Chapter 4
It was quite the scene in the St. Thomas E.R. waiting room. From an outsider's view they would see a grieving father too upset that he was at a loss for words. A group of bikers with only one woman among them. "Family of Karen Kellan?" A Dr. walked into the waiting room. All the men stood up. "I am her father." Collin said coming forward past the group of bikers. "Mr. Kellan if you will follow me over here I will brief you on your daughter's condition in privacy." The Dr. stated going to walk out of the room. "No Dr... you can tell me here. This young man saved my daughter. He has every right to hear about her as well." Collin said nodding towards Jax. "Ok, well it could definitely be seen that the attacker tried to rape Ms. Kellan, fortunately that did not happen. We had to give her stitches on her left cheek. He unfortunately did a get a good beating on her. I would like to keep her the next couple days for observation." The Dr. summed up Karen's injuries. "Thank you, Dr... However long you feel is right and is how long she will stay. When can I see her?" Collin asked. He was in desperate need to see his daughter. "She should be waking up soon. We only ask that 2 visitors at a time go in the room." The Dr. said and walked away.
"Jax, can I speak to you for a moment?" Collin asked looking at the blonde biker. "Yes sir." Jax said and the two started walking down the hallway. "I wanted to tell you thank you for saving my little girl. I know if it hadn't been for you that she may not be alive right now." Collin stated bluntly. Jax could hear Collins voice choking. "You're very welcome. Once I had heard about what was happening I left immediately to find Karen because I had last seen her when I dropped movies off." Jax stated. "Well I am sorry if I have been biased with the rumors I had heard about you when we first moved into town. I just want to let you know that I think you a fine friend for Karen to have and that you are welcome to our home at any time." Jax was shocked by the words he had just heard come out of Karen's father's mouth. "Well thank you sir…I am used to it and I appreciate your honesty." Jax stated. They walked back towards to waiting room to finish their wait.
Karen started stirring in her bed. She wanted to jump up and run. "LET GO OF ME!" She screamed. She didn't know where she was or what was going on. Nurses rushed into the room telling her to calm down and of course holding her down. "I WANT MY DAD! GET OFF OF ME!" She continued to scream in her frightened state she pushed a male nurse across the length of the room and out the door. "Karen calm down. I am here." She heard her father's voice. She calmed down immediately. The nurses left the two in her room. Her father rocked her and updated her on everything that was going on.
"Tara, babe listen…I will be over soon…I am at the hospital…I am ok…no I am visiting that girl I saved last night…yes the one from the video store….no you don't need to come here…just get home safe. Love you too darlin'" Jax stated hanging up his cell. Tara had been calling his cell all day. Karen's attack made the news and made everyone conscious of what was going on in Charming. Tara wanted Jax with her at all times. Jax had no fears about Tara. She knew how to take care of herself and everyone in town knew she was his old lady. He had nothing to worry about with her. He walked back into the hospital hoping that he would get to see Karen. All the other guys had left except for Chibbs. He was Jax's back up for today. "So Laddie I have been thinking. You said that this Karen got some good punches in on the attacker right?" Chibb's asked Jax. "Yeah I could see where she busted him up. What are you thinking?" Jax asked. At this time Chibbs when into explanation of his idea.
Karen sat in her hospital room bored. She had just sent her father home for some necessities she needed. He had explained everything that had happened to her. Karen was grateful that her attacker hadn't done anymore than beat her. She didn't want to lose her virginity that way. Now that she knew that this was going on. She wanted to pass words of awareness and wanted everyone to be able to protect themselves. She was not going to be silent because of what happened to her. She was just glad that Jax had come back and saved her.
Speaking of the devil Jax walked into her room. "Hey darlin'" He said handing her a bouquet of flowers. "Hi Jax. Thank you for coming back and saving me. If it hadn't been for you I probably would have laid there for hours." Karen said smiling at him. She really was grateful that he had come to her rescue. "Not a problem darlin'. I just wish I would have walked you home in the first place." Jax said. He helped himself by sitting on the edge of her bed. He filled her in on the conversation that he had with her father and his brother Chibbs. "Wow. You were the reason why my father wouldn't let me doing anything else but school or work." Karen laughed. Jax chuckled with her. He loved hearing her laugh. He knew that what happened to Karen was going to bring them together and it was going to be a close bond. He already knew he had feelings developing for her. "So when you get out I need you to come by the clubhouse. My friend Chibbs wants to teach you a few things." Jax said. Karen nodded. Chibbs had the idea that he would teach Karen how to fight and protect herself so that if anyone ever messed with her again she could just take them down. "Ok I just have to let my dad know."Karen said agreeing to it. She knew her father would agree as well.
Jax and Karen sat and talked for another hour. Tara had called and texted Jax's phone about 30 times. "Well I have to go. Girlfriend is getting a little jealous." He said grinning. "Oh ok. Well let her know that she has nothing to worry about. I know you have a girlfriend and even though I think you are sexy. I am not the type to come in-between a couple." Karen said smiling. "Oh darlin' it's not you she's worried about." Jax chuckled and gave Karen a wink. Before she could respond Jax leaned over and kissed her dead on the lips. The electricity Karen could feel was undescribable. The only thing she could do was smile as she watched him walk of her room. "Damn" She whispered bringing her hand up to her lips.
