Chapter Twenty

Devastation.

Self-doubt.

Loneliness.

Regret.

Shock.

Delusional.

Sadness.

Those were only the top seven symptoms coursing through Raelyn's shaken body. There were at least twenty more she couldn't put a name to, but they made her sick to her stomach.

"Just drop it." Raelyn pulled away from her mom. "I don't want to talk."

Her mother followed her through the bar. "I don't understand why you're upset. It was Carl who got beaten. He's the one we should be concerned about."

"You, think?" Raelyn rounded on her mom. "Why weren't you concerned yesterday or last week or when you failed to make the rent payment and had the insane idea to travel in a beat-up motorhome with Kevin?"

"Keith," whispered her mom.

"Fine. Keith. Whatever." Raelyn picked a chair off the table and set it on the floor. "Something is going on with my brother."

"I know." Her mom grabbed one of the chairs and helped Raelyn prepare the bar for opening. "That's why I asked you to talk with Carl."

"You're his mom." Raelyn planted the chair on the wooden floor harder than necessary.

"But, he's always been closer to you. He confides in you when he doesn't want to come to me."

Raelyn closed her eyes, breathed in deeply, and forced herself to calm down. Her anger wasn't her mom's fault.

"I married Mel," she stated.

Her mom's eyes rounded. "You...? You're married?"

She groaned. "Not legally."

"Well, what kind of married are you?" Her mom stepped closer.

The kind that would ruin her relationship with Mel. The kind that was supposed to mean a lifetime with no divorce. The kind that if broken would put her on the outside of Ronacks Motorcycle Club forever. The kind that she'd dreamed about, had, then lost, and now had a second chance at.

"Mel claimed me in front of his club. In his world, it's the ultimate commitment," she whispered.

"Oh, my." Her mom held her arms out.

Raelyn walked into her mom's embrace. "I told him I can't do it and we were going to go in front of the club and tell them that any claim Mel had on me was over, but then the bar got vandalized, and now Mel has shut down on me."

"What do you mean he shut down?" Her mom smoothed Raelyn's hair off her face. "He's outside with your brother. He's still here."

"I know, but he's not talking. I have no idea what is going on. Peggy's apartment gets broken into twice. Carl gets beat up. Now someone painted 'You're dead' on my building, and I want to know what is going on." She groaned. "I'm sorry. I never planned to unload on you or bite your head off."

"Lord knows, I've fallen apart on you through the years." Her mom sighed. "Sit down. Relax. I'll take the chairs down and put out the napkin holders."

Doing what her mom ordered, she slumped in the chair. Her phone vibrated, and she pulled out the cell.

Allison: Dukie wants to come down and ask you a question. OK?
