Chapter 11
Later that night, we are in his dorm, lying in bed and I'm just staring off into space. "Talk to me." he says softly. I sit up and say "What if Stahl comes after you? Happy, what if she tries to take you down for this?" I ask. He sits up next to me and says "She won't. Lowen is coming in the morning to talk to us. I want you to tell her about Stahl harassing you and threatening you. Jax thinks it will be a good idea to file a complaint against her. But you will have to answer some questions." He tells me. "What kind of questions?" I ask. "About how we ended up together. They are going to want to know why we got married so quick." he tells me. "We could tell them that when I was living with Mark that he was cheating on me, because he was, and that I had started seeing you behind his back. Could say we met when I was out at a bar because I was upset and we hooked up and just kept seeing each other behind his back and fell for each other." I say. "That might work." he tells me. Pulling me close he says "What about that gash?" I shake my head and say "Nothing for now. Let her make another move and I'll take care of it. Send the message to all of them at the same time." I say. "Okay." He says. I go to get out of bed and head to the kitchen. Getting a bottled water out of the fridge, I head out to the picnic tables and Happy follows and takes a seat next to me. "Are you okay?" he asks. "Yeah. Just trying to work through all this shit." I say. "We'll get through this but if something happens and I do go down…" he says and I cut him off. "I'm not going anywhere." I say. Kissing my temple, he pulls me close. A few minutes later the gash from before comes over. "Wanna have some fun Happy?" she asks and there are people all over the place still. "I told you we're done." he tells her. "Why because you're Old Lady's here? Doesn't matter baby. She won't do anything. You've fucked me before when she was here." she says and smirks at me. I get off the picnic table and grab her hair and slam her head into the picnic table. She falls to the ground and I start bashing her head into the concrete. Happy pulls me off of her and I spit on her. Jax bends down and feels for a pulse. "She's alive." he says. One of the other croweaters comes over and tells Happy, "I got her, go ahead." He nods his thanks and goes to help Jax. She pulls me inside and I look at her and ask "Is she dead?" She shakes her head and says "No but no one liked her anyway. We all warned her." she tells me. "Why are you helping me?" I ask. "Because you're nice to me." she says simply.
A few minutes later, Happy comes in and pulls me to him "You okay?" he asks. I just nod. Picking me up, he heads to the dorm and sits on the bed with me on his lap. "I'm sorry." I say as I try to stand but he doesn't let me. "Why?" he asks. "I shouldn't have done that. Shit. I almost killed her." I say as I start to pace and he gets in front of me to stop me. "You handled your shit. You defended your place as my Old Lady." he tells me and I look at him. "I don't want anyone mad at me." I say. "Baby, why would anyone be mad?" he asks. "Fuck." I say as I walk away from him and to the bathroom but he stops me. "Talk to me." he says. "I'm still so used to everything I do pissing someone off and me getting shit for it. I just need a minute. I can't get my head right." I start and start going into a panic attack. He's right in front of me cupping my face telling me "Breathe baby. In with me. Out with me." until my breathing evens out. Kissing me softly he tells me. "I'm proud of you baby. Don't ever think we'll be mad about you defending your place. Okay?" he says. "Yeah. Okay." I say but won't look him in the eyes. "Hey." he says and I look up at him. "I love you." he says. "Show me." I say and he picks me up and places me on the bed to make love to me all night long.
