Jax swore as he swung Peyton up into his arms after catching her before she hit the ground. "Chibs can you check her over or do you think I need to take her to the hospital?"

Chibs stepped forwards after gently moving Trinity to the side and said "Take her into the main part of the club house Jax and I'll check her over. If I think she needs to go to the hospital I'll let you know."

Jax nodded and led the way inside while Gemma wrapped her arm around Trinity's shoulders as she saw that Trinity was shaken up at what had just happened and she said "Peyton will be alright Trinity. She is probably just exhausted. It looks as if she hasn't been getting much sleep."

Trinity nodded and looked at Gemma and said "I think there is more going on than what she is telling us. When Jax swung her up into his arms I noticed a bruise on her back."

Gemma frowned at that and then looked at her husband and said "You need to have the boys check Peyton's back."

Clay lifted an eyebrow at that and said "Why baby? What's going on?"

Gemma shook her head. "I don't know baby but Trinity said it looked as if Peyton had a bruise on her back when Jax lifted her up into his arms. I think we need to check and if she does then we need to check her over completely and see if she has bruises anywhere else."

Clay nodded and said "Okay lets get into the club house and we will let Chibs know. Peyton did look awfully pale so I hope that she is alright."

Gemma smiled and led the way into the club house with her arm still around Trinity's shoulder. She looked over her shoulder and saw that the rest of the Sons were following them in. She smiled as she realized that the Sons already all thought of Peyton as family.

Clay was one of the first ones to the couch besides Jax and Chibs and he looked at both Jax and Chibs and said "One of you two lift her shirt up and check her back. Trinity thinks that she spotted a bruise on Peyton's back when Jax lifted her up into his arms."

Jax's eyes widened but he knelt down beside the couch while Chibs was checking Peyton over and lifted her shirt up and swore when he saw the bruise. "She has a big bruise on her back and it looks as if it could have been made from a fist."

Before anyone could respond Peyton groaned and her eyes fluttered up and she whispered "What happened?"

Jax looked at Chibs and said "Is she alright brother?"

Chibs nodded. "I think she just passed out because of all the stress she has been under."

Peyton slowly moved into a sitting position and she looked around and saw everyone looking at her and she shook her head. "No, I didn't pass out from all the stress I am under. I passed out because I was shocked at hearing Tig call me Blondie. That was what Lucas always called me and to hear someone else call me that unexpectedly it shocked me to no end."

Tig looked at Peyton and rapped out "I am sorry Sweetheart."

Peyton shook her head and gave Tig a slight smile. "You have no reason to be sorry Tiggy. Yes, I am going to call you Tiggy. If you can have a nickname for me then it is only fair that I get to have a nickname for you."

Everyone laughed at that and Tig said "You can call me whatever you want to Sweetheart just don't pass out on us again. You scared us. I am sorry though."

Peyton levered herself off of the couch and then stood still for a second before walking over to Tig and patting him on the shoulder. "Like I said Tig you have no reason to be sorry. You didn't know that calling me Blondie would make me pass out in shock. I'm fine now as you can tell. I didn't mean to scare you all or worry you all though. I don't want to be a bother or a burden to any of you."

Jax stood up and walked over to Peyton as did Gemma, Trinity and Clay and Jax said "Peyton you are not a bother to any of us and you could never be a burden. You are family and we take care of our family. Now little Sis I have a question for you and I would like an honest answer please."

Peyton frowned but nodded. "I wouldn't answer the question any other way other than honestly Jax. What is your question?"

Jax took in a deep breath and then blew it out hard. "You have some big bruises on your back and just from what I could see they looked like that they have been caused by a fist. Has someone hurt you little Sis? You can tell me and everyone in here. We won't think any differently of you and we won't let you get hurt."

Pain swore silently and closed her eyes. She couldn't believe that she had forgotten about the other reason why she had left Tree Hill. Yes, she had needed to get away from Lucas and Brooke for a while but she also needed to get away because she had some how attracted another stalker. She knew that she was going to have to tell Jax no matter how much she had hoped to keep it a secret until she really got to know him. Then again she knew that keeping it a secret wouldn't be the wise thing to do since all the way from Tree Hill to Charming she had felt as if she were being watched and followed.

She took in a deep breath and held it for a few seconds and then let it out as she looked from Jax to Gemma to Trinity to Clay then at the rest of the Sons. "I didn't only leave Tree Hill because I caught my boyfriend and my best friend screwing one another. For a week or so before I caught Lucas and Brooke in bed I started getting phone calls, letters, flowers and gifts from someone that never left their name on any of the things that they left me. A day before I finally decided to come to Charming the person broke into my house at night and tried to attack me sexually. I was able to fight him off but he got in some pretty good punches and when I pulled out the knife I kept by my bed I was able to swing it at him and I cut his arm. I'm not sure how deep or how big the cut was but it was enough to make him run out of my bedroom and out of my house. After he left I called the cops and they came over but after checking for fingerprints and they found some but unfortunately the guy's prints wasn't on file in any database that they checked. The whole way here I felt as if I was being watched and followed. I'll understand if you want me to leave so that I don't bring you all any trouble."

By the time that Peyton had finished talking Jax, Clay, Tig, Opie, Chibs, Happy, Koz, Bobby, Juice, Tig, Piney, Gemma and Trinity all had faces of stone. They were all shocked at what they had just learned. They were all silently vowing to themselves that they would make sure that whoever hurt Peyton would pay if the person had dared to follow her here.

Jax stepped forward and pulled Peyton gently into his arms. "You are not going anywhere little Sis. You will be safe here. I do think though that you should call your friends and let them know so that they can keep an eye on your house for you and see if anything suspicious happens."

Peyton shook her head. "I will send them a text letting them know I arrived okay but I don't want them to worry."

Jax shook his head and held out his hand. "I'll call them myself after we get you settled. Little Sis they have a right to know because they care about you and love you. I understand if you don't want to be the one to call and tell them but they have the right to know."

Peyton sighed but nodded and took her phone out of her pocket and handed it to Jax. "Fine lets get me settled and then I need to lay down because I feel like I'm going to fall asleep standing up. Where am I staying? Oh and when you go to call look for Nathan in my contact list. If he doesn't answer look for Haley."

Jax nodded and said "Well for right now I will show you my dorm room so that you can sleep for a while. When you wake up I will take you to my house which is where you will be staying with Trinty, Abel and me. Is that okay?"

Peyton who was to tired to say anything else just nodded. She felt as if she was emotionally drained which she was. She just wanted to lay down. She gave Jax a smile when he wrapped his arm around her shoulders gently and led her away from everyone and back into the dorm rooms. As soon as she was in his room she toed off her shoes and laid down on the bed and soon she was fast asleep.

Jax, Gemma, Trinity and Clay all smiled as they saw how fast Peyton had fallen asleep. Gemma stepped into the room and pulled the covers up over Peyton and kissed her on the head and then stepped back as Clay stepped in and walked over to the bed and bent down to kiss Peyton's head. After Trinity and Jax both kissed Peyton's head the four of them walked out of the room and Jax made sure that he locked the door so that nobody but him, Trinity or Gemma could get into the room while Peyton was asleep and then they all headed back towards the main room of the club.
