to tell her that I’m here, but I guess my brain and my body aren’t ready to function yet. But it’s okay with me, because I know I’m going to be okay after tonight.

I am still alive, and that’s all that matters.

I am alive.

Chapter Sixty-Three

Eli

It takes us exactly thirty minutes to get to Sparky’s bar. My head is pretty messed up right now, and my heart is taken over by anger and hate. My hands are already bloody and starting to swell up, but that doesn’t stop me from going after Jackson. How did I not figure this shit out sooner? How did I not know that Jackson and Jax were the same guy? How many girls has he raped and gotten away with? My blood pressure is fucking shot; I am fresh out of patience. I need to find him. Jackson isn’t a small guy, he’s a few inches taller than me and is a little stocky. But that doesn’t mean shit to me. Big or not, I am still going to fuck him up.

Reese parks the car and I get out before the engine stops. I hear Marino call out to me. “Eli!” But I don’t stop. I have a mission and that mission is to fucking annihilate Jackson. I’m a few steps away from the door when I feel a hand gripping my arm. My hands automatically formed into fists. I’m getting ready to swing, but realize that it’s Luka and Daniel standing at the side of the bar.

“Bro!” Luka says.

“Let me go, I need to get inside,” I growl. I’m desperate to get to Jackson and they all know it. I know my head isn’t on straight and I’m running on sheer fucking hatred but I don’t give a fuck if I end up in prison. I would do it all over again if it meant that she could be safe and he would be fucking dead.

“I’ll handle it,” Luka says.

I stop him with my hand on his chest and say, “No! She’ll need you when she wakes up Luka.”

“She’s going to need you too,” he tells me.

I can’t let what he says affect me. “Luka, I’ve done nothing to make things better for her. You can stand there and tell me that I have, but it won’t stop me from going in there and ripping his goddamn head off. She’s lost a lot. I told her that I was going to fix it, so that’s what I came here to fucking do” I tell him.

Luka is used to saving his family and I understand why he wants to do this himself. But I also want him to know that I’m willing to sacrifice myself to save Sina, because she’s my whole life. People may think that I’m being fucking crazy and that I should let the police deal with it, but I don’t care. I know for a fact if it were someone else in my shoes they would do the same thing for the one that they loved. You just know when you find the right person, and trust me Sina is the missing piece in my life and that’s all I need to know that she’s good enough for me.

“If anyone jumps in we got your back Uso” Daniel says. “But they should know better than fucking involve themselves. You do what you have to do and we’ll make sure to get you out in one piece before the cops get here.”

The music is loud and the place is pretty packed. No one seems to notice us walking in, and that’s probably a good thing. Because if Jackson finds out that we’re here he’ll know why and he’ll probably run like the bitch that he is. We make sure to blend in with everyone else. There are a few people here that we know, then there are girls who try to stop us for a conversation but we’re on a mission tonight and none of us have the time or patience for this shit.

“Hey handsome.” A girl purrs as she steps into my path. I don’t know who she is but she fucking irritates me. “My name’s Jenny,” she says. She places her hands on my chest and it pisses me off because she isn’t Sina.

Before she can say anything else I cut her off and sneer, “I didn’t ask you for your name.” I see her hand fly toward my face just as Megan appears out of nowhere and blocks her hit.

“Put your fucking hands on him, and I swear you’ll regret it.” Jessie, Jenny whatever the fuck her name is laughs, pulling her arm back to swing at me again, but she takes Megans fist to her face before she can even touch me.

“I warned you, you dumb rat.” Megan snarled at her as she held her cheek and ran off to her friends.

“What are you doing here?” I ask Megan, still surveying the crowds for Jacksons fucking face.

“Shut up and thank me for saving your ass” she says rolling her eyes.

I kiss the top of her head and say “Glad you showed up because I would’ve knocked her ass out if she had actually hit me.” I don’t mean it, but my gratitude pacifies Megan's mood.

“How did you know we were here Sis?” Luka asks, catching up to us.

“June-Bug told me that you called him, so I asked him to drive me here. So I’m here” she says.

We don’t have time for this conversation so I start walking toward the back of the bar where the pool tables are. The closer I get, the more I can see that there are two tables full of people, some of whom I recognize from the reunion. It doesn’t faze me, I’m too fucking angry at this point to care who’s sitting at the tables alongside that piece of shit.

“Yo Jax! What happened to your face? Did a cat scratch you?” Some guy asks
