Calming The Storm

Chapter fourty-three

               Smoke's pov

We all rode out with T.O. They all made me stay at the van when they went into the apartment. While they we're in I tried calling Juice. Each time I tried he sent me to voicemail. Maybe he is serious about this. A moment after they came back.

"Are you alright Smokey?" Chibs asks.

"I will be." I say.

I then looked at my left hand. I thought for a moment and then I took his rings off my left hand and put them into my pocket. I then rubbed my face and let out a sigh.

"Come here sis." Jax says.

He wrapped his arms around me and I wrapped mine around him.

"It's gonna be okay I promise." He says.

I sniffled as I nodded my head.

Later

We are all back at the studio. My phone rang and I walked off to answer it.

S- Juan?
J- your mom came and talked to me. I'm not sure if I'm going to send you papers. I'm thinking about it.
S- are you serious Juan?
J- we need to put distance between us.
S- Juan.
J- I know it's not what you want to here but it is what needs to be done. I'm also not gonna tell you where I'm going to be. This is going to be my last call for a while Panther.
S- Juan don't do this.

He then hung up. I shook my head and wiped away my tears. This really may be the end of us. A moment after I went back to the party and sat with Happy. I took a few shots of whiskey. That night Juice killed Rosevelt, I blacked out and the last thing I really remember was walking in the door. He told me he had killed him.

After the party we all went to Jax's house. He pulled out some tools.

"Smoke, go to Abel's room and shut the door." Jax says gently.

I nod and left the room. Is Juice really going to divorce me? This wasn't the deal. It wasn't supposed to be like this. He is changing it all. I wonder if mom knows.

Next day

I haven't slept and I have hardly ate. I'm with Happy at the studio. He is taking care of the body. As I went to stand my world went black just for a second. I woke up and Happy was sitting by me.

"You haven't slept have you?" He asks helping me up.

"No." I say.

"You need to sleep darling." He says.

"I'm fine." I say as I get on my feet.

"That's a lie and it wasn't a suggestion." He says.

Later we met up with the guys and are talking to Jury. Happy made me stay and and sit on his bike. I hope he don't tell Jax that I blacked out. Then we decided to get Tig and Rat to haul some hay. While riding in the truck I decided to take me a little nap.

After a little bit I woke back up and we gunned down some guys now we gotta go talk to Jury again. Let him know where the guns will be stored.

                 Juice's pov

Gemma came by again. She came in the door and I know she has something on her mind.

"How is Panther handling all of this?" I ask.

"Not good. She puts on a face but I can see right through it. Let's face it. Your wife is a god damn wreck." She says.

"Well I can't say that I've been good without her." I say.
