A/N: Inspired by West End Girls by Shady Sweets Mcgee. I also recommend reading her other story A Grand Theft, Melanie is an awesome character as is Jackie.

'Once again, I wake up here… I should sleep better.' Jackie thought as she opened her eyes, finding herself on the couch in the office of the Vanilla Unicorn, tucked under a blanket.

She heard two voices arguing just outside in the back. One was her new boss, Trevor. The second was a younger, feminine one. If Jackie had to guess the girl's age, it would be in her mid to late teens.

Jackie stretched out and stood up as the back door flung open and immediately acted as soon as the girl was tossed in there by Trevor.

"Hey, back off, boss!" Jackie yells, helping the girl up. Upon a closer look, the girl was tiny, about 5ft tall and 102 pounds. She didn't seem worriedly thin but Jackie still thought she was too tiny.

"Carly, I'd like you to meet Jackie! Your boys in the Lost MC killed her brother!" Trevor says, saying the last part casually as if Carly and Jackie had already met each other.

Jackie glared evilly at Trevor. For his mistreatment of Carly, for him saying what he did… but then again, Trevor Philips knew absolutely nothing about being discreet or how to treat the ones he claimed to love as family. Trevor, while drunk out of his mind last night, had talked about what Carly was like as a little kid and what she's like now.

"Johnny is her friend! You hate him but Carly's allowed to be friends with whoever she chooses!" Jackie says before helping Carly outside, feeling like a sleazy strip club was no place for a teenager… even though something told Jackie that Carly was dragged here. "You alright?" She asks, seeing that Carly was rubbing her right shoulder.

"Yeah, just some nerve damage left from being shot outside my old high school." Carly says before lowering her left hand and arm to her side, Jackie's eyes widening in slight shock as she remembered hearing about North LS High being burned down after a student was shot there.

"Are you the one who… burned…" Jackie says.

"Yeah… burned that damn school, fire gutted the first three floors of the school and incidentally, set off bombs attached to a vault underground… the vault belonged to the FIB, had files they didn't want to keep on their computer." Carly says.

"Haines had to have been pissed." Jackie says.

"Oh, he was. Who do you think he's been blackmailing into doing the FIB's dirty work lately?" Carly says, Jackie laughing a bit at Carly's sarcastic sense of humor. "Well, I'm gonna head on home… let you get back to the boss from hell." She says.

"Take care of yourself, kid." Jackie says, walking inside as Carly grabbed her phone and dialed a number that Jackie guessed was Johnny's. Jackie walked into the locker room, got changed into her street clothes, which was a pair of shorts and a Los Santos Rock Radio shirt before putting her stripper outfit into her bag and zipping it up.

Jackie did not want to deal with Trevor's craziness right now. She wanted a drink and to forget that Trevor casually brought up her brother's death like it was nothing. What aggravated her more was how Trevor treated Carly when he said he used to be a good uncle to her when she was little.

Something told Jackie that Trevor wasn't ready to let go of the Carly he left behind in Ludendorff and that he was going to extremes to keep Carly as that little kid.

Jackie sighed as she left, getting into her Cavalcade and driving to her apartment… these next few days and every day after that were going to be even crazier.

At the same time, Carly and Johnny were in the Lost MC clubhouse in East Vinewood, Carly downing vodka shots as she tried to forget that Trevor snatched her as she was walking down Vinewood Boulevard, tied her up and drove her to the strip club. The two argued during the whole drive and even after Trevor had untied Carly. When she got out and tried to leave, that when Trevor kicked the door open and tossed her into the office.

There were some days that Carly really hated Trevor. He had been gone from her life for 9 years and the second he barged back in and found out that Carly and Johnny had been friends for 2 years, he immediately tried to pull her away from him, which pissed Carly off.

"I think you should cut yourself off right now." Tyler says after Carly had downed 10 vodka shots.

"Tyler, I've had a bad fucking day, don't make me turn it into a bad fucking night for you!" Carly threatened drunkenly, Tyler immediately heading upstairs to play a game of poker.

"You didn't have to threaten him, darlin. He's just looking out for you." Johnny says, lightly rubbing his hand up and down Carly's back. Carly was normally funny and in a lighter mood when she had a few drinks. Right now, she seemed a bit angry.

"If Trevor ever really cared… if he ever really was Uncle T to begin with, he'd be happy that I wasn't alone… instead, he still wants that little girl he loved back in Ludendorff… but she's been gone for years." Carly says, still drunk but feeling comforted by Johnny being here with her and having him to talk to whenever Trevor got on her nerves.

"I'm sure in some way, Trevor still cares about you… he has a hard time showing it because in his mind, you never stopped being that little girl he left behind." Johnny says, Carly looking at him with her bluish violet eyes.

Carly rested her head on Johnny's shoulder as he kissed her on her forehead, knowing that Carly was calming down. Johnny scooped her up in his arms, walked upstairs and gently placed Carly on the sofa bed in his office, Carly's eyes now closed as Johnny pulled the blanket over her.

Johnny knew that Trevor needed to accept that he can't control Carly and force her to be that little kid anymore.

If Trevor kept trying, Johnny had a feeling that it wasn't going to end well.
