Jax POV:

I walked away from Savannah towards the bar and had the prospect get me two beers. I could already see half the crowed gravitating towards her, naturally everyone loves her. Even though she always fought living this life she still managed to fit it without even trying. She was one of us weather she likes it or not. I always wished she stayed behind, after she left we were all left empty. I fought with Clay countless times over the years to go to Orange County and drag her ass home mostly for myself but for her parents too I could see they missed her. Clay never let me, he knew that if they pushed her even more they would not get so much as a phone call from her much less get her to come back home. Savannah never came to visit and never gave her parents the opportunity to go to her. It hurt them but they knew she needed space from Charming and from all of the people that loved her including me. After two years I decided I needed to move on clearly she didn't feel the same about me and that's when I married Wendy that was the biggest mistake of my life.

"Prospect where the fuck are my beers!" I yell in annoyance

"Right here man sorry…" I grab the beers with a dissatisfied look and head back to Savannah.

"Here you go darlin, still you're favourite?" I ask referring to the beer.

"Ya its good thanks." She smiles… man that smile.

Savannah takes a large gulp of her beer and swallows savouring the flavour.

"Easy there killer, fuck I forgot how much you love a party."

"O c'mon I wasn't that bad." I choke out a laugh

"Sav, you used to call me every Friday and Saturday night after your little high school parties to come pick you up. You probably don't remember cuz you were too drunk or high to know which way was up much less find a ride home." I say knowing it's true.

"I did do that huh? Sorry for ruining your weekends, but just so you know I'm different now I can hold my liquor."

"Ya right I'll believe that when I see it." I tell her with a grin

"Do I hear a bet coming on." She brings her hand to cup her ear as if to try and hear something. I laugh at her action and a small crowd of Bobbie, Tig, Juice and crow eaters gather around us.

"Yeah right not going to happen." I say sternly

"You scared of some competition Teller?"

"No not from you."

"Then what's stopping you?"

"Well for one your dad will kill me if I get you wasted on your first night back. Two I would feel bad for the prospect to have to clean another person's barf. And Three I don't have to prove anything I could take you any day." I grin at her determination.

"We'll just have to see about that won't we?"

"You're on."

After almost two hours of constant drinking and shots, as I thought Savannah is completely wasted. But Clay is not as pissed as I thought. Instead he's happy his daughter is home and she's enjoying her almost families company. After another couple of hours of Savannah letting loose dancing with everyone and getting high she is a hot mess, a really hot mess. Everyone has either left or passed out but I couldn't bring myself to leave her. We along with Clay are the only ones left but he looks like he could go any second.

"Jax?" Clay calls out for me.

"Yeah?"

"Can you do me a favor and take Savvy home I'm way too fucked to be driving."

"What I don't wanna go home." Savannah whines from the barstool she plopped on top of.

"Savvy you need to go home there is no way you're sleeping here. (Clay says protectively) fuck Gemma has my keys."

"Yay so can I stay?" She brings a sloppy smile to her lips as a laugh at her quietly.

"No, Jax can she stay at your place? Or were you planning on fucki..." I cut him off.

"Naw man it's cool she can stay with me." I answer a little too eager.

"Thanks brother… no funny business with my daughter you understand?" he points his finger in front of me.

"Of course not look at her." We laugh at Savannah drunkenly staring up at the ceiling and smiling.

"Alright… Savvy Jax is going to let you stay at his place. See you tomorrow and drink some water you smell like a beer bottle." He hugs her and heads off to the dorm rooms.

"C'mon Sav let's get you to your car." I say helping her up and outside over to her car, fully aware of what could happen if I try and put this smashed out her mind girl on a motorcycle right now. I grab her keys out of her purse and begin the short drive to my house.

"Sav were here, C'mon don't fall asleep yet you made it this long a few more steps then you can sleep." I tell her realising she is beyond walking. I pick her up bride style and manage to unlock the door and carry her to the couch without waking her. I place her on the couch and cover her with a blanket before sitting beside her and just admiring her beautiful face. I tuck her hair in front of her face behind her ear before her eyes flutter open and are looking into mine.

"Sorry I woke you." I say

"It's okay… I missed you." She tells me and it brings me back years ago when I wish should call me out of the blue and say those exact words.

"I missed you too."

"Why didn't you ever call?" she asks me her eyes begin watering. I never thought I would hear those words.

"I didn't know you wanted to talk to me. I… I thought you wanted me to stay away and that's why you left." I never really thought about it before why didn't I call her? She giggles I look back down to her face before she speaks again.

"Silly, of course I wanted you to call." And before I know it she wraps her arms around my neck and pulls me until my lips are attached to hers. I forgot how good this felt. I want to keep kissing her and never let her out of my arms until I remember how drunk she is. I pull away with any amount of willpower I can find until we are separated.

"You don't want me?" she says hurt in her blue eyes.

"Not like this Sav you're drunk." I gently say to her. She turns over so her face is towards the back of the couch and then speaks into the cushions.

"Fine… leave me alone I'm tired."

I huff and head to my bedroom to undress before getting into my bed. Wow I did not think this day was going to turn out like this. And I really didn't think that conversation was going to end like that. I hope she remembers in the morning but even if she does I doubt she will admit to it. So I guess were back at square one.

"Fuck." I say to myself before letting sleep overcome me.
