Jax had cleared out all his stuff in matters of minutes. An empty feeling hung in the air. It felt if something was missing, but Dani tried to ignore the feeling. She walked up to her dog, cradling in her arm, holding him close.

"At least you won't ever cheat on me," she told Bruce, giving him a soft kiss on his head. The dog happily licked her hand, as if he was trying to sooth her, telling her everything would be alright.

Gemma's words still rang in her head, repeating over and over. Dani could not understand how she condoned this behavior, but she told herself she didn't have to. Cheating wasn't part of the relationship she wanted, so maybe she wasn't the right woman for Jax Teller after all.

She knew there was going to be a party at the clubhouse tonight, even though they had one last night. Every Thursday most of them got together to chill, drink, and apparently cheat.

Before today, Dani had to attend these parties. As an old lady that was expected of you, but she wasn't an old lady anymore. Nevertheless, she found herself wanting to go anyway. It would be a perfect opportunity to put Jax in his place, show him what he will miss. If he could have fun, so could she.

Dani had put on the tightest pair of jeans she could find. For the occasion, she also found a fancy top she had had for a long time but never got around to wearing it. Admiring herself in the mirror, she had to admit it to herself, she looked good.

While driving to the clubhouse, she started to wonder if she was actually allowed to come to these parties, since she wasn't with Jax anymore, but in the end she decided she didn't really care. They could hardly throw her out.

Before she had left, she had called Juice, telling him what was up. He had told her everything was going to be alright and that he was going to have a word with Jax. But Dani didn't think that was going to help.

Judging by the empty picnic tables outside, it appeared that everyone was inside. Perfect, Dani thought. This way she would get everyone's attention when going inside.

She lifted her head high and opened the door, feeling everyone in the room looking at her as she walked in. Dani didn't know how many people knew about their break-up, but with the outfit she was wearing she definitely got everyone's attention.

Dani spotted Juice sitting in the back, talking to Half-Sack who seemed to be off bar duty for once. She decided not to go looking for Jax, but letting him come to her, if he'd dare.

"Hey," Dani smiled, as she sat in between the two boys.

"Wow, Dani," Sack began. "You look great."

"Thanks," she nodded gratefully. It seemed like she had accomplished her mission.

"You doing alright?" Juice asked a little softly so Half-Sack wouldn't hear.

"Yeah, as good as can be expected," she replied. If she was honest, she felt like shit and she had rather stayed in bed with a tub of ice cream, her dog and a sad movie, but this felt like a better plan.

"I heard about you and Jax," Half-Sack said. "Shame."

Dani shrugged, wondering how everyone knew so fast. "Where is he anyway?"

"Who? Jax? He's over there." Sack pointed towards the other side of the room, where she indeed found Jax leaning against the wall with a pitcher of beer in his hand. To his left Ima was standing, naturally.

His eyes met hers and for a moment she saw guilt in them. Quickly she looked away. This night was about making him jealous, making him want her, not her pitying him.

A prospect she had never seen before approached her. "Can I get you a drink?" he asked her.

Looking at his patches, Dani figured he belonged to another chapter to the club. Ignoring Juice and Sack, she pushed herself up. "Yes, please," she spoke as she followed him to the bar.

The prospect was cute. He had short brown hair, and just a hint of stubble covered his face. Judging from the way his shoulders stuck out, he was built as well. Compared to Jax however, he was no match.

"What can I get you?" he asked her.

"Just a beer will do."

He waited until he got his drinks, before sliding the one for Dani over to her. She smiled faintly as she took a sip from it, hoping the alcohol would give her more courage to get through this evening.

Seeing Jax again was harder than she thought, and the fact that Ima was parading around him didn't sit well with her. Had she made a mistake? Shouldn't she have kicked him out? It was clear that she still loved him, but how could that feeling just fade away after being in love with him for so long?

"I've never seen you around before," Dani asked, trying to start a conversation and shut off her mind at the same time.

"Nah, I come with the guys from SAMDINO. Been prospecting for about half a year. I'm Felix, by the way." He offered her his hand, which she took just to be polite.

"Dani," she replied.

"Oh shit," Felix said concerned. "Jax Teller's old lady?"

"No… Not anymore," Dani replied emotionlessly.

"Thank god, I was starting to get worried for a second."

"No need to worry." Dani flashed him a smile.

"Can I just say that you look very beautiful tonight."

Normally she was not into this whole flirtatious bullshit, but tonight she decided to go with it. "Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself. Shouldn't you be tending the bar, though."

"Not tonight, baby."

She already knew she wasn't going to do anything with this guy tonight, but she could still give him the illusion that she was.

Minutes passed while talking to the guy. Dani pretended to be interested, giggling at every joke he made. It was surprising how easy this guy was, the only thing she had to do was laugh and look pretty. Deep inside she knew what she was doing was wrong. But she wanted to let Jax know what it felt like.

She took a sip from her beer, realizing her glass was empty. In a small amount of time she had drank the entire glass. This was very unlike her, as she never drank much. A little confused she pushed the glass away from her, hoping Felix wouldn't ask if she wanted another one.

From the corner of her eyes she saw Chibs approaching. Dani's heart started to race as it became clear he was heading towards them.

"I suggest you take a walk, kid," he spoke sternly with his thick Scottish accent.

"What?" the prospect said a little dumbfounded.

Dani, too, was surprised by what Chibs was saying.

"You heard me. Go."

Felix frowned, but as a prospect he couldn't say no. Giving her one last look, he disappeared outside, leaving the two of them behind.

"Chibs, what the fuck," Dani hissed, wondering what was going on.

"Just trying to protect you, darling," Chibs replied.

"From who? Did Jax set you up to do this?"

Chibs cocked his head to the right. "He's really sorry, Dani."

"He cheated on me, but I can't talk to other guys?"

"His orders, not mine."

Dani raised her eyebrows. Her plan had worked. Jax had gotten jealous, even sending someone after the guy who was talking to her. She turned her head to look around the room, trying to see where he was spying on her, but he appeared to be nowhere in sight.

"Whatever, I'm going home. Tell Jax to stay away, okay?"

The night air felt chilly on her skin and she immediately regretted not taking a jacket with her. Slowly Dani started rubbing her arms as she stepped outside.

"Leaving already?" a voice she didn't want to hear said.

Dani turned her head towards Ima, her face showing no emotion. Ima was sitting on one of the picnic tables, smoking a cigarette. She looked as slutty as always.

"I heard you're not Jax's old lady anymore," she continued.

"So?" Dani snapped. She just really wanted to go home and lie in bed. Ima even had the talent to ruin the small things.

Ima shrugged, a devious smile playing on her lips. "You tell me."

Dani scoffed while she took a step forward closer to her. "Don't touch him, okay?"

"That's not for you to decide anymore. You gave up that right."

The tone in Ima's voice was what bothered Dani the most. She knew the whore would try to get with Jax, she probably never even stopped trying while they were together. This whole scenario was just perfect for her.

"I'll fucking kill you if you touch him," Dani warned. "Have I made myself clear?"

What was Jax doing to her? Even after they split up he managed to have some sort of hold over her. Was she not ready to give him up yet?

"I'd like to see you try," Ima laughed, her shoulder brushing roughly against hers as she headed inside.

Dani had to try and oppress her frustrations as she was driving home. Ima had really gotten her blood boiling and she had to get out of there before she did anything stupid. It wasn't the first time an argument between her and Ima had escalated.

She swung the door open, ready to immediately get into bed. This day had gone on long enough. However her eyes fell on someone sitting on her couch.

"Jesus Christ, Gemma. What are you doing here?" she exclaimed after identifying her.

"I wanted to talk to you," she spoke, like it was the most normal thing in the world. Dani immediately regretted giving her a spare set of keys.

"A call would've sufficed."

She threw her bag on the table, sitting down next to Gemma. Dani knew she couldn't get rid of her before she had that talk she so desperately wanted.

"This is important. It's about you and Jax."

"What about it?" Dani said, sighing softly. She hoped she could've dropped the topic for at least today.

Bruce jumped on the couch, nestling himself on Dani's lap. At least someone would never leave her.

"He still loves you, you know that, right?" Gemma started. "You can't turn your back towards him, not now, not with Abel."

"Oh, so he can cheat and come away with it? I don't think so. I'm gonna let him suffer for some time."

Dani had to admit she really missed him, even after such short time, but she wasn't ready to give in, not yet. He had a lot to prove and to make up to her.

"He fucked up! Probably will never do it again."

"How will I now this for sure? Cheating may sit alright with other old ladies, but not with me."

"You never know for sure. That's what keeps us old ladies on our toes."

Dani buried her face in her hands, not sure what to make of this. After seeing him tonight, she had to admit that she was still very much in love with him, making everything more complicated.

She wanted him back. He was everything she wanted. But how could a relationship work when she could not trust him around other women?

"You are the only one who he has ever really loved, Dani."

"Please don't make it even harder than it already is," she replied, sighing softly.

A/N: I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, hopefully you enjoyed reading it as well :) Also a big thanks for the reviews!

I also want to address the cheating part. You don't have to worry about him doing it again (at least not any time soon). I try to think of as many storylines as I possible can to not make my fic repetitive. Him cheating over and over again must be very boring to read, and also to write. Unless I run out of ideas he might cheat again, but let's just assume that I won't ;) There are a lot of things I want to incorporate in this story and none of them involve cheating (again), so don't you worry :D

Anyway, please leave a review to let me know what your thoughts were about Dani's behavior in this chapter, or about the chapter itself. See you next time! :)
