Thank you for taking the time to read my story! I didn't look over this chapter because I wanted to get another update out there so I'm sorry if there is a lot of errors. Also if it's hard to read at times I apologize for that too but I write this from my iPhone instead of a computer like I'd prefer to. But again thanks for reading!

I'm almost positive I took too many shots of Jack Daniels, Jose Cuervo, and Grey Goose because I was seeing doubles. I couldn't even remember how I went from dancing to on the back of Jax's bike, clinging on to him so I wouldn't fall off in my drunken stupor. If the alcohol wasn't intoxicating enough the wind ripping through my hair and the smell of Jax just fueled it more. It wasn't long before Jax cut the engine off in front of my house and he got off the bike to help me off, at first I pushed his hand away, "Hey misterrrr! I can walk just fine!" As I tried to get off the bike I stumbled to gain balance and probably looked like a baby deer trying to walk for the first time. Jax just stood back and chuckled, "Whatever you say babe." I probably could have managed by myself but damn those steps leading onto the porch! If not for Jax I surely would have busted my ass, "Here darlin' let me help you before you give yourself a busted lip" he then picked me up and tossed me over his shoulder, I seriously thought I was gonna hurl on this man. "Jax! I think I'm gonna-" I covered my mouth trying to keep the embarrassment in and knowing what was about to happen Jax quickly rushed me over to the kitchen sink and set me down in front of it. I held on to the edge of the sink and just let it out, it wasn't exactly how I pictured being with Jax again but this wasn't the first time he has seen me not hold my liquor. Jax swept my hair back and gently caressed my back, "well shit, doesn't this bring back some ol' memories.. You never did know when to quit while you were ahead" he laughed at my misery as I rolled my drunken eyes. As soon as I felt like it was safe, I let go of the sink and turned to Jax. He was clearly trying to hold back laughter from fear I'd probably pop him. "Come on beautiful" he said as he picked me up bridal style and carried me to my room.

He pushed the door open with his boot and laid me down on my bed. I tried to keep my eyes open as I watched him undress me, in any other situation I would have protested but I was wasted and did not give a fuck! He started pulling my boots off, then slowly unbuttoned my jeans and tugged them off. He then helped me sit up to unzip my vest off, I was left in only my bra and panties. He sat back and his eyes travelled up and down my hardly clothed body before saying, "you're still sexy as ever, Harley." Then he took his own shirt off giving me the chance to really see his chiseled, hard body and very defined V. It had been a long time since I had been aroused by a man, not since Jax. It was as though my body was an instrument specifically made for him and he knew exactly how to play me. My body tensed as Jax got closer, I thought he was gonna press his body against mine but instead he shoved his shirt over my head and helped me dress in it. He got off the bed and gave me one more look, "I'll check on you tomorrow... Maybe bring some Tylenol over too" he smiled. The thought of Jax leaving was unfathomable, to be this close to him again and just let him walk out. I stuck my lip out in an attempted pout and batted my eyes at him, "Stay Jax.." I patted the bed, "please don't go, sleep with me like old times.. I don't wanna be alone in this house right now." For a second I thought he was still going to leave but he nodded his head and said, "I could never tell you no so I guess I won't be starting tonight." He climbed in bed with me and propped his head up with his arm behind his head, "you know Harley, I still love you, I don't think I'll ever stop. I don't know what you're doing to me but you're stirring up parts in me I forgot I had." He never looked at me but he kept going, "I told myself I hated your fuckin' guts but I knew deep down I was a lying sack of shit. I can't hate you Harley. I forgive you." I tried hard to think of what I should say to him but my mind was spinning from still being intoxicated and I couldn't fight sleep anymore so I gave into it with Jax being the last thing I saw.

I awoke in the afternoon with sunlight blasting through the sheer curtains. "Ugggghhhh" I pulled the covers over my pounding head.. I was never drinking again! Remembering last night I jumped up in bed realizing Jax had spent the night with me but he was no longer there. Eventually I forced myself out of bed and to shower the bar stench off of me. I dressed back in Jax's black SAMCRO shirt and a pair of shorts, I wasn't quite ready to part with his scent. I went downstairs and wasn't exactly sure what to do with the rest of the day, normally I'd be working and making my rounds in the hospital but I hadn't applied for the position at St. Thomas hospital in Charming yet. So I decided to rest the rest of the hangover off and when my head stopped pounding go grocery shopping, I couldn't live off the beer and TV dinners my dad had stocked in the refrigerator.

I walked inside the small market intent on getting just enough food to last a week. When I felt satisfied I had enough to hold me over I made my way to the front to pay and in Charming it's not hard to run into people you'd prefer not to see. In front of me trying buy a pack of cigarettes was Wendy herself, or now known formerly as Wendy Teller and that made me grit my teeth. I wasn't going to fake nice and even tell her a simple hello, so I patiently waited for her to be done. When she finally noticed me behind her she seemed kind of dumbfounded at first and then collected herself to give me a dirty look as she left. I tried to remain calm while I paid for my groceries but seeing that woman brought out the worse in me. I hated her! Knowing her lips and body were once on Jax made my blood boil. I loaded my bags in the cart and began to leave, as soon as I exited there she was, waiting for me. She exhaled a cloud a smoking before saying, "ain't it nice to see the little SAMCRO princess back in Charming" she sneered at me.

"And isn't it nice to see you haven't changed at all Wendy." I pointed out to her since she had always hung around places, smoking, and looking for some dude to take her home. She smirked at me and replied, "not really but I did change my name." My knuckles turned white gripping the cart trying to hold my overflowing rage, the old me would have tore her face off and wipe the concrete with it but no hospital would take me seriously if I was still the old me so I gritted my teeth and made this a verbal war, "you may have married Jax and got to say you were Mrs. Teller for a brief moment but look where you are Wendy.. You had his bed for awhile and I'll always have that mans heart" and with that I walked away from her from fear I'd go psycho on her but I had a feeling it wouldn't be my last encounter with that filth.

I got home and poured myself a glass of wine to chill out from my run in with Wendy and decided I could channel this anger into productiveness and clean the house. My father didn't believe in doing a women's work so I could only imagine the last time the place was dusted or mopped. You'd think with being the VP of the gang he could easily have someone do this work for him but my father did not like anyone inside of his house unless it was family or business. So I turned on the radio and began to work while dancing to the music..

'Hey you're a crazy bitch but you fuck so good I'm on top of it. When I dream, I'm doing you all night. Scratches all down my back to keep me right on'

I was feeling the music and getting really into dancing when I heard clapping from behind, I jumped and spun around. Jax was leaning against the front door, watching me and beaming from ear to ear, "damn you think you can do that little number on me, sweetheart?" I picked a shoe up and chunked it at him, he held his hands out defensively, "Ow! It isn't my fault you left the door open.. Better be glad it was just this perv and not the one down the road." I glared at him still made he snuck up on me, "you still could have knocked instead of watching me make a fool of myself" he nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and sat down at the table, "sorry I didn't come by earlier to bring you some Tylenol but I had club business" I was intrigued by what club business was going on but I didn't ask because I knew it probably wasn't my business anymore. "Yeah Tylenol would have been greatly appreciated today especially after running into your ex..." I added. Jax looked up at me surprised, "you saw Wendy?" He asked. "I ran into her at the store, she wasn't very happy to see me." He let out a frustrated sigh knowing it was a topic that would eventually be brought up. "I probably could have picked someone better to fill the void you left but alcohol and drugs don't make great decisions" I took a sip out of my wine before replying, "tell me about it, of all the dirty sluts in this town you married the one I hate the most.. I still can't believe you got married." He looked at me before asking, "so did you have in boyfriend while you were in college?" That was a question I wasn't expecting, "I had a few but nothing serious.. It got lonely there but none came close to you." His jaws tensed probably thinking of the men I had been with. Jax was a very territorial and jealous man, it was definitely one of the sexy things about him. "So where do we go from here Harley?" He asked. I didn't know exactly what he was asking me, did he want to work on a friendship or pick up where we left? "I don't know Jax, you tell me." He stood up from where he was sitting and came closer, pushing me further into the edge of the counter, "I'd like you to be mine again, hell you've always been mine no matter what zip code you're in but I want everyone to know you belong to me again.." And with that he kissed me for the the first time in a long time and my inside melted. The feel of his lips against mine had awaken some part in me that had been asleep for a very long time, was it happiness? I don't know but I could have lived in this moment forever with Jax kissing me and his hands on my hips but it was interrupted by buzzing in Jax's pocket. Jax pulled away quite frustrated, "for fuck sakes! Can't they do anything without me!" He answered the phone with an angry "yeah what's up" but apparently what ever it was was important because he nodded and told them he would be right there. "Sorry babe but I gotta go.. I'll be back when I can." He kissed me one more time before he was out the door and leaving me wanting more of him.

I shook the feeling of Jax of me and decided it was time to work on my resume so I could submit it to the hospital next week. I was almost done with it when my phone started to ring, it was an unsaved number so I didn't know who was calling. "Hello?" and on the other end came Donna's voice. "Hey! I thought maybe I could get you all to myself tonight and we could go out for a couple beers.. I really enjoyed seeing you last night." Since I still wasn't use to being in the house by myself I took the opportunity to get out, "Sure! Just no more liquor for me, my body still hates me for last night." She agreed with a laugh and told me where to meet her. I dressed casually in a dark maroon v neck shirt and jeans then hopped in the mustang to the little bar Donna wanted to meet at.

Donna was waiting outside the door when I parked and waved me over. She greeted me with a hug, "I'm glad you could come out tonight, Opie has the kids and actually let me out for the night." I followed her to the bar where we ordered a couple of beers and began chatting, "so what's your plans now that your back in Charming?" She questioned, "well I was actually working on my resume when you called, I plan to apply for the position at the hospital.. I can't wait to get back to work. I miss the craziness of a hospital." She took a drink of her beer, "I still can't believe your actually a doctor now.. I guess I still remember you as that quick tempered girl ready for a fight no matter where you went." I laughed, "yeah we did get into a lot of trouble back then.. Many drunk nights we tucked each other in when the boys were away." She smiled remembering the crazy times we use to have. "So there has been a lot of talk at the clubhouse about you and Jax." She eyed me questionably, "really?" I asked, "yeah the guys see the change in Jax and every time he is missing from the clubhouse he is with you.. So what's up?" This time I took a drink of my beer, "he wants to give it another shot and I do too." Donna's face lit up, "that's awesome! I'm so happy for you and for Jax, it's been a long time coming. He has been needing you more then I think he knew." I simple replied with, "I think I'm realizing I needed him more." We sat and talked for a little bit more before Donna had to go back to relieve Opie.

I stayed at the bar a few minutes after Donna left to finish my beer and pay my tab. The old man behind the bar took my empty bottle and said to me, "be careful when you leave." I smiled and thanked him because at the time I didn't think to much of what he said and assumed it was just out of politeness. I walked to my car to unlock the door when I heard a man approach me from behind, "hey there sexy, you wanna come home me?" I could smell the alcohol on his breath and could tell he was very intoxicated. I pushed him off me but that didn't stop him from coming onto me, "come on hun, don't be like that.. I'll be gentle I promise." Completely disgusted by this man I attempted to shove him harder this time, "get the fuck away from me!" He still advanced and even began trying to put his arms around me, "playing hard to get.. I like that." He licked his lips out of lust. I struggled against his weight onto of me pinning me against him and my car. "You fuckin' drunk! Get your hands off of me!" I freed my hand from under him and swung at him, I made contact with his jaw but it only stunned him for a second before he was back on me with a new found rage. "You fuckin' cunt! If you'd just stop fighting it this will be over before you know it.." He had a hold of my wrist and began kissing my neck, my body was repulsed this man touch I felt like I was going to vomit. I struggled hard against this man but I was no match to push him off, I dreaded the thought of what was going to happen if I couldn't get free from this pervert. Before I knew it someone had grabbed the man and yanked him off me. It was Jax and he looked murderous. Jax landed a hard punch to the mans nose and blood spurted out instantly, but Jax was not done. He continued to beat this man near unconsciousness before pulling him up by his shirt and yelling in his face, "what the fuck do you think you were doing?! I should crush your fucking head into this concrete right now!" Jax then threw the bloodied and very badly beaten man to the ground and began to repeatedly kick him in the stomach and ribs. I just stood and watched but came to my senses to stop Jax before he really did kill this man, I grabbed Jax by the arm and tried to pull him away. Jax stopped long enough to look at me, if I was any other woman I would have been scared of the crazed man in front of me but I remembered this Jax all to well. "Come on baby, that's enough.. I just wanna go home.. Take me home please." I pleaded with him, I could tell Jax didn't want to be finished but he reluctantly drew back from the man withering in pain but not before spitting on him in disgusted. Jax grabbed me close to him and helped me in the passenger side before hopping in the drivers side of the mustang and peeling out if the parking lot.

We drove in silence, you could feel the tension seeping out of Jax. I could tell he was still pissed off by the way he drove and gripped the steering wheel with a death grip. I decided to break the tension and talk, "how did you know where I was?" Jax sat in silence for another few seconds before giving me a sideways glance and speaking, "the old man that runs that joint has close ties with us so he called me up and informed me he sensed troubled." After Jax told me that it all made sense of the old mans warning. When we got back to the house Jax stayed glued to my side even though we both knew there was no more danger around. It felt nice having his protection around me again. That night Jax slept with his arms tightly around me and I laid there thinking to myself how much I had missed this and questioning myself to why I ever left? I could have already been married to Jax, maybe even had a couple of children by now but I knew deep down I did the right thing and now, maybe just maybe I could become Dr. Harley Teller. I smiled at the thought. I fell asleep with the warmth of Jax behind me and his intoxicating scent. That night I felt whole again...
