Chapter 2
Morgan was seated in the backseat between Juice and Happy, with Jax driving and Gemma sitting in the front seat. The alcohol she had consumed on the plane was now making her head hurt a dull ache that would get worse before it got better.
"What's the plan?" Morgan asked.
"I got a list of colleges that you can take some online classes until we can get you into school here." Gemma answered. "You are going to help out in the afternoon in the office at the repair shop and all day on Saturday."
"Mom said that I was going to stay with you." Morgan stated.
Before Gemma could answer there was a loud rendition of the chorus of "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry from Morgan's purse from the truck area behind her.
"Shit!" Morgan swore. As quick as she could move she turned around in the seat and bent over the backseat reaching for her bag as the music continued to play.
Morgan snatched her purse over and dug in pulling out her phone. She quickly swiped the screen to answer the call, but before she could say a word the phone was snatched out of her hand.
"What the fuck?" she exclaimed and turned to face the person that's arm had just snatched her phone. "That's mine!"
Morgan had turned just in time to see the phone get passed to Jax. He then popped the back off the back of the phone and pulled the battery out.
"No contact from anyone at home." Gemma told her, as Jax threw the battery out the window, her then was slid into his pocket.
"Really?" Morgan asked, shocked and mad. "You can't be serious?"
Morgan was still kneeling on the backseat, too shocked to move. No one at home had ever dared to snatch something out of her hand, much less tell her no."
"The only contact you will have with anyone from there is via one of the prepaid phones and it will only be your Mother or Bo." Gemma told her, authority and firmness ringing in her voice. "You were sent here to get your shit straight and away from the fuck-ups you call friends."
"BULLSHIT!" Morgan exclaimed. "I am being sent to this po-dunk fucking town and I CAN'T TALK TO MY FRIENDS!"
"You weren't sent here for vacation." Gemma said calmly, her voice level. "If you behave and act like a normal person your age that works and earns what she had then we can reevaluate your position here. Charming is not a po-dunk town and watch your attitude."
Morgan's mouth dropped in surprise, she actually going to have to work here. She thought that it was a joke when Bo and her Mother told her that they were sending her away to learn "Values".
Seeing the stunned look on Morgan's face in the rearview mirror, Jax started to laugh. "Sit down before you cause me to wreck or get pulled over."
Morgan narrowed her eyes, pissed off, it did not help that she realized she was practically on top of Happy. Having ended up there when she tried to snatch her phone back. She looked into his face and saw the smirk on his face and that added fuel to the fire inside her.
Taking both her hands and placing them on his chest, she shoved herself off of him. "ASSHOLE!"
Juice sucked in his breathe loudly when she shoved Happy and tensed up, not sure how Happy would respond to what she had done. But he had nothing to worry about since Happy actually laughed at her, joining in with Jax.
Morgan quickly adjusted her body to where she was sitting back down in the middle of the two men with her arms crossed over her chest. She knew that she was behaving like a spoilt child but she did not care.
"Douche Lord!" she exclaimed and quickly kicked the back of Jax's seat.
"Morgan, knock off the shit!" Gemma told her.
Morgan started to spit out something nasty but stopped, that was what they expected. She was sure that Gemma planned something to punish her if she did say one more nasty word. Instead Morgan thought of Sugar's words "You get more flies with Honey than Vinegar."
Morgan smiled sweetly, "Yes, Mam."
Her sugary sweet tone and words made the car suddenly get quiet. Gemma turned around in the front seat and looked at her, even Jax looked at her in the rearview mirror.
"You are absolutely right, Aunt Gemma." Morgan said with a smile. "I am here to get myself on the right path."
Gemma looked at her and narrowed her eyes looking to see if she could see what Morgan was up to by her facial expression. Not seeing anything that was obvious Gemma turned back around.
Morgan knew that if she continued acting up in the car she would never get a free moment. She had to make a plan to use the tools that she had hidden on her. Her Mother and Bo had no idea that Sugar had slipped her several credit cards and an envelope of cash at the airport. They thought that they had taken all of them away from her.
Morgan would stay in Charming but she was going to live the way she wanted to. All she had to do was play their game until she could flip the court to her advantage.
