CHAPTER 2


"Appears you know Andrea, too," the Governor said walking in between the two. She looked over at Jax, reading his eyes. This man was fearless, she thought. He was here to save her from all this.

"You could say that," he smiles slyly looking at her.

How did they not know each other, Jax thought smirking.

"We dated in highschool," Andrea says outloud, but she does not know why. The Governor or Philip, whatever you wanted to call him had allready pushed her so far way. The relationship or whatever it was, had ran it's course. Yes, she loved Philip, but not like she did Jax. She could never love anyone like that.

"You get around don't you? A little slut," The Governor sneers at her.

"Hey, you don't talk to her that way," Jax says spitting in his face. The Governor wipes his face, not sure if he is pissed or impressed.

"Look, I don't know how you acted out there. But that type of behavior it isn't allowed here in Woodbury. I'll let it slide this time, because your Martinez's friend. Another wrong move you will be out there again. I am in charge here," he threatens.

"Yes Governor," Jax says coldly at the older man. He isn't scared of anyone, and never has been. He came here looking for her not a place to hide out. He was prepared to take what was his, and leave this place behind. The look in her eyes, let him know she was ready to leave this place first chance she got. He walked away leaving her alone with the Governor, but only for the moment. She was going with him. He knew she wasn't safe here.

"Stay away from him," the Governor told Andrea as she watched him walk of with Martinez.

"Are you telling me who I can and can't talk to now?" She says suddenly feeling pissed. Who was he to tell her what to do?

"You need to be safe. That man is hostile," he reasons with her.

"When do you care about my safety so much? Lately, all you seem to care about is revenge," Andrea whispers. She knows who this man is now. Knows what he has done. Still, she loved him. But seeing Jax changed everything. He reminded her what true love was like. And it wasn't like this at all.

"You planning on leaving aren't you?" He questions her.

"I think that would be for the best. This is never going to work," Andrea says running her fingers through her blonde hair. She is tired of the Governor and his lies. She needs to leave, and doesn't plan on hiding it from him.

"For Rick or that guy?" He says now anger. Why he should he care if she goes? She was something he had, but he didn't love her. She wasn't his Sarah, no matter how much they resembled each other physcially. Still maybe on some level he did love her, or perphaps he just didn't want that asshole taking her away.

Either way, she wasn't going , little Miss Andrea would be staying in Woodbury with him. If she did leave there would be no life for her after Woodbury. If he couldn't have her, well noone could.

"Doesn't matter to you. I know you planned on killing me. That is why you wanted me at the meeting with Rick," Andrea says loudly. Too loud the Governor thinks.

"Keep your voice down. I understand what you are saying Andrea. You are wrong. I never planned on letting you go to that meeting in the first place. I just said that because I knew it was what you wanted to hear. And I get tired of your constant need to be included. So yeah I lied. I wasn't going to kill you," he breathes.

"More lies. This whole relationship is build on lies. And I am done," she says her voice lower.

"That is what you do isn't it? Run away when someone questions your loyalty. You left the here to go back to the prison. Couldn't stay loyal to Rick. So you came back here. Now you plan on leaving again, huh? After everything I did for you. Just throw me away. How do you think things should work now? We have to take what we need to survive. If you didn't know Rick and the others I doubt you have a problem with what I am doing," the older man saying grabbing her arm.

"If you believe that for one minute, then you don't know me at all," Andrea says pushing him away. She couldn't believe that Philip would suggest she was okay with killing others for food and supplies. Yes, she wanted to survive in this world. But not like that. If she had known that was what he was doing then she would have never stayed in this place.

"I'll stop by your apartment in awhile sweetheart. Be in a better mood, and don't say or do anything stupid," he warns.

She says nothing, but walks off with Jax on her mind.
