Chapter 18

After unearthing so much truth out of Tommy, you decided to stay away from the Hewitts for a few days just to get your head right. The things Tommy spoke about were heinous and unforgivable, you felt you could cope with the growing guilt in your chest that hovered around your love for that family but, when you heard all of it spoken out loud in earnest… you felt more conflicted than ever.

You started ruminating in your headspace for so long that time lost its meaning.

-They were desperate, it was eat or die- You paced in your living room circling aimlessly.

-Luda Mae and Tommy were tricked into it! Yes, they are victims! They were coerced by Charlie!- you sat with that thought, it was a recurring excuse you gave them to ease your mind. It was true, Tommy never chose to do it, he was pushed into it by hunger and familial pressure from Charlie. You wondered how he managed to continue his cannibal acts for so long with how sensitive he really is.

-Tommy must have learned to dissociate, similar to what I saw when he killed Dover, there was no one behind those eyes that night- The memory of Tommys vacant, feral expression sent shivers up your spine.

-He isn’t like that, he is different, and he would never do anything to hurt or upset me, he’s proved that-

You love Tommy, and he would do anything for you. You kept racing through all the excuses you could conjure.

-He killed a man for me, I’m still complicit in a murder so no matter what I can’t leave… I will just have to learn to look past it-

You didn’t feel good about staying because of legal liability, it made you feel trapped and phony. You leaned back on the living room sofa and began to tear up. The overwhelming feeling of a powerful bond with such a loving family made your heart ache. Tommy is the only man you ever truly loved, and the only man who ever returned that love.

-Am I really so above them for sticking around for so long? For agreeing to marry Luda Maes son? For inheriting their home? They want to give me everything I ever dreamed of I just have to accept their past… So why can’t I do it?-

You held your head in your hands and sobbed; you didn’t want this ride to be over but morally there is no way you could justify staying. You had been able to set aside your morals when you only assumed they committed those crimes. What brought back up the concerning transgressions was the answers you sought, and were given in full.

-I slept with a cannibal killer, I slept with him and I love him… What does this make me?-

The work your mind was doing caused you to be exhausted, your thoughts had trailed on too long and your head was hurting from crying and stressing out for so many days. Tommy had spilled his guts to you that day, he spoke the truth to you in the hopes that you would see his remorse, and you just hid away… and he left you alone the whole time out of respect.

You got up and ran out the door, you made a sprint for the Hewitt house.

-I need him- Tommy is your comfort, his big strong body was a place of refuge when you felt out of your mind.

As you jogged up the dirt road you began to run out of stamina and ended up gasping for air as you walked the rest of the way to the driveway entrance. You were frozen at the gate, you were a mess of conflicting emotions that you were determined to figure out.

A wash of anxiety fell over you and made you spin around to head back home, the fact that you waited so long probably upset them and you were too scared to face it. Your feet dragged behind as you slinked back to your home with your tail between your legs. When you got to your driveway you see Charlie’s truck parked in front of the house but no one was in the cab.

You look around but saw no one, so you made your way to your backyard to find Charlie standing at the fence staring off at the view of the Hewitt property. You open the gate to get in and he slowly turns and gives you a half smile and tipped his old dirty ballcap to politely acknowledge your presence.

“What are you doing here?” you wonder if he was coming from the station with how you didn’t see his truck pass you. Charlie folds his arms and sucks his teeth,

“Tryin’ to figure out what you think yer doin.” He says confidently.

You feel confused and ask, “What do you mean by that?”

Charlie smirks and leans on the fence, he looks back over at the view from over his shoulder and says,

“Tilly always loved keepin’ tabs on us, she was nosey in the best way, that woman.” He turns to look down to you “Seems the apple don’t fall far from the tree in this orchard.”

You sigh, he is being cryptic and it’s making you tired. You head to the white wicker bench and take a seat.

“Charlie, if you want to say something to me just say it, please. I’m not exactly in the best state of mind right now.”

He laughs, “Girlie are you hellbent on upsetting us all with keepin’ away so long? Why’d you go up and leave and say nothin’ like that-and for so long?” he sounded angry but you could hear a bit of worry in his words like a father scolding their child for putting themselves in danger.

You lean back and hold your hands on your lap, “I didn’t really intend to stay away so long, I’ve just been trying to think some things over.”

Charlie rolls his eyes, “You women and yer damn thinking.” You give him an annoyed look but couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculous statement.

“Yeah, go on n’ laugh while poor Luda n’ Tommy been sick with worry” he was starting to pace.

You are taken back by his words and ask, “Are they ok?”

“No, they AIN’T” he snaps.

You soften, “I didn’t know, I’m sorry.”

He stops pacing and lets out a sigh, he comes over and sits next to you bringing the smell of an old brand of aftershave with him.

“I know you asked Tommy questions about the past, hell, he ain’t talked none since y’didn’t come back the day after you up n’ left.” He leans back and crosses his arms and continues,

“Well… did you make up yer mind to stay away then?”

You jerk your head to look at him, you never ended up coming to a decision and you didn’t like the sound of never coming back. You respond,

“I didn’t really conclude what my next move would be, I’m too stuck on trying to figure out how I feel.”

Charlie groans and stares up at the sky before he speaks,

“For the love of- you gotta be shittin’ me with that.”

“What? It’s not exactly easy deciding if you can live with such a horrendous secret like that!” you felt dismissed.

“Looky here missy, y’already been made part of the family. Shit, you fucked one of us fer one thing, and y’got a dirty secret of yer own with Dover bein’ dead, so get off yer high horse with that morality crap and just accept a lovin’ family. Hell, those two dummies down at the house been carryin’ on about thinkin’ they fucked up n’ y’hate ‘em.” He pauses and moves your shoulder to face him, “Do you hate them?”

“No! I love them!” you feel tears sting your eyes

“Then what’s the goddamn issue girlie? You feelin’ like yer gonna get judged?” he asks.

You nod your head and he laughs, “Dang, who the hell’s comin’ down to Fuller that’s gonna know ‘bout this?” he pats your back with a heavy hand and continues to laugh. You hadn’t thought about it like that before but the big splint in your mind was about how you judged yourself.

Charlie could see you were distraught and conflicted; he hushed his laughter and put his arm around your shoulders.

“Ah, worried about your own judgment.” You were surprised he could understand your thoughts and you looked up at him and nodded with a confused look on your face.

“Don’t look shocked now, I ain’t got tumbleweed for brains, I had to understand the human mind to hunt ‘em.” He gives an evil grin that looked sincere to the mentioned point, he starts laughing,

“Don’t worry yourself none, I ain’t killed no one in a long time. Luda n’ Tommy are good people; you don’t got to go feel stricken with guilt bein’ ‘round them- it’s me you should feel guilty ‘bout.”

You try to get up but he swiftly grabs you and sits you back down roughly,

“Now I ain’t gonna let you get up n’ run off while I tell you like it is.” You feel a tinge of fear from his domineering actions, you begin to stiffen as he slowly puts his arm back over your shoulders he notices and huffs at it, “Relax little lady I ain’t gon’ hurt ya none, I just told y’how I ain’t killed in a long time now didn’t I?” you nod and ease up a bit despite not fully believing his word, he continues,

“If you can’t get past yer feelins then stay here n’ we ain’t gon bother you no more… if y’can find it in yerself to get past the stupid guilt then come on back to the family n’ move past this shit. No one wants to be rememberin’ the past, especially those two back home; Shit… the fact that you got it out of them in the first place is impressive.” He stands up and walks over to the gate to the driveway, he stops and turns to you,

“I’ll give you one day to think on this, if y’don’t come down by the next day then y’don’t get to come on back, and believe me girlie, I’ll make sure of that.” He turned and walked out of the backyard leaving the gate open.

You hear his truck start and listen as it rolls down the driveway, you let out a sigh of relief. Charlie was intimidating and you didn’t exactly like being alone with him but you couldn’t help but appreciate the blunt nature of his personality. You stand up off the bench and close the gate he left open then head inside the house, you lean on the kitchen counter and stare out the window. -I think I need to sleep on it and decide tomorrow- You didn’t like ultimatums but, in this case, it really was helpful and you felt a little more confident that you would figure it out.

The next day you woke up late, the birds were no longer singing outside your window but you felt light as air from the good sleep. -I’m going to get over it, this is ridiculous. People can change-. You get out of bed and wash yourself; you couldn’t stop smiling the entire time. You put on some makeup and get into a cute yellow summer dress that matched the yellow purse you owned that had a white daisy pattern on it.

-I’m going to go back there and lift the clouds, this is my new home, they are my new family and they love me.-

You slip on some white sandals and walk toward the Hewitt house; it seemed like a cooling wind followed you as you made your way there. With your newfound relief, the Hewitt property looked a little less dark and run down to you and instead seemed full of potential for wiping it’s slate clean to start a new future.

You see Charlie in the barn pitching hay into the cow feeder, he looks up at you and gives a smug smirk followed by a wink and he continues feeding the cows. You make your way up to the front door with no sign of Luda Mae or Tommy anywhere which you found odd. You open the front door and walk inside heading towards the kitchen where Luda Mae is often found but there is no sign of her. You head into your old room and see Luda Mae on the bed curled up.

“Luda Mae? Is everything alright?” you ask.

She jolts up and turns to look at you, she has an expression of bewilderment,

“Y/N?” she uttered to herself.

You smile and she gets up and runs over to you, she gives you a hug and nearly knocks you over,

“Oh my lord, I can’t believe you’re really here!” She releases you from the hug and holds your hands in hers,

“Are you decided then? I got real upset when Charlie said he’d gone and meddled but I couldn’t help feel a bit of hope from what he’d went and done.” She looks into your eyes and waits for a response,

“I am yes. I realized that its ridiculous to be hung up over something so far in the past and that people change. I won’t be bringing it up again.” You see her eyes well up with tears and a smile emerge on her lips.

“Oh, I’m just so happy!” she squeals as she hugs you again a second time.

You hug her back tightly; she had such a way of hugging that just made you feel at ease and cared for. After a minute or two she lets you out of the hug.

“Where’s Tommy?” you ask.

She looks down and begins to fiddle with your dress, trying to flatten the creases she smushed into it,

“Dear, he has been keepin’ real quiet lately, I reckon he ain’t so great to talk to just yet.”

“I need to see him.” You said in a serious tone, she nods understandingly,

“Well, he’s been spendin’ a lot of time in the forest area, mopin’ about when he ain’t busy with chores. You might be able to find him out there.”

“Thank you” you give her a quick hug and turn away to head towards the forest, Luda Mae grabs your hand and says,

“Be real gentle with him dear, he’s been taking it hard.”

You nod and walk out to make your way to find him.

The sun was low and draped everything in a golden hue on the farm, lacing the edge of everything with a warm glow, you hurried along to find Tommy. You were so excited to see him but you were also feeling scared with him possibly being upset with you.

You make your way past the vehicle graveyard and find yourself in the cool shade of the forest, leaves hung down low and the setting sun shimmered in hushed rays through the branches making the area seem magical with deep golden hues dancing in the air.

You look around and call out for Tommy but there was no response, you spent a while searching the whole perimeter for him, he was not at the pond and he wasn’t near the cow meadow. You head back to the house but hear some tinkering noises in the mess of old cars littered across the dried grass.

As you moved closer toward the noise, you see a massive man bending over a large truck’s engine bay, it was Tommy. You smile and run over to him,

“Tommy! It’s me, I came back!” you cheer

He doesn’t turn to look at you, he just remained still, frozen under the hood of the truck. You slow yourself down and your smile dims,

“I… I know you must be upset. I shouldn’t have stayed away after I said I would be back next day, I’m sorry I hurt you.”

He doesn’t say a word and continues clinking away, you feel discouraged but you continue,

“It wasn’t fair of me to do that and I know you must feel a bit betrayed. I didn’t mean to hurt you or Luda Mae by keeping away, I was just really struggling to figure out my emotions.”

Still, he doesn’t respond. You go up close to him and touch his arm gently, he doesn’t acknowledge your attempt to connect and seems fixated on the engine. You aren’t sure what to say next, of course he would be mad at you, especially after you told him you would come back the next day, this man feared being abandoned by you and you broke his trust.

You take your hand off his arm and step back a bit, “You must hate me after I hurt you so bad, I truly didn’t want to cause any harm Tommy, please believe me.” You plead.

Tommy closes his eyes and sighs through his mask; he wipes his hands with an oily looking rag and sets down his tools on the ground. He leans his head back and stares into the trees,

“No” he says quietly

You move closer to him, “No?”

He shuts the hood of the truck and turns to look at you, he widened his eyes for a split second but quickly controlled himself from the overwhelming adoration he got when he saw you looking cute in your dress. He held the rag tightly up to his abdomen, his jeans were pale with black engine oil marks all over them, his old torn up shirt had the sleeves cut off to fit his huge arms through, it was once white but clearly was used for work which made it change to a dusty gray.

You felt a warm sensation of joy when he looked at you with his deep blue eyes, his expression softened when you blushed and smiled.

“I don’t hate ya.” He mumbles.

You smile at him and you feel tears begin to well up in your eyes,

“I promise I will never do that again Tommy, I swear it.” You say with conviction.

He nods his head and puts the rag in his back pocket; he reaches out and holds his hand out to you. You place your hand in his and he pulls you in and lifts you into a bear hug. You giggle and hug him back as your feet dangle from being lifted up so high,

“I missed you so much Tommy, I just knew there was no way I could live without you, it all became so clear to me.”

He let out a low laugh and squeezed you tightly, you managed to get your arms around his shoulders and squeeze back. The familiar scent of his fresh earthy tones wafted into your nose making you feel even happier to be back in his arms. You kiss all over his face and he laughs with joy while you pepper the uncovered skin on his face with love.

Tommy sits you on top of the trucks hood, it was an old F250 and the hood was massive so you tried to splay out the skirt of the dress to not get dirty. Tommy took off his mask revealing that he had a heavy amount of stubble growing underneath, he looked even more manly than usual and it left you feeling a bit giddy.

He leaned in over you and held himself up by putting his arms on either side of you blocking any way out, you felt like you were in a cozy nook, protected from any outside threats. He gazed lovingly into your eyes,

“I sure did miss my baby.” His soft baritone voice left you feeling butterflies flutter fiercely in your stomach. He leaned in really close to you and smiled, you felt like you were bewitched by him and couldn’t move or breathe. He carefully placed his lips gently onto yours and you felt yourself melt underneath him; you closed your eyes and held onto his thickly muscled arm as you felt a deep connection spark back up. Being back with Tommy and feeling his love and warmth was more than enough reason to keep you from staying away. You hadn’t realized how badly you missed everything about him, from his strong protective arms, to his honey sweet voice, you knew you made the right decision. How could anyone stay away from a life rich with love and loyalty. You were sure to erase any doubts in your mind, the longer he kissed you, the more your fears washed away.
