Juniper
I don't tell my truth. I don't tell him that I ran away from my ex-boyfriend Rick and my parents. I had always told myself that I would never be with a man like my father. Rick surprised me though. He was always sweet and caring with me. One day though he came home from a bad day at work and I was running late. I walked in the door and he was on the couch. He looked pissed but I just assumed it was because he had a bad day at work, boy was I wrong. He was pissed at me for not having his dinner on the table. I gave him a smile and told him I had to finish the file I was working on but I make him something as soon as I change out of my work clothes. He got up and slapped me across my face for the first time in our relationship. I was shocked and before I knew it he shoved me against the wall. He was holding me by my throat. I will never forget the look in his eyes. I could feel that he started squeezing my throat tight. I started to panic but then I remembered how I always watched my mother being beaten by my father. I promised myself that I would never allow a man to ever treat me that way. As he continued to try and choke me I kneed him in his family jewels. He let go of me. I grabbed my purse and ran out to my car. I took off to my parents house because I have no where to go.
I will never forget that day. I walked into my parents home to find my mother crying. I asked her what was wrong and her words blew me away. She told me how disappointed she was in me for not being a good girlfriend. Apparently Rick had already called my father to tell him what had happened. I stepped back from my mother and asked her if she was serious. She told me it was my job to make my man happy. I told her that I would not allow a man to hit me like she did. I stood there waiting on her response to that but instead she yelled for my father to come into the room. My father had walked out of the bedroom and told me he had called Rick so he would be there soon to take me back home. I stand there looking at my parents realizing how toxic they both are. I heard Rick slam the front door open. He was still very angry. He walked up and punched me in my face. I hit the coffee table as I went down. He then grabbed me by my hair and dragged me toward the front door. As Rick jerked me up by my arm to leave my mother told me to apologize to him and try to do better. I knew right then that I would never speak to them again. I started planning my escape after that. I felt someone tapped my shoulder bringing me out of my thoughts. I look up to see Vee, Blade and Tank all looking at me with concern. Shit, I zoned out. Tank then asked me "Why are you crying? Are you hurting really bad?" I am not crying, am I? I feel tears land on my hand, I wipe my face then answered him " A little bit." Vee grabbed my hand and said she would take me home to rest. I can not believe I got so wrapped up in my memories like that.
Tank
I feel like a piece of shit for getting Juniper hurt. I plan on getting her some flowers or something as an apology when I get back from my work trip. I pull into another clubhouse to speak to their V.P. As I walk in I see the clubhouse sweetbutts sitting at the bar. I don't see any members around. I see a prospect behind the bar. I asked him where Slayer is. He tells a girl called Trixy to show me. Trixy walks up to me rubs her hands up my chest. She is hoping to get lucky apparently. She takes me to the garage in the back. I walked in and saw a big motherfucker working on a bike. Trixy walked over and sat in his lap while introducing him to me. He looks annoyed and tells her to get lost. We talked business for about an hour. He then asked me if I wanted to go grab some food. I hadn't eaten since yesterday so I followed him to the little mom and pop diner in town.
We go to sit in the corner booth. I look at the menu to see what I wanted. I am hungry as hell. Slayer tells me that the meatloaf is like your own momma made it. The waitress comes over and introduces herself to us. Allie is an angelic looking girl. If I was an honest, good family man she would be the perfect wife. I give her my order for meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Slayer then gives her his order for the same. I noticed Slayer's eyes are fixated on her. She also has a red tint to her cheeks. Well I guess those two may have a little thing for each other. We talk about an upcoming run that his club is having. The food arrives and he was not lying it is the best meatloaf I have ever eaten. Allie comes back over to clear our plates and Slayer takes her hand to place a twenty in it for a tip. I now think I found someone whose cheeks get more red than Juniper. Allie thanks him then ask if she can get us anything else. An older lady yells at Allie from the kitchen area. Allie takes off back toward the kitchen. I can hear the woman tell Allie that she doesn't need to spend too much time speaking to people like us. I see the words piss Slayer off. I have heard it so many times that it doesn't bother me anymore. We head back to the clubhouse so we can finish our business. As we walk back inside Trixy comes over and lays her hand on my chest. She offers herself to me for tonight. I turn her down and continue down to his office.
