On with the show…

Chapter 6

Danni woke up to the sun streaming through a gap in her curtains resting directly on her face. Groaning she rolled over to see Greg still asleep facing away from her. They never did cuddle or anything while they slept but she supposed everyone had their own sleeping habits she just wished he'd let her sleep with her head on his chest every once in a while. Sighing she climbed out of the bed and grabbed a denim skirt (Skirt on profile page) and a red spaghetti strapped top with red matching bar and panties before going to the bathroom for a shower.

Once she was showered and changed she dried and straightened her hair putting on a little black liquid eyeliner, mascara, pencil eyeliner and some lip balm to keep her lips healthy looking. Walking into the bedroom she saw that Greg was now up but probably down the stairs getting ready for work once again. She pulled on her red 4 1/2inch heals (Shoes on profile page) and then made her way down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Good morning" she said kissing Greg on the cheek before going for some coffee.

"Morning" he replied before he looked up from his papers and took her in "What are you wearing?" he asked her.

She turned to him confused "Clothes, the type of stuff I always wear" she said with her brows furrowing.

"No, you look more dressed up" he said even though she didn't "Go and change" he basically ordered her.

Danni's eyebrows rose as she looked at him "No, I won't change. I dunno what's gotten into you but I dress like this all the time it's nothing new. Sometimes I wear jeans, sometimes shorts, sometimes dresses and sometimes skirts so it's not a surprise…why are you acting like this?" she asked him annoyed.

"You're dressing up for him aren't you?" he asked looking angry and standing from his seat.

"What?" she questioned unable to believe what he was asking. This was ridiculous.

"Juice" he spat the name "You're dressing up so that you can go whoring around with him!" he exploded and it was the first time Danni had been afraid of him like he may actually hurt her.

"No! I'm not dressing up for Juice and I'm not planning on whoring around with anyone so calm down" she said to him eyeing him hesitantly.

"Don't lie to me! You're acting like a whore!" he shouted at her.

Danni straightened "You think I'm a whore?" she questioned.

"Yes! That's exactly how you're acting!" he yelled.

"By wearing a skirt?" she asked in disbelief. "You know what I don't need this! I have to meet my mother!" she said before making her way out of the kitchen.

"Don't you dare! You're changing first!" he shouted after her and grabbed her arm roughly.

"I'm going out with my mother; none of the guys will even be there! What is your problem? Let go of my arm Greg!" she said trying to wrench her arm free but his grip simply tightened.

"No!" he pulled her towards him and she knew there would be a bruise "You're not leaving until this is fixed! Stop acting like a slut and go change!" he continued gripping her even harder.

"Let go!" she screamed at him and never one to be the damsel in distress she grabbed his wrist and twisted it until he had to let go before she kneed him in the balls and ran to the door as he fell to the ground.

Danni immediately went to her car and quickly started the engine tearing out of the driveway as Greg appeared at the door looking murderous. She drove towards TM wondering what the hell just happened, sure he had always had a temper and they argued a lot but this was the first time he had hurt her physically…except the time he pushed her a little and she tripped over the table. She had a feeling that the reason he was getting violent now was because he wanted to keep her in line now that Juice was back but she wasn't the type to be controlled or tamed. She didn't want to tell the boys though, it was only a little bruise and they would go insane over it. For all she knew he didn't mean to bruise her and she didn't want to blow it out of proportion, she'd wait and see if her theory is right before she told the guys about it and in the mean time she can take care of herself like she just did.

When she pulled into TM she reached into the back seat and grabbed a black cardigan to cover her arm so that the newly forming bruise wouldn't be seen before she stepped out of the car and made her way towards her mother's office trying not to look in the direction she could feel Juice staring at her.

"Knock, knock" she said as she got to the door.

"Hey baby" her dad greeted her "You two going out?" he asked them.

"Yeah dad, we're going shopping and then for lunch" she said smiling at her mom.

"Hm yeah, Tara, Donna and Cherry are meeting us there" she said as she looked at her daughter "You ok dove?" she asked her.

Danni tried not to swallow hard and nodded "Yeah, why?" she asked but it was her dad who answered obviously having noticed something was off also.

"You seem a little…I dunno, just off" he tried to explain.

"Nah I'm ok" she assured.

"Ok baby" he said not entirely convinced "You two have fun" he kissed Gemma on the lips and her on the head as he passed her.

Gemma studied her daughter for a moment longer before she stood "Well, shall we baby?"

"We shall" Danni smiled as her mom linked arms with her and pulled her towards her car.

"Hey mom, sis" Jax greeted them as he passed but when he looked at Danni he stopped by the car Chibs, Tig and Juice were working on "You ok Danni?" he asked.

Danni looked at him slightly shocked that he noticed something too "Yeah, geez what is with you guys today?" she laughed.

"What?" he asked.

"Mom and dad were asking the same thing. Do I look tired or something that I never noticed?" she asked lightly by now the other three guys were studying her also.

Jax chuckled "Nah, never mind it's nothing. See you later" he said and kept walking as Danni pulled her mother a little to get away from the prying eyes because she new that they all noticed something they just didn't know exactly what it was.

When Gemma and Danni got to the shopping mall Tara, Donna and Cherry were already there waiting for them.

"Hey" Danni greeted them as Tara linked her arm with hers.

"Hi" the three women chorused and the all walked towards the shopping mall. After a couple of hours of shopping they stopped into a little café for a drink and something to eat before they headed back home.

"Geez Danni how can you keep that cardigan on it's sweltering today?" Cherry asked her and Danni just shrugged.

"I'm ok actually" she said even though she was boiling.

"So Danni…" Gemma started.

Danni sighed and looked at her mom "What?" she asked her.

"I just thought you might have a lot on you mind and want to talk about it with just us girls" she said.

"Like what?" she asked trying to avoid what she knew they were talking about.

"I dunno, thoughts, feelings…men…" Donna hinted.

"Nope I'm good" she said sipping her coke.

"Come on Danni! You're killing us here! What's gonna happen with you and Juice?" Tara finally burst making Danni sigh.

"Nothing is gonna happen ok? I'm with Greg now and I can't just dump everything I made in the past three years because Juice showed up very much alive" she explained.

"I understand that sweetie, really I do but…don't let what you should and shouldn't do dictate what you actually do because you'll end up miserable" Gemma said patting her daughters hand.

"I know you haven't actually said it yet but…well we all know that you still love Juice" Tara said softly.

"And…it's pretty obvious that you don't really love Greg" Cherry said just as gently making Danni sigh because she couldn't even be mad at them since they're being so nice about it all.

"The facts pretty much scream what you wanna do Danni…don't let a misguided feeling of responsibility make you miserable" Donna said with a small shrug.

Danni looked at them all "You guys suck you now that?" she said and they laughed.

"Only because you know we're right" Gemma said smirking.

"I hate you" she said to them.

"No you don't, you love us" Tara laughed as Danni rolled her eyes.

"So what are you gonna do?" Cherry asked.

Danni shrugged "I honestly don't know what the fuck I'm doin' anymore…about anything" she said honestly.

The four women shared a look with each other before they moved onto a different topic to try and lift Danni's spirits but they all knew something was wrong just like the guys knew and it didn't have anything to do with what she was going to do about Juice.

When the girls got back to TM the women were immediately whisked away by there men probably going to relay the conversation they had had. Danni plopped herself down on one of the benches outside and leaned back in the sun. She pulled her cardigan off and slipped off her shoes as she closed her eyes to the sun and sighed letting all the worries she had go to the back of her mind for a little while.

Not long later she heard "What the fuck happened to your arm?" and she jumped sitting up and looking to her left where Juice sat and she put her hand over her heart.

"Jesus Juice, I didn't even hear you there. Make some noise next time yeah?" she asked him with a breathy chuckle.

"What the fuck happened to your arm?" he repeated his eyes trained on the bruise on her left arm.

"Hm?" she hummed trying to stall. Should she lie until she knew for sure what was happening or tell him and have a guarantee that he'll go round to Greg right now and beat the shit out of him?

"Your arm?" he repeated staring at her face now.

"Oh that? It's nothing, I was in the shower this morning and the shelf I have hung over the plastic door fell and when I tried to catch it I bashed my arm of the side of the door…I totally forgot I even had the bruise" she said making it up on the spot and hoping it was believable. He stared at her hard for a long moment and she knew he could see right through her but before he could call bull shit on her excuse some of the guys came out so he kept quiet until a time where he could question her again. Danni quickly put her cardigan back on before anyone else could see her bruise and slipped her shoes back on as she conversed with the guys.

At 6 o'clock Danni sighed and then stood from the bench she had been sitting on "I gotta get home now" she said as grumbles went around once again and she simply rolled her eyes.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow" she said getting "Bye" and "Later" in response. She jumped into her car removed the cardigan to keep from getting any warmer and then pulled out from TM towards her house. She wasn't sure what she was gonna find when she got there and she honestly wasn't sure she wanted to find out but she couldn't hide for ever. And besides, she needed to find out if this was a one time thing or not because she wasn't the type of girl to stay with an abusive fiancé so if that was the case she'd be saying "Bye bye" to him.

When she pulled into the driveway she saw that he was already home for once and she took a deep breath before getting out of the car and heading into the house. Walking in she saw him lying on the couch lazily with a few beer bottles scattered about and one half full one in his hand as he watched the TV. She tried to quietly go past him not wanting to deal with him tonight especially if he had been drinking.

"Hey" he said to her as she passed him.

"Hi" she replied but kept walking.

"Wait a minute" he said grasping her wrist in his hand making her want to recoil but she didn't not wanting to give him the satisfaction; instead she simply stopped walking and stood there.

"I'm sorry about earlier Danielle. I just thought that you looked so gorgeous and with this Juice guy back practically vowing to get you back it made me lose my cool and I took it out on you and I'm sorry. It won't happen again I swear" he said and she realised that it sounded a lot like on TV when the guys apologises and the woman takes him back even though she knew she shouldn't. She always promised herself not to be like that but what if this really was a one time thing, did she want to walk out if it was only him losing his cool one time?

Danni sighed and turned toward him "Ok" she said hoping to god she wasn't making the wrong decision because if it happened one more time she was outta there.

"Thank you Danielle…you won't regret it" he smiled and pulled her to the couch with him kissing her for a long moment before pulling back and looking at the bruise that she had. "Did anyone see the bruise?" he asked her obviously concerned for himself and she sighed.

"I covered it with a cardigan but Juice saw it and I told him that…" but he cut her off before she could finish.

"You told him?" he exploded

She shook her head "No, if you'd just wait I was gonna say that I told him that I was in the shower and I…"

"Oh great now you giving him mental images of you naked in the shower" he shouted shaking his head. "They're gonna kill me if they find out I caused a bruise to show on your skin! How could you tell him?" he yelled.

"I didn't! I told him that I hit it against…" she was cut of when he threw the bottle he was holding at the wall making it shatter and the little bits to rain over her causing a little scratch to form on her left cheek.

"DO NOT LIE TO ME!" he screamed at her jerking her forward making her ram into the wall and pain shot through her left arm and her head and she knew there would be an even bigger bruise on her arm in the morning now.

"I'm not lying to you Greg! You're doing it again and I can't do this if this is what happens! I'm done Greg! You and I? We're over do you understand me!" she shouted at him taking her engagement ring off of her finger and throwing it to the floor marching towards the front door. He didn't let her get that far before he turned her and shoved her into the wooden cabinet by the door, her hip banging against it painfully.

"You don't get to decide when we're over Danielle! You are not leaving me! Especially not for that biker! God Danielle you're such a biker whore!" he screamed in her face.

"Get off of me!" she shoved him away but her grabbed her again this time pressing her against the door making the door handle dig into her lower back forcefully.

"You're not going anywhere!" he shouted at her pulling her forward and slamming her back again making her even back even worse than before. She punched him in the kidney like she had been shown and he doubled over in pain as she shot around to get the door open but he was back in a second wrapping a hand around her neck and squeezing tightly.

"You need to learn to behave Danielle! I can't have you running to those bikers! They'll kill me! Just do as I say and we'll be fine!" he yelled at her tightening his hand causing her to gasp for breath. She kicked upwards making him bend over again so she kneed him it the stomach, then the face and he went down like a ton of bricks and she was never more thankful that her overprotective family had forced her to learn this stuff.

She grabbed her phone and keys and threw the door open before running towards her car and flying out of there like a bat outta hell but she had no idea where to go. Anywhere she went would mean the ultimate demise of Greg not that she minded right now but…fuck, she didn't know what to do.

She knew that the guys were probably at the caracara party so the club house should be empty for the night so she made her way to TM planning to leave in the morning before anyone got back and she could try to tell them calmly rather that hysterically since it only just occurred.

She pulled into TM and went directly into the main room hopping up onto the pool table. She rested her elbows on her knees and then let her head drop into her hands as she sighed and tried to calm herself while trying to ignore the pain she felt.

"Danni?" she heard and her head shot up until her eyes locked on Juice's and his face turned from one of concern to one of rage as his eyes zeroed in on her wounds.

What do you think? Review please…
