A/N: On to the next chapter! Thank you all for your feedback and for answering my question in the last chapter, and stay tuned because I may have more questions in the future. So I had already thought about writing this chapter, and Emmettluver2010 also suggested a T.O. chapter, so here you go! The next chapter after this will be Jax's, and then we'll start with the non-SAMCRO members! As always, please read and review and let me know what you think!

Evie had been just as surprised as anyone else the night Jax announced that the former president of the Grim Bastards MC had been patched in as a SAMCRO member. But that meant a party and it had been awhile since one had taken place, so no one complained. And of course, Jax was keen to make sure T.O. had a good time, which Evie knew was the reason the two men were making their way across the room towards her. Everyone knew by now that she was the unofficial "head croweater", and it also known that she was the one selected when Jax was trying to impress someone.

Her encounter with T.O. brought back very vivid memories of being with Opie, because she had suffered a horrible case of sore vagina after the former Grim Bastards President attempted to break her in half. She was sure that she was going to have bruises on her thighs where he'd held her tight to keep her head from bashing into the headboard, and her jaw ached from gritting her teeth to keep from screaming. Jesus Christ, this man was intent on permanently spreading her hips wider apart. But just as she always had, she kept her thoughts to herself, instead smirking and meeting his lips when he leaned in to kiss her.

By the time he finished, she felt as if someone had just run over her with a truck, her back aching horrendously. It took her a good few minutes before she could even get up, T.O. watching her with a smirk as he got dressed. He seemed amused to see her slowly moving around, and Evie supposed he was used to women who were used to rough sex.

"I see why you're the favorite now." His praise made Evie smirk, and she looked over at him as she got up off the bed and began to search for her clothes. She knew she was the favorite too. But even after all this time, it was still nice when the guys complimented her.

"I do what I can, I guess redheads just do it better." Managing to get her clothes on, she straightened up and gave her body a few minutes to adjust, knowing already she was going to be sore in the morning.

Once she got dressed, T.O. made his way over to take her by the hand. "C'mon, I'll get you a stiff drink to beat that soreness." He laughed at his own joke, Evie allowing him to lead her out of the room. Fuck, she was going to need half a bottle of whiskey and some pain pills to help this ache.

They were on their way to the bar when Jax stopped them, a knowing smile on his face as he looked between the two of them before addressing T.O. "Enjoying your party, man?"

T.O. nodded, giving Evie a glance before turning back to Jax. "Best night of my life."

Laughing, Jax clapped T.O. on the back. "That's good, brother, that's what I wanted to hear." His gaze then turned to Evie, and he gestured to the bar. "Hey, T.O. give me a minute with Red?"

"Just remember she's with me tonight, brother!" T.O. headed off to the bar with a laugh, Jax taking Evie's hand and pulling her over to a quieter corner of the room. She waited patiently for what he had to say, thinking he was most likely going to take her in one of the dorms. Jesus, she couldn't take much more tonight. Maybe he'd just be satisfied with a blowjob instead of sex.

Jax was quiet for a moment, but then he looked up at her with the sweetest smile she'd ever seen, Evie instantly realizing this wasn't about sex. "Thanks for taking care of T.O., Red. I can always count on you to get the job done." She could tell he was being sincere, and it made her stomach get butterflies. Even after all this time, Jax was still able to make her heart skip a beat.

Evie gave him a winning smile of her own, brushing her hair back from her face. "No problem, Jax, I'm always happy to help." For a minute it seemed he was going to say something else, and then to her surprise, the SAMCRO President closed the gap between them to hug her. It took her a moment to recover, but she put her arms around him and hugged him back. "Are you alright, Jax?"

It took him a moment to answer her, but finally he spoke into her ear. "I'm gonna miss you, Evie." His words shocked her, and she pulled back to look at him.

"Where are you going?" Were those tears in the corners of his eyes? She searched his face for answers, Jax finally cracking a smile that looked to Evie like he was hiding something.

"Just a little vacation, that's all. All this President work gets a little tiring sometimes." He tried to laugh and make it seem like a joke, but she could tell something was bothering him. However, in the interest of not spoiling the party, she chose to let it go for the time being. She could always ask him about it later.

"Well I hope you have fun then. Send us a postcard while you're gone!" Her joke made him laugh, and she couldn't help but laugh too.

"I'll send you one everyday, Red. Now get back to T.O. before he rethinks his decision to join this club!" With that killer smirk of his, Jax winked as she turned and headed for the bar, where T.O. was waiting with a drink in his hand.

God, if only she'd known that would be the last night she'd ever see Jax alive. If only she'd known that "vacation" meant running head-on into a semi truck at 75 miles an hour. That party, T.O.'s patch-in party, was the last one that the club had thrown since Jax's death. They all still talked about it, which Evie supposed was to try and remember Jax the way he was. And T.O. had been good for the club so far, probably due to all his leadership experience. So much had changed since that night, sometimes it was hard to remember what those fun times felt like.
