- Hale's P.O.V -

I was just sitting in my car when I noticed the young woman lying spread eagled on the bench a few feet away. I sped up my car and quickly jumped out of the car. I made sure to feel for a pulse. (Thank God) There was one there, faint, but there. I picked her up and placed her in the back of the car. I threw her bad on the chair next to me and turned my sirens on speeding to St. Thomas. I looked in the rear view mirror and caught a glimpse of her. I knew her, it was Chibs' kid.

I arrived at St. Thomas within 10 minuets and she was wheeled off to get her stomach pumped. I headed back out and headed to Teller Morrow. As I stepped out of the car I was greeted by the unfriendly faces of SAMCRO.

"What the hell you want Hale?"

"Hello to you too Clay. Actually I'm here about Jaime..." Everone stopped talking and Chibs appeared from nowhere and said...

"Whats up? She been in an accidenct?"

"She hasn't been in an accident" they all sighed with relief "but..." they all seemed to listen more intently. "I found her on a bench not far from CARACARA studios. It looked like she had taken an overdose. I found these..." I produced the painkillers and handed them to Tara who was examining them "and a half bottle of vodka lying next to her. She's at St. Thomas now getting her stomach pumped, but they don't know how many she took or how strong they are...I'm sorry." I really was. I had seen her around over the years and knew she was a good kid.

-Jaime's P.O.V -

"Go away, what part of I hate all of you didn't you under stand?" I croacked, my throat felt really dry and rough but I guess thats what happens when you get your stomach pumped. I looked at Half Sack and just felt all the betrayel come rushing back.

"I know I'm sorry but he said that you said its ok..." I snorted.

"Why would I have said its ok for him to get a blow job off another girl?"

"Well technically you said yous wouldn't be ok if he nailed another girl, he only got a blow job." My eyes narrowed at this comment.

"If I could actually move I would give you another black eye to match that one..." My pitch changed from angry to hurt. Turning my head away "Please...Sack just leave." He nodded and left I just started crying. I was leaving this place I never wanted to see any of them again. I looked up to see Juice standing there talking to Sack. I closed my eyes and pretened to be sleeping. I heard the room door open and close.

"Jaime...Look I know you can hear me just like I know your not really sleeping cause when your really sleeping your eyes flicker and also your jaw is clenched..."

"Trying to make me feel better with creepy facts? Juice I don't want to talk to you, ok so could everyone please just leave me alone!" I shouted the last part which alerted the nurse standing outside me room and she ushered Juice out.

I fell back asleep and woke up the next morning to find Jax sitting on the chair next to my bed. Him, Gemma and Tara were the only ones I was talking to. I even phoned Cherry and told her everything that happened. She offerend me a place to stay in Ireland and that was exactly where I was headed, once I got out of this hospital.

"Whats up Jax?"

"Jaime I have some really bad news... Its about your dad..." I felt all the colour from face drain as he explained what happened my brain couldn't register. I heard a noise that was new to me it sounded like some kind of animal wailing, I noticed that Juice had came running in and thats when I realised I was the wailing animal.

"No,no, no! He can't die! He wouldn't know how much I really loved him if he did. I cant handle it. Please I need to go see him." Jax and Juice helped me to the room he was in. I sat on the chair next to his bed, I took his hand in mine. I hated seeing him like this, so weak and helpless.

"We'll leave you alone." Jax whispered and I nodded.

"Dad. If you can hear me, I'm sorry please don't hate me." I could barely get the words out because I was crying so much. Eventually the nurse came and told me it was time to leave.

I went back to my room and realised just how selfish I was being. Sure I had felt betrayed but I knew what I signed up for in my heart of hearts. I knew the lifestyle they had.

Lying down I went back to that night and realised that if any of them thought I would have acted this way they wouldn't have let Juice do what he did... I didn't blame them anymore, I was ready to forgive and move on. Nearly losing someone you care about makes you see things differently. I lifted up the hospital gown and glanced at my hip where my crow tattoo was. I knew what it meant. Even if Juice went off and had sex with other people or got his dick sucked by tarts I would be the one waking up to him, I would be the one who he comes home to, I am the one he loves. I put my gown down, smiled to myself and closed my eyes.

I was awoken in the morning by the nurse coming in to take some blood, running some tests. I winced as she put the needles into my arm.

"Don't like needles then I take it?"

"Do you?"

"Good point, in all fairness no-one likes needles, but its necessary." I grinned at her and she let out a laugh.

"Yeah it does help actually. Thats it all done." She got up and started to walk away then stopped and turned round. "Oh! I forgot to mention your dads awake. Hes been asking for you." The nurse left and I practically jumped out of the bed. I walked into the room he was in, he looked at me. I couldn't tell if he was happy to see me or not though.

"Jaime... I'm sorry I didn't..." I walked over to his bed and placed my hand on his cutting him off.

"Dad, honestly don't worry about it. I knew what I was getting into. Its just hard to ignore when its right in your face." He smiled and we sat talking for ages. I stayed in his room all day. Tara was in and out a couple of times but none of the Sons had appeared to see how he was doing.

I was just sitting readingThe Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring while my dad watched the TV when Gemma came into the room.

"Gemma! Hows everyone been?" Chibs exclaimed. I glanced up from my book setting it down next to me.

"Should be more worried about how you're doing." She walked over to the bed and fluffed Chibs' pillow. ."Actually thats why I'm here Chibs. The guys have been arrested, Well except Opie,Piney and Half Sack, assault charges. They're in jail."

"What the hell did they do?" I cried, standing up.

"They tried to attack Zobelle at one of his rallys. They thought it would be full of Westons guys." She looked at me.

"It wasn't." I stated plainly.

"No, it wasn't. It was full of men, women and children. Families." She gave Chibs a hug, before walking over to me and doing the same. "I'm sorry for all the bad news this week, but this shits about to get worse before it gets better. Get better, both of yous." And she left.

"I'm going to go to bed." I got up walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Love you." and I left the room. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out for it. I had nightmares all through the night, thinking about them in jail. Juice would not be able to handle jail. He was soo going to end up with some black guy trying to get up his ass. Or worse...

As soon as I woke up I knew something bad was going to happen today. I just didn't know what. One good thing that was happening was that I was getting out of hospital. I visited my dad for a few hours that day again.(I hadn't spent this much time with him...ever) After the accident I enjoyed spending time with people I cared about. I grabbed a pack of smokes from my dads jacket and headed out. I had arranged for Half Sack to come and pick me up.

I headed outside the hospital I lit up. I hadn't had a smoke in days and I definately needed one. I sat down on the bench next to the hospital enjoying my smoke when I noticed David Hale approaching.

"How you doing now?" He called to me, while taking strides closer.

"Yeah I'm ok... well physically at least." I half smiled at him. He was now standing next to me looking down.

"Hows your dad doing?"

"Hes still critical but hes awake so thats good news. Heard anything about Juice and the rest of them?"

"Yeah the bail is a $500,000 a head. Making the total a seven figure number."

"What? Thats bullshit!"

"Thats exactly what Gemma said when she heard. Listen I'm really sorry about all this." He kind of smiled then headed back to his car.

"Hey! Hale!" I ran up to him." Thanks... For you know... saving my life. I appreciate it." He nodded and drove on. I dropped my smoke on the ground and crushed it with my feet. I heard the sound of a motorcycle coming closer...

/ A couple of hours later /

I was just sitting in the clubhouse drinking with Sack, I had apologised to him for being such a bitch, when the phone started to ring. Sack answered he was on the phone for about five minuets when he sat down opposite me. All colour was gone from his face.

"Sack whats up? Is it dad?" I asked barely hiding the panick in my voice. He shook his head.

"N-n-no...nope."

"Then what is it?" My voice rasing. He flinched (prbobally thought I was going to punch him again).

"Umm... it-it's Juice."

"What about Juice?" By now I had stood up and was standing over him. He looked up at me. His eyes were full of pity. I hadn't realised but now I was shaking.

"He's been stabbed. Twice. One of the Aryans." I took a deep breathe and then headed to my room in the clubhouse. I looked under my bed to find that the gun Gemma had given me was still there. She gave the gun to me while Bobby was inside, she also taught me how to shoot and I knew the perfect target.
