Chapter 3
A few days later, we were moving his things into my our house. I had one guest room that was empty so I told him to set his gaming systems and computers up in there. That would be his playroom. You would have thought I handed him the key to LegoLand he was so excited. Once his things were unpacked and we were relaxing, we hear a knock at the door. Looking through the peephole, I see Juice open the door and my dad walks in. "Hey Tig. What's up?" Juice asked. "I need to talk to you and Sara." he says and I can tell something is wrong. "What's wrong Daddy?" I asked. "I just got a call from your grandmother. Sweetheart, your mom died this morning." he tells me. I just sit there in shock. "What happened?" Juice asked as he sits beside me and rubs my back. "She killed herself." he says and my head snaps in his direction. "She what? How?" I asked. "Your grandmother said that she slit her wrists while everyone was gone." he explained. "Your grandmother wants you to call her. She said if you want her to make the arrangements that she will but you are her next of kin so it's your decision." Dad tells me. I didn't have much of a relationship with my mother but she was still my mother. "I'll handle it. Where is she?" I asked. "Skeeter has her." he says. "When you are ready, I'll take you over there." Daddy says. "I'll go too if you want baby." Juice says. "Yeah. I want you both there. I need to call Grammy." I say and I take my phone off the charger on the end table. "Hey Grammy...I'm going to head to Skeeters in a few minutes and get the arrangements done...Yea Daddy is coming and so is my boyfriend...Okay...See you soon...Love you." I say ending the call. "Grammy is meeting us there." I say. "She asked if I was going to be there?" Dad asked and I said "Yes but she didn't sound like that was a bad thing."
An hour later, we pull up at Skeeters and Grammy is waiting for me with my Uncle Jay. I walk up and hug her. "How are you Sweetheart?" she asked. "I am okay for now. You?" I asked. "I'm holding." she says. "Grammy, you remember my dad? And this is my boyfriend Juice." I introduce them. "Yes I remember Tig. How are you?" she greets him with a hug that shocks him. Turning to Juice she says "Well, at least you are a cute one." I laugh and she winks at me. "Tig, can I have a moment?" Grammy asked and Tig walks to the side but we can still hear. "I know we didn't have a good history but you were good to my daughter and you have been good to my granddaughter. She's going to need you and that boyfriend these next few days because there are some things that are going to come about that she doesn't know about." she said. "We'll be there." He assured her. "I just wanted to give you a heads up." she said before heading to me. "Let's get this over with." she says and we walk in so that we can meet with Skeeter.
After the meeting with Skeeter, he told Tig he would give us the club discount because of me and it was appreciated. Grammy and Uncle Jay follow me to the house and we are all sitting around talking. "There are some things that you need to know about your mom Sweetheart." Grammy started. "There are things that even your dad doesn't know but you need to know. Your mom fought her demons for a long time. After you left her and move to your dad's she started in on harder drugs. She sold herself for some of them. But there were some things that came to light that I feel you need to know. I was going through some things and found these papers." she says handing them to me. Looking at one of the papers it looked like a contract. "This is a contract." I say. Reading over it, my eyes go wide. "Grammy? Is this why you pushed me to move in with my dad?" I asked, shocked and she just simply nodded. "What is it?" Dad asked. "According to this contract, when I was six, she sold me to some guy." I said. "What?" Dad asked and took the contract from me. "Why?" I asked. "The man bought and sold kids. He was a pedofile. But before he could collect you, I took you to your Dad where I knew that you would be safe. I may not have agreed with her being with your Dad or his lifestyle but I knew he loved you and would protect you at all costs." she explained. "There's one more thing." Uncle Jay finally spoke. "What's that?" I asked. "He contacted your Grammy. He still wants to collect. Said he could breed you, was how he worded it." he said. Hearing this, I start going into a panic attack. Seeing me having trouble breathing, Juice is in front of me in a heartbeat. "Baby, breathe with me. In. Out. In. Out. That's it. Just like that. Slow, deep breaths." he says and I start to calm down.
I get up and walk into my bedroom. I hear Uncle Jay ask Juice "Has she had an attack before?" Juice answered, "No but I get them from time to time so I know how to stop them." Jay responds "Good. Keep her safe." I hear footsteps and I see Grammy, Juice and my dad standing at the door. "You will be safe Sweetheart. I know your dad will keep you safe and judging by how your boyfriend just handled your panic attack, he will keep you safe too. I gave your Dad his information so that you can protect yourself." she says as she walks to me. "Me and Uncle Jay are going to go. I love you. I will see you for the service tomorrow." she says and walks out the door. I sit down on the bed and Juice sits beside me and puts his arm around me. Dad kneels down in front of me and says "You need to pack a bag and we will head to the clubhouse. I texted Jax and told him we needed to call church. We won't let anything happen to you and you need to stay at the clubhouse until this is done. You won't go anywhere without one of the guys with you." I nod my head and start to pack a bag while my dad and Juice walk out of the room. "We won't let anything happen to her." I hear my dad say. "Tig, I'll kill anyone who tries to hurt my Old Lady." Juice said and I couldn't help but smile. "Old Lady?" I asked. "Yeah baby. Old Lady." he says as he kisses my temple and takes my bag from me before heading out the door at to the clubhouse.
