...Chapter 4...
Reese parked the jeep in front of the motel room. "Don't make any sudden movements.. she might get jumpy." she laughed, getting out of the drivers side.
"What?" Juice got out and followed her. "What do you mean.. jumpy?"
"I'm just kidding.. she's awesome, you'll see." then Reese opened the door.
"What the hell is.." Olivia stopped mid-sentence seeing a guy with Reese. "Who's that? Where's Alex?"
"First things first.. Olivia, this is Juice, he's a club member, like, Alex's grandpa.. Juice, this is Olivia."
"Uh-huh.. where's Alex?"
"She's with Jax." Juice spoke up. "She had 2 letters to deliver and those members are in Stockton Prison, so he had to take her."
"But guess what, Olivia?" Reese clapped her hands. "The club is having some kind of party for Alex, because she is the guest of honor. You need to get ready, so you can help me and the guys."
"Ooh, there's gonna be a party? I'm down with that." Olivia went into her suitcase, grabbed some clothes, and went into the bathroom.
"Alex was right."
Reese looked at Juice, confused. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"She said that once Olivia hears the word party.."
"Oh." Reese laughed. "Yeah."
"So." Juice leaned up against the wall and crossed his arms over his chest. "Tell me a little more about yourself."
"Well, I'm from Phoenix.. Alex and Olivia are my best friends." she paused to think. "And I don't have a boyfriend."
"I see." Juice nodded.
"What about you, Mister?"
"I'm originally from Queens and I don't have a girlfriend." he smirked.
Before she was about to respond, Olivia came out of the bathroom. "Okay, I'm ready to go."
"Alright." Reese laughed. "I'll explained the rest to you about what's going on.. on the way."
"Shotgun!" Olivia yelled, as she headed out the door. Juice just smiled at Reese as both of them followed her out of the motel room.
...
"Before we get in there." Jax started, helping Alex get off his bike. "Let me talk to them first and explain why you're here, okay?"
"Yeah." she nodded, then her phone rang with a text message. She took it out of her pocket and read it. "Hey, Al.. had some car trouble, but I should be at the motel sometime tomorrow night."
"Who's that?"
Alex ignored Jax's question and responded back. "Sure, Carter.. see you when you get here. Nick still doesn't know, right?"
"Of course not."
"Okay. See you soon, Dude!" then she put her phone away in her back pocket and saw the look on Jax's face. "What?"
"Who is that?"
Alex groaned. "It's a friend of mine that's driving up to meet Livvie, Murph, and I.. nosy." she paused. "Because after we leave from here, we're heading to the beach, Disneyland, and back to Hollywood before we go back home."
"Wait.. you're going back home?" he asked, but Alex didn't respond, she just huffed, walking into the building. Jax just shook his head and followed her inside.
...
The sun had gone down as soon as Jax pulled into T-M and the party was already in full swing. "Looks like the party started without us." Alex chuckled, getting off of Jax's bike.
"They always do." he agreed, getting off his bike as well, then stood in front of her. "These parties can get kinda crazy."
"What do you mean, kinda? My grandpa told me all about them."
".. just saying." he shrugged.
Moments later, Alex's phone rang. She took it out of her pocket and saw "Nick" flashing on the screen. "Oh, my God! What?!" Jax looked confused as she pressed the talk button. "What do you want?"
"Hello to you too."
"Nick, I don't have time for your bullshit.. so, what could you possibly want now."
"I wanna know when you're coming home."
"How 'bout.. when I'm good and ready."
"You better watch your tone, Alex."
"Or what? What the hell do you think you're gonna do to me?"
"Just wait and you'll see."
Alex scoffed. "Promises, promises."
"Hey, Alex!" Tig yelled. "There's a party going on in here for you!"
"I'll be right there!"
"Who the hell was that?" Nick demanded.
"Don't worry about it.. I gotta go." then she hung up on him and heavily sighed.
"You wanna tell me who that was?" Jax asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
Alex stared at him for a moment. "My stupid ass boyfriend, Nick.. he just won't leave me alone. Apparently, he'd rather bug me and annoy me on my mini vacation."
"Let me talk to him the next time he calls you."
"Thanks, but.." Alex sighed. "It'll only make it worst."
Jax raised his eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Just forget it." Alex waved her hand. "Let's go party."
As she was about to walk away, Jax grabbed her arm to stop her. "Alex.. wait."
"Just leave it alone." she said, before going into the clubhouse.
"Finally, Bitch!" Olivia went up to Alex with a shot glass in her hand. "This is your party."
"I know, I know." she took the shot glass from her and drank it, then she saw Jax walking in with a frown. He stared right at her, until she looked away and both of them went over to talk to Juice and Reese.
...
A few hours later, Alex had gotten back from dropping drunk Olivia off at the motel to sleep it off for the night. Right after she parked her jeep and got out, Jax was waiting for her. "What now?"
"Where'd you go?"
"I took Livvie to the motel to sleep.. she was drunk off her ass."
"She could have slept here at the clubhouse.." Jax offered. "We do have rooms in the back."
"Oh, I didn't know that." Alex waved her hand. "She'll be fine.. if you will excuse me, I have to check on Murph." he nodded, then followed her into the clubhouse.
"Hey, Al!" Reese yelled. "Come play pool with us."
"Alright." Alex and Jax went up to her, Juice, and Happy. "How drunk are you, Murph?"
"She's smashed." Juice laughed.
"Here." Reese gave Alex her drink. "You look, like, you need this more than I do."
"As a matter-of-fact, I do." Alex drank the whole cup and smiled. "Long Island iced tea.. this is tasty."
"Okay, Al." Reese grabbed a pool stick. "You and me against the guys."
"Alright." Alex glanced at Jax. "Be prepared to get your asses kicked."
"A'ight." he chuckled, as Juice racked up the pool balls and put them in place.
...
Later that night, Jax grabbed a few beers and went looking around for Alex. Finally, he found her sitting on top of one of the tables outside. Taking a deep breath, he sat down next to her and offered her the beer. "Here."
"Thanks." she took it from him.
"What are you doin' out here?"
"Just thinking.. it's actually not bad here, but I don't think that I could leave Arizona." she took a sip of the beer. "I mean, my life is over there." suddenly, they locked eyes and as Jax was about to lean in, Alex quickly looked away. "I, uh.. have something for you."
"What is it?" he asked.
"It's.." she was cut off by her phone ringing. "Hang on." she took it out of her pocket, but didn't recognize the number. She pressed the talk button. "Hello?"
"Yes, this is Chief Unser of the Charming PD.. I got your number from the motel clerk. Are you Alexandra James?"
"This is she. Just call me, Alex.. is something wrong?" she asked, getting Jax's attention.
"Is your room number 16?"
"Yes, why? What's going on?"
"I need you to come down here." Unser sighed. "There's something you should see."
"Just tell me! What happened?" Alex raised her voice. "Is Olivia okay?"
There was a long pause, before Unser spoke. "I'm sorry, Alex.. from the looks of it, the woman in here was beaten to death and the room is trashed."
"W-what?" Alex was trying to comprehend what he was telling her. "What?"
"Also, there's another body - that has not yet been identified."
Alex's jaw dropped as the phone slipped through her fingers and onto the ground."Oh, my God." she whispered.
Jax picked up the phone and started talking. "Who's this?"
"Jax?"
"Unser? What the hell happened?"
"2 victims have been beaten to death in Alex's motel room."
"Alright." Jax ran his hand down his face and groaned. "We'll be right there." Jax hung up and hopped off the table. "Alex, we gotta go." he said, putting her phone in the inside of his cut.
"I gotta.. I gotta get Murph." she trailed off.
"I'll go get her.. you wait here." then Jax rushed into the clubhouse and found Tig first. "Where's Juice?"
"Lover boy is probably in his room with Reese." he noticed the serious look on his face. "What's wrong?"
"Olivia was killed in their motel room."
"Oh, shit." Tig's eyes widened. "Where's Alex?"
"Waiting outside."
"Shit." he said, running out the door.
Jax went to Juice's room and opened the door. Both of them were sitting on his bed, talking. "Hey, we gotta go."
Juice raised his eyebrow. "Where?"
Jax glanced at Reese. "Alex needs you."
"Why? What's going on?"
"Okay." he took a deep breath. "I don't know all the details, but what I do know.. Olivia was beaten to death along with another unidentified person in your motel room."
Juice's eyes widened. "What?!"
Reese opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. After a moment, she found her voice. "No!" she cried. "Tell me you're joking!"
"I'm sorry." Jax slightly shook his head. "We're headed over there, but Alex isn't leaving without you."
Juice grabbed her hand. "Let's go."
By the time the three of them went outside, both Happy and Chibs were waiting with Tig and Alex. Reese went up to her and grabbed her by her arms, shaking her a little. "Tell me what happened to Olivia."
Alex snapped out of her daze. "Olivia is dead."
"No!" Reese yelled, as Alex gave her a hug. "No.." she sobbed.
"We need to go, Murph."
"Okay." she nodded, letting go.
"Alex.." Jax grabbed her arm. "Ride with me."
"Fine." she ripped her arm out of his grasp.
"Come on, Reese." Juice grabbed her hand and led her to his bike. She nodded, the got on behind him. After he gave her his extra helmet, she put it on and wrapped her arms around his waist, before resting her head in the middle of his back. Juice grabbed her hand and lightly squeezed. "If you need anything.. I'm here for you."
Reese slowly nodded against his back. "Thank you." she whispered.
As Jax was sitting on his bike, he watched Alex walking, as if she was on autopilot. Once she got in reaching distance, he grabbed her arm, pulling her towards him. She gave him a mean look, then slowly got on behind him. He offered her his extra helmet, but she refused. He put it on her anyway - which made her groan out loud. Right after she wrapped her arms around his waist, both them, Juice and Reese, Happy, Chibs, and Tig took off and rode over to the motel.
