Mandy was right behind me and Opie as we ran out of the elevator at St Thomas hospital.
I didn't really hear what she was saying to calm me down. All I could think was my father was here. Opies exact words were "They were having too much fun and that I shouldn't worry too much since Dad was a tough guy." Fuck you, Opie.
We quickly found the room he was in and I didn't even bother to knock or wait for an OK from a doctor or nurse. Pure anger took over the worry I had before within a second.
There was my father, sitting on the bed, eating green jello, grinning like a mad cat with a few bandages on his face. I could tell he had an evil cut on his forehead. But he didn't seem to mind since he was grinning at the TV where Uncle Jesse just had a cute encounter with little Michelle.
"You also ate your spaghetti with your hands." He said, acknowledging I was in the room.
"You're gonna eat out of a tube once I'm finished with you!" he was clearly confused by my outburst but kept eating his jello.
"What the fuck were you thinking? This is your idea of having fun? Look at you! You look like youve gone through a meat shredder! Gemma is gonna kill you! And where the fuck is Jax? Does he look the same or is he actually in the ER? I swear Dad what the hell is wrong with you? Thanksgiving is next week and the wedding is running towards us! You said you were gonna spread a message, not recreate Fight Club! Spoiler alert the movie doesn't end that good for one of the people!"
"Honey, calm down. This is nothing." He said with his mouth full. I wanted to punch him. So bad…
"Nothing?"
"Sorry, mister Trager, but it looks like someone used your face as a punching bag." Mandy supported me.
"You should see the other guy." My father winked at her making me growl.
"Don't ignore me! What did you do? Start a fight at a bar?"
"Yup."
"What for?"
"So the Mayans could spread the word that the Sons are likely to wander a little bit outside of Charming. Looking for trouble. And the Nordics should stay away."
"I thought the Mayans helped to look for me."
"That was a truce for a good cause. Now it's back to business, Munchkin."
I had to rub the bridge of my nose. Too bad they weren't teaching club business at school.
"Were you practicing?" My father asked and pushed another spoon of jello into his mouth.
"Yes! She's really good and her ideas are amazing. It's too sad she had to threaten me to get onto the squad. I am ready to admit that." Mandy beamed at my father and he chuckled.
"Nice to see you're learning something too in this."
"Hello! We weren't finished with our conversation!" I yelled between them confusing my father even more. "Where the fuck is Jax?"
My dad looked past me to see Opie. "You didn't tell her?"
"Tell me what?"
"I was too scared."
"To tell me what?"
"That wasn't smart Opie."
"God! Fuck! Damn it! What is going on?" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Munchkin. Jax didn't come to the hospital with me."
"Is he home?" I was gonna kill him for not coming to me first when he knew my dad was in here.
"No munchkin. Sadly your little buddie Hale showed up at the bar and Jax took the chance… long story short. He's locked up."
"What?" Mandy and I yelled at once.

JAX's POV
I couldn't count all the times I was locked in this exact cell in Charming's Police department if I tried. Most of the times I was black out drunk. I wish I was now. I really did anticipate my mother coming around the corner any second. Or worse… Harley. I didn't want her to see me like this. But damn it I just couldn't resist.
The fight with the Mayans slowly started to stop when the sirens had arrived at the bar. And many stopped as soon as Hale and a few of his guys came in but I took the chance to 'mistake' him for one of the Mayans and swung my right fist against his nose. God it felt so good to hear the crack. To feel his bone break against my fist.
That was for cuffing my girl wanker.
I must have thought about him one too many times cause he was the one to show up.
"Aint it getting old ending up at this place all the time, Teller."
"I don't know. Cross me a few more times and you can tell me that about the ER. Just one broken bone is kinda lonely don't you think?" I scratched my nose to get my point across. His bandage looked pretty bad and there were bruises forming under his eyes because of the break.
He narrowed his eyes and I could tell he was thinking about a comeback. I got up and leaned against the bars. It probably wasn't the smartest idea but I couldn't help to provoke him more.
"You know fucking well that I'm gonna be out of here within the next hour. Only a matter of minutes."
"I didn't know the club had time to make any money looking for Miss Trager the last few months. I hope the $10,000 bail aint gonna get you guys in debt."
I couldn't help but chuckle. This guy thought he knew all about the Sons. Always had. He knew nothing.
"A body shop is always making money. Cars need to be fixed all the time. Don't know what this has to do with Harley."
"I don't know… All we saw was less and less oil trucks coming through Charming. Just something you kinda catch on to while you are on patrol at night."
"Wouldn't know anything about that, would I. I spend my nights with my girl in bed."
"And yet she hasn't shown up to see you."
"She's at practice. My cheerleader is staying flexible."
I hated to talk about Harley like she was a piece of meat but at the same time it was so good to rub it into Hale's face and to show off with her.
Last night gave me a dangerous confidence boost. She wanted me. And I felt like I could take on anybody. If this was a foretaste of what the rest of my life was gonna feel like then I was gonna be invincible. I just needed to be patient now. She made such a big step towards me last night I didn't wanna ruin it. If I hadn't already.
"Right. Just like your nurse was staying smart right? And look where she is now."
Tara. Low blow. But I wouldn't let him know that.
"Not with you as I can tell. She wasn't such a big deal anyway. More trouble than the fuck was worth. If you would have just said pretty please you could have had her you know."
I knew my arrogant smirk was all over my face and I couldn't help it. He looked at me like he wanted to shoot me right here. His crush on Tara back at school was embarrassing and he hated the fact that she would always end up with me again. He thought he could hurt me but I had more ammo than him.
"Where the fuck is he?" My mother's voice rang through the entire police department. And soon enough her face showed up next to the door.
"What were you thinking? My ass is busy enough with thanksgiving and a wedding coming up. None the less Harley's first game is right around the corner. You could have missed that! I don't have time to run after you and bail you out."
"You know what this was about Ma." I hated that she had to lecture me right in front of Hale after I had the upper hand on him.
"I know. At least you were smart enough to cover your face unlike that other idiot. You two just had to give her a heart attack. Everybody else was able to stay under the radar but not the two of you. Beavis and Butt-head on a big mission."
"Is she okay?" The small hope of Harley not knowing where I was had vanished. Of course somehow she would find out, but I was hoping to be able to tell her myself. To take the fear of prison calls from her. By now the reaper should have been on one of these walls since every month some of us had a good night's sleep in here.
"Her father is in a hospital and her man is in jail. She is terrific." I couldn't help but smile when my mother called me Harley's man. Focus Teller.
"Then get me out of here so I can calm her down."
My mother turned to Hale like she just realized he had been standing here all this time.
"Privacy. Look it up wanna be chief."
"Always a pleasure." And he actually left the room.
"I rushed here to see if you were okay. I don't have the money with me now but seeing as you are perfectly fine I don't see why you shouldn't stay a little longer."
"What the fuck? Ma! Get me out now."
"Is this how you plan on winning Harley back? By locking yourself up. To be the worst version of yourself?"
"I did it for her."
"You did it because you hate that dude."
"He locked her up and treated her like a criminal when all she did was defend herself. I saw a chance and took it."
"You were supposed to spread a message. And this is mine now. I'll be back." and she put on her sunglasses to turn around and actually leave me here.

HARLEYS POV
Dad was welcomed like a hero at the clubhouse. Of course. Everybody was clapping and cheering for him.
"So this is how they welcome the injured. That's nice." Mandy and I followed my father into the clubhouse. Surprisingly she didn't want to go home as soon as possible after this chaotic morning. And even more surprisingly she didn't mind going to the club house with us.
"Wait until the locked up shows up. They are preparing the parade already."
"He aint getting out so quick. Mama Gemma is mad at him for causing so much trouble. He's staying for another few hours. Happy showed up and I could tell he thought the news was hilarious.
"Hot." I stared at Mandy in disbelief. Who was this girl? And why did we hate each other before?
"Hey. Gemma showed up behind us like a ghost scaring us to death. She eyed Mandy up and down then looked at me.
"Cool?"
"Cool." then she looked at Mandy
"Staying?"
Mandy was totally freaked out by my godmother. She looked at me and I just shrugged my shoulders.
"Yes…ma'am." She quickly answered when Gemma rose an eyebrow.
"Call me ma'am one more time and you are out. Underage drinking not before…." and she gave Mandy the same lecture that I got on my very first day. Guess I had a real friend now according to the club.
"You can make yourself useful and get to know everyone. I lost count thanks to their stunt. Please list me everyone that is here already. Make a list if you can't remember them all."
I looked into the clubhouse. "Hold on."
"Yes you heard right. Introduce yourself and take their names. Show yourself. And hold her close or she might get eaten by an old lady." She pushed Mandy into me and I quickly held her.
"Come." I told her and held onto her as strong as I could. We pushed through the main hall which was full of people by now. What was Gemma thinking? There were over 50 people already? And there were more to come?
We finally arrived at Jax room. I thought pulling Mandy into Dad's would just bring back bad memories.
"Well well… The stories were much worse I gotta tell you." Mandy started once I closed the door behind us. She dropped her bag and looked around.
"It has never been this full before. I mean on a party night sure, but during daylight… never."
"Is that you?" Mandy found the wall with the pictures and was there with two big steps to look closer at the photo strips. When had he hung up those? I wondered what had happened to those.
"Hot Harley. Think that Juice guy will take me to fun town sometime?"
"I thought you just wanted to annoy your Dad. Not date."
Mandy shrugged her shoulders and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Does she really need all those names or is she trying to keep you busy."
"Second. She is the Queen of SAMCRO. Nobody she doesn't know gets to walk in here."
"Woman of power. Kinda cool. Scary but cool."
I couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you so cool with all of this now? A few days ago you hated my guts and all of this. Now you want to jump on one of my friends here and think it's hot that one of them is in jail right now."
She looked at me and then around to let out a deep breath. "I don't know okay? How do you admit you were a hypocrite? You saw my dad…. for a second. I was told these guys are such bad news. So was like half of our squad. I am sorry for giving you a hard time. Now stop making me apologize or I might throw up on your hotties bed."
"Bitch." I couldn't help but laugh. "But what about Nerd…Angela." I quickly stopped myself before I finished the nickname. "You know her longer."
"High and mighty Angela? Never wrong Angela? 'You are such sluts for cheering on some guys' Angela?" Mandy was pretty good at imitating her voice.
"Got it."
"She started acting up just when you showed up. It had nothing to do with not being able to get to you. We were sick of her speaking down to us when she has every reason to be humble."
"She didn't choose her moms job." I tried to defend her.
"But she chose the way she spoke to us when nobody is watching."
She had a point there. I myself saw her playing Jekyll and Hyde with me.
"True. Let's just be the bigger people and leave her be. She will get bored eventually."
"Only because it is part of our deal. I don't want another gun in my face."
"Then I don't recommend going out anytime soon. Or trying to get close to Juice." I couldn't help but laugh. This girl was gonna get the surprise of her life if she actually tried to pursue anything with our tech head.
"Okay, I don't want you with a gun near me again. You aint mentally stable."
I couldn't help but throw one of Jax's pillowS at her. It hit her right in her face but she quickly recovered to throw it back at me making both of us laugh.
"Two cheerleaders having a pillow fight in his room. He is so gonna freak out about it."
Opie had appeared out of the blue as the door stood wide open. He already was on his first beer.
"Gemma sent me. She meant whatever she told you seriously."
Mandy and I rolled our eyes and I grabbed some paper and a pen from Jax's room and we started to get to know everyone.

JAX's POV
"This is a huge exception young lady." I heard Unser say as he opened the door to let someone in. I quickly rose from the bench as Harley walked around the corner. It was way too late for her to be walking around on her own.
"Thanks, Unser." He left and Harley got closer to the bars.
"Hey. I just wanted to … see how you are doing I guess."
"The food could be better. What are you doing here so late?"
"I would have come sooner but Gemma made Mandy and I get to know every single club member. I don't remember any names. She's really letting you stay another night."
"Or she shows up at 3 in the morning. You never know with her."
I could tell Harley didn't know what to do with herself. The last time she was here she was questioned for attempted murder. And the last time we were alone I pushed her away. Almost rejected her. I hadn't expected her to show up anymore by now.
"Hey…" I said and reached my hand out through the bars. She took it in such a shy way I wanted to squeeze through and comfort her. "It's just a room. Nothing to worry about. It doesn't mean shit to us."
"Still weird. Seeing you behind bars. I know you all have been here according to the wall but… weird."
I just wanted to hold her. The feeling was so overwhelming I couldn't help but pull her closer until my free hand could hold onto her on her hip. She didn't hesitate for one second.
"What got you here in the first place? You don't look as damaged as Dad."
"Cause I knew my mother would have my balls if the best man ruined the wedding pictures. I accidentally broke Hale's nose."
She rose her eyebrow. "Accidentally?"
"My word against another." I leaned my forehead against one of the bars and looked down on her while she started to smirk at me. Gosh I needed to get out of here so bad. Why did I push her away last night? All my rational thoughts vanished with one look into her steel blue eyes.
"So you won't get to bring me to school tomorrow morning hm?"
"I highly doubt it."
"Are you even able to really sleep in here?"
"One manages. Not much to keep you awake here anyway."
I didn't know if she intended to drive me insane but she just so slightly bit her lip and that made all my blood rush downstairs. I couldn't help but let go of her hand to reach for her neck and pull her towards the bars.
As our lips touched my other hand quickly found her ass like it's where it belonged. One of her hands found my chest and the other my arm to hold onto. I didn't know that making out through prison bars was a thing but hell was I glad we found it.
Almost made up for my stupid ass pushing her away. I couldn't wait to get out of here.
"That's not what I meant with no touching." Unser's voice made her pull away as quick as possible. Fuck that old man. I would have figured out a way of loving this girl through bars any second by now since my horniness was going into overdrive but no… no fun with Unser around.
"Sorry."
"I think it's time to go anyway. I'll drive you home."
At least the old man was thinking ahead. I would go crazy not knowing if she made it home safe. Tig must really be out of it if he couldn't be around her now. And she probably sneaked off as well.
"Thanks. Mandy drove me here so that would be a huge help."
The old man nodded. "One minute." and walked off.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."
"I can't wait for it." Even I could hear that my voice was thick with arousal and she didn't make it better by biting her lip again.
"Good night." Harley turned around to leave without realizing that the image of her behind was burning into my brain.
Right. Like I was able to sleep now.

There you go guys. Some prison action. But is it as simple as it seems? Probably not!
I know it might seem to move a little slow but a massive turn is ahead of us! So bare with me!
Tell me what you think!
All love
