It’s the night before the funeral and it seems eerily quiet. The clubhouse, though full to capacity with some even opting to pitch tents and camp right outside of it, wasn’t at all rowdy or noisy. No one was belligerent drunk though there was drinking. There were at least ten barbeque grills always grilling and cooking since before sundown.

The past few days leading up to tonight had been a whirlwind of pain, tears and then numbness. Sometimes all within an hour. Both Maddox and Tucker had kept their eyes on her. She felt guilty though. Guilty that it took Austin’s death to bring her and Tucker closer. It shouldn’t have been that way.

But even with the two of them tending to her, she felt like there was something they were both keeping from her. Every time she’d asked Dakota if there was any news about who might have done this, he would tell her not to worry about it. That she needed to get her mind straight for the funeral. She had a feeling it was club involved. She knew...Reapers. And it only made her feel more guilty.

Tomorrow will be the first time Maddox was going to let her see Austin...this way. Not breathing. Not talking shit or teasing her. Not teaching her something new about bike maintenance. Not smiling his warm smile. It would be the last time she was going to get to see him at all. There weren’t going to be anymore western movie nights. No more of him cooking up his famous chili. No more of her and him looking up recipes together for Sunday dinner.

“Maddox,” she calls out randomly.

She was sitting on the couch in the clubhouse next to Tucker. Dakota on her other side with his hand resting on her leg. Maddox was in a chair across the coffee table nursing his bourbon. Atticus was in another.

“Yeah,” Maddox answers, giving her his attention.

“It was me,” she says. “Austin wasn’t the one that snuck me out of the motel that night when you took us to Disney. I went to the bar alone and Austin heard me leaving.”

Maddox cracks a grin. “You think I didn’t know that?”

“What? How?” she asks. All these years, he’d known?

“I was the one that told Austin to go after you. I wanted some big boy time with the red headed desk clerk,” Maddox tells her with a huge grin.

“Oh you fucking ass!” she says, laughing. “Then why did you get so pissed off at us?”

“Because y'all weren’t supposed to get drunk AND start a damn bar fight and Austin wasn’t supposed to get arrested,” he answers.

“Yeah...well, there is that,” she admits with a laugh.

She looks around the clubhouse and every wall, every piece of furniture, every song on the jukebox had a piece of Austin. It held a piece of all three of them. The first few days had been rough, being surrounded by all the memories. But now, it was comforting. Like a security blanket that he was still here.
