Chapter Twenty Two
I stood there looking at Clay stunned that he was in my house and I didn't even know how he got in. Phil quickly walked out of the house and shut the door behind himself. I stood in my spot nervously fiddling with my sweater's zipper. Everything inside of me was screaming to run.
"Have a seat." Clay said pointing at the couch in front of me. "We need to talk about the shit you were trying to hide."
I walked around the couch and sat on the furthest end from him. "What are you talking about?" I said trying to hide the fear from my voice and face. "Can we do this when Happy gets home?" I said hoping he would agree with me.
"Ya know what I'm talking about and no we ain't waiting for Hap to get home." He said as he leaned forward on the recliner he was sitting on. "I called up to Tacoma and talked with a couple of the guys."
It felt like my heart dropped to my stomach and Clay knew it because he smirked at me. "I need to call Happy and let him know I'm home. He wanted me to call him I don't want him to worry." I said I as stood up and started to walk away.
Clay quickly stood up and walked towards me. "That can fucking wait sit your ass down." He snapped at me and pointed towards the couch. "Ya ain't getting out of shit this time." I stopped walking and looked at him. I couldn't believe the way he was talking to me. "I said to sit the fuck down."
I slowly walked back to the couch, I felt like I wanted to cry from the fear I was feeling but I wasn't going to let him know I was scared so I just held myself together. I didn't know what was told to him so I didn't know what to tell him. I pulled my legs on the couch and tucked them under me so I could keep my leg from bouncing.
"I have no idea how ya managed to get under so many of my guy's skin to have them fucking lying to me. I had to send half my club out on runs just so I can have this talk without them butting in." he said to me as he lit his cigar. "Lorca was just too quick to tell me nothing was going on up there with ya but I knew better than to just take his word so I spoke with Lee and he told me everything."
"We were going to tell you about it." I said to him hoping he believed me.
"No you weren't!" he snapped at me as he sat back down. "You have been around my fucking clubhouse for almost two years now and ya haven't said shit yet. Not one fucking word about all the Intel ya were getting for Samtac, the job at Tacoma PD, the fight training, the guns and let's not forget my favorite one, assisting Hap and Donut with that rat Kevin. Now aren't we just the perfect undercover bad girl." He said smirking at me.
My heart was racing very fast it almost felt like a heart attack. "Look Clay they never said anything to you because I didn't want to do any of it anymore."
"See that is not a choice for you to make in fact you're pretty damn lucky to be breathing right now." he said pointing his cigar at me. "With all the knowledge you have of my club ya should have never been able to walk away the way ya did four years ago. Believe me when I say this IT WILL NOT HAPPEN again."
"I never spoke a word about anything I know to anyone." I said defending myself to him as I felt the tears pool in my eyes. "I would never do anything to hurt the club, Happy or my brother."
"Your right ya will never do anything to hurt this club this conversation will stay between us. Lee told me how Hap doesn't want ya involved so it will stay between you and me if ya know what's good for ya."
"Why are you doing this to me?" asked looking at him wide eyed with fear. "If Happy finds out I'm helping with club business again it will ruin us."
"Well I don't see where that's a problem for me but ya really should try to keep it from him." He said smirking at me.
"Please Clay don't do this to me."
"Seeing that you're an asset to my club I will let that little disappearing act of yours slide this time. Are ya going to walk me out?" He said as he stood up and walked to the door. I got up and followed behind him to the door when he abruptly stopped and turned to face me, we were about a foot apart from each other I went to take a step back when he reached up and roughly grabbed my chin holding me in my spot. "You should have stayed gone the first time ya left charming. My club will always come first I will eliminate anything or anyone that becomes a problem for me. So don't get any bright ideas in that pretty little head of yours."
He released the tight hold he had on my chin as my tears spilled over and he smirked at me as he walked out the door slamming it behind him, I jumped from the sound the door made. My breathing had become as rapid as my heartbeat I turned and leaned against the wall next to the door and slid down it not being able to control my tears anymore. A few minutes later the front door open again and Phil walked in.
"Jess are you ok?" he nervously asked as he crouched down in front of me when he saw me sitting on the floor crying. "Do ya want me to call Hap?"
I quickly pulled myself to my feet and he lightly held on to my elbow until I was steady. "NO I'm fine." I said to him as I tried to wipe the tears. "I'm tired you know where the extra blankets are?" I asked and he nodded his head yes. "I'm going to go up and go to bed." I said to him as I quickly made my way upstairs.
"Jess I'm going to sleep on the couch if you need anything." Phil yelled up to me and I turned to nod my head at him.
The minute I shut my door the tears came down again. I pulled out my cell to call the first person that came to my mind. When the other line was answered I spoke first. "I need to get out of here…" I said between sobs. "No, none of the guys are around….. The prospect Phil is here….. I can't say right now…. Can you please pick me up…?" I'll call you once he falls asleep…. Ok bye."
I hung up the phone and pulled out a bag and shoved some clothes inside of it. I quickly change out of my scrubs and threw on a pair of skinny jeans and a tank top with my white Nikes. I finally got my crying under control and crept out in the hall to see if I could hear if Phil was snoring yet and he was, I went back to my room and grabbed my cell. "He's sleeping…. OK I'll meet you on the corner."
I placed my pre-paid on the dresser and grabbed my bag and slowly made my way down the stairs making sure I didn't make a sound to wake Phil. I knew it would be risky to go out the front door so I went to the back door stopping only when I heard Phil cough as I looked over my shoulder he was still asleep on the couch. When I made it to the door I was able to open it without a sound and did the same in closing it. I ran to the corner and jumped in the waiting car and we sped off.
**Happy POV**
It didn't take us long to get to Nevada but what pissed me off was that we found out we weren't even needed here the shit they had Juice doing he could have done back in Charming. I kept checking my phone because Jess hasn't called me and she should have called over an hour ago. I tried calling both of her phones and she ain't answering and the fucking prospect ain't answering his either. I had to find Jax we needed to get the fuck back to Charming.
I walked back into the clubhouse and saw Jax sitting at the bar. "Jax we gotta go they don't fucking need us here."
"Juice said he would be done in a couple of hours. We'll take off then there ain't no need for us to stay here until morning." He said as he put his beer down on the bar. "What's got your ass wired?"
"I can't get a hold of my old lady and the fucking prospect ain't answering his god damn phone." I said to him as a sweetbutt latched herself on to my fucking arm.
"I can take your mind off of her." She said as she ran her hand from my face down my chest. "Let me show you a good time. I promise by time I'm done I will be the only thing on that mind of yours."
"Let me call Tara." Jax said as he pulled out his phone and smirked at me.
I grabbed her wrist to stop her from going further down my torso. "BACK THE FUCK OFF ME BITCH!" I snapped at her as I pushed her away and waited for Jax to come back.
"Hap, Tara said she dropped Jess off at about twelve fifteen." He said as he ran his hand down his face. "Maybe she was tired and fell asleep. We should be home by the time she wakes up."
"Yeah your right." I said to him as I grabbed a beer and went to sit with Chibs who was sitting next to where Juice was doing his shit. "Is he almost done?" I asked him as I pointed the bottle at Juice.
"Aye, why do ya think Clay had us come all da way here if Juicy boy could have done this back home?" Chibs asked and I shrugged my shoulders to him. "Juicy ya need ta hurry dat shit up I wanna get da hell outta here." Chibs yelled at Juice who nodded his head in response.
A couple of hours later we were back on the road to Charming. As the sun was coming up I saw the welcome to Charming sign and my stomach turned into knots. I tried to ignore it but something felt wrong. When we pulled onto TM's lot I didn't get off my bike. "Jax I'm gonna head home call me if ya need me." I said to him and he nodded his head as I started my bike again.
When I got to the house I saw the prospect's bike parked in the driveway. I went inside and saw his ass sleeping on the couch. "Wake the fuck up." I screamed and he jumped up. "Where the fuck is my old lady?"
"She's upstairs sleeping." He said as he was hurrying to put his boots on.
I went up the stairs taking two at a time and open the bedroom door to find it empty and the bed was still made so she never got in it. I went to check the other rooms and they were also empty. I ran back down the stairs as the prospect was opening the door. I grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into the wall.
"Mutha fucker she ain't up there." I growled in his face. "Where the fuck is she?"
"Hap I swear I saw her go up the stairs." He rasped out because I was squeezing his throat. "She was crying when I came in and I asked her if I should call you but she said no she was tired and was going to sleep."
I didn't understand what he was saying. "Why the fuck was she crying?"
"I don't know when we got here Clay was inside here. He told me to wait outside and when he left I came back in a few minutes later and she was sitting on the floor crying."
I released his throat as I turned away I kicked the door shut causing the glass on the door to shatter. "SON OF A BITCH!" I yelled as I pulled my phone out. I called Jess's pre-paid as I walked towards the kitchen I heard it ringing upstairs. I hit end and called her personal cell and it went straight to voice mail. "Jess where the fuck are ya? Call me now!" I shut the phone and looked at the prospect as I tried her phone again. "Prospect call Juice tell him to get his ass here now."
After talking with the prospect I checked the room again and one of her bags was gone and her scrubs from yesterday were sitting on the floor in the bathroom, now I was in the kitchen pacing it. The prospect was cleaning the glass off the floor by the door when Juice and Chibs walked in. "What the fuck is going on?" Juice asked when he walked in the kitchen. I saw the worried look on his face. "Where is my sister?"
"I don't fucking know." I snapped at him as I kicked the kitchen chair across the room. "She fucking bolted on the prospect last night."
"What do ya mean she bolted on da prospect?" Chibs asked.
"Jess said she wasn't going to do that shit anymore." Juice said to me as he looked back at the prospect. "Why would she leave? Did ya call her phone? How do ya know no one took her from here?"
"Her fucking pre-paid is upstairs and she fucking turn off her other phone and one of her duffle bags is missing. If someone took her ass I don't think they would give her time to change, pack and leave the prospect still breathing." I said as I started to pace again. "Prospect said Clay was here last night and made him wait outside while he talked with her and when he came back in she was on the fucking floor crying." I said as I punched the wall. I was having a hard time controlling my anger.
"Brotha ya gotta calm down we'll find lass. Don't she gotta work tonight?" Chibs said as he walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "We can wait at da hospital until she shows up if she doesn't we'll search every inch of da town."
"I'm gonna go back to the clubhouse and see if there are any hits on any of her cards. I'll come back here once I'm done." Juice said as he walked to the door.
"Juice don't say shit to anyone. I don't know what he fucking said to her so I don't want him to know she's gone." I said to him and he nodded his head as he walked out and Phil started to follow behind. "Prospect sit the fuck down ya ain't leaving this house until she's back." I snapped at him.
"We all knew somethin' wasn't right when Clay sent da four of us ta Nevada. Hap we weren't da only ones he sent away." Chibs said as he sat down at the table.
"What the fuck ya talking about Chibs?" I asked as I leaned against the counter.
"He sent Kozik and Bobby ta Oakland for a meet wit Alvarez about da Los Locos. Ope and Piney have been MIA." He said to me as he ran his hands through his hair. "I think Clay didn't want anyone around when he came here."
"I don't fucking understand why she wouldn't call me." I snapped out of frustration. "I fucking told her yesterday morning to let me know if anyone said shit to her."
"Hap we don't know what he said to 'er. Don't snap at 'er give 'er time ta explain 'erself ta ya." I just nodded my head at him as I pushed myself of the counter and walked out to the back yard. I honestly didn't know what I would do if I saw her right now.
**Jessica POV**
I was happy to know that I could call Lyla and she would help me but I was also surprised to find out she left Opie two days ago and that's why she wasn't around. When I told her what happen with Clay she was quick to tell me that I could stay with her as long as I needed to because the place was under a friends name so none of the guys knew about it. As I laid on the couch looking up at the ceiling I was trying to figure out if I was going to go into work or call off. Once the prospect finds out I'm not there he will end up calling Happy.
"Lyla has Opie tried to call you?" I asked when I saw her go into the kitchen.
"No, has anyone called your phone?" she asked as she peeked her head back in the living room from the kitchen. "Do you want some coffee?"
"Yeah I'll take some coffee." I said as I got up and went to sit with her. "I shut my phone of last night so I don't know if anyone called and I left my pre-paid at the house."
"Are you going to turn it back on?" she asked as she placed a cup of coffee in front of me.
"No, hopefully it will be a few hours before the prospect sees I'm gone then if he calls Happy it should take the guys at least four hours or more to get back here so I should be able to work and be back here before he gets home."
"So you're going to go into work?" she asked as she sat down across from me and I shook my head yes. "What time do you start?"
"I was supposed to start at four but one of the other doctors asked me to switch with him so I go in at noon instead. Can you give me a ride? I can see if one of the nurses can give me a ride back here."
"I can take you and pick you up. I don't have to go to the studio today." She said to me. "Are you going to stay in Charming?"
"I don't want to leave; I just need a couple of days to figure out what to do about Clay. Thank you for helping me."
"Jess I'm always here for you." She said as she ran her fingers through her hair. "I should have called and told you about me and Ope."
"Hey we'll get through all this shit together." I said to her with a smile and she smiled back at me.
A few hours later we were leaving and so far we hadn't heard anything from Opie so I took that as good sign that the prospect still didn't know I was gone because I was sure he would call her to see if she heard from me. I didn't bother turning my phone on. When we got to the hospital I said bye to Lyla and told her I would call her when I got out. I went in and started working. A couple of hours later Tara came over to me and I got nervous when I saw her because we haven't really spoken to each other yet and I thought Jax might have sent her to look for me.
"Hey Jess, Jax called last night he said Happy was worried because you forgot to call him." She said as she sat next to me.
"I was so tired I went straight to bed I forgot all about calling him." I said to her as I picked up a chart to hide my shaky hands.
"I told Jax that you had a long day and that was probably what happened. Just give him a call when you get chance." She said as she got up. I nodded at her as she walked away I was so relieved to hear that no one knew anything yet.
I went back to work and about an hour later I had gone upstairs to take them a patient's chart that was left down stairs. As I came back down on the elevator the doors opened up but I didn't make move to get off because Happy, Juice and Chibs were standing in front of the elevator door with very pissed off looks on their faces. The three of them stepped on the elevator as the doors closed Chibs hit the top floor button and held the closed door button so it wouldn't stop. (side note that actually works I have done it)Happy stepped closer to me and roughly pushed me against the wall, his hand was right at the base of my neck as his other hand came up next to my head. My heart was beating very fast and I knew he could feel it. The look on his face scared me more than Clay did yesterday.
"Hap don't be so rough with her." Juice said with a concerned look now on his face.
"Shut the fuck up!" he snapped at him but kept his eyes locked on mine. "Why the fuck did ya bolt on me again?"
"You weren't supposed to be back until tonight." I said because I didn't know what else to say to him.
"What did I not give your ass enough time to fucking skip town." He growled at me. I brought my hands up to his chest just as they touched him he brought the hand that was next to my head down and smacked my hands away from his chest. "Don't fucking touch me!"
I felt the tears start to roll down my face; I reached up and grabbed the hand that was pushing against the base of my neck because the pressure he was applying started to hurt. "Happy please let me explain." I said as tried to move his hand and was not succeeding at it.
"Brotha ease up on 'er." Chibs said as the elevator came to a stop. Happy closed his eyes for a second and when the doors opened up he pushed off me and walked off the elevator.
I ran out behind him as I looked around I noticed we were on the maintenance floor and he was getting ready to open the door to the stairs. "HAPPY!" I yelled after him and the others came off the elevator behind me.
"Fuck you! You wanna go fine go I won't stop you." He said as he stopped and turn to face me.
"Hap you said ya would let her explain." Juice said from behind me. "We gotta hear her out."
Happy just grunted at him and turned to glare at me I slowly walked towards him trying to gauge his response to my movements. He didn't move away from me; all he did was cross his arms over his chest and lean back against the wall. Chibs and Juice also moved closer to us knowing the last time he was this pissed at me he ended up backhanding me.
"Jess why did ya skip out on the prospect?" Juice asked from behind me.
I ignored his question and kept my eyes locked on Happy's eyes. "I wasn't going to leave Charming. I know Phil must have told you about Clay being at the house." I said to him as I wiped the tears from my face. "Hap he scared the shit out of me."
"What did he say ta ya lass?" Chibs asked.
I turned my head to face him when Happy reached forward and grabbed my chin and turned me to look back at him. I wince when he did that because it was still sore and had a light bruise on it from when Clay roughly grabbed my chin.
His hand quickly left my face. "What the hell is wrong? I didn't even grab ya hard."
"It's nothing." I said as I rubbed my chin.
"Don't fucking lie to me." He snapped as he reached to the back of my neck and pulled me forward to him. When I came forward I braced my hands against his chest. His other hand came up and carefully lifted my chin. "Who the fuck did this to ya?" he snapped.
"What are you talking about?" Juice asked as him and Chibs came closer to see what Happy was looking at. "Why the hell are ya bruised?"
"Lass did Clay do this ta ya?" Chibs asked and I nodded my head yes to him as the tears spilled over again.
"THAT MUTHA FUCKER!" Happy yelled as he released my neck but pulled me into a hug. "Jess why didn't ya fucking call me?"
"I tried to call you when I saw him at the house but he wouldn't let me." I said as I moved myself closer to him wrapping my arms around his waist and he held me tighter. "After he left I was scared of what he would do if I told you what happen."
"What the fuck did he say and do to you?" Happy asked and I could hear the anger in his voice.
I told the three of them every word that Clay said to me. By the time I finished telling them Juice and Chibs were both pacing with the look of fury in their eyes. Happy's entire body had stiffened on me and his eyes were black and cold. I did the best I could to keep the tears at bay as I told them only letting as few tears as possible come out.
"I don't want anyone saying shit to Clay about this. I want to let him think Jess didn't say shit to us." Happy said as he pushed me back to look me in the face. "We will handle him my way." He said looking me dead in the eyes and I nodded my head to him.
"Are ya sure you want to do it this way?" Juice asked as we walked back to the elevator. "Why don't we call Quinn and ask for a transfer?" Happy and I both noticed how he had said we.
"Because Jax needs our votes to take that gavel away from him." Happy said to Juice. "I love this fucking club but if it were my choice I would kill mutha fucker now."
The three of them discussed if they should say anything to Jax about this but Happy decided that he didn't want anyone else to know until it was time to put the presidency to a vote. Happy apparently had already threatened Phil to keep his mouth shut about everything.
When we got back to the ER Juice and Chibs both hugged me and told Happy they would wait for him by the bikes. Happy walked me back to the nurse's pod, when we walked in the two nurses that were in there glance over at us and told us they would give us a little space.
"Hap I'm sorry for taking off like that." I said to him as I leaned against the counter. "I didn't know what else to do."
"I fucking told you yesterday what to do if something like that happen." He walked over to stand in front of me and cupped my face. "The fucking problem is your fucking instinct is to run. Ya gotta stop that shit. Did ya honestly think I wasn't going to fucking hunt your ass down?"
"No, I knew you would but I also knew that if things had worked the way I wanted them to you would have not found me for a few days." I said looking up at him and seeing his jaw clinch. "Happy I know what this club means to you. I didn't want to be the reason it has problems."
"I can't believe ya would fucking think you mean so little to me." He growled at me. "I want to fucking kill my own president for the threat he gave ya and for putting his hand on ya. Don't ever second guess how much I feel for ya. I fucking love your ass."
"I love you too that's why I didn't want you to have to choose between me and your club."
"It ain't a choice between you and my club. It's a choice between you and Clay, I will always fucking choose you."
Happy leaned forward and placed a soft kiss to my lips. "I get out at eight. I need to get back to work before Margret has my ass."
"A'ight, I'll be back for ya. Don't fucking leave here with anyone else." He said as he placed another kiss on my lips. "If anyone comes here telling ya I sent them ya better call and check with me first. I don't care who the fuck it is." I nodded my head at him as he walked away.
I tried to go about my day like it was just another day but my mind couldn't stay focused. Clay's words kept replaying themselves in my head along with Happy's. I had called Lyla after Happy left and told her what happen with him. She felt bad that they found out so quick but assured me that if I needed her all I had to do was call. It was almost time for me to get off and for the first time since I've started here I was wishing I could stay longer because within these walls my life seemed somewhat normal. Just as I was finishing up the last of my charts Happy showed up alone.
We walked out to his bike, things seemed normal with us on the outside but I knew his mind was somewhere else and I couldn't help but feel like it was my fault. I knew what the club meant to him and now all this stuff with Clay had him battling himself on the inside. I was so deep in my thoughts I didn't noticed he was trying to talk with me.
"Jess are ya listening to me?" he said snapping me out of my thoughts.
"No I'm sorry what did you say?" I said looking up at him when we stopped walking.
"I was telling you that I need to handle this shit with Clay tonight. I can't let him think he can get away with this shit." He said to me as he climbed on the bike. "The shit he had us do earlier just wasn't right and it hit Jax in a bad place. I ain't gonna risk Clay trying to pull ya into bullshit."
"I don't want to be home alone when you go see him." I said when I climbed on behind him. "Let me call Lyla and have her pick me up at the house and I can have her bring me home later tonight or tomorrow."
"Nah your coming with me." He said as glance over his shoulder at me. I knew he saw the fear in my eyes because he brought his hands down to hold mine that were wrapped around his waist. "Jess I ain't gonna let shit happen to you. I want you there standing by my side."
We rode to TM when we got there the place looked deserted, we walked into the clubhouse quietly and slowly but it was empty. I walked behind Happy when we got to the chapel doors he opened it up and Clay was standing there and Happy glared at him.
"I thought you were someone else. I'm glad you're here I need your help." He said to Happy as he took a step back and then saw me come into view. "Oh judging by the look on your face I see baby girl here has talked with you."
We slowly entered the room moving off to the side further away from Clay when we noticed the gun in his hand. "What's going on with you?" Happy asked him as he pushed me behind him. "What's with gun?" Happy asked nodding towards the gun in Clay's hand.
"Just protecting myself. Ya must be here because of what I said to her." He said pointing his gun towards us as he shut the door. Happy quickly pulled his gun. "Are ya going against your club for pussy?"
Just as Happy was about to respond to him the door slammed open knocking Clay into the table and the gun out of his hand. Happy's arm quickly reached behind and pulled me closer to him and held me against his back as I saw Opie grab Clay's gun and tossed it out the door pointing his own gun at Clay. Happy had his gun drawn but not pointing at anyone. Opie glanced at us but quickly turned his attention back on Clay. I buried my face into Happy's back and tried to tune the yelling out by listening to Happy's steady breathing, my heart was once again beating extremely fast and I was trying to slow it down.
I heard Opie yelling at Clay about Piney being dead at the hands of Clay and about his late wife Donna also dying because of him. I knew some of the story about Donna but not all of it because no one really liked to talk about it. Opie was so in his grief that if felt like he forgot we were standing there except the few times he would glance our way probably to see if Happy would make a move. I took a quick glance at Clay just as he closed his eyes and then I heard Jax run in.
"OPE! Put it down." He yelled causing me to jump and turn towards the two of them. "Please Ope don't make me kill you."
My eyes went wide how can he defend Clay knowing all that he has done. The room went silent and Jax turned his head and saw us standing there. The fear and sadness in his eyes was unmistakable my heart felt for him. Happy leaned back into me as he still had his arm around me, holstered his gun and shook his head at Jax. Opie took advantage of Jax distraction on us and two guns shots rang out, I jumped from the sound and once again buried my face into Happy's back. All of sudden I heard Clay gasping for air but I didn't look up until there was another gunshot this time Ope called out in pain.
Hearing him I quickly look towards him just as Jax knocked him out. I tried to pull away from Happy to go to Opie but he wouldn't release his grip on me. Jax started to scream for my help but Happy just silently shook his head no.
I pushed at his arm. "Hap let me go." He glared down at me over his shoulder as his arm released me but to the surprise of everyone standing there I didn't go to Clay's side instead I ran to Opie and knelt down next to him.
Just then Rat ran in with Unser right on his heels I wasn't listening to anything there were saying I was making sure Opie was ok. I glanced over my shoulder at them and saw Happy and Jax carrying Clay out of the room as Rat followed behind them.
"Jess wrap Ope's arm I'll be back for him." He yelled over Clay's shoulder at me. "Unser clean up the blood in here and get rid of the guns."
I looked over at Unser and he was shaking his head mumbling something to himself. I got up from the floor and ran to the kitchen grabbing a towel as I ran back in the room I saw Opie's gun still on the table so I grabbed it and stuffed it in the back of my waist band. When I turned around Unser raised his eyebrow at me and I just shrugged my shoulders at him and continued my way to Opie. I finally was able to wake him and had him sit up against the table as I knelt beside him and wrapped his arm the best I could.
"I didn't mean to scare you. He needs to die for what he did." Opie said to me.
The sadness in his eyes was something I wish I didn't have to see. He lost his wife and father at the hands of someone who was supposed to be family. "I know he does. I agree with what you did." I said to him as I pulled him in for a hug and whispered in his ear. "He will pay for what he did."
He squeezed the hug tighter as he lifted the both of us up to our feet with his good arm. "Why were you and Hap here?" he asked sounding a little confused. "I didn't think anyone was here with him."
Just as I was going to answer him Happy and Jax walked back in that's when I noticed Unser was still in here with us. "We'll talk about that later." I said to him as I did a slight nod towards Jax and he nodded his head in agreement to me and Unser walked out.
"Jess we gotta get out of here." Happy said reaching his hand out to me. "Jax is going to get Ope out of here." I shook my head ok as I gave Opie one last squeeze before releasing him and taking Happy's outstretched hand.
Opie reached forward and laid a kiss on my temple as he whispered in my ear. "Be careful around here I don't want anything to happen to you like it did to Donna." He then pulled back and nodded his head at Happy.
We walked out of the chapel behind Jax and Opie; Happy pulled me closer to him and whispered in my ear. "What was all that about with Opie?"
I looked up at him and in a low voice responded to him. "I'll tell you at home. We're going home right."
"Just for a few, we gotta show our face at the hospital so no one will suspect anything." He said as we walked outside. "I want ya to change out of your scrubs it's the only reason were going there at all."
I look towards the garage and saw Clay leaning up against one of the tool boxes while Unser and Jax talked. We walked over to Happy's bike and climbed on as we pulled away I looked over towards Opie who was sitting in the tow truck and gave him a small smile which he in return did the same.
We quickly made our way to the house and Happy pulled in the driveway and parked the bike. I walked to the front door and saw the board covering where the window use to be. I turned around and raised an eyebrow at Happy and he just shook his head and walked past me to open the door. Happy went into the kitchen as I ran upstairs to change. I threw on a pair of worn skinny jeans with a purple wrap sweater and my black scrunched booties. I went into the bathroom to put on a little foundation to cover the bruise on my chin when Happy came in.
"Jess we gotta go. Chibs called to let me know Clay's in the hospital." he then turned to walk out and I stopped him.
"Hap wait." I said as I grabbed the gun from the dresser and handed it to him. "It's Opie's I didn't want it to fall in the wrong hands."
"I'll get rid of it." He said as he placed it in one of the chests that I had on the dresser. "Remember none of us were there tonight." I nodded my head and we left.
When we arrived at the hospital Tig and Chibs were standing in the waiting room. We walked over to them I gave Chibs a quick hug and he kissed my forehead. I looked over at Happy and excused myself so they could all talk. As I walked away I spotted Debbie walking down the hall so I ran towards her to see what I could find out after talking with her about Clay's condition I decided to go and sit with the guys.
I walked in the waiting room and saw Roosevelt questioning Unser so I went and sat next to Happy and he held on to my thigh. When he was done with his questions he glanced at me and Happy and shook his head at us as he walked away. Gemma came in and quickly made her way to the other doors and Unser followed her. Tig was really upset with himself and ended up leaving right after Roosevelt. We sat there longer than I wanted to but Happy said we had to so I ended up falling asleep. Happy woke me up when Jax walked in and I saw that it was already morning. After Happy and Chibs talked with him we left to go to the clubhouse.
I was laying on the edge of the boxing ring thinking about the times in Tacoma when Kozik and Happy would train me when Happy came walking over to me. "What are ya thinking about?" he said as he sat down and pulled my legs on his lap.
"Tacoma." I said leaning up on my elbows and he smirked at me. "Do you remember the last time we were in the ring?"
"Yeah it was a couple of weeks before ya split on me. I just got back from Charming and ya were pissed at me because I had to spent two weeks out there." He said smirking at me. "I think ya were trying to kick my ass more than train."
"I was." I said smirking back at him and then changed the subject. "I don't think we're going to be able to handle this shit with my ma are we?"
"No, I'll talk with Jax and we'll try for tomorrow." He said as Chibs came running over to us.
"Brotha Tig is in trouble we gotta go." He said and then turned and walked away.
"I gotta go. Call Lyla have her give ya ride home." Happy said to me as he jumped up and quickly kissed me and ran after Chibs.
I pulled out my cell and called Lyla she was fine with giving me a ride and was on her way. I watched as just about every member there took off on their bikes. Something inside of me told me that things were going to change from this moment on. Lyla came pulling in about twenty minutes after the guys left.
AN: I know things didn't completely go as scripted by Mr. Sutter but I had to put my own twist to it for it to work in my story. Seeing as Juice doesn't rat and Kozik and Miles never died. I wanted to use some of his story but in my own way. I hope you enjoyed it.
