Chapter 12

John was confused. “What is it, babe?”

“Does anyone call him Bobby?”

“I don’t know. The family has always called him Robert. Why?”

“Just before I passed out, I remember one of the men asking if it was good enough for Bobby. Then I don’t remember anything more except you telling me that you love me.”

John’s eyes got big. He pulled out his phone and called his Dad. “Dad, do they ever call Robert, Bobby like at work or his friends maybe?”

“I don’t know son. I never heard him being called that before. Susan is here let me ask her.” A few moments, he came back on the line. “Yeah, she said his old redneck buddies call him Bobby. What’s this about, Son?”

“Some men attacked Clayton a few days ago. He was in bad shape when I found him. He had to have surgery on his arm. It was shattered. He is still in the hospital. He remembers hearing one of the men asking if it would be enough for Bobby. Dad if he had this done to Clayton for no reason, I swear I’ll beat him within an inch of his life.”

“You won’t have to son. I’ll get to him first. I have to go. He just walked in the door. He and I are going to go into my office and have a long talk.”

John hung up his phone. He looked at Clayton and got unshed tears in his eyes. “I think I’m to blame for you getting beat up. Susan said that Robert’s redneck buddies all call him Bobby. Dad said he just got there, so he is going to take him into his office and have a long talk with him. Honey, I’m so sorry. I never thought you would be in danger or we would not have gone to the BBQ.”

“Come here, John. Let’s get one thing straight. If Robert is behind it, then it falls on Robert. If not, then it falls on whoever did it and it sure was not you. You have nothing to be sorry for, and if I had not had the chance to meet your mom and dad, then you would have been sorry for that. I love your parents. Going to the BBQ has nothing to do with this. We were there, and you don’t like Robert, but you didn’t get your friends to beat him up.”

“I know baby, but if it weren’t for me, you would not be in this bed all hurt.”

“No, you’re right, I would not be in this bed. If not for you I would have died in that shed. So, thank you for loving me enough to come and find me. Thank you for knowing me well enough that you knew something was wrong that day.”

“I don’t even know what to say to that. I feel responsible, but I’m not going to let it keep me from you. I love you too much for that.”

“You better not leave me. I’ll die of a broken heart and then come back and haunt you.
