ORIGIN OF MAYHEM - CHAPTER TWO - SATURDAY'S DISASTER


''And sometimes, you are going to be as fierce as a dragon armed in scales of impenetrable gold and sometimes you are going to be as vulnerable as a lamb, soft and comforting in newborn wool. Both versions of you deserve to be loved. Both versions of you are needed. Both versions of you are beautiful.''


The next morning Dolores woke up and noticed Stephen still asleep next to her. She rushed a hand through her hair and got out of bed. She quickly took a shower, got out and dried herself off. She pulled her caramel brown hair up in a ponytail and got decided to put on a pink polka dotted dress, a jean jacket and brown colored sandals. Dolores walked to the kitchen and made herself a cup of tea. She could hear Stephen getting out of bed and watched him walk into the kitchen and made himself a cup of coffee.

''Can we talk about last night?'', he asked while leaning against the kitchen counter, looking at her. ''What do you want to know?'', she asked and looked down at her cup of tea. ''Who was he and what did he want?'', Stephen asked. ''A friend of the family. They just wanted to know if I was still breathing. That's all.'', she replied. She watched Stephen take a sip from his coffee. ''Don't worry, it won't happen again.'', she added. Stephen nodded in agreement. ''Where are you going? You look beautiful.'', Stephen said, changing the subject. ''It would be better if I'd have some make-up.'', she said. ''No make-up. Only when I say so.'', he said on a stern way.

Dolores finished her tea and got up. She placed the empty cup on the kitchen counter. ''I'm going to Grace. She wanted to go shopping or something.'', she told him. Stephen wrapped his arms around her and started kissing her neck. ''How much time do you have?'', he said between the kisses. Dolores tried to push him away, but he even grabbed her tighter. His hands got under her dress and went up to her panties. ''No sex before marriage, right?'', she said, trying to get out of his grip. ''No one needs to know.'', he said, his voice husky. Dolores didn't want this, not now and not with him. ''Fuck off!'', she yelled, pushing him away from her. He grabbed her tight by her arm and brought her face up to his. ''Watch your language.'', he said, gritting his teeth. She tried to get out of his grip, her arm started to hurt and she was sure it would leave a bruise. She nodded in hope he would let go of her. ''S-sorry.'', she mumbled. When Stephen let go of her and Dolores quickly grabbed her her keys and went outside, walking her way to Grace.


Grace's house wasn't too far, just two blocks away from her house. She had met Grace at church when Dolores was new in town. Grace is a happily married woman and a teacher on the local elementary school. The two really got along with each other and they became quickly became friends. But just like Stephen, Grace didn't had a clue about the rest of her life. Dolores knocked on the door and Grace opened the door. ''Ready to go?'', Grace smiled. Grace grabbed her keys and walked toward the car, closing the front door behind her. She unlocked the car and they both got in.

They talked about work while Grace was driving. Suddenly Dolores felt jealous, why could Grace have her own car and not her? She missed having a car or riding something else. She had a car before she had met she started dating him he told her to get rid of her car and she listened afraid he would leave her. Dolores let out a sigh as she watched the road signs. ''Where are we going anyway?'', she asked her friend. ''Please don't get mad. I wanted it to be a surprise.'', Grace said with a small smile. Dolores raised one of her eyebrows and looked at her. ''You know I don't like surprises.'', she replied. ''Sorry Dolores. We're going to Charming.'', Grace said, revealing some of the surprise.

When she heard Charming, Dolores froze inside. Charming? How the hell could Grace know? Did she know? ''There is a great store for wedding dresses. I thought you'd like to see some dresses for the wedding.'', Grace told her. Dolores felt a bit relieved. But what if someone saw her? What if someone saw her in the wedding store? ''Stephen told me he asked you to marry him, so I thought you'd already start planning the wedding and I wanted to be the one to go shop wedding dresses with you. I thought you'd like it, sorry.'', Grace explained herself while she drove past the Charming welcoming sign.

While Grace watched the road, Dolores let out a sigh.''It's fine, I like it Grace, but I haven't said yes to Stephen yet.'', Dolores said. ''Why not? He'd be the perfect husband.'', Grace asked. Dolores nodded before answering. ''You're right, I'm just doubting myself. That's all.'', she answered. Grace parked her car in front of the bridal store. They both got out of the car and walked into the store.


After a couple of hours of looking for dresses, they decided to go back home without a dress. Dolores had seen a lot of nice dresses, but she didn't want to buy one, not yet. She hadn't even said yes yet to Stephen. She wasn't sure if she even wanted to say yes to him. They got into the car and Grace tried to start the car, but it didn't start. ''Maybe it's the battery.'', Dolores told her. ''Yeah I think so. Maybe the woman in the store wants to call someone who can help us.'', Grace suggested. Dolores nodded before they both got out of the car and walked back into the bridal store. ''Excuse me miss.'', Grace said to a female worker. ''How can I help you?'', she asked. ''My car won't start. I wanted to ask you if you know someone who could help us out?'', Grace asked with a smile. ''Sure, I can call the garage. They'll be here in a few minutes.'', the female worker said. Grace thanked the woman before they went back to the car and waited.

Then it hit Dolores. Teller-Morrow was the only garage in Charming. She couldn't be seen by them, not here, not now. But it was already too late to do something about it, she could see the car from the garage riding towards them. She could see that one of them was Juice, someone she maybe had seen once or twice a few years ago when he was still a prospect. Maybe he wouldn't even recognize her. She didn't know the other one, probably a prospect or something. The guys got out of the car and walked their way to her and Grace. ''Having some problems girls?'', Juice said while smiling. Their eyes met for a second, but Juice didn't say anything. He didn't recognize her. ''Yeah, the car won't start.'', Grace told him. ''I see you left your lights on, the battery must be dead.'', the other mechanic spoke up.

They charged the battery of the car and the car started again. ''Thank you so much!'', Grace said to the mechanics when her car started again. ''Do you mind getting to the garage? There is some paperwork you need to fill in.'', Juice said to her. Grace nodded. ''Yeah sure.''

Dolores and Grace got in the car and drove after them, driving toward the garage. In her mind, Dolores cursed to herself. Probably Gemma would be at the garage, helping them out with the paperwork. Gemma would see her and confront her. That was for sure. But how would Grace react? She didn't know shit about this all. She didn't even had a clue. Dolores bit her lip when Grace pulled up in the lot. ''You coming?'', Grace asked her when she turned the engine off. ''I'm staying in the car.'', Dolores replied. Grace got out of the car and followed the unknown mechanic to the office. Dolores noticed Juice looking at her from the garage.


''That other lady in the car was hot. It's a shame she is staying in the car.'', Juice said while looking at the girl in the car. Chibs dropped whatever he was working on and walked to Juice. He stood next to him as he lit up a cigarette. ''Watch and learn Juicy-boy.'', Chibs said grinning as he walked over to the car.

Dolores cursed herself when she watched Chibs walking over to the car. Fuck, now she couldn't get out of this shit anymore. She looked away and tried to make it seem like she hadn't seen him. She grabbed her bag and pretended to look for something. Chibs opened the car door. ''Can I offer you something to drink lass?'', he asked with his Scottish accent. ''Shit.'', Dolores mumbled softly. Now she had to look at him. She looked at him and without saying anything. ''Jesus Christ! Dolly-girl, whatcha doing here?'', he said when he recognized her.

When Dolores stepped out of the car and Chibs stepped back to give her some space. ''I'm sorry. It was an accident. I didn't mean to come here.'', she replied, while looking at her hands. ''No need for apologies. I didn't expect you to be there. It's good to see you again lass.'', he smiled. She looked up again, into his eyes and smiled back to him. God, she had missed this man. She wrapped her arms around him, hugging him while pressing a kiss on his cheek. ''How are you anyways?'', he asked when she let go of him. ''I'm fine, what about you Chibs?'', she asked. ''I've missed you Dolly-girl.'', he told her while taking a drag from his cigarette.

''Can I ask you a favor?'', she asked. ''Always.'', he nodded as he took another puff. ''Do you maybe have a burner for me? '', she asked him. ''Yeah in the clubhouse are a few unused ones. You can have one of them. What for?'', he asked. ''I want one in case there is something and I need help.'', she told him. She didn't want to tell him the truth. She didn't want him to worry about her. She was here now, but she will leave again in a few minutes. She didn't want to cause any problems or get attached with the club again. ''You in danger Dolly-girl?'', he asked her as he looked straight into her eyes. ''No, I just want to be able to call you or anyone else.'', she explained. ''Whatever.'', he said as he walked his way to the clubhouse.

Dolores followed him and Juice walked his way towards them with look of disbelieve on his face. ''How did you do that?'', she could hear him asking Chibs. ''You didn't recognize her Juicy?'', Chibs asked him and grinned. He shrugged in reply. Dolores smiled at him. ''I'm Lola, Clay's daughter, remember?'', she said to him. Juice mentally slapped himself in the face. How could he forget the president's daughter? He even tried hitting on her. ''Eh yeah. Sorry.'', he mumbled. Chibs threw away his cigarette before stepping inside the clubhouse.

God, she even had missed the smell of cigarettes and booze. It was pretty quiet in the clubhouse. She spotted Piney sitting at the bar with a bottle of tequila. Some things never change. Piney looked up when he heard people walking inside the clubhouse. He watched Chibs and Juice walk in with a woman. Someone he had known a few years ago. ''Lola!'', he said smiling while standing up. Dolores smiled and walked toward him. ''Piney!'', she said while hugging him and pressing a kiss on his cheek. ''You have grown into a real lady. You look beautiful.'', he told her, while sitting down again. ''Thanks Piney.'', she said while sitting next to him.

In the corner of her eyes she could see Chibs and Juice walking into the chapel, searching for a burner for her. ''We need to celebrate your come back!'', Piney said while grabbing another shot glass behind the bar. He poured himself a shot and when he wanted to pour one for her, she shook her head. ''I'm leaving in a few minutes again, I'm sorry. There's nothing to celebrate.'', she softly spoke and looked down at her hands. She stood up again when she saw Chibs walking toward her, handing a burner over to her. She grabbed the burner and put in her jean jacket. ''Thanks.'', she told him with a small smile.


Back at the garage, Grace was in the small office finishing up some paperwork. ''From Isleton, huh? What are you doing here in Charming?'', the woman who helped her filling in her paperwork asked. ''Oh, I'm with a friend, we were looking for some wedding dresses.'', Grace answered the woman. ''So who is the lucky one?'', the woman asked with a smile. ''I'm already married. My friend is the lucky one.'', Grace told her while signing the last paper. The woman grabbed all the papers and placed them right next to the computer. ''Come on. I'll walk you to your car.'', she said while walking out of the office.

Dolores walked out of the clubhouse with Chibs and Juice. ''Going to church?'', Chibs asked, noticing her dress. Dolores let out a chuckle. ''No, church is always on Sundays and today is Saturday, remember?'', Dolores replied with a smile. Dolores looked around and saw Grace walking back to her car from the office, followed by Gemma. Gemma stopped in her tracks when she saw Dolores. Grace also stopped looking at Gemma, quite confused. Great, now she had to face Gemma too. ''It was good to see you Dolly-girl.'', Chibs said before giving her a hug and a kiss on her cheek. He walked back to the garage, followed by Juice after he told her his goodbye.

Dolores walked her way to Gemma and Grace. Grace had noticed Gemma was looking at her, but she kept her mouth shut. ''Lola?'', Gemma said, quite confused. Dolores showed a small smile. ''Hi Gemma.'', she said. ''You two know each other?'', Grace asked. Dolores didn't say anything. She didn't want Grace to know, but now she didn't had any choice. ''Yeah, I'm her stepmother.'', Gemma answered. Grace now even looked more confused. ''You didn't told me your parents were divorced. Actually, you have never mentioned them at all.'', Grace said. ''You also never told me you were getting married.'', Gemma said right after Grace. ''You didn't tell me Jax was expecting a kid.'', Dolores spat back at her. Gemma looked quite shocked. ''How?'', Gemma asked her. ''Hap.'', Dolores replied. ''Come on Grace. We're going home.'', she told Grace while keeping her eyes on Gemma. She was already done with her stepmother.

They got into the car and Grace drove out of the lot, driving back home. ''I didn't knew you had family up here. You could have told me.'', Grace said. ''I know. I'm sorry. I just thought we wouldn't cross paths. I never see them anymore, I broke contact.'', she replied. ''Because your family are some outlaw bikers?'', Grace asked. Dolores nodded in reply. ''Please don't tell Stephen. I don't want him to know any of this.'', she said. ''I won't tell anything.'', Grace replied.
