The Ghost of Juice Ortiz || Shades Alvarez

Why is it always all or nothing

"Jui -- " 

"You need to shut up and listen carefully." 

He told you in a quiet and threatening voice. You close your mouth instantly as your brain tried everything it could register the juice was sitting in front of you. You knew it was him now, there was no mistaking it. Even though your brain was screaming as to how this could possibly have happened.

Jax had told you that he had died in prison. But apparently Jax had lied to you. And that you had no way of ever finding out as to why he lied to you, because the man himself was dead. 

"What you saw out there today. Forget it. It didn't happen." 

He said shaking his head as his piercing eyes seem to look into your very soul. 

"The man has been delt with and your next moves you make have to be tremendously careful."

  He informed you.

  "Unless you want to end up like the last man that crossed Cottonmouth." 

He added.  You shook your head as you were extremely confused. Everything was happening so fast and you didn't even know what it was it was happening. He was threatening you with death if you didn't read carefully? What was happening? 

"You're going to be questioned and you're going to agree to keeping your mouth shut. No police, no family, nobody. You do and your dead."

He said nodding his head as if getting his point across.

  "Do you understand?"

He asked.  You sat there for a minute trying to collect your thoughts. And finally it was then when it dawned on you that Pop's must have been dead. He said no police and no telling family. You had been around long enough to realize that when something went down and we were told this then if somebody was more than likely dead. 

This wasn't your first time around the block with something like this, this was a hit and it had went down right before your eyes. 

"What I don't understand is how you're alive." 

You told him. He shrugged off your question quicker than you'd realized he would. 

"I'll take that as a yes."

He said as he went and put his shades back on over his face. 

"It's all or nothing Y/N. You're either in or out." 

He told you. It took you a moment u til you realized that he had told you this once before when you had become his Ol'Lady. He was talking about dealing with life and what came your way by being around him and the club. But now it seems that it was different. There was no longer a club. There was no longer that life that the two of you had together.  There was this backstreet gangster hit and run type of deal. 

"It's always all or nothing with you..."

You said quietly, hearing a door open from behind you. You didn't bother to turn around and look to see who it was. 

"Shades, you're needed." 

A man's voice called out. Juice looked toward the man and slowly looked back at you. 

"I'll let the top dogs know you'll keep quiet about everything. Ratchet will escort you out." 

He said standing up in that slick black suit of his. You stood up with him and went to reach out for him, only to have him pull away from you before you could touch him.

"Don't."

He said as he turned like lighting around to face you, starting you slightly. 

"We'll talk later." 

He said in a harsh tone before he turned back around and left the room. Leaving you with the man that was to make sure you left the building.  I found deeply but walked forward to the man. He was very tall and rather chubby and dressed in a ghetto Style of clothing.

He held out his arm pointing towards the direction in which he expected you to walk. You walked in front of him and down a hallway.  It was then as you was walking you notice that to your left was a large dance room type floor. It seemed as if you were in a club. You only had a split second to look but movement up on the second floor had caught your eyes.

  When you turn to look up you seen Juice walking across the balcony and through a door. After looking from the door you seen a large circular window and there standing behind the glasses was the man that had been getting a haircut from Pop the day you first seen Juice once again.
