It had been a day since the incident with Tristen, she had been assuring me she was fine but I wasn't ready to leave Charming just yet. I had slept in the hospital room with her over night and now that it was late in the morning I had officially spent more then a few hours laying next to her in bed reading articles from seventeen magazine out loud to her as she painted her nails. I had just finished reading her one about her favourite bad when she looked up at me.

"Can we get some ice cream?" she asked with that same smile I had seen so many times before. I couldn't help but smile back before I was able to answer my silent mother in the corner was quick to speak up "Tristen were going home in a few hours you can wait until then"

"Ill be right back sweetie" I kissed the top of her head before jumping off the bed. "Mom I will be back, I am getting Tristen some ice cream" I said before quickly leaving before she could bring up some argument in front of Tristen saying something about either her not needing to gain weight or trying to hid in the room so god forbid anyone from Charming knew her daughter was the one hidden inside the room with police outside the door.

I shut the door behind me and took off down the hallway. I had just burst through the same hospital doors I had gone in the night before when I almost ran straight into Tara Knowles. I had known Tara since high school, we had been best friends growing up. We had grown up as girls, and ended up going through all our rebellious stages in high school. We had ended up growing apart when she left town to go to school and I had followed my supposed to be rockstar boyfriend to Italy.

"Tara, wow how are you?" I asked pulling my friend into a deep hug.

"Holly hey, I'm good. Obviously I'm back in Charming, which you know wasn't exactly planned but its been good. I'm back at my parents house, I've been cleaning out the place and eventually when everything is settled I'm going to look into some different residences. What about you what are you doing back here? I thought you were in Italy" she asked pulling back from the hug.

"I'm hoping I'm only here for a few days. My sister she was the one in that accident yesterday I came back into town to spend some time with here" I admitted hating that this awful thing that my sister had gone through was the only thing that had brought me back to this town.

"Aw Holly I'm sorry Jax mentioned that I didn't know it was your sister. If it helps I over heard them mention that SAMCRO was going to look into it" she said sounding sincerely sorry about the incident.

"I was hoping to avoid that. Don't get me wrong I don't mind Jax he was always a good guy but I was afraid my dad had gone to them. I would prefer SAMCRO have nothing to do with this but I'm leaving in a few days so I guess what happens happens. Anyways hun I am so sorry to run but Tristen gets out in a bit and I promised I would bring her back some ice cream so I've got to run but it would be nice to get together before I leave town." I said feeling frustrated at the face that Tara had convinced me my fears were true. That was all my father needed, the guilt of what had happened to his daughter was clearly getting to him and now he was going to end up owing SAMCRO a favour.

"Of course go I totally understand. Yeah give me a call we will meet up. I'll see you later let me know if you guys need anything I'm on the third floor you can have me paged" she called over her shoulder before heading back into the hospital.

I quickly crossed the street and headed into the nearby convince store. I walked through the aisle grabbing a few things tossing them into the basket I grabbed at the door. I stopped for a moment flipping through a pile of teenage magazines trying to find a few that Tristen would like when I heard that same voice behind me.

"Funny running into you again". I turned just in time to see him flash that same gorgeous smile from the night before. "Yeah, small world I guess" I said returning my attention back to the magazine in front of me trying to avoid the temptation to flirt with the complete stranger.

"It's Holly isn't it?" I heard his voice again.

"Yes, it's Juice right?" I replied back with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

"Im impressed you didn't forget. Are you staying in town for a bit?" he asked as he leaned against the wall beside me. A simple move that seemed to show off just how fit the stranger was.

"I'm not sure maybe. At lest another day or so. Why are you asking?" I mentioned now slightly intrigued with the handsome stranger. I couldn't help but be interested in where this conversation was going.

"Just wondering. Maybe if your not busy we can hang out, you know we can catch a drink tonight or mini golf whatever your into you know" he offered with another gorgeous smirk before he winked quickly.

"I probably would but I'm only in town for a day or two so maybe I can get a rain check. Nice to meet you though" I said before turning and heading towards the cashier before I dumped my now full basket on the cashier. Before I realized he was behind me I began to dig through my purse searching for my visa as I heard his voice again. I turned just in time to see Juice hand over the cashier a bill and take back the change from the cashier as he slipped the items in a bag.

"Wow you did not have to do that" I said stepping back from the counter as I watched Juice grab the bag and head towards the door.

"I know I didn't need to do it. Listen I don't want to get depressing but I heard what happened to your sister. That is a shit situation and I'm sorry let me do this for you and maybe you can pay me back by agreeing to that date" he said with a wink as he held open the door for me.

I hated that he did that simple gesture that was so sweet, which instantly made me hate myself for turning down his date request earlier. I walked beside him silently for a moment as we walked across the street together before eventually reaching the front of the hospital.

"One date, tomorrow night. Eight o'clock pick me up at the coffee shop down the street" I said before turning back and heading for the front doors of the hospital before I actually thought and changed my mind.

"See you then gorgeous" I heard him call out from behind me.

"Remember, hoodies are not the best look for a date" I called out with a smirk before heading back into the hospital.
