Unbreakable Soldier

What just happened?

----------Beau’s point of view----------

I’m watching Layla in the corner with Trisha thinking shits going to pop off any second,,, the boys and I are watching in anticipation but shocked as s**t when we see Layla embracing her. What the actual f**k!! Rex is the first to say it “Well that was anti climactic” He chuckles and starts chatting to the others before turning his attention to Jase.

I’m still staring at Layla and Trisha when she calls Madz and Amy over and I’m confused. What the f**k is going on here? Layla’s face has concern and anger written all over it! If looks could kill… f*****g hell!! My ears prick up when I hear Rex ask Jase.

“So Jase why are you calling Beaus Mrs. LOVE all the time? What is with that? Do you have a death wish or something bro?” Jase Smiles so wide and simply says “Because Rex she is f*****g lovable…. I know she is his and I do notice he flinches every time I say it so meh” he says shrugging his shoulders smirking. I chuckle at them both and sigh. I know deep down he cares for her and I’m not threatened by him so I allow it.

Layla is walking towards us looking almost evil when Jase says “Everything ok love?” She answers him keeping it short and he looks concerned. f**k it I’m concerned she is drinking whiskey straight from the damn bottle, something isn’t right. She isn’t responsive like she normally is and despite my efforts to find out what is wrong she only responds telling me she loves me… this isn’t good she is planning something I can feel it.

The club starts getting busy and she looks at me “You know I love you right?” she asks. My mind is racing. Why does it feel like I’m about to lose her? I can’t shake it… then I hear Trisha yell and I see my baby storming over to her …this isn’t good. I’m frozen at the scene in front of me… it all starts happening so fast… what the f**k did my dad just say to her?? When the hell did he get here??? Rex is talking to me but I can’t hear him! Now he is shouting but I still can’t process what he is saying or what is going on!!!

Loud bangs and Layla yelling but I can’t make out the words… what the f*****g f**k is happening did she say something about Trisha? More bangs and I see people dropping. I can’t move I’m staring at Layla. My Layla. I’m frozen and then she is gone… Rex is shaking me now!

“The f**k Beast f*****g answer me!!” Rex demands. It’s like the fog clears my head finally “WHAT THE f**k JUST HAPPENED?” I ask yelling.

I walk towards the scene it’s a bloody m******e. My father lies dead, shot between the eyes along with three other men from his old crew. I run a hand through my hair pacing. She bet me to it! She cleaned the mess and then some!!!

“She killed your dad Beast are you ok? f*****g hell did you hear what she said? Did you know that he” I cut Damon off not letting him finish “Just shut up Damon…Rex get some of our people to clean this up” I order.

My mind is racing. I can hear my heartbeat pulsing in my ears. I can’t sort out my thoughts as I race upstairs to my office.

Why did Layla leave??? I’m trying to remember what she was yelling about but I can’t… did she leave me? Like for good for good? Why would she leave?? Does she think I’m mad about her killing my dad? f*****g hell! I was planning to do it for her! He was my one last kill Rex said I could have. I was going to do it for what he did to US!!!

I need her. I need her to know I f*****g love her still and I don’t care what went down. I need to find her. I need to clear out the trash from my club…I pace trying to clear my head…when did I get back downstairs? I’m trying to collect my thoughts some more. I see Jase stand from his chair hobbling out the door like he is a man on a mission.

I turn to Rex “Rex what happened?” I ask again.

He looks at me confused “You were here same as me you saw!!” he exclaims

“Just tell me everything you actually heard please” I ask again.

“SO your dad obviously brought Trisha when Layla went ‘missing’ and was forcing her to w***e with the threat of killing her mother! Layla wasn’t having it AT ALL!! Your dad was looking at Layla like he wanted to f*****g eat her it was f*****g gross. Then she started shooting. Your dad was first then his right hand from back in the day and these two who were also part of your old man’s crew. And that was that!” Rex gets it all out then sighs as I just stand there looking gob smacked.

He brought Trisha to replace Layla!! That’s what they were talking about in the corner, that’s why she leapt to Trishas defense! She feels responsible… I didn’t know Trisha didn’t want this life!! Her dad was a junkie from what I remember… I run a frustrated hand through my hair.

“I got to go. I need to find Layla I need to know she is ok Rex”  I blurt it out to Rex. He tells me to go and he will clean out the riff raff.

I thank him before I race out the door. I jump on my bike and arrive at Laylas house in record time. I’m off my bike barging through her front door screaming her name “LAYLA…FUCKING HELL LAYLA”… I continue screaming her name as I enter the lounge room and find Madz, Amy, Trisha and Trisha’s mum? They all look scared!! Are they scared of me??

“Where’s Layla?” I bark at them. They are all crying and looking down. I speak directly to Madz now. “Madz where the f**k is Layla?” I ask

Madz freezes “SH-sh-she she’s  gone Beau!! Please don’t kill us” She pleads

“f*****g what?? Where is she?” I say angrily. Where is my baby I start pacing.

“Please don’t kill us beast!”  Trisha says crying.

She is serious!! Am I that bad? Are they really sitting here thinking I’d do that??

“f*****g hell I’m NOT going to kill any of you….. I didn’t know about my father’s arrangement with you Trisha and had I known…” I trail off from my rant thinking to myself. What would I have done if I had known? I mean before I knew about Layla? Am I a f*****g monster?

They all look relieved and I feel like a piece of s**t. “Where did she go? Where would she go? Someone please f*****g speak” I plead with them.

Amy speaks up “We don’t know ok!! I swear. She gave this house to Trisha and her mum along with 20 grand from her safe, she said goodbye and left!” Now Amy is yelling and crying… they are all crying… except Trisha’s mum she goes to the kitchen to make tea by the looks of it!

I storm back out the front door trying to think… where did you go baby? Please don’t leave me baby you promised. I sigh again jumping on my bike. My hands are shaking and I feel tears welling up in my eyes, threatening to spill.

AL … I’ll go and see AL. I start up my bike and speed to the diner. As I pull up to the diner I see Al is closing up and I’m frantic.

“AL….Al…” I run to him breathless,

“Oh hello there Beau how are you lad? What’s wrong? Is it Layla? Ohh gosh please tell me she is ok??” The concern is written all over his face and I now know just by seeing his reaction that he hasn’t seen her. I drop to my knees and I’m crying. “Sh-she left me again AL….”

“What did your father do this time? I tell you something, I should have killed him myself back then… but we both know I didn’t then nor do I now have it in me to take a mans life!” Al looks sad saying those words. I look up at him from the concrete where I had dropped to my knees… “Y-you knew what he did ?” I ask through sobs to AL.

“Yes son I did and I told Layla she should have talked to you… but you were both so young Beau… what would you have done? Killed your old man? You weren’t a killer THEN Beau!” He explains

“Al I can’t lose her again… please tell me what to do or where to go” I’m begging him. Pleading with him my head in my hands crying heavily now. My phone starts ringing and I fumble thinking its Layla I answer.

*CALL*

“Layla…Layla baby is that you?”

The voice on the other end is Jase “Beau calm down its me Jase”

“Jase? Where is she? Do you know if she is ok?”

Jase simply replies “Go to the top of the creek where the clearing is Beau! But hurry I don’t know how much longer she will be there and please….” *END CALL*

I hang up the phone not letting Jase finish. I jump on my bike and I’m there in under a minute. I get off my bike running now and that’s when I see her.

She is sitting on the bench in the clearing crying and it breaks my heart. Why is she crying? f*****g hell I’m still crying too…I feel a weight lift off my shoulders … I found her…I found my angel.
