Chapter 1:30 What It Is - Rourke

last update Last Updated: 2025-05-01 17:48:07

Finding Tio alive and well without a mark on him should be a relief, it isn’t. Only adds another bolder to the weight cramping my yoked out shoulders, that I wasn’t there to stop it. No sooner to do I get them back to my place and settled before Pops calls me to tell me Rico and that Georgie is missing.

I’d rather deal with the fact that I just called my best friend the almond eyed sub I was trying to avoid since closing the door with Nyx. Although, me half falling for a dude in my recovery is way easier to process than the shit currently rolling around my brain courtesy of nightmares I still have.

Reason I have my own room, same as Vince, whenever we stay overnight together.

Georgianna Farelli is my sister, adopted or no. She’s not the only sister I ever had though.

My parents were gunned down in front of my eyes when I was six years old. My baby sister Anna was four at the time, and no matter how hard I went at the fuckers, we were still sold to the South Syndicate.

It was pretty c

    Tugging her through the city streets, it’s easy to tell that she’s used to being bossed as much as manhandled. With both of us fading by the second, I know there’s no way we’re making it back to my place. So, I choose the next best thing. Zach's.It's a twenty-four-seven diner run by a woman named Helen and her brother Zeke. Their brother was lost in the war, which is why they named it that. With Zeke's PTSD, it's not as if it's winning any awards for quality or consistency. However, it's the place all vets feel comfortable going, I guess.It’s mostly empty, and I manage to slide booth before the last bit of bone in my legs gives out on me. I can’t breathe or speak and feel about as stable as jello.Ana is directly across from me, and in another moment of association, I get that feeling. A strange clarity on what it’s like from the outside looking in with her struggling to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen.The fancy lady struggles with a button that isn’t on her neck, and tries sev

    Even though most people still aren’t out of bed yet, both of us are exhausted. I guess that’s to be expected after everything she’s been through, so I propose a nap. Rather than think I’m weird, George nods earnestly, both of us thanking Helen and the rest for their help before we leave hand in hand. The longer we walk, the slower I get. Seeing her curious green eyes taking my side of town in. There are parts I don’t go. Parts I haven’t been brave enough to face. I grew up by the docks, but ventured into what folks call the Hollow on more than one occasion. Back then, it was just a few blocks, but it only took a day of exploring to feel like I was in some film. Walking down an old street I had no business on, taking in the change. Twenty years was sure to do a great number of things, but the areas the Sisters forbid us to near, were few. Now, they seem impossible to avoid with how much they’ve spread. Much like a cancer or half buried time capsule. My part of the city decayed u

    “Haven was beautiful. So much more than I ever dreamed,” I tell my new friend. Looking around as if the colors are still bright. As if the brick is still clean and shinning its clay red. See the clothes lines strung with linens in the breeze, hear the music played on the corners…… “But Sister Agatha says we have to take the good with the bad,” I lick my lips. “The bad being the son of the man who paid for our voyage claiming that he owned us. That we were his slaves and that we had to do whatever he said.” I rub the brand on my shoulder subconsciously. Dropping my head, my face, my tone, hiding from the person I’m trying to tell my story. I don’t say Dominic’s name out loud, but am conscious enough that I don’t refer to him as Voldemort to confuse her either. “I guess it was being I was one thing my whole life, to find out I was something else entirely…… That I’d been bullied so long or finally got a good enough grip on the language that I finally piped up, and told him how wrong

    I think I have a few friends in my new roommates, but then again I’m not a very good judge of that, and it’s not like I can be truly honest. The girls I live with are aware of my PTSD, but not all the rest I’d just told a woman I’d know for all of five minutes.It was no joke when I told George that some of the best, if not weirdest, bizarre or otherwise questionable moments of my life happen in a corner store. That pattern started during Hallow Fest when I turned eighteen. Actual eighteen. I was sixteen on paper at the time. Maybe it’s when I noticed the pattern emerging…. Alex swears I have a type. Knows it; even if I never admitted it out loud.Claims that the only thing that ever gets my engine revving are tall, dark, and dangerous types like him. No matter how many lectures I’ve given my vagina, or what I say to the contrary, the proof is in the pudding. The literal pudding my legs and other parts turn into around the last things I should possibly want. The furthest thing from

    Beyond that unforgettable experience on the side of a corner store, I met my first girlfriend in one. Stopped the mugging of one …… Regardless. No matter how strange, my meetings in those places, I’ve found that they are lasting in their own ways. Ryan and her newborn tyke Ryan Junior another example. Some of them have pharmacies and I had to give the lady behind the counter a what for, when big Ryan said that she was allergic to the medicine her doctor prescribed her while pregnant. Disgraced as I may be now, I was, at one point in my life, a very good physician. I also have an entire junk drawer of facts stored away much like a hard drive. Eidetic memories work with facts as much as situations. It is in many ways photographic. So when something is triggered, I can close my eyes and retake my medical board exam. All that to say, it was illegal to deny Ryan the medication she needed because it was more expensive, and I told them both so. At which point we got what she needed and h

    “Actually, that makes sense,” Ryan nods. “I want to go into pediatrics, and have been reading up on development. I was surprised as anyone that there are different levels of autism. It’s a one to three scale. One being mostly self-sufficient. Two being somewhat reliant on their person and the third is what most people know about because that’s when it’s obvious.” Needless to say, I’m flabbergasted. Most people aren’t aware of that, which is another reason that autism is such a misdiagnosed and under recognized condition. I’ll admit I’m happier about Ryan being under George’s microscope for a minute. I need a moment to process the too vulnerable feeling. Still, as Ryan goes on, I’m not sure if I feel more like a diamond or an ant. The way that she’s breaking it down, makes it sound like an everyday, completely normal occurrence. I, on the other hand, know better and feel like I might just burst into flames when Ryan looks to me for confirmation. George’s olive green stare follows,

    “After my medical discharge from the AF, I had a hard time with clinical work, so Nicky thought research would be my niche. In which I met the all too sweet Brian.My first time was in public, and I figured it was a kink of his.After a few months, I wanted to take it to the next level, hoping that a purchased leather get up would go further than a created ribbon version of the picture Nicky sent me. Just for good measure, I tied myself to the bed, no chance of breaking anything there.”All of them know better than to agree at this point, and are on the edge of their seats.“So with a romantic dinner for two in the oven, and nothing but straps over everything but my lady bits, I settled in and waited patiently waited for Brian to get back to his room.”One more gulp for the humiliation I’m living in my head should be enough to get me through the rest.“So when the lock to his door clicks I bite my lips and spread my legs for good measure.

    The following morning, the landlord proves to upset my dear friend once more by red tagging the building. No matter how many times I try to reassure George that it’s just a ploy to raise the rent, and as long as we don’t leave we’re fine, she’s adamant. So I agree to check out a few rentals, as long as she goes along with my ten jewel a day tour. I think it’s more due to me admitting no one’s ever gone shopping with me like this other than Nicky. I’ve had girlfriends, but never girls who were friends to do things like this. I’m even happier that Ryan tags along, and it’s a real chick flick-esque experience. I almost hear some up beat pop song as background music. Well, actually I make a soundtrack for us on one of my mini MP3 players that I get for a dime a dozen. I don’t know that I’m against technology, but…… Well, that junk drawer isn’t limited to medical or random bits of fact and fiction.

    Waking up in a strange though lavish cabin, doesn’t help my disorientation when I come to. I’ve been loaded down with painkillers, that I have to vomit out of my system. I pull myself up between one good arm, and an opposing good leg to lean on the balcony and let the cool forest breeze take care of the sweat, and dim the icky feeling.Taking stock of my busted head, stitching in my reset shoulder and the unique aftermath of a bullet in my leg. We’re not in the city. It’s way too quiet. No traffic. No sirens. No bustling.Even though there is nothing left, the new throb of my skull tells me I have a concussion that has me woozy again. And wouldn’t you know, I find a way to topple over the hip-high railing and roll down the branches of a thick tree. Stuck right in at the base of an upper limb, worse than a bad wedgie.The more I blink, the longer I get a clear focus before I go underwater again. All things considered, I seem to be okay…….

    ……… Fifteen Years Ago ………..I’m with my first long-term sub, ‘Heather’. On leave for the first time in months. Just out of the worst attack we’d seen since the initial bombing that started the draft a few years back. I need my girls safe. I want my girls happy. Doesn’t mean that I don’t feel that edge. That need for obedience, and all the alternative ways I have of getting them to listen.Just fucking listen to Daddy and you’ll have more than you can imagine. “Sorry Daddy,” the mock pout from Heather’s wider cheeks and stuck out lip when she looks back, is cute enough I wonder if she'll keep it up. Let me have the rougher side that leads to as many marks as it does ice packs. Have her locked down in my bed for the week that I’m home. That won’t let anything or anyone take her from the bubble of my power. It’s true that I need the release of aggression and stress, and as good as I’ll make it all feel for my sub, it does mean she’ll have to agree to forfeit walking for a day or two.

    It takes me a minute to come to. I slept well, I think, but am jolted by the sensory overload of a large empty room. I remember having an absolute fit, but not much else. It's so..... fuzzy, and hurts the more I try to remember things..... I don't know what I did or where I am. Just that my head hurts, it smells great, and I feel awful.I also have this sense of grief. Like my heart’s broken. I know the feeling because regardless of the one beating being on the wrong side, this feeling happens in the left. Or the whole of my chest cavity.I know that I’ve been crying in my sleep. Where some part of me remembers what is so big. What in the schnitzel happened? The only thing popping up in the void of my bandaged noggin is that I was at a bar and a demon saved me from getting married to Jonathan……Holding my throbbing head, all of my thoughts turn to goblty gook again. Every thought that comes in flies right out again, and I reach..... search for those comparisons I need and..... Ooof,

    ….......Vince........Mid-meeting with one of the family heads I semi trust enough to take intel from, I'm alerted to an emergency situation at the hospital. Normally, I deal with the board, rather than handle things directly, but according to the frantic woman on the phone, a psychopath is making death threats.It’s a new habit, but a habit nonetheless to pull up Tio's location. Needless to say, I move faster than a bat out of hell tugging along Vance, who's every bit the size but nowhere near the personality as Rourke is. Apparently there is another in house problem with Ana, like we don't have enough on our plates. Getting into the doors every one might as well cross themselves and fall to their knees. I only get half the story, with Nico pacing in the hallway rather than in a room with our kid. It's a whole new level of red, hearing fragments of the fact that my son was denied treatment. That mixed with Nico hiring a nanny rather than staying with Tio as agreed just to get som

    I’m already out of sorts as is by the time I get to the ER in North-Point. Thankfully I didn’t get lost, and the Witches tracking spell has failed. Otherwise, I have no doubt he’d have arranged a meet cute with the corner apocalypse man for the way I left. I’m not so far gone though, that I don’t recognize the staff letting someone else back while RJ is fighting for breath. “Let's go,” I grab Ryan Senior's arm dragging her through the swing doors into the triage station. She either knows the look in my eyes or is too frantic about her sick baby to care about things like the No Admittance without a medical attendant, signs. I can also guarantee there will be ‘no hair on my tongue’ when I lose my stuffing with these people. No matter how well we dress or behave, Hollow are less than people to Northside prats.I can't really say if it's mom mode, that I'll never truly get to use like I wanted.

    Well, apparently the red tags aren’t a bluff this time. With bulldozers parked along with the demolition, notices hanging all over our walls, I call the person I meant to on arriving instead of the man who has a tendency to make things worse, unwittingly. Ryan. She was already there clearing out everything that was left. Catching me up on everything that happened after I left. Turns out Lucy and Shannon had moved in with George. Starting a real relationship with her, while Ryan was just staying at George’s new town house until she could find another place for her and RJ. “You okay with all that?” Ryan asks as we pack up the bathroom. “Yeah,” I lick my lips, finding that I really am. Even if Ryan’s straight, she respects the fact that I’m bi and people like who they like. Is even nice enough and comfortable being close to me unlike a lot of other girls who know the truth about me. And just for old time’s sake, she helps me do my hair and make up before we go to George’s. I’m sur

    After about three days, Nicky relents to cutting me off from the anti-psychotics. Dr. Cross is more than aware that I'm not taking the sleeping pills any more than the mood stabilizers that might as well be elephant tranq darts.I don't like how they make me feel. I would say I don't like how they make me think, if I had the ability to process more than two plus two equals four while on them. I won't say that I didn't consider meds with how weird my life was getting, but a bit of anxiety is worth the ability to feel the wind, and appreciate rather than blur the world around me.The sleeping pills may have stopped the night terrors, but even without the other suppressors those little white dots made it impossible to function the following day. I was sleeping between twelve and fourteen hours rather than the usual four or five I needed every night.Those things make me just as tired as the rest and are just making my icky stomach even more unbearable. I have a sprained ankle, burns on

    I know I may look like an over grown gorilla out of the dark ages, but fuck. There's only so much a man can take. Even my big ass. Even though I was more rabid beast than a kid, Gio adopted me regardless. It was Georgie, who got me to live again. Girl got it in her own way, was adopted same as I am. Her parents died in a car crash, and Pop didn't trust the rest of his cousins to step up. That and it was pretty obvious that she belonged to Gio rather than the brown-eyed brute who'd adopted Rico anyway. I'm not stupid and did have a decade's worth of education between eleven and twenty when I went into the allied forces. It was pretty clear, even if it wasn't what Gio intended adopting me, that the pits would never really be out of my system. I was a fighter plain and simple, and in his mind I needed all the structure and honor that went along with that. It was the best and hardest thing that could have happened. Just because I don't believe that numbers and letters will ever belo
