The next day, Talia woke up in Chibs' dorm, but she didn't immediately get out of bed. She was thinking about yesterday's events and what was going to happen now that Hayleigh knew. She sighed and put her hands over her eyes, but heard someone knocking at the door.

"Talia, you up?" Juice called from the other side and she sat up in bed. She was wearing a Reaper Crew shirt and shorts, so she didn't have to change her clothes.

"Yeah, come in."

"How're you feeling?" He asked, sitting on the bed next to her.

"I've been better."

"I don't wanna throw this at you first thing in the morning, but there's a stubborn girl in the bar and she refuses to go anywhere until she talks to you."

With that news in the air, Talia threw the blanket off her and went out into the bar with Juice following her. Gemma was sitting at a table having a cigarette with Clay while Hayleigh was pacing back and forth, but she stopped when she saw Talia.

"What are you doing here?"

"You are not going to avoid me like this, Talia. You saved my life yesterday, mine and a bunch of other girls. I don't even wanna think about what could've happened if you didn't show up."

"...why are you here?"

"Because I love you, damn it." Hayleigh stressed, making Talia look her in the eyes. After two weeks of not seeing them, all Talia wanted to do was get lost in those green jewels over and over again. "I saw the last part of you yesterday, Talia. I've seen you at your very best and your lowest low and yesterday, I saw the worst side of you that you tried to hide from me."

"So, why aren't you running away?"

"Because I accept it. I had my suspicions because your entire family is a motorcycle club and there's rumors about what the Sons get into. I guess I was...expecting something like this to turn up."

"You...accept it?" Talia repeated, unbelieving of the words. "I was covered in blood yesterday because I killed a man...and you saw me and...you can accept that?"

"I accept you, lovebug. That includes the good, bad, beautiful and ugly parts." Hayleigh smiled and Talia was quick to pull the girl in for a tight hug, kissing her cheek. When she pulled back, Hayleigh noticed the tears filling Talia's eyes and she put her hand on Talia's cheek. Talia could feel her engagement ring resting on her finger and it made her heart flutter to know that she never took it off. "I love you, Talia."

"I love you too, Halo. So damn much."
