I couldn't help but groan as I stepped foot out of the car and touched down on the old familiar pavement. It had been a very long time since I had been back to my home town. I hated the thought of being back, but the phone call I had received the previous morning confirmed my worst fears causing me to drop everything and get back to town to see my sister. I had grown up in Charming, finally leaving as soon as I turned eighteen. I had seen what happened to the kids I had grown up with. More then a few of them were now working full time in the town lumber yard or the local shit hole restaurants. I had seen close friends turn to the towns growing escort businesses and some even belonged SAMCRO the notorious biker gang. If I had of stayed here I would have been just another one of them most likely working for my father, or getting pregnant early on but I wanted more then that. I wanted more then what Charming could give me.

I quickly shut the car door behind me and rushed up the familiar steps of the local hospital. I pushed through the heavy doors trying to remain patient but I couldn't help but find myself snapping at the young girl behind the counter. "Tristen Oswald's room please" I blurted out leaning against the counter. I couldn't help but tap my feet against the marble floor, a nervous habit I had picked up years ago as I waited for any kind of response. "Miss I'm sorry I cant give out that information" she said quietly, "I'm her sister I can show you my id" I was quick to snap back. "I'm sorry I still can not give out that information. The police are not allowing her to have any visitors just yet, its the parents request." the girl said before turning her attention to a file in front of her. "Fine" I managed to say before turning and heading down the long hallway. I had no idea why my sister was in this hospital, my parents had called me with a message that Tristen had been in an accident but she was okay. What the fuck had happened to cause the police to be involved. I quickly rushed through the crowded hallway, determined now to find her room myself. I turned the corner just in time to see a familiar face speaking with my very tired looking father.

I held back, trying to see exactly why the Son and my dad looking deep in conversation, his mother Gemma standing not far behind them. I held my breath, nervous now watching as Jax Teller took off into the nearby maternity wing leaving my dad standing there alone now. I rushed over to him hoping to avoid the glare of the son as I stood in the same spot they had been moments before. "Dad" I blurted out as I felt his arms wrap around me pulling me into a deep hug as I felt his lips quickly touch my cheek "Holly, thank god your here. Your mother and sister will be so happy to see you" he said now sounding more exhausted then he looked. "Dad what is going on? why were you talking to Jax Teller?" "Hunny, it's okay Jax is just going to help me out don't worry about that. I want you to see your sister she needs you" he said quickly brushing off my request for more info on why he was was with the vp of the Sons. "What happened to her why is she here?" "Holly," he started off grabbing my hands telling me this was more serious then I had first imagined. "We were at Fun Town. We left her for five minutes, she was supposed to be waiting for us but we couldn't find her. She was attacked Holly, some ass hole dressed as a fucking clown took her into the woods and raped her" he said chocking on the last words.

It quickly hit me at once. My thirteen year old sister was stuck in this hospital because someone attacked her, how was she going to recover from this? and how was it going to change the sister I had seen grow into an amazing young girl. "Holly? are you okay?" I heard my fathers voice. "Yeah one second, I just need to catch my breath. I will be back I just need a minute. Don't tell her I'm here yet I want to surprise her" I said quickly before pushing away from him basically running down the hall. I hated feeling this way, selfishly taking time for myself instead of being in there with her holding her and trying to make sense of this. I sighed as I felt the cold fall air hit my cheeks. I tucked myself close to a nearby wall quickly pulling a cigarette from my purse and slipped it between my lips, just as this feeling got the best of me and tears quickly began pouring down my cheek. I dropped the cigarette and sunk down the wall burying my face in my hands as I cried hard, not knowing what to do next.

I couldn't help but feel guilty knowing if I hadn't left Charming so quickly I would have been with them that day. How was I possibly supposed to comfort her. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard an unfamiliar voice "Hey you okay?". I looked up to see a young guy with a mohawk and tattoos covering each bald section of his head. He was wearing a dark blue hoodie, he was cute I couldn't help but admit it but now was not the time for me to be flirting with random guys. "Yeah thanks, just a rough day I just wanted to come have a smoke before I go back in" I said embarrassed now as I quickly wiped the tears from my cheeks with the sleeve of my sweater. "Here" he said holding his hand out, without thinking I accepted slipping my hand into his as he pulled me off the ground. "Thanks" I said hoping I had another cigarette and the one I had dropped a moment ago wasn't the last one, I usually only smoked when I was stressed causing me to carry less then a pack at a time. "Dammit" I muttered under my breath as I found the empty pack in my purse confirming my fear. "Here, take one" he offered as he held out a full pack. "Thanks" I said slowly slipping one out of the pack and holding it between my fingers as he held out a lighter quickly touching the flame to the end.

I silently slipped the small cigarette between my lips sighing as I took a deep breath in before exhaling the dark smoke, feeling slightly relaxed as I felt the familiar sensation slip down my throat. "So are you here for family to?" I asked trying to make some conversation with the polite stranger, "No I was just dropping off the bosses wife some things her daughter in law and grandson are in here". "Oh well good for you, avoiding this place is smart. Anyways thanks for the cigarette I really needed it. Whats your name?" I asked as I quickly took a few more long puffs before dropping the cigarette knowing I needed to get in there and finally face my little sister. "No problem anytime, cant see a pretty girl out here crying without offering a little relief and it's Juice" he said with a wink and a gorgeous smile. I couldn't help but laugh feeling relieved again "Well it's nice to meet you Juice. Hopefully I will see you around" I said with a wink before I took off back into the towns old hospital, convinced I heard the sound of a motorcycle starting up.
