Hey Whiskey

Chapter 5

Jax makes it back to the cabin and Opie and Tara are sitting outside. As Jax gets off his bike, Opie walks off the porch and before he can say anything, Jax punches him. "You stupid fuck. You know she's gonna run again. You just can't stop fucking with her." Jax seethes. Tara runs off the porch and in front of Jax. "Where is she?" Tara asked. "She wouldn't tell me. Said you would know where she went." he tells her still looking at Opie. "Shit." Tara says and takes her phone out. Calling Bobby, he answers on the first ring. "You heard from Liv?" Tara asked Bobby. "Yeah. She told me where she is. What the fuck happened, Tara? She won't tell me shit." Bobby asked. "Opie happened." was all Tara said and Bobby sighed. "I'll go to her as soon as I can." Tara says and ends the call. "Jax, I need to be with her. If she's where I think she is, that's not a good thing." she tells him. Heading inside, they all pack their things and head back to Charming.

Getting back to Tara's, she throws her bag in the backseat of her Cutless and turns to Jax. "I'll follow you there." he says. "No, you won't. She doesn't want anyone knowing where this place is for a reason. I'll call you later and let you know what's going on." she tells him. Kissing her softly, still glaring at Opie, he releases her and him and Opie head to the clubhouse and Tara heads to my house.

Jax and Opie pull onto the lot at TM and as soon as Jax is off his bike, he storms into the clubhouse and to the dorm, slamming the door as he does. The room gets quiet and Opie sees Bobby glaring at him. "What's up brother?" Happy asked Bobby. "Fucker hurt Liv. Again. She's in hiding again." Bobby says. Happy, knowing how I am and that if I am hiding then it's bad, walks over to Opie and says "You hurt her?" Happy seethes. "I didn't touch her." Opie says. "But you still hurt her?" Happy asked again and Opie nodded. "In. The. Fucking. Ring." Happy says through gritted teeth. Happy took care of me while I was in Tacoma until he patched Redwood.

Happy walks out to the ring with Opie behind him. Happy hands Bobby his rings and kutte and Bobby starts wrapping his hands. Juice is on the other side doing the same to Opie. They get into the ring and before anything can be said, Happy wails on Opie. He barely fights back. Lyla pulls onto the lot and seeing Opie in the ring with Happy, she runs over, "What's going on?" she asked worriedly. "Nothing you need to worry about." Bobby tells her and walks away. She looks at him shocked and she walks to Juice. "What are they fighting about?" she asked. Without looking at her Juice says simply, "He hurt Liv." She looks at him shocked. "Who the fuck is Liv and why does she fucking matter?" she asked, getting pissed that this was over another chick. He snaps his head to her and says, angrily "She's Bobby's kid and he won't leave her the fuck alone." He hands her Opie's things and storms into the clubhouse.

Once the fight is broken up and they exit the ring, Happy goes into the clubhouse to get his things from Bobby. Walking in, he sees Bobby at the bar and Juice beside him. Opie comes in after and Lyla is hanging all over him and he's not pushing her off. Juice gets pissed off more and goes to his dorm. Tracking Liv's phone, he gets the address and enters it into his GPS on his phone and heads out to the main room. Walking over to Bobby, he says "I'll be back later. Call me if you need me." Bobby nods and Juice walks out to his bike, headed to the address in his phone.

Tara is at the little house with me and we are sitting on the couch. Jack Daniels in hand and I refuse to say anything. Tara is keeping a close eye on me and we both tense when we hear a bike pull up. "Stay here. It's probably your Dad." she tells me and I nod. She opens the door and we see Juice standing there. He looks at me with a sad look on his face. "Juice?" I asked. "How'd you find me?" I asked. "I tracked your phone." he tells me. Sighing, I look at Tara and nod that it's okay. He walks over to me as I stand up and he pulls me to him and hugs me. "I'm okay Juice." I tell him. He pulls away and kisses me on the cheek. Now, this isn't anything he hasn't done before but I see something else in his eyes. "You deserve better than that shit." I pull away from him and say "I won't be making that mistake again." I sit down on the couch with him and Tara and start drinking again.

An hour later, Jax calls Tara to check on me. "She's okay. I'll be heading home in a few if you want to meet me there." she tells him. "You aren't leaving her alone." Jax tells her. Tara looks at me laying against Juice's shoulder, and says "She's not." he sighs and says "Okay. Be careful." She ends the call and says, "That was Jax. I'm gonna head home. You need me, you call." I nod and say "Thanks T. I'll be back in a few days. I just need time to deal with this shit." She nods and looks at Juice. "Let Jax know I won't be there for a few days. I'll stay here with her." he says and she nods before heading out the door.

Juice and I sit there alone for awhile before he spoke. "Happy took him to the ring." he says softly. I sit up and look at him shocked. "What? Seriously?" I say. I pick up the bottle and take another long pull from it. "Yeah. He did." he said. "You and Happy are close?" he asked. "When I was in college, before he patched Redwood, he was kinda like my Jax for up there. He was more or less a big brother to me. Made sure no one messed with me and made sure I stayed on track." I tell him. "Oh. Good." he says. I look at him and he just looks at me. "What?" I asked. "Nothing." he says shyly and looks back down where I have my hand on his arm. "Talk to me Juice." I say, turning his head to look at me. "I like you. I know you are still upset about Opie and I get it but I like you. I always have. I'll be your friend as long as you want but if you ever decide you want something with someone, I'd like a chance." he tells me softly. I lift his arm and put it around me and say "I kinda like you too but let me deal with this Opie shit and we'll talk. Promise." I tell him. He smiles and kisses the top of my head.

I finished off one bottle of Jack and had started on another when my eyes started to get heavy. Juice takes the bottle from me and puts it on the coffee table. Picking me up, he carries me to the bedroom and puts me in bed. Pulling the covers over me, he leans down and kisses the top of my head and whispers "Goodnight Sweetheart." before walking back out to take the guest room for the night while I drift off to sleep thinking about Opie and Juice.
