Up until now things haven't really changed but I didn't like what happened in the story so this chapter is were I have made some major changes.

Chapter 5- Cold As You

You have a way of coming easily to me

And when you take, you take the very best of me

So I start a fight 'cause I need to feel somethin'

And you do what you want 'cause I'm not what you wanted

Oh, what a shame

What a rainy ending given to a perfect day

Just walk away

Ain't no use defending words that you will never say

And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through

I've never been anywhere cold as you

You put up the walls and paint them all a shade of gray

And I stood there loving you, and wished them all away

And you come away with a great little story

Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

Cold as You by Taylor Swift

I pulled into the T-M, still not sure what I was going to say to Happy. We hadn't really I talked since I arrived in Charming. Shit was hitting the roof here and Happy didn't seem to be going back to Tacoma any time soon. With him here I really had no reason to go back to Tacoma, there was nothing there for me.

I stepped out of the car. I hadn't met any of the guys before, just Jax and Clay, so I was unsure about who I should ask about Happy's whereabouts. As I walled over to the garage two men came out. They were both tall, one had dark hair that had grey streaks in it, he had two distinctive scars on each side of his mouth. The other had dark black curly hair and amazing blue eyes, bug no matter how amazing they looked they held a craziness within them that unsettled me.

"What ye here for love?" Asked the one with the scars in a distinctive Scottish accent

"Is Happy around?" I asked

"No he's not here right now, you want me to give him a message?"

"No thanks" I said relieved by the fact he wasn't here

"Your Oliver's other sister aren't you? asked the other man

"Yeah that's me, I'm Layla"

"I'm Chibbs and this is Tig" said the Scotsman

"How are you and your sister doing?" Asked Tig, the other man shocked by his question

"We're fine, thanks"

"How long ye staying?" Asked chibbs

"As long as I want, I have a week off of work and I'm pretty sure Roxy is planning on staying for awhile" I said, Tig letting out a relieved breath when I mentioned Roxy staying.

"Well I've got to go now so I'll see you guys another time" I said

"Sure thing, have a good day, you and your sister" said Tig

"It was nice meeting you both" I said as I walled back to my car.

I started to drive back to the house, there was definitely something odd about Tig's concern for my sister, she would have to answer a lot of questions.

I parked on the street outside Oliver's house, his bike and Roxy's car had taken up the driveway. Looks like he had finally come back to face me. I walked inside, Roxy and Oliver were sitting at the table. They stopped talking after they heard me walk in.

"How did talking with Happy go?" Asked Roxy, getting up from the table but Oliver stayed sitting.

"He wasn't there" I said keeping my eyes locked on Oliver

Roxy excused herself, realizing that Oliver and I had some serious talking to do.

"So did you know, about Happy?" I asked sitting down opposite him

"I had a hunch, I didn't want you coming down. You know how this goes, 'what happens on a run stays on a run', I didn't want you to get pissed off and dump a guy because of your shit ass brother" he said looking down at the table.

"Thank you for the concern, I know there's something else your hiding but I'll let it slide for now, you're off the hook. So you can stop avoiding me" I said getting up from the table

"I wasn't avoiding you, I was busy at the club" he argued back

"Whatever you say, now I have to speak with our little sister" I said walking off, leaving Oliver somewhat confused.

Roxy was folding up clothes in the laundry, I leant on the doorway.

"You practicing to be an Old Lady are you?" I asked mockingly "You know when I showed up at the garage I met two of the bikers" I said

"Really, who?" She asked

"Tig and Chibbs" I said

"What did they say?"

"Not much, told me Happy wasn't there, but Tig did show some surprising concern for you, asked how you were. Mind you he did it somewhat subtly. Now, I'm either spot on or way off, which one?"

She sighed, putting the washing into the basket and turning around to look up at me.

"I'll take that as a yes" I said

"Are you going to tell me what a bad guy he is and how I could do so much better?" She asked

"No, you're a big girl, you can make your own decisions, just think things through okay" I said honestly

"I will, I promise

"Besides, look at who I'm with" I said quietly and Roxy laughed "So, what is it? Are you going to be his Old Lady, or is it just some fun. I don't want to see you have your heart broken by some asshole" I questioned

"I don't know, it's fun, and I think it could be something. We'll figure it out" she said

"Figure it out soon" I warned

"Hey Layla, Chibbs just called, said Hap's at the clubhouse if you still want to talk" called out Oliver from the kitchen

"I guess I have to go figure my shit out, wish me luck" I said

I walked out of the house, got in the car and drove to the clubhouse.

As soon as I arrived at the clubhouse Chibbs pointed me towards Happy's dorm. I decided to knock instead of barging in. He opened it, letting me past him and into the room. I sat down on his bed.

"Why'd you knock, you never do?" He asked

"Wasn't sure if I should just barge in" I explained

"What, did you think I'd have a crow eater in here" he asked angrily

The thought had past through my mind but I knew he would get angrier if I told him that and that was not what I wanted nor needed.

"No, just, lets talk, please" I asked, almost pleaded

He sat down on the bed next to me, our eyes locked, they were guarded, something I hadn't seen from him in a long time. He was never guarded around me. He grabbed my face and pulled me into a kiss. I reached up to his cut, pulling him closer to me. I didn't know how much I missed his touch, the feelings it gave me. He pulled away, resting his forehead against mine.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked

I moved away from him, I couldn't have this conversation and be that close to him.

"About what I said before you left" I said, my eyes never leaving his face

He groaned in response, moving further away from me. I reached out my hand and put it on his shoulder.

"You knew this was coming since I arrived in Charming, just let me talk" I pleaded

"No need, you've said you're bit, ain't nothing more to it" he said

"What the hell does that mean?" I said angrily, getting up from the bed to stand in front of him

"It means whatever you think it does"

"Stop being so vague, your not making any sense" I yelled getting angrier by the second

"What do you want me to say?" He yelled, getting up from the bed

"I want you to tell me the truth, tell me what you want Happy, or I swear to God I will walk put that door and I won't be coming back" I sscreamed

This was it, the crunching point. What Happy was about to say would determine our future. And I wasn't sure what I wanted him to say.

"Layla, I" Happy started saying before a knock on the door interrupted him.

"Church, you need to come" said Tig before closing the door behind him

"We'll talk later" he said before rushing out

I walked out of Happy's dorm, pissed off at being interrupted. We could never catch a break. Every time we were close to sorting everything out club business came up. I was so deep in thought that I wasn't looking where I was going, causing me to crash into someone. I looked up to see familiar blue eyes staring back at me.

"You okay darling?" Asked Jax, gripping my arms to stop me from falling

"Yeah, I'm okay, sorry about banging into you, I wasn't looking where I was going" I said staring at the floor

"Obviously, deep in thought were you?"

"Yeah I guess I was" I said letting out a strangled laugh

"Want to talk about it?" He asked

This caused me to finally look up at him. His blue eyes were filled with concern, for me. He was worried about me. My heart started beating faster, I had to stop myself from getting lost in his eyes.

"Shouldn't you be in Church?" I asked, looking away from him

"Yeah I guess I should, rain check?" He asked causing me to laugh

"Sure, rain check" I said smiling

"See you later" he said

He started to walk away before turning back around a kissing my cheek. He then walked into Church, leaving me standing there stunned. I turned around and walked to my car missing the eyes looking on who had seen the whole thing, before driving back to Oliver's house, a smile etched permanently on my face.

I pulled into Olivers driveway, his bike was gone, he had obviously left for Church already. Roxy was home which meant I had to face her millions of questions, all of which I didn't want to answer, mostly because I didn't know the answer. Like what was going to happen with Happy and I, or what my feelings for Jax were. Roxy was waiting at the table when I walked in.

"So how did it go?" She asked

"It didn't, he had to leave for Church before we could talk" I said sitting down

"So you just came home, why didn't you wait for Church to finish?" She asked

"Because he would probably have to go deal with club business after, why does this bother you so much?" I asked, getting angry

"Because its upsetting you and I'm kind of sick of you moping about"

"I'm not moping" I yelled back at her, I didn't mope

"Layla, you miss him, I know you've barely slept, I hear you tossing and turning every night" she said

She was right, I hadn't really slept since back in Tacoma, it was starting to take a toll on me, there were bags under my eyes. I just couldn't stop thinking for a second to actually allow myself to sleep.

"You're right, as soon as I can see him I will" I said

"Good, because he's coming back here after Church" she said

"WHAT!" I yelled

"Oliver is telling him to come" she said calmly

"You brought Oliver into this" I whined

"He brought himself into it, he's worried about you to, now quit your whining and think about what you're going to say to Happy" she said bluntly

The thought of my somewhat idiotic brother sticking his nose where it didn't belong was enough to piss me off, but on top of the shit going on with Happy I was now not even angry. I was just tired. Tired of getting hurt, tired of constantly worrying about Happy, tired of being confused. Everything was tiring now, these feeling were exhausting.

I waited at the house for Happy to show up. Roxy had left to go to the shops, although the real reason was to give me some space so that Happy and I could talk. I heard the familiar rumble of a motorbike, causing a smile to creep onto my face. I got up and opened the door, Happy just walked through, avoiding eye contact with me. He walked into the kitchen, he had obviously never been inside Oliver's house as he was looking around, checking out his surroundings.

"Do you want something to drink?" I asked

"I'm good" he said walking over to me

Happy sat down at the table across from me, we sat in silence for awhile, just staring at each other.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked

"Where are we at? You and me" I asked

"Look, Layla, you knew what I was like when you got into this. I'm not some knight in shining armour, I'm not gonna marry you and we live happily ever after" he growled

"I know that, I don't want you to change" I yelled

"Good, cause I'm not"

"I know who you are Happy, I know what you do, and I'm okay with that. But I can't help but feel like I'm wasting my time" I said pushing back the tears

"Wasting your time, what the hell doesn't that mean?" He asked angrily

"Like you said Hap, your not going to marry me, you don't want kids. I'm not saying that I want to get married, because I don't. But I do want children, and if you don't"

"Whatever, I've got shit to do, see you later" he said getting up and pushing the chair over, storming out the and slamming the door behind him.

I finally let the tears out, they flowed down my cheeks and it seemed like they would never stop. After what seemed like forever Roxy came back. She took me to my bedroom and I laid down on the bed. Roxy whispered comforting words to me but I couldn't hear anything she said, I just kept replaying what Happy had said in my head over and over again.
