Chapter 5
It's been two days since the guys have been watching for Kyle. Currently, Juice and Chibs are watching the house. Jax's phone rings and the entire room goes quiet. "What's up?...Really?...Okay. Just stay on him. Call me if he moves." Jax says before ending the call. He walks over to Gemma and says "When we get out of church, I need you to call and get April out of the house." he tells her. "Okay baby." she says simply. "Church." Jax yells and they all file in. Opie is sitting next to me on the couch. "Gemma, can you get her something to eat?" Opie asks. She nods and heads to the kitchen. "I'm not…" I say before he cuts me off. "You've barely eaten. We are gonna take care of this but you need to take care of yourself. It's not a question." he tells me and I just nod. He kisses the top of my head and heads into the chapel.
Once in the chapel, the guys take their seats. "Chibs called. Kyle is at the house. Before we leave, mom is going to call April and get her and the kids out of the house. We can't do anything inside the house because her and the kids will be back." Jax says. "Right. Me and Bobby took care of getting the warehouse ready so all we have to do is get him in there and take care of him." Tig says. "This kill is mine brothers." Opie speaks up and everyone looks at him. "She's mine." Opie says. "You claiming her as your girl?" Bobby asked shocked. "Yeah. I am. This fucker dies by my hands." Opie says. "Okay. You guys heard him. This one's Ope's." Clay says before Clay bangs the gavel.
Walking out of the chapel, Opie walks over to me as I am finishing the sandwich Gemma made me. "Can we talk?" Opie asks. I nod my head yeah and we walk to my dorm while the rest of the guys are getting ready to go. We walk into his dorm and he closes the door. I sit on the desk chair and he sits on the bed. Pulling the chair closer to him he says, "There's something I need to talk to you about before we leave." he says. I nod my okay. "Are you sure you are okay with what he are going to do? He won't be coming back." Opie tells me. "Yeah. I'm good with it." I tell him but still won't look at him. "We found him. We're taking him out tonight. But there's something else you need to know. I told them that this hit is mine." he tells me. I finally look at him and ask "Why?" He takes my hands and says "I told them you're mine. I laid claim on you as my girl." he tells me. I look at him shocked and ask "What? Why?" He rubs his thumbs over my knuckles and says "I've been into you for a while. Nothing like this will ever happen to you again. I know you might not want to be with me because of what happened but I'll wait until you are ready but when you are, you're mine." he tells me. "I just need some time, Opie." I tell him. "And I'll still be here." he tells me before kissing the top of my head and walking out the door.
After gathering myself for a minute, I walk out to the main room to see them off. Walking over to where Gemma was, she puts her arm around me. The guys come up to me one by one and kiss my cheek before heading to their bikes. Jax gets to me and says "Love you sis." I kiss his back and say "Love you too. Be safe." I tell him. Opie walks over to me and kisses my cheek and says "Remember what I said." I kiss his cheek and say "Be safe Ope." He nods and follows Jax out the door. "What was that all about?" Gemma asks. "He said that he's claimed me as his girl and when I am ready, that I'm his." I tell her and she smirks while Tara's eyes go wide.
The guys pull up in the van to Kyle's house. They see April and the kids leave and see Kyle walk outside to see them off. "Once he's back inside, we go in the back. Jax, you and Opie go in the front. And remember brothers, this one's Ope's." Clay says and they all nod. Getting out of the van, they all head into the house and grab Kyle. He tries to fight but Opie punches him and knocks him out.
Getting to the warehouse, they hang him from a rope hanging from the rafters. Tying him up, Jax smacks his face, waking him up. His mouth is taped shut with duct tape. He sees the club standing there and his eyes go wide. He starts to struggle only to see that his feet and hands are both shackled to where he can't move. Jax gets in his face and says "You just couldn't leave her alone, could you?" he asked. Kyle's muffled response goes uncared for. Jax punches him and his head goes sideways. Bobby walks over to him and says "You thought you could hurt her and we'd let you just walk away? We were waiting on you to make a move." Next Opie walks up and gets in his face. "You will never go near my girl again. She's mine and this is all for her." Opie seethes before taking his gun out and putting three bullets into Kyle's chest. The entire club stands there and watches as he bleeds out and suffocates on his own blood. Once he's dead, Happy and Tig walk over. "We got this if you guys want to head back." They all head to the van and head back to the clubhouse.
Sitting there waiting for the guys to come back, my nerves are getting the best of me. My anxiety is getting worse. I feel a tightness in my chest and can't breathe. Tara is in front of me. "Rosie, look at me. Breathe with me." she repeats until the panic attack passes. I am sitting there drinking water, still trying to calm down when the guys come walking in. Jax and Opie walk over to me and Jax kisses my cheek and moves over to be with Tara. Opie kisses me cheek and whispers in my ear, "It's done." I look up at him and feel the tears start falling. He pulls me to him and picks me up and carries me to my dorm. Sitting down on the bed with me, he has me in his lap. I lay my head on his shoulder and just sit there. He rubs my back until I stop crying. "Tell me what happened." I say. He tilts my head up. "You really wanna know?" he asked. I nod my head yes. "We took him to the warehouse. I told him you were my girl and then put three shots to his chest and stood there while he bled out." Opie tells me. "Thank you Opie." I say. "I got you babe." he says before kissing my lips softly.
We sat there for a little bit like that before heading back to the main room. Clay gets everyone's attention and says "I want everyone in this room to know that we take care of our own. Any of you need anything, Club Reaper has your back." he salutes the beer bottle in his hand towards me and I walk over and hug him. Clay always was my favorite uncle figure. He hugs me back and says "Your boy did good." I nod my head and walk back over to Opie's side.
