Chapter 13.
Once Eric and Pam left, Corbett made his way to the stables. He knew Sookie would come here before any where else. This was her safe place. He knew this. And there she stood. She was crying. He knew she had to deal with this. But he was a little out of his depth here.
" Baby girl." Corbett said.
Sookie just turned away from him. She didn't want to see his face. She knew Eric had told him what was going on. And what Alcide had done. And all she felt was shame. She knew she shouldn't feel it. But it was still there.
" Baby, we need to talk. Eric and Pam has left. So it's just you and I. We need to get this out." Corbett spoke softly.
" I know Daddy. But not now. I've ruined everything. Eric don't want me near Pam. And why should he want me? I'm damaged goods. I'll never be the same. God gave up on me a long time ago. He knew I couldn't handle being with a man. Much less someone that could give me a daughter in the process." Sookie sobbed.
" I want you to shut that shit up right now Baby Girl. You deserve everything that life can give you. What Al did is unforgivable. I'll never forgive myself for not seeing this sooner. I should have known it was something like this. The way you recoiled from men since he died." Corbett said.
" No Daddy, it's not your fault. Don't think that it is. I just wanted to forget about it. Pretend it never happened. I wanted to remember the Alcide I fell in love with. Not the monster that was there the last night. He scared me daddy. I have never felt so helpless in my life." Sookie said.
Corbett grabbed a hold of Sookie and rocked her while she cried. He didn't know how to heal this. He needed help.
" Baby Girl, we need to get you some help. I know you don't think you need it. But you do. You need to move past this. And Eric will be there if its meant to be. But you have to do this for you. Please do this." Corbett said.
"K" Sookie said.
" Come let's go to the big house and let your mother and Gran know what is going on. We need to make a plan." Corbett said.
When they walked in the front door, Michelle and Adele were waiting in the foyer. Both was ringing their hands.
" Come you two. Let's go in the living room and I'll explain what's going on." Corbett said.
They all made their way to the living room and sit down. Corbett still had his arms around Sookie.
" This is going to be hard to hear. But please let me finish before you say or do anything." Corbett said.
Both women nodded their agreement. And Corbett started to explain everything to them. They were both weeping by the time Corbett was done.
" Dear God Sookie, why didn't you tell us? We could have gotten you help before now. And that was what was wrong with Eric before he left, wasn't it?" Adele said.
" Yes, he's afraid if she don't deal with it now, it will hurt them in the long run. Which I think is a correct assumption. But he went about it the wrong way. Either way, maybe we can help these kids and get them back together. But I think Sookie needs to worry about herself for now." Corbett spoke.
" I know someone that can help her. She helped me when my parents abused me. And yes Sookie, they did abuse me. I haven't talked about them in a long time. I don't like to. But for you baby girl I will. I know a counselor that specializes in abused woman. Let me go call her now. Please excuse me." Michelle said.
With that, Michelle got up and left the room. Sookie didn't know what to think. Her mother never said anything. She thought her mother strong before, but now she knew she was a survivor.
" Daddy, why has she not ever said anything?" Sookie asked.
" It's to painful baby girl. She won't talk about it either. Not till she's ready. So don't push this. Ok?" Corbett said.
" I would never daddy. I don't want to hurt her." Sookie answered.
" Baby , what are you going to do about Eric and Pam?" Adele asked.
" I don't know. I need to talk to him. I'll call him shortly." Sokie answered.
Michelle come back into the living room,
" I talked to Dr. Ludwig. She will be here in the morning. So be up and ready by 10 baby. Now, I'm going to my room to sit and think about what I just learned. If you need me, Just come and get me baby." Michelle said.
She went and hugged Sookie. And went up the stairs. Sokoie excused herself. She wanted to call Eric.
She went to the porch and dialed his number.
" Hello." Eric said.
" Um.. Hey. Umm. This is Sookie." Sookie said.
" Yeah, I knew who you were Sookie. I have your number programmed in my phone." Eric replied.
" Yeah, Eric, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." Sookie pleaded.
" Sookie, there is nothing to forgive really. I just wanted to make sure you was in a place to accept how serious we are. I didn't want to get slapped in the face that I had nothing to do with. And I want you to know, I had to see someone after Nora. Sookie she really messed with my head. And I'm not ashamed to say that. But you have to do this. Not only for us but for Pam." Eric said.
" I know Eric. There is a doctor coming by tomorrow. I know we need to slow down. But Eric I cant help the way I feel for you. I cant just turn it off and on. But I will let you go for now. I know you don't need my shit on top of everything else. Maybe someday. I love you Eric Northman." Sookie said crying.
She hung up on him. She couldn't wait to hear his words tear her heart open. Never, Never again would she try this. She couldn't. She was tired of the pain.
Eric was shocked about what Sookie had said. She was dumping him. He never meant for all this to happen .He just wanted her to get help. Now he would no longer have Sookie. Oh Lord, what about Pam?
The next few days passed in a blur for Eric. He didn't even want to get up out of bed. But he did. He had Pam to keep him grounded. So that was his main focus, Pam. Four days after he talked to Sookie Adele called.
" Hello." Eric said.
" Hey Boy, How are doing?" Adele said.
" I'm fine , Mrs. Brigant. How are you?" Eric asked.
" Oh horse shit Eric. Don't start with that Mrs. Brigant stuff. You know I'm calling to check on you. And to tell you Matthew will be taking on Pam's riding lessons. And you can bring her tomorrow evening at 3:00." Adele said.
" I don't know Adele. The way Sookie spoke the last time we talked, she didn't want anything else to do with me. I think she needs to work on herself before she involves me and Pam in the situation." Eric said.
" Eric, get your head out of your ass son. She loves you and Pam already. But you know that. Right now, she is running scared. She's afraid to let you and Pam down. Just bring Pam over tomorrow. Expect supper also. Eric I know I am being bossy. But I know love when I see it. And you two have been through enough for one lifetime. Don't give up yet." Adele said. Pleading with Eric.
" Ok. I'll bring her over. I'll see you tomorrow Adele." Eric said.
" Alright. Have a good night Son." Adele said and hung up.
Eric was worried about what was going to happen when he saw Sookie. And he was also worried about Pam reaction. But he would get through it. He was miserable without her. Sleep did not come easy that night.
The next evening him and Pam pulled up to the ranch. And Corbett and Matthew met them. Pam was excited to be back. Eric was scared shitless.
" Come on little Princess. Matt is going to take you down to your lesson. Don't give him a rough time. Unless you want." Corbett said.
Pam walked with Matt to the stables. And Eric just stood there. He didn't really know what to do.
" Hey Eric. How are you doing?" Corbett asked.
" I'm doing Corbett. How is everyone?" Eric asked.
" I think we are making it the best we can." Corbett said.
" Come, Let's go down the hill while Matt is with Pam. Sookie is trying to teach some actor how to ride a horse for his upcoming film. They are wanting us to collaborate on the film. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the idea. But Sookie went ga-ga over this actor. I really don't know how I feel about that either." Corbett said.
Eric didn't know how he felt about it either. Was Sookie moving on already? Oh, here comes the green eyed monster. Maybe that was Corbett's plan to start with.
They made their way down and Eric seen who it was. It was Alexander Skarsgard. People had told him, He looked like him. But he had his doubts. But there he was. And he was looking at Sookie like a lost puppy. Oh, this could be trouble.
"Hey, you two. How's it going?" Corbett said.
" Oh, hey daddy. Hi Eric. We are doing pretty good. Alex is finally getting the hang of it. He still gets his legs tangled up. But he'll get it." Sookie said.
"Hello, Mr. Brigant. I don't know if I'll ever get the hang of it or not. But Sookie is a great teacher." Alex said.
" This is Eric Northman, Alex." Corbett said.
" Pleasure, are you the father of Miss. Pam Northman?" Alex asked.
" Nice to meet you. Yes. My daughters name is Pam. How did you know?" Eric said.
" Sookie. She loves your little girl. And from what I can tell, you to. Your very lucky. I've been after Sookie since I came here. Although she wont go out with me." Alex said.
Sookie was red. She knew what her dad was doing, And she was going to die of embarrassment.
" Yes, I know I'm very lucky. But the last time I talked to Sookie, she broke up with me. So she is free to do as she pleases." Eric said.
Corbett knew Eric was jealous, but he had to do something. Eric was admitting defeat to the enemy here. He should know better.
" Oh in that case, Sookie you are going out with me tonight and I'm not taking no for a answer." Alex said with a smirk.
" please Alex. We agreed. Nothing but business. No hanky panky buddy." Sookie said.
"Oh there will be hanky and panky if I have anything to say about it." Alex said.
Eric was fixing to blow a gasket. What the hell. This Alex had no manners. He was flirting with Sookie right in front of her father. He had enough.
" No Alex. There WILL NOT BE ANY SORT OF HANKY OR PANKY. SOOKIE WILL BE EATING WITH US AND HER FAMILY. AND SHUT THE HELL UP!YOU ARE FLIRTING WITH HER RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER FATHER FOR HEAVENS SAKE." Eric screamed.
Sookie looked shocked. She hadn't herd any of this. But it seemed to be working. Alex backed away gracefully of course. He knew he was making the man jealous. And maybe that's what he needed. Alex took his horse back to the barn. Corbett made the excuse he would help him. Eric was staring at Sookie. Sookie was staring back.
Eric grabbed Sookie. And kissed her with everything that he had. Sookie's toes curled.
" Never, Ever flirt with another man in front of me. Unless you want me to throw you over my shoulders and proceed to show you who you belong to Sookie." Eric said with his eyes still closed.
" k" Sookie said.
She couldn't think of anything else at the time. He had kissed the sense out of her.
" I have turned him down repeatedly. He was just trying to spin you up. And I think it worked." Sookie was finally able to say.
" Yeah, I walked right into that one I know. But Sookie, You have to understand. I have trust issues too." Eric said.
" Yeah, I guess we both are fucked up." Sookie said.
" Yeah, but lets be fucked up together instead of apart. I miss you." Eric said.
" I miss you too, baby." Sookie said.
With that they embraced each other and just held on. They each missed each other so bad.
" Sookie, are we going to be ok?" Eric asked.
Yes we are. I'm seeing someone about my issues. Will you come with me a time or two? Just to make sure we are on the same page. I don't want a misunderstanding again. And I've missed you and Pam something awful." Sookie said.
" We've missed you too dear one. I know we are going to fight. But please lets try and avoid this in the future." Eric said.
" We'll talk next time. Even if it hurts. I presumed to much and so did you. But you have to learn and talk to me too. And not shut me out." Sookie said.
" I promise I'll do better my love," Eric said.
"Now that has been settled, you want to go to the barn and roll around in the hay while Pam is riding?" Sookie asked.
" Of course, you don't even have to ask. Lead the way!" Eric said.
With that, they took off toward the barn. Adele and Michelle was watching from the back porch. They were giggling like two school girls. They couldn't have planned it better there selves.
