MC Devil Dogs #5 Finally Someone To Love

Going Back

Juniper

     I wake up to pain.  God I feel awful!  What is wrong with me?  I slowly open my eyes and see Tank sleeping in the chair beside me.  I try to call his name but my throat is so dry.  I croaked out his name again and he opened his eyes.  As soon as he sees my eyes open he jumps up.  He comes over and sits beside me.  I managed to ask for water.  He helps me drink a little bit which clears my throat so I can ask "What happened?"  Tank informs me about my surgery and how sick I was.  The nurse comes in to check on me.  I ended up feeling thankful that Tank for once hunted me down.  He told me that the guys packed up my stuff and dropped off some clothes for me to wear back.  Blade is going to have a jet to bring us back and I will be staying with Tank while I heal.  I really have no strength to fight this.  I just give him a nod and wait on his next question.  I hear Tank asked me "So Juniper please tell me why you left?  You know we care about you and we consider you a very close friend."  I clear my throat and give the best explanation I have.  I start off with "Well you know Hotshot girlfriend has pretty much cost me my job.  I can't even go into town to do stuff without running into some old women who think I am trying to steal a pregnant woman's man.  I mean it doesn't even matter if Hotshot wanted me now after the way he treated me it's over.  I don't want anything to do with them two.  I just got tired Tank with everything.  I have to worry about Rick, my parents and confrontation with the town's people.  I didn't enjoy being there anymore.  I just wanted some peace back in my life.  I mean the only time I felt any peace was your back yard with the dogs."  I sigh and close my eyes for a minute.  

     Tank took my hand and made a joke about I can live with his dogs in the back yard anytime I wanted to.  I laughed which caused me to hiss in pain.  Tank decided no more jokes today and tells me to get some rest while he goes to grab himself some coffee.  I lay down and think about everything going on in my life right now.  I just need things to go right for a little bit.  I am tired of all the stress and really would like to just be able to not fear being by myself.  I know I have no choice but to go back with Tank until I heal up.  Hell right now I feel like I will be down for weeks.  I can't believe Tank tracked me down.  I wonder how he found me?  I will have to ask him that when he comes back because I thought I was very careful.  Tank's phone is ringing and he left it laying on the table beside my bed.  I reach for it but I can't get to it due to the pain in my side.  I try to read the name on the scene and see it says Hotshot.  I don't want talk to him anyway.  He needs to get his woman in line and get her off my case.  I mean as soon as she showed up he disappeared.  He wasn't even man enough to come to me and say "Hey I had a woman come back and she is carrying my baby.  I am sorry but I will have to say goodbye."  What did I get from him nothing but complete silence.  I dozed off for a few minutes.  I hear my door open and look up to see Tank coming in with snacks and some drinks.  He told me he asked the nurse if I can something and she told him I could have a small snack.  I told him about his phone ringing earlier.  He checked it and I watched his face as he saw Hotshot's name.  He looked aggravated.  I cleared my throat and asked the question I want an answer to "Tank how did you find me?"

     I get back into the room with us some snacks.  Juniper tells me about my phone ringing.  I check the caller id to see it was Hotshot.  Fuck that dude.  I ignore it and continue to help her drink and eat a little snack.  She then asked me how we found her.  I answered "Well we were watching for your credit card use.  You used it at the CVS."  She shakes her head no.  I smile at her and say "Yea doll you used your credit card so we came to this town and rode around until we saw your car."  She looked confused then said "No I made sure only to use cash so that no one would be able to track me."  I think about it for a minute but decide she most likely was pretty sick and really didn't know what she was doing.  I tell her my thoughts and we both agree she was loopy by then.  We talked for a bit then she ended up dozing back off.  I decided to step out of the room to call Hotshot back.  I don't need him bringing his trouble here and upsetting Juniper more than she has already been.  He answers immediately.  He asked "Tank, please tell me Juniper is okay?  No one is telling me anything and I am worried man.  I know I fucked up but I care about her."  Right now I have that evil twin and the good twin sitting on my shoulders.  Don't tell the bastard let him sweat, then I have the other one saying tell the fucker he can't help it if he is stupid.  I finally gave in.  I explain what happened and about the surgery.  He lets out a sigh before asking if I am going to bring her back to stay maybe at the clubhouse while she heals.  I inform him real quick that it won't be happening as long as his baby momma is there.  She has caused enough trouble.  He asked me what all has she done.  I don't want talk about it so I tell him to figure it out himself.  I hang up and go back in the room.  I look over to see Juniper is sleeping good.  I decided to try catch up on some sleep too.  

     I am woken up by my phone ringing.  I jump up to grab it before it wakes up Juniper.  I see it's Prez calling.  I go back out of the room to talk to him.  I let him know how she is and about our plans.  He then tells me that he found out some information that he thinks I need to know.  Apparently her dear old boyfriend and parents are trying to get her held for a 24 hour psych hold.  If they do that they will most likely be prepared to force her to go home.  Prez tells me he thinks it would be best to get her back to his territory before they can do that.  He informs me that they know she is in the hospital and they are most likely on their way here.  Shit, she really is not in a condition to be moved.  Prez says that Blade has worked it out for the jet to be here tonight and they will have a doctor who owes the club a favor on board plus one of the old ladies that's an ER nurse.  I only have to get her out of here.  Damn it I hate this.

     I woke up and Tank wasn't in the room.  I could hear some loud voices outside of my room though.  I wonder what is going on?  The room door opened and I saw Tank with multiple other bikers that I have never seen come in.  I am starting to freak out now.  Tank walked over and held my hand.  He started explaining about what is going on and what needs to happen.  I can not believe my parents are trying to do that to me.  The bikers turned out to be from a local club that the Prez called in a favor to.  They are going to help me get out of the hospital safely and to the airport to get on the jet.  I am so ready to get out of here.  I asked them to step out and Tank to help me dress.  Once the bikers were out Tank helped me sit up on the side of the bed.  Thank goodness he brought me some really comfy baggy clothes.  He slipped on a pair of sweatpants that were probably one of the bikers out there.  He then slipped on a sweatshirt and I was self conscious due to not wearing a bra.  He smirked at me and said don't think about it.  He brought me some slipper socks to put on.  Once I was dressed the nurse came in and made sure I understood the danger of leaving to soon.  I knew I had to though because if my parents get there hands on me I never get away again.  

     The bikers were standing outside my door forming a line and Tank pushed me out in a wheelchair.  They walked along side us as we made our way out of the hospital.  We had just turned the corner when I heard my father's voice.  I heard him yelling "What do you mean she is gone?  She just had surgery and she is crazy.  We need to get her home so we can get her the help she needs.  How incompetent are you people?"  Please don't tell him!  The biker closed the circle around me so that you can hardly see the wheelchair in the middle due to the size of these guys.  I then hear Rick's voice "I want the hospital exits closed down now. Do you hear me?  I need you men to go and look for anyone trying to leave because I have not been informed about her leaving yet.  I had a nurse keeping an eye on her."  Once we heard that we ended up walking faster.  The guys all had their hands on their guns.  I just closed my eyes and prayed for this to end and end soon.  I looked back behind me to Tank to tell him "Tank if they close in on us just let them have me because I don't want to be the cause of any of you guys getting hurt."  Tank reached down and held my shoulder before saying "Not a chance in hell doll."  I heard all the other guys murmuring their agreements.  I look toward the door of the ambulance bay to see we are almost there just a few more feet and we should be good to go.
