When she heard his bike pulling up on her driveway, Dani quickly hurried outside. She had to step over Luke's body, who was still laying on the kitchen floor, softly mumbling to himself. To be safe, she had locked Bruce in her bedroom.

He had come as soon as she had called him. She knew he was the only one who would be able to help her.

She ran outside and waited until Jax got off his bike. "He's in the kitchen," she said, trying her best not to sound panicky. Her heart was racing through her chest and she was still trying to come to grips with what had happened.

Jax nodded and walked past her, continuing on inside. Dani struggled to keep up with his fast pace.

"He's right there," Dani spoke, pointing to the kitchen ground.

Jax kneeled besides Luke, pushing him over slightly to inspect the damage.

"Who are you?" Luke asked, his voice cracked.

"Shut up before I change my mind about helping you," Jax spoke, a definite tone of anger in his voice.

Dani suddenly felt very guilty about calling him. This was her date and her problem, yet in that moment of panic, the first reaction she had was calling Jax.

"Where did you meet this guy?" he asked her, not even bothering to look her in the eye.

"The internet…," Dani mumbled.

"If I had known you were some fucking psycho I'd never would've gone and meet you in real life!" Luke hissed from the ground.

Jax gave him a push, right where the bullet wound was. "Don't talk to her like that or this will get a lot uglier than it already is."

His threat made the butterflies in her stomach flutter. Dani made a mental note to apologize to him for all of this once it was over. What she was asking from him wasn't fair, yet here he was, helping her out once more.

"Unlock your car," Jax ordered. "Let's get him to the clubhouse, Chibs can patch him up."

Dani nodded before grabbing her car keys and quickly disappearing outside. Her heart was beating in her chest as she unlocked her car and reared it so it was closer to the house. Jax appeared in the doorway, dragging Luke behind him. Without any trouble he lifted him in the car, and sat down in the passenger's seat.

"Drive," he ordered.

Dani didn't dare to say anything and did what her was told. She put her foot down and let the car accelerate. The sooner they reached the clubhouse, the better.

"So you went on a date with him?" Jax spoke after a little while. Luke seemed to be occupied with not crying in pain to respond.

"Yeah, it was a stupid idea," Dani replied, making a right turn.

"Why did you even do it anyway?"

Dani had said the words before she even realized what exactly she had said. "To forget you, I guess."

A little surprise by her own honesty, Dani decided to keep her eyes fixed on the road. She didn't dare to look at him. I shouldn't have said that, she thought.

"Are we there yet?" Luke moaned from the backseat.

Jax and Dani spoke simultaneously. "Shut up!"

Sack and Juice dragged Luke inside. They followed him closely, not speaking a word to each other. Dani began to realize she was bringing all of SAMCRO into this, she was risking all of their lives. If someone found them right now, they would probably all head to jail.

"Put him on the table," Jax said, pointing to one of the work tables in the garage. Juice immediately ran out to call Chibs.

"What the fuck is going on here?" Clay spoke as he watched them in the door opening.

"Dani shot him," Jax replied. "With an illegal gun."

Clay raised his eyebrows before disappearing again. It was obvious he wasn't happy about them being here and Dani began to wonder if calling Jax had been a smart idea. What if she got him into trouble by doing this?

Chibs came soon enough. He moved closer to Luke and inspected the wound. "Prospect, get the medical kit," he spoke. "This should be easy enough to fix."

Dani nodded gratefully, standing by in case they needed help.

"Get a bottle of alcohol, will you darling? He's gonna need it."

She quickly slipped past them and headed for the bar, grabbing the first bottle of alcohol she could find. The label said it was some kind of whiskey, which she guessed would suffice.

"Here you go," she said while handing Luke the bottle. He hadn't spoken much, but eagerly took a few gulps. He let out a sigh after the liquor had entered his body.

"Who is this anyway?" Chibs asked. He ripped Luke's shirt apart so he could access the wound more easily.

"My date…" Dani said a little uneasy, her eyes locking with Jax's. She quickly shifted her gaze back to the bullet wound.

"Date?!" Chibs asked.

"Yeah, don't ever mention it again."

And after that no one mentioned it again. Chibs worked on the getting the bullet out, while Juice and the prospect stood by, ready to help. Jax wandered around restlessly, disappearing inside the clubhouse every now and again and reappearing moments later.

For the first time this evening Luke didn't speak a word. Occasionally he took a sip from the bottle of alcohol, but apart from that he did not make a sound. Dani also figured he was a little intimidated by all the 'bikers' around him. She hadn't quite told him about her affiliation with the club, so this must've come as quite a surprise.

"Got it!" Chibs said with a satisfied smile, holding the tweezers up to show them the slug.

Dani extended her arm so he could drop the bullet on a plate.

"Just need to stitch up the wound and then you are good to go."

Luke didn't reply. But Dani knew he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. One thing she knew for sure was that she was never going to hear anything from him again. After bringing him to the clubhouse, he'd probably wouldn't dare ever going to the police with this, and otherwise they still had the time to make that clear to him.

She turned her torso to look where Jax was going. He was heading inside again, shutting the door behind him with a loud bang, making her jump a little.

They all got quiet when they heard Clay yelling inside. He didn't sound happy. He didn't sound happy at all. Dani tried to listen to what they were saying but it was hard to make out.

When she heard her own name her heart stopped beating. Were they fighting about this?

She took in a deep breath, trying to ignore Jax and Clay's fight, but it was hard not to hear their constant battle.

"Don't worry about it, darling. Clay would've done the same if you were Gemma," Chibs reassured her.

His words reassured her a little, but Dani couldn't help but feel extremely guilty for this. Deep inside she knew she called Jax because he'd immediately help her out. In that moment of panic he was the only one who she knew would do anything without questioning her. That was also one of the reasons she loved him.

The fighting seemed to have stopped and Jax appeared again. "Are you done?" he asked Chibs, standing next to him with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"Yeah," Chibs nodded.

"Okay, then let's get him the fuck out of here," Jax said. "Sack, you're with me."

Half-Sack dropped the medical supplies he was carrying and immediately went to stand by Jax's side, before helping Luke up.

Jax moved closer to Dani. He's face screamed anger, and she was a little afraid he would tell her off.

"I'll pick you up after I dropped him off, okay? I'll make sure this doesn't blow back on you."

"Thank you," Dani mumbled, but he had already disappeared.

Dani waited in the garage until Jax returned to pick her up. She would've gone inside the clubhouse, but to be honest she was a little scared to run into Clay. He clearly wasn't happy about her calling Jax, so she thought it was best to avoid him while this all cooled down.

Juice was keeping her company. First they cleaned up all the medical supplies after Chibs had gone inside to clean his bloody hands. After that they just sat around waiting for Jax.

"So you really shot him, huh?" Juice asked.

"Yeah," Dani nodded. It still seemed to unreal to her. She had shot a real person. It had happened by accident, but still.

"Where did you get the gun anyway?"

"Gemma," she replied.

Juice nodded. From who else could she have gotten it?

It made her wonder what Gemma would make out of all this. Dani wouldn't be surprised if she applauded her actions and told her she had done the exact same thing as she would've done. The only difference was that Dani had shot him by accident and not on purpose.

A car entered the lot and drove to the front. That was them. Dani immediately shot up and moved closer to the open garage door. Half-Sack had gotten out of the car and jogged towards her.

"He's waiting for you in the car," he told her.

"Thank you for helping me out," Dani told him before he was able to walk past her. SAMCRO had all come together to help her. It was way too much to ask of them yet they hadn't backed down.

"No problem!"

A little nervous, Dani made her way over to the car. Various scenarios of what Jax was going to say shot through her mind, making her only more anxious than she already was. The thing she had said earlier that day wasn't meant for his ears, yet she couldn't stop herself from saying it.

She slipped on the passenger seat. Jax immediately drove off when she had pulled the door close. Dani didn't dare to speak before he spoke.

"It's been taking care of," he finally said when they left the parking lot.

"That's good," Dani nodded.

She couldn't walk around with this guilt forever. Before she changed her mind, Dani continued to speak.

"Jax, I'm really sorry for bringing you into this. I know I shouldn't have called you but your number was the first one that came to mind. I know Clay was really angry about this and I'll promise I'll never do something like this again."

"What, going on dates or shooting people?"

For a moment Dani thought he was being serious, but when she turned her head to face him she noticed something that looked like a smirk playing on his lips.

"Both I guess," she replied relieved. So he wasn't angry with her?

"The date itself wasn't exactly a success either."

"Good thing you shot him then," Jax chuckled.

"So you're not mad with me?" Dani asked to be sure. She needed a little clarity here.

"Dani, I told you some time ago you could come to me with anything. I had to keep my word on that one."

"What about Clay?"

"He'll come around. Don't worry about it."

Her house was a very welcome sight after everything that had happened that evening. During the date with Luke she didn't think it could be much worse, but man, had she been wrong.

Jax's bike was still standing on her driveway, so he got out of the car as well. Dani waited as he made his way over to her, handing her the keys.

"Thank you so much for helping me out, Jax," Dani began. "I don't know what I would've done without you."

"Anytime, babe," he spoke with a soft smile.

His hand lingered on hers when he gave her the keys, and when he moved his head closer Dani couldn't bring it to stop herself.

Giving in to her desires, she let her lips crash against his. It was unimaginable how much she had missed this. Her hands moved to his neck while she mad sure she didn't stab him with the set of keys she was holding.

His hands slid down from the small of her back to her ass and back up again. How could this feel so good when it was supposed to feel so wrong? Dani couldn't contain herself as Jax began to lead her inside.

Maybe this wasn't the smartest idea, but after everything that had happened it seemed like the best idea she had had today. If the date with Luke had made one thing clear, it was that no one could replace Jackson Teller.

A/N: Thanks for all your comments, I loved reading them. I also really liked writing this chapter :) I have currently planned up to chapter 30, so you can expect at least 7 more chapters :) I'm 98% sure I'll continue after that (because chapter 30 basically written around the final ep of S1), because I still have a lot of story lines I would like to cover.

Anyways, please let me know what you thought of this chapter! I guess Jax and Dani are one step closer to coming back together, right? ;)
