broke out. Brea was so embarrassed. She could not believe her brothers would act the fool like they did. How was the way they were acting honoring their sister.
Passing Happy, Mya and Jess Happy told Brea he would bring Mya to the hospital. Brea stopped in front of Happy and shook her head.
"No…no more hospitals for her. You and Jess take her home please."
"Ok." Jessica replied as she took Happy's hand.
"How could you do this at our sister's wake?! You think she would have wanted this?!" Brea cried to her brothers as she walked pass them.
"We're sorry Brea!" Richard called after her.
Jax drove Brea to St. Thomas with Justin following behind them.
"I can't believe they did that!" she was so mad at her brothers.
"They were just angry and grieving. They need someone to blame." Jax told her.
Brea put her head in her hand as she had a piercing headache.
Brea was laying in the hospital bed after her CT scan. Her room was full with her mom, Venus, Jax, Gemma and Pamela who was side eyeing Venus.
"Everything is clear. No bleeding." Justin told everyone after he entered the room.
"Thank God!" Jax said as he squeezed her hand.
"Can I have the room please? I need to speak to my sister privately. Venus you can stay."
"Why does HE get to stay?" Pamela asked with disgust looking at Venus.
"Auntie please! Don't start!" Brea yelled at her. Pamela huffed and followed everyone out the room.
Brea looked at Justin confused as everyone left the room but Venus.
"She is isn't she?" Venus asked with a huge grin on her face. Justin nodded yes.
"What's going on?" Brea asked sitting up in the bed.
"Don't be mad at me but I asked your sweet brother here to run a pregnancy test. I knew you might be when you were sick this morning and you said you have been throwing up the past few days." Venus walked up and squeezed Brea's hand.
"You are pregnant Brea." Justin confirmed.
"What?" did she hear him right?
"You are pregnant sweetheart." Venus said with excitement.
Brea's face grimaced in horror.
"No…No….I can't be pregnant." Brea was really starting to question if she really was a nurse. How did she not know? Maybe cause your sister just died.
"You aren't happy? This is a blessing Brea. I know your sister is gone but look at it as a gift from her and God…..you're bringing in another life in this world. If it's a girl you can name her Dana." Venus tried to reason.
"Don't tell Jax." Brea told Justin and Venus.
"What? Are you getting rid of it?"
"I can't think about that right now. I have to bury my sister and Jax has too many things on his plate. He is not ready for another child. We aren't even married…and I don't know if he even loves me." Brea started to cry. "Please don't tell him….it's my choice." She sobbed.
"Ok sweetheart." Venus kissed Brea's forehead. Jax and the others piled back in the room once Justin left out.
"What's wrong?" Jax asked seeing her tears.
Brea wiped her tears away and smiled the best she could.
"Besides missing my sister…nothing…..just take me home."
