Summer's scream woke her up. She shot straight up in bed and she was drenched in a cold sweat. She quickly looked around the room and saw Chibs by her side and she could feel herself calm down almost instantly. He wrapped his arms around her and she held on to him as the tears streamed down her face and her heart continued to pound in her chest.
"Shhh...baby girl everything is ok," Chibs whispered into her hair, "I've got you. I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Summer took deep breaths to try and keep calm. "Every time I try to sleep the horrible events replay over and over in my head Chibs," Summer cried breathlessly, "It looks so real and it feels so real and it's like I can't wake up until the worst part is over. I'm being forced to relive this horrid nightmare over and over." "I'm so sorry this is happening love," Chibs replied, sitting on the side of the bed with her in his arms and rubbing her back soothingly, "Maybe Tara can give you something to help you sleep. Do you want me to go ask her?" "No," Summer replied, shaking her head in response, "Please don't leave me." "Ok, I'm not going anywhere," he replied.
Summer reached down and pushed the call button beside her bed and then wrapped her arms tight around Chibs' waist and laid her head against his chest. "Thank you for being here..." Summer said quietly. "Where else would I be love?" he asked her, looking into her eyes. "We just... it didn't end well..." she replied, "I don't know." "Summer, you mean everything to me," Chibs replied, "And as soon as all this shit happened, I realized that I couldn't live my life without you. So being by your side is where I belong. I love you and I will wait for you." "No more waiting," she whispered, "I love you too. You are what I want Chibs."
Chibs pulled away and looked at her for a moment before he reached for her hands and gently pulled her in towards him. She kept her eyes open and watched as he got closer and her heart began to pound in her chest and her palms got sweaty. She knew exactly why she was about to have an anxiety attack and she hoped that they found Tyson and gave him what he deserved. Summer put her hands on his shoulders to hold him back a bit as she took deep breaths to try and calm herself down. The tears instantly sprang to her eyes as she looked up at him. Chibs momentarily had a confused look on his face, but after one look at her face, he picked up on the fact that this had nothing to do with past feelings for Opie, but everything to do with what Buddy and Tyson had done to her.
She tried to breath deep, but she began to hyperventilate and the sobs overtook her. Her heart was racing, she could no longer see straight and the room began to spin. She had never felt anything like this before and she was beginning to panic. "Baby girl, what's wrong?" Chibs asked with concern in his voice, "What's happening?" Summer tried to speak but the words wouldn't come out. She squeezed his arm as she felt her chest constrict and she began gasping for breath.
Chibs ran to the door and yelled down the hall for help. Within minutes Tara and Jax had run into the room and Tara was by Summer's side within seconds. "I think she's having an anxiety attack," Chibs said, the worry very evident, "What do we do Tara?" "I've got her Chibs," Tara replied, giving him a soft smile, "That's exactly what she is having, but she is going to be just fine."
Tara pulled a syringe out of her coat pocket and injected it into Summer's IV line. She threw the empty syringe in the needle container and then pulled Summer into her arms and ran her hand through her hair. "Shhh Summer," Tara whispered, "Just calm down. Everything is going to be ok. You're safe Sum, no one is going to hurt you again." Summer slowly began to come back to her senses, but the tears fell freely down her face and she was unable to make them stop. Summer moved her hand up and held onto Tara's upper arm as she slowly rocked back and forth. Whatever Tara had put into her IV line, it worked, and it worked fast. They sat there on the bed in silence rocking back and forth, while Jax and Chibs sat in their chairs and waited patiently.
Several moments passed before Summer took a deep breath and pulled away from Tara. "What did you give me?" Summer asked quietly, looking up at her. "It was an anti-anxiety medicine, which we will send home with you when you leave the hospital," Tara replied, "We will give you a high dose in pill form, which should take care of most anxiety flare ups. Be prepared for these to happen often in the beginning." "Just take things slow," Jax said in response to what Tara said, "One day at a time and we will make sure you are protected." Summer looked at her brother with fear in her eyes. "You know he won't stop until he finds you and kills you," Summer said quietly, "…or me." "Neither is going to happen love," Chibs replied as he sat down beside her again and reached for her hand, "We won't let it." Summer turned and looked at Chibs who flashed her a soft and reassuring smile, but she didn't feel so sure about it. She knew what Tyson was capable of and the amount of power he had terrified her.
"Hey," Chibs said quietly, cupping her face in his hands and looking directly into her eyes, "Nothing is going to happen to you or to anyone in the club. We are going to come up with a plan." Summer nodded her head in response and then slowly wrapped her arms around Chibs waist and hugged him close to her. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her gently on the top of the head. "I love you," she whispered. "I love you too baby," Chibs replied with a small smile on his face.
Summer buried her face in his shirt and held on tightly. Chibs looked up at Jax and Tara who were both smiling at the sweet moment. "I've gotta go," Jax said quietly, "Clay and I are headed to the prison this afternoon to see Otto." Summer lifted her head at this. "I usually go with you," Summer said quietly. In this moment, Summer had really wanted to see her dad. He never been a huge part of her life for being in prison and all, but like any other girl, she wanted her daddy during this difficult moment. "I know Sum," Jax replied as he leaned over the bed to give her shoulder a gentle squeeze, "But you may not want to be there for this visit." It was true, Summer thought as she nodded her head, her father would more than likely fly off the rails when Clay and Jax dropped the news on him. "Let me know how it goes?" Summer asked Jax. "You know it," Jax replied, "I love you." Jax kissed her on the forehead and kissed Tara quickly before he left the room.
Summer curled up in a ball in her bed and laid with her back facing the door and Tara and she looked at Chibs. "Please tell me everything is going to be ok..." Summer whispered quietly to him as the tears began to fall again. Tara walked around the bed and stood beside Chibs as he leaned in and wiped the tears from Summer's eyes. "Everything is going to be fine love," Chibs replied, "We are going to figure this out." Summer grabbed his hand when he moved and didn't let him go.
"How did you sleep last night?" Tara asked Summer. Summer shook her head and then pointed at the dark circles under her eyes. "I'm afraid to close my eyes," Summer replied, "And when I do, I have horrendous nightmares that I can't seem to wake up from." "I can give you a sedative," Tara offered, "It will help you to sleep with no disruptions. It's a fairly high dose, which should do the trick." "I would love a good sleep Tara," Summer mumbled, "It would be nice to not see Buddy's face or Tyson's face while I sleep." "Ok," Tara replied, "I'll go get it and you can have a nice long afternoon nap." Summer and Chibs both smiled at Tara before she left the room.
"We can't seem to catch a break," Summer said quietly to Chibs with a small smile on her face, "Every time we go to kiss or take our relationship to the next level, something happens to interrupt us. This time it was an anxiety attack!" "I'm in no rush Sum," Chibs replied as he ran a hand through her hair, "I want to do all those things. Kiss you, hold you, make love to you, but I don't want to push you, I don't want to scare you, I don't want to overstep the boundaries. Not after what just happened to you." "I appreciate that Chibs," she whispered, "I guess it will just happen with time. I'll let you know." "That sounds like a great plan," Chibs replied, "Just let me know what you want when you're ready. I want you to be comfortable." She smiled at him and then she patted the bed beside her. She moved over and he got on the bed beside her and gently pulled her into his arms. She snuggled up beside him with her head on his chest and closed her eyes. Being in Chibs's arms was the safest she had felt in a couple days and she never wanted to let him go.
Tara came in and Summer lifted her head to smile at her. "Cozy?" Tara giggled as she held up the sedative, "Do you still want this?" "Yes and yes," Summer replied. Tara injected it into her IV line and then patted Summer's head gently. "Have a good sleep baby girl," Tara said, "You going to keep watch?" "You bet," Chibs replied, "Unless the club calls, I've got nowhere to be." "You're a good man," Tara replied with a smile. "I try," Chibs stated.
Summer silently took in their conversation as her vision clouded over and their voices got quieter as the seconds went on. She tried to fight it, to stay awake a bit longer, but she could no longer fight off the effects of the sedative. She was looking forward to having a good and uninterrupted sleep.
Jax and Clay walked inside the prison and walked up to the check-in station. "Clay Morrow and Jax Teller here to see Otto Delaney," Clay grumbled to the Officer at the front desk. The Officer looked him up and down and then grabbed his keys from the desk and stood up. "Mr. Morrow," he said with a nod, "Otto is expecting you." He opened the door and Clay placed his gun on the counter and Jax placed his gun and his knife on the counter as well. They followed the Officer down a long narrow hallway where he buzzed them into the visiting area. They walked in and the metal slammed shut behind them.
Clay looked around the room and then nodded at Jax when he saw Otto. They walked up to him and gave quick manly hugs before they sat down. "So what's the reason for the visit?" Otto asked, looking back and forth between Clay and Jax, "And why isn't Summer with you?" They usually came to visit Otto every three months and they would usually bring Summer with them, but this visit came just a month after the last visit. "Don't get me wrong," Otto stated with a small smile, "I love the visits, but when one happens this soon after the last one, I believe I have reason to be concerned." Jax fidgeted with his hands and looked down at his lap. He did not to be the one that came to this visit with Clay, but Clay had requested that it be him.
"We have a bit of an issue Otto," Clay said seriously, "We wouldn't be here if we didn't have to be." "What's going on?" Otto asked impatiently. "Our little princess got involved with someone a while ago," Clay began, "Someone by the name of Tyson Jacobs." In an instant Otto's face went red and he clenched his fists as the rage began to boil inside him. "I take it you have heard of this guy?" Jax asked, leaning in towards him, his elbows on the table, "What do you know?" Otto sat back in his chair, put his hands in his lap and took a deep breath before answering. "What happened?" he growled through his teeth. "Tell us what you know," Jax snapped, "And then we'll talk."
Otto sat quietly in his seat for a moment slightly taken aback, but then quickly regained his composure. "Tyson Jacobs has a lot of enemies within these walls," Otto stated, "A lot of people have been screwed out of a lot of money because of Tyson. An ex supplier of Tyson's, Lee Nelson, is in here for murder, but would love to get Tyson's head on a stick. Screwed Nelson out of almost a million dollars. Lee knows people on the outside that would be able to locate him in a second." Clay and Jax both perked up when Otto offered over that information. "Who did Nelson murder?" Jax asked curiously. "Tyson's wife," Otto replied, "The only woman who could handle him and the sick fucked up person he is. He was horrible to her, but she was the only one that stuck around. They were married five years apparently before Lee went crazy and killed her to get revenge. He has been in here for 4 years already."
Jax looked over at Clay with an eyebrow slightly raised and then ran his hand nervously through his long blond hair. "Jesus Christ," Clay mumbled, "This is a bigger fucking problem than we thought." "Now tell me what the fuck is going on," Otto demanded, glaring at Jax, "What happened with Summer?" "Relax," Jax said, putting up his hands to calm Otto down a bit, "I guess a couple years ago Summer and Tyson started dating. Apparently the relationship lasted a year before she left him. We don't have anymore details than that." "Summer was kidnapped yesterday morning Otto," Clay said, continuing where Jax left off, "Tyson and his right hand man, Buddy, caused Summer to drive off the road and then they took her to Buddy's dorm at Stanford, which was where Jax, Chibs, Happy and Opie eventually found her last night. Buddy raped her all day long and then it ended with her brutally stabbed in the stomach twice." Otto just sat there in stunned silence, unable to respond to the news. "Otto, we found her almost dead on the floor," Jax said quietly, "Happy beat Buddy within an inch of his life and then Opie finished him off. Summer is in the hospital and she is being well taken care of." Otto nodded his head in response, but still had no ability to reply.
"Otto, this is where we need your help," Clay said quietly, reaching across the table and putting his hand on Otto's arm to get his attention, "We need protection for Jax, Chibs, Opie and Happy. Because Tyson certainly won't let this go and he won't stop until someone in our club is dead. Do you think you could talk to some people inside and get us a name of someone who could direct us to Tyson. We need to get to him before he gets to us." "I'll get you what you need," Otto mumbled, his hands clenched and white at the knuckles, "I want that son of a bitch dead." "So do we Otto," Jax replied, "She is a mess, but she told us to tell you hi and that she loves you." Otto put his head in his hands for what seemed like hours before he lifted it again and looked at Jax and Clay with tears in his eyes. "I love her more than I can put into words," Otto replied quietly, "This was never the life I had hoped for her and I wish I could be on the outside to be there for her. Tell her I love her very much." "We will let her know," Clay replied as he stood up and patted Otto on the shoulder, "We have to get going, but let us know what you find out."
Otto stood up, hugged Jax and Clay quickly and gave them a sad smile. "You'll be hearing from me soon," Otto said as he put his hands in his pockets, "You can be sure about that. No one hurts my family and gets away with it." Clay nodded his head in response and Jax sneered, thinking about what he would do to Tyson if he ever got his hands on him. Jax gave Otto one last look before they were let out of the visit room.
