Chapter 5
The next morning, I wake up before the guys and just lay there thinking. They both barely know me but want to be with me and they make me feel safe. The more I think about things the more I want to be there when Chris gets there. "You're thinking to loud little girl." Happy rasps as his arm goes around me and I don't say anything. Turning me onto my back, he looks at me. "What are you thinking about?" he asks. "Just all of this with Chris." I say but don't look at him. He tilts my chin up and whispers "We won't let him get to you." before kissing me softly. "He's right Willow. He won't get near you." Quinn says from the other side of me. "What if I want to get near him?" I ask. "No." Happy says. "Just hear me out." I say. "No. The shit he did to you? You're not getting near him." Happy says. I get up and head to the bathroom and say "Doesn't fucking matter anyway." I shut the door and lock it. Sitting on the floor against the door, I start to sob.
A couple of minutes later I hear a voice at the door. "Willow, sweetheart, open the door." I hear Venus say but I don't move. "Baby girl, let me in. I just want to make sure you're okay." she tells me and I unlock the door. She opens the door and I see Happy, Quinn and Tig standing there looking my way. Venus walks in and closes the door and I sit down on the tub while she sits on the toilet. "Now, tell me what's going through that pretty little head of yours baby." she says. "Happy said him and Quinn wouldn't let Chris near me. I said something about me getting near Chris and Happy shot that down. Wouldn't even hear me out. Doesn't matter though." I tell her. "Why doesn't it baby?" she asks. "Venus, he was raping me. I'm so fucked up and those two telling me they want to be with me and I can't. All I see when I close my eyes is Chris beating the shit out of me and raping me. Venus, I don't want to be here anymore. I wish he would have killed me." I sob and she pulls me to her and holds me like a mother would. "Don't say that sweetheart. We love you and we need you here. And those two men out there? They want you here." she tells me. "How do I get past this?" I ask. "Let me talk to the guys. Why don't you get a shower." she tells me and I nod. She walks out of the bathroom and up to the guys. "Guys, I think she needs to do this. She needs to face this guy and take her power back. You two told her you wanted to be with her but all she sees is him hurting her. She needs to face him so that she can move on." Venus tells them. "She's right guys. She needs to make him feel what she did." Tig says and they look at each other.
A few minutes later, I walk out into the bedroom freshly showered to see only Happy and Quinn sitting on the bed and in the desk chair. "You want to see him?" Happy asks. "I want to be the one to make him feel what he made me feel. I need this Happy." I say. He stands up and walks over to me. Cupping my face he says "Any time we feel you can't handle it, we handle it. Understood?" he asks. "Understood." I tell him. Kissing me softly I say "Thank you." Quinn walks over and kisses me and says "We got church in five." I look at him and he says "We'll let the guys know you're going with us and talk to them about us claiming you." I nod. Quinn cups my face and says "No more talk about not wanting to be here. We need you here." he tells me and I nod.
Walking out to the main room, I walk over to Venus and she holds me close. Happy and Quinn walk over and Happy says "We'll be back. Stay close to Venus." I nod and they kiss my cheek before heading into chapel. Inside the chapel, the guys are sitting around. "When we get to Willow's house, we'll park the van in the garage and wait inside for him. We don't do anything to him until we get him to the cabin." Chibs says and they all nod. "Anything else?" Chibs asks. "Yeah." Quinn says and all eyes are on him. "When we take him to the cabin, Willow wants to be there. She needs to be." Quinn says. "She needs to make him feel what he made her feel and it needs to be her to do it. She needs to take her power back. Or that's what Venus said." Happy says. "I agree. She needs this guys. If not, she may never get past this shit." Tig says. "All in favor of Willow taking this one?" Chibs asks and aye's all around the table. "One more thing." Happy says. They all look at him and Quinn says "Happy and me...we both want to claim her. Give her both of our crows. She said if we could get the club's okay then she would talk to us." Chibs looks at him and says "We've never had two members claim the same girl. You sure about this brothers?" Chibs asks and they both nod. "All in favor of both these fuckers claiming the same Old Lady?" Chibs asks. Again aye's all around the table. "Go talk to your Old Lady brothers." Chibs says before banging the gavel.
The guys walk out of the chapel and walk up to Willow. Tig kisses her cheek and says "Love you kid." I look at him and say "Love you Tigger." Happy looks at me and says "Can we talk?" I nod and follow him and Quinn to my dorm. I walk into the dorm and Quinn closes the door behind us. I sit in the desk chair and Happy sits on the bed and Quinn leans against the wall. "We took it to the club about you being the one to take him out. We voted and it passed. This one is yours little girl." Happy says. "Thank you guys." I say. "We also took it to the club for both of us to claim you." Quinn says. "What did they say?" I ask. "Voted. It passed. We have the club's okay." Happy says. I look from Happy to Quinn and ask "Are you sure this is what you want? I mean...I don't know if I can…" I start and Happy stops me. "We take shit at your pace little girl." Happy says. "We just want you to be comfortable." Quinn says. "Last night when I was sleeping between you two was the first time I've slept all night in a while. Thank you guys." I tell them. I stand up and Quinn walks over to me. Kissing me deeply he says "Anything you need." I nod. Happy pulls me to him and kisses me deeply before telling me "We got you." I nod again. "When we take him out, I'll give you our crows." Happy tells me and I nod. Heading out to the main room, Happy grabs his sketchpad and pencils and starts sketching his and Quinn's crows while we wait for time to head to my house to handle Chris.
