Chapter 7
Watching me pull off of the lot, Juice is pissed. He walks into the clubhouse and over to Jax and Tara and says "You stupid cunt. You have no clue what's been going on. You should be talking to your Old Man instead of jumping all over Lori." Juice says. "You better watch your mouth brother. You don't disrespect my Old Lady." Jax says getting into Juice's face. "So you can force my girl to call things off with me and force yourself on my girl but I can't say anything to yours? Don't work like that brother." Juice says. Bobby and Opie come over and break the two of them up. "Forced himself on her? Are you fucking kidding me? She's a fucking whore bouncing from dick to dick." Tara says. Gemma walks in and ask "What the hell is going on?" Bobby turns to her and says "Jax was forcing my kid to hook up with him behind Tara's back and made her call things off with Juice. Tara showed up jumping all over her calling her a croweater and a whore." Gemma looks at Tara "She's not a fucking croweater." Gemma says. "She was fucking my Old Man." Tara says. "And so have most of the whores here. Her and Jax grew up together." Gemma says. Gemma looks at Jax and says "You better reign your bitch in because she disrespects Lori again, it will be me she has to answer to. As for you? You aren't too old for me to beat your ass." Gemma turns to Juice and says "Go get your girl. Call me if you need me." Juice nods and heads out towards my house.
I'm sitting on the couch, crying with a bottle of Jack in my hand when I hear a bike pull up. I don't look out the window but I know who it is. Knocking on the door, I hear Juice say "Baby, open up." I go to the door, bottle in hand, and open the door. Juice looks at me and takes the bottle from me before he pulls me to him with his free hand. "It's okay baby." he says. I pull away a little and say "No. It's not. He gets to do whatever the fuck he wants and it always falls back on me. How is that shit fair?" I ask. "It's not baby and it's being handled." he says. "No. It isn't." I tell him softly. "Look, if it keeps up, I'll jump charters." he tells me. I look at him and say "You can't leave me here." He kisses me softly and says "Only okay we need is from your dad and you go with me." he tells me. "I can't ask you to do that." I say. "You ain't asking. I'm going to do everything I can to take care of my Old Lady." he says. I look at him shocked and start shaking my head. "You're my Old Lady baby. Everyone knows it." he tells me and I wrap my arms around him and lay my head against his chest.
Juice and I are laying in bed and he's holding me close. "I love you Princess. No one will ever hurt you again." he says. I look up at him and ask "You love me? Juice…" I start. "I love you. I've loved you for a long time. You don't have to say it back but…" he says and I cut him off with a kiss. "I love you too Juan. I am so sorry about everything." I tell him. "That ain't on you. That's on him." he tells me and I nod. He kisses me softly and says "I want to give you my crow." I smile at him and say "Okay."
The next day, we pull onto the lot, me on the back of his bike when we see Tara and Jax standing there. She glares at me and I say "I'm done with this shit." I walk over with Juice behind me and tell her "You want to think I was fucking Jax? He came over telling me that you and him were done. We were drunk and hooked up. After that, I tried refusing him and he choked me. Held me to the fucking wall by my throat telling me to call things off with Juice. Pulling rank. You know how I got to be with Juice? Opie took it to the club after I tried to kill myself because your Old Man was forcing himself on me. But you think what you want to. But he's the one that you should be going after. Not me but remember this. I am the Goddamned Princess and the next time you threaten me or disrespect me, I will slit your fucking throat." I tell her and she visibly stiffens. "Juice you better get your whore in check." Jax says pissed off. "She ain't a whore. Everybody. Chapel. Now." Clay says and they all head into church. Gemma walks over to me while the guys head inside.
Inside chapel, Clay says "Jax you better reign yourself in. You know good and damn well she ain't a whore. She's club royalty just like you. But your Old Lady? She needs to watch her mouth and remember her place. If she don't, Old Lady or not, she will be banned from here. You're the one that started this shit and are causing all this shit and VP rank or not, we can vote to transfer or strip your patch if you keep causing problems just because you don't get your way." Clay says. They finish with church and as soon as they walk out of the chapel, Juice walks over to me and asks "You okay Princess?" I just nod. Tara walks over and says "Stop acting like you want him. We all know you still want Jax. You never could handle that he was with me." she tells me. I look at he and say "I don't want him. I never did. He was always the one coming to me, not the other way around so you might want to get your facts straight. Check his phone. Every call that was made, was him calling me and I never answered. There are no calls from me to him. He's all yours honey but you ever step up to the Princess again, I won't back down. I love Juice. It will always be Juice." I tell her, going nose to nose. She looks at me and says "You're telling the truth aren't you?" I look at her and say "I have no reason to lie. You need to be looking into your boy." I tell her. She looks at Jax and says "Give me your phone." He just looks at her and doesn't move. Tig grabs his phone from his hand and hands it to her. Looking at his call and text history, she sees it's all one sided. "You told me she came on to you. That you tried to get her to leave you alone." Tara says to Jax. "So what?" Jax says. Tara storms out of the clubhouse with Jax running after her. I take a deep breath and lean against Juice and say "Thank you for standing by me." He kisses me and says "Always Princess."
