Breaking Cannon

13.

Jax POV

"What the fuck did you do to her?!" I scream at Cannon. All fear of him is long gone and replaced with white hot anger. Maddox may be the angry one, but I can match that if need be.

"Nothing. I didn't do this. The person who did is in a cell at the moment." He says through a clenched jaw. I can tell that he's reigning in his temper.

I don't care. He said if I did what he asked she'd be safe. That's why I've been going out with his men and "tying up loose ends". I'm no stranger to violence, but damn do these men have an affinity for it.

"What happened?"

He looks down at the ground and for the first time I see his tough facade crack. I grab him by the shirt and slam him against the wall. It takes every ounce of my strength to do so, but I'm angry.

"Tell me, Cannon!" I roar.

I feel a presence behind me, which I assume is Calen. Cannon looks past me and simply shakes his head.

"Jax. You need to let me go. Now." He spits out in a cool, dangerous voice. One that makes me rethink my actions.

I can tell his patience is running dangerously low, so I step back and run my hand through my hair.

"Please. Tell me." I look him in the eye.

"Sit down." He says.

"What the fuck? No"

I'm cutoff by the murderous look he gives me. I sit on the couch and wait for him to explain.

"She was on an errand. She was supposed to get this guy to take her to his car so we could grab him." He sits and looks to the floor. His leg bouncing up and down gives his anxiousness away.

"It went south."

No. Wait. No.

"How. South." I ask. Struggling to keep my tone level. He doesn't answer as he clenches his jaw.

"How south Cannon?!" I yell, standing up.

"He raped her."

Suddenly, it's as if I was pushed back down to the couch. The air leaves my lungs and I go white.

Not again. She barely made it through last time.

"What do you mean, not again?" Cannon asks. I snap my head up, unaware that I had been speaking out loud.

"My dad. He's not a good person." Is all I say. My mind is going a million miles an hour. I want to hurt him. Cannon. My dad. Anyone really. I'm squeezing my fists so hard I feel my skin break under my nails.

"Where is she?"

He looks at me for a second, anger spilling from his pores.

"In my room. Up the stairs. Last door on the left."

Before he can finish, I'm bounding up the stairs. I find the door and take a deep breath. Willing myself to be strong for her. I open the door.

The room is massive. There's a king size bed in the middle with a separate sitting area, as well as a balcony. I'm met with the sound of a shower running. I go up to the door and knock.

"Maddox? Mads? Hey it's me. It's Jax. Let me in."

No answer.

"Mads?"

Still. Only the running of the shower. Worry starts to take over me.

"Maddox if you don't answer, I'm going to kick in the door."

Still nothing.

I step back and kick the door right near the door handle. I hear footsteps coming up the stairs but I don't care. Cannons rich. He can fix it. I frantically look around and see Maddox standing in the shower, scrubbing herself with a loofa so hard that she's starting to scrape and cut her skin. I open the shower doors and take it out of her hand. I turn off the shower and wrap her in a towel while she struggles against me.

"Jax! Stop! I need to be clean. I need to get clean. Please I'm so dirty."

My heart shatters into a million pieces as I sink to the floor with her sobbing in my arms.

"It happened again." She sobs. "I can still feel him."

She clings to my shirt as tears of my own start falling.

"Shh, Mads. I know. Shhh" I say, at a complete loss of what to do. I look up and see Cannon and Calen standing in the doorway through my tear filled eyes. It might be the tears playing tricks on me, but I swear I see Calen brush a few of his own away. Cannon stands impossibly still, clenching and unclenching his fists.

"We need to get you dressed, Maddox." I say.

She looks up at me as if she's just noticing me for the first time.

"Jax? You're here." She says.

"Of course I am. We're never leaving each other, remember?" I say back.

She relaxes a bit then looks towards the doorway.

"Um, could you all get out. I need to get dressed."

Everyone breaks from their trances and immediately exits the bathroom.

"I'm right outside if you need me." I tell her. She nods.

As we all leave the room, Cannon gets a call.

"What the fuck do you mean they broke in?!" He growls, pausing for a minute while the person answers.

"So, you're telling me that he's no longer in his cell."

Another pause.

"Okay. Luke? Find him. Or everything I planned to do to him, will be done to you."

He hangs up the phone and stalks out of the room. Eyes ablaze and fists clenched.
