I go to speak, to ask what I can do, but I hear her voice, and my veins fill with ice.
"Doc, baby, you're finally home, and you didn't come to see me?"she whines, and I look her way. She is wearing a mini black skirt and a crop top that can be classed as a bra, her stripper heels clicking against the hardwood floor.
She's wearing his cut.
Damn…. And there’s that pain shooting through my chest.
She goes to run her hand over his broad shoulders, but before she can make contact, he grips it, and then stands. Tech and Smokey are standing behind him, smirking.
I furrow my brows, wondering what's happening as she cries, "Baby, that hurts."
He looks at her coldly before wrapping his other hand around her throat, squeezing it, causing her eyes to widen as Sarah ushers the kids into the kitchen.
Into the quiet clubhouse, he rasps, "Guess what, Starlight,"she flinches at him using her stage name, "not only did we find out the truth where the so-called baby was concerned, but guess what I found…."He leans forward as she sobs. "The flash drive."
She freezes, and my body sags in relief, realizing it’s finally over, we can finally move forward.
He growls lowly,"You have twenty-four hours to get out of town; fucking run, because if I catch you,"he sneers at her as she gasps for air, "then I'll fucking kill you."
With that said, he grabs his knife from his belt and slices through the leather cut, making her scream in terror as it falls to the floor. He shoves her hard, causing her to fall on the floor, crying out. She looks around the room, her eyes pleading for help, but no one moves. Everyone glares at her before she scrambles to get up and runs out of the club, tripping several times in the process.
I look back at Lucas and see him breathing hard, glaring at the door as Smokey holds his arm, whispering in his ear. He shakes his head, pulls out of Snake’s hold, and walks to the backdoor. I realize then that we can’t move forward yet.
I can't cope with the silence anymore, and I can't let him give up.
I get up and run after him. I hear a chairs scrape, and I know Alex is following. I notice Crow and Aunt Shelly both following as well as I rush out the door and look around the back yard to see him near the gate, about to go through it.
"So that's it, huh? A year of letters expressing your pain, and you're now giving up on me?"I shout, causing him to stop, his hand gripping the gate, and I state loudly,"Four days, and you've said nothing to me, Lucas. You hurt me, you made me think I was the other woman, and now, after having to deal with her and her blackmailing, you're giving up after I finally had the courage to tell you everything?"
He shakes his head and turns to me, growling, "I'm not fucking giving up Kennedy; I'm trying to get through the pain without taking my anger out on you!"
I nod, biting my bottom lip, before holding my arms out and saying, " Take your anger out on me, Lucas." He shakes his head as I drop my arms, but I continue; I goad him into letting it out, knowing it's going to hurt, but it's needed.
Yes, he hurt me, but I didn't let him say goodbye, and until he finally lets it all out, he’ll be lost to us. Not just me, his dad, Aunt Shelly, and Alex, but also the brothers.
"I ran from you. I didn't give you a chance to explain. I had found out I was pregnant but refused to tell you, using her as the excuse when I knew I couldn't handle the pain of rejection again. I gave birth to our daughter, I cremated her, I tried to kill myself, and then, when you opened your heart up when you told me the truth and gave me all those letters full of your pain, I locked you out again."
He shakes his head, hurt, anger, and sheer agony showing through those green eyes of his.
"Stop,Kennedy."
But I don't. I continue, trying not to flinch at him calling me my full name. "I pushed you away, I kept you from saying goodbye, from mourning our daughter. I spoke to others instead of you, I leaned on others instead of you."
"Stop it, Pixie!"he shouts.
I shake my head. "I started seeing someone else to get over you, I let him hold my hand and kiss me…."
And that does it as his face reddens before his foot connects with the bench near him. His foot tears through it and I cry as he finally lets loose. He grabs the bat near the wall and starts to hit the bench over and over; pieces of wood flying everywhere.
I hear sobs behind me. Lola's. "Dad, Breaker, do something please."But the men don't stop him, knowing he needs to release this anger somehow.
"Fuck…."I hear Sniper rasp, but he doesn't get in the way, either. They allow Lucas to get his anger out.
He throws the bat, points at me, breathing heavily, and snaps,"How could you? How fucking could you, Kennedy! She was my daughter, too. It didn't matter if what Prue and I had was real or not; you had no right to keep that moment from me. No fucking right!"
He shakes his head before gripping his head, then kneels, screaming in pain. Aunt Shelly and Lola sob behind me as I fist my hands at my sides, hating this pain he has to go through in order to move forward, hating that I was the cause of this.
"Why, w-why, Pixie?"he sobs, and I run over to him as he continues, "I fucking love you so-so much…. Why did you do this? Why did you have to punish me this way?"
