Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 263 Hate Him
"
Elliot Oswald had been trying to do something nice for Scarlett since she helped rescue Tristen from being gang raped by some carnival workers. Scarlett repeatedly told him she didn't need any thanks and that she was grateful she had been able to help save the little girl.
He had offered her various things from free rent to meal delivery services. Saturday, he suggested acupuncture treatments. Scott his IT guy had come to Charming and opened his own acupuncture clinic. Turned out there wasn't much of a market for acupuncture in Charming. He still performed acupuncture by appointment and had helped Tristen with her allergies.
Elliot offered her acupuncture treatments. He told her that the treatments might not fix her back overnight, but they could help her heal faster. The idea of getting better faster appealed to her and she'd always had an interest in acupuncture, so she agreed to try a few treatments.
Scott had come by Scarlett's motel room. He had wiped her spine and neck area with alcohol and taken a bundle of needles stuck to a roll of paper. Each needle was in its own insertion tube. He tapped one end pushing the needle through the tube and into Scarlett's skin. The needles were tipped with blue so the acupuncturist could see them for removal. The needles were single use and disposable. Since the increase in needle borne illnesses patients were apprehensive about reusable needles.
Scarlett didn't feel the needles going in or even feel the delicate twist he gave them. He'd shut the lights off to help her relax and perched on the edge of the bed. Scarlett shut her eyes and tried to figure out if they made her feel better.
Jax pounding at her motel room door was a surprise. He just seemed crazy when he found Scott in her room. Before she could even say something to him, Jax grabbed Scott threw him against the wall and started punching him. It scared and embarrassed her.
When she finally got through to him that he was giving her an acupuncture treatment, he quit punching Scott. Scott quickly removed the needles still taking care to rub where each needle was inserted. That felt good. Scott quickly left and Scarlett told him she'd call him. She wanted to give acupuncture a fair trial.
She had opened her heart to Jax. Told him things she'd never told anyone. She was trying to build a relationship with him. Despite her fear, she was trying to get closer to him.
He'd crushed it all by acting like a jealous lunatic. Obviously he didn't believe what she'd told him or he wouldn't have assumed she was having sex with a guy in her room. How could he even think that?
Her feelings were at war. She hated him and she was also broken hearted. When she'd blurted out that she never wanted to see him again, she meant every word of it. Her life could go along perfectly fine if she never saw Jax Teller again.
No, her life would be even better without him in her life. She could focus better on destroying Clay, getting him locked up for the rest of his life and destroying SAMCRO. This was a good thing. Her feelings for Jax were making her weak. Now she would be stronger, smarter and she would be merciless when she brought SAMCRO, Clay Morrow and Jax Teller down.
If only she could convince her heart that never seeing Jax Teller again was a good thing. She hated him and they were done.
In just a few minutes, she would quit crying and everything would be better. Jax fucking Teller could rot in hell.
