Chapter 4

Just like a star across my sky

Just like an angel off the page

You have appeared to my life

Feel like I'll never be the same

Just like a song in my heart

Just like oil on my hands

Only to love you

A few days later, Haley burst out laughing as she shoved Jax away from her car. He'd convinced her that they should wash it, but it hadn't taken long for it to turn into an all out fight. She'd been back a week and she'd been stuck with someone from the club all hours of the day and night. Usually, it was Jax, which was what led to the car washing.

Jax sprayed her with the hose and she screamed as she ran at him. Haley hit him over the head with a sponge, laughing as the soap ran down his face. Jax yanked the sponge out of her hands and tossed it aside. Haley yelped as Jax wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close. He held the hose over her head and let run down her face. Haley grabbed the end of the hose and sprayed Jax in the face with it. She twisted in his arms, her back pressing against his chest.

"What are you two doing," Piney demanded as he climbed out of his truck.

Haley and Jax froze and stared up at him. Haley glanced down and noticed the way her shirt was clinging to her body. She knew Jax wasn't any better.

"Washing her car, what are you doing," Jax shot back with a smirk.

"You're wastin water dipshits," Piney snapped before going inside the house.

"We're almost done," Haley said quickly. She pulled away from Jax, wincing slightly. She took the hose from Jax and finished rinsing the car off. Jax watched her for a moment before beginning to dry the car.

Another car pulled up and Jax let out a groan. Haley glanced up and saw Gemma climbing out. Jax and Haley exchanged a glance as she came toward them.

"What are you two up to," Gemma asked.

"Just washin the car ma," Jax said with a shrug.

"That all you doin?"

"Yep, that's it," Haley said as she shut the water off.

"Good, because we are going shopping."

"Ma, I don't want to go shopping," Jax whined.

"Not you shithead, Haley and I!"

Haley laughed at them and rolled her eyes. "Give me a few minutes to get cleaned up. This guy doesn't know how to wash a car without turning it into a wet t-shirt contest."

"We both know who won that baby," Jax teased as he motioned to his soaking wet shirt.

"In your dreams blondie," Haley said as she tugged off the dark t-shirt that Jax had loaned her. She smirked at him as he stared open mouthed at her now see through tank top. Gemma couldn't help but let out a bark of laughter as Haley sauntered inside.

"You be careful with that one baby," Gemma warned.

"You worried about what will happen?"

"I'm worried about you breaking her heart. She's a good girl Jackson, you hurt her and Piney will kill you. No one will be able to save you from him. Opie will probably be right behind him if you do."

"I know, but you worry too much. Nothin going on."

"She just pulled off your t-shirt, she's been with you all day, everyday since she got back."

"Hey, Clay was the one that sad he wanted someone to watch her! I don't have anything else to do," Jax replied.

"You have a job Jax, or did you forget that?"

"Come on Ma, you love Haley. You said she's the daughter you never got. You really upset that we're spending time together? Or is this about something else?"

"Jax, she's been through a lot. Just be careful with her, that's all I'm sayin baby. She's... she's got a lot on her plate, and you, baby, you are enough to take up three plates all by yourself. You don't come alone, you come with the club, and me, and all of the bullshit that comes along with it. All I'm sayin is to be careful with her. Give her some time."

"Ma, I hear ya, I do. Nothin is going on, I swear," Jax assured her. "You worry too much."

"I have to worry about you, no one else does."

Haley bounded out the door, a grin on her face. "What are you two talking about out here," she asked as she joined them.

"Nothin," Jax said with a shrug. "I'll see you later."

Jax pressed a kiss to Haley's forehead before going over to his bike. Gemma jerked her head at Haley and they headed over to her car.

"What were you two really talking about," Haley asked once they were in.

"You, of course, what did you think," Gemma asked.

...

Several stores later, Gemma helped Haley load the bags in the trunk of her car. They climbed back in the car and Haley shot a look at Gemma. "So, we've talked about the club, you and Clay, my dad, Opie, Donna and Ellie. We've even talked about the weather and my mom leaving me a house. I have a feeling none of that is what you really want to talk about."

"You always were a bright girl," Gemma said with a grin.

"This is about Jax."

"You hear that Tara left him?"

"I heard bits and pieces, Opie filled me in on some of it. I don't know the whole story."

"She tried to get him to leave, she wanted him to go to Chicago with her. She was going to medical school. She wanted him to turn his back on his entire life, on everything that he is, and go with her. He couldn't, he wouldn't. So she left, without so much as a goodbye, and it almost killed him. I thought he was going to drink himself to death, between that the weed and the pussy, I had no idea what to do with him," Jemma explained.

"How'd he pull out of it? He seems fine now," Haley asked.

"I don't know baby girl. He went on a walkabout, said he needed to clear his head. He was gone for two weeks. No one heard anything from him, not even Opie. When he came back, all he would tell me was that he saw an angel. I found this, a few weeks later, in his room."

Gemma handed Haley a creased piece of paper. It had been folded up several times, the edges worn. Haley carefully unfolded it, a soft gasp escaping when she saw what it was. It was a program from her dance recital a year and a half ago. She'd been selected to perform her solo at the winter showcase.

"He was there?"

"You were the angel baby girl."

"Why didn't he tell me? He hasn't said anything to me about it."

"I don't think he will darlin', Jax isn't one to talk about his feelings. Whatever that was, whatever you did, you saved him."

"I had no idea he was even there. I... danced, that was it Gemma. I was picked to perform a solo, I was in a few other numbers, but all I did was dance."

"All I know darlin' is when he left he was going to pieces, and when he came back, it was like everything was right again," Gemma replied. "I'm not sayin this to you, so you'll jump in bed with my son. God knows, that is the last thing you need right now. All I'm sayin, is that boy, that boy cares about you baby girl, more than you know. If he's tryin to be there, let him."

Haley nodded before meeting Gemma's gaze. "You sure you won't hate me as much as you hated Tara."

"Please, you and that little tart have nothing in common. I didn't trust her as far as I could throw her, and I probably couldn't pick her up."
