Hey Whiskey

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Waking up the next morning, my head is pounding and I run to the bathroom sick. After emptying my stomach which seemed to be all Jack, I brush my teeth and head out to the living room. Looking over at the kitchen, I see Juice standing there in his jeans and no shirt. I take a minute to look at him. He's nice looking, sweet, and would probably treat me better than that giant asshole. I sit down on the couch and look at the tattoo on my wrist. I need to cover this up. "Juice?" I asked. He looks over and sees me sitting there. He pours me a cup of coffee and as he brings it to me he says "Yeah?" I look back at my wrist as he puts my coffee on the table in front of me. "Can you call Happy? I need him to cover this up." I ask. "Yeah. I'll call him now. I'm making breakfast. You need to eat." he tells me and I nod. Getting up, I go to the shower and once I'm out, I walk back to the kitchen and Juice puts a plate of food in front of me and more coffee. "I called Hap. He'll be here in about an hour. I texted him the address." he tells me. "Thanks." I say as I slowly start eating. "Thanks for this. And for staying." I tell him. He just kisses the top of my head and starts eating his breakfast.

An hour later, the kitchen is cleaned up and there's a knock at the door. Juice answers and let's Happy in and in his hands is his tattoo kit. "Hey little girl." he says, hugging me. "Hey Hap." I say. "You okay?" he asked. "Yeah. Juice is hanging with me and taking care of me." I tell him and he nods his thanks to Juice who just nods back. "Why did I need to bring my kit?" he asked. I hold out my wrist and say "I need this covered up. It's time to put my mistakes behind me." I tell him. Happy nods his understanding and we go to the kitchen table. By the time he's done, I have a small banner over the name Giant and it now says "Princess." I look at it and smile and hug Happy. "Thank you Hap. This is perfect. Instead of being committed to him, I'm committed to myself." I tell him with a sad smile. "Hey Hap?" Juice asked. "Can you hang here for a bit. I need to run to the clubhouse to get some clothes." he says. "Yeah. I got her." he tells me.

Juice leaves but not before he kisses the top of my head and says "I'll be back shortly Princess." I just smile and nod. After he leaves, Happy looks at me and says "You and Juice?" I shake my head no. "He told me that when I'm ready to start seeing someone again that he'd like a chance but I told him that I needed to get past this shit before I even think about that and he said he understands." I tell him. "Good. He's a good one. Loyal. He'll be good to you." he tells me. "Are you giving me your blessing to be with Juice?" I asked. "When you're ready for it, yeah." he tells me and I smile.

Juice pulls up to the clubhouse and gets off his bike. Walking into the clubhouse, Bobby sees him. Walking over he asks "How is she?" Juice shakes his head. "She drank an entire bottle last night and started another. I am staying with her a few days to make sure she's good." Bobby pats him on the shoulder and says "Thanks brother." before walking away. Opie walks over as Juice is making his way to his dorm. "She okay?" he asked. "Not your concern anymore brother." Juice says and looks over, seeing Lyla glaring, he says "I think your Old Lady needs you." Juice walks to his dorm and Jax knocks on his door. "How's she doing?" Jax asks. "Honestly? I don't know but, Jax, I won't leave her until I know she's good. Even if it means stepping away for awhile." Juice says. "Yeah. Just take care of her. I'll keep you in the loop, just make sure she's okay." Jax says. "Yeah. Just keep that asshole away from her." Juice says and Jax nods.

After Juice gets his things together, he heads back to my house and as he pulls into the driveway, Happy is out on the porch smoking. "How's she doing?" Juice asked. "Grabbed another bottle of Jack and headed to her room. Wouldn't say more than two words once you left. What happened after you got here last night?" Hap asked. "She was already almost an entire bottle in. I made sure she ate this morning but she can't live off just alcohol." Juice says. "I know brother but all we can do is wait until she's ready to talk." Hap says. "Yeah. Opie asked how she was. Fucker's sitting in the God damned clubhouse with the porn slut all over him like nothing fucking happened. Pisses me off." Juice says. "You care about her?" Hap asked, eyeing his brother. "We all do." Juice says. "You care about her?" he asked again. Juice nodded. "Told her that when she's ready I'd like a chance but I would be her friend until then." Juice says. "You have my blessing brother. When she's ready." Hap says before heading to his bike and leaving.

Juice walked into the house and put his bag in the guest room. Walking to my room, he knocks on the door. "Liv?" he called out. I look up as he opens the bedroom door and try to wipe the tears away. He walks over to me and sits on the bed next to me, not touching me. "Are you okay?" he asked. "No. But I will be. Eventually." I tell him honestly. "Thank you for being here, Juice." I tell him. "Nowhere else I'd rather be." he tells me. I lay my head on his shoulder and slide my arm under his. I intertwine our fingers and he rubs his thumb over mine and we just sit there. He turns his head and kisses the top of mine before leaning his head against mine.

After a little bit, Juice takes the bottle from me and says "You wanna watch a movie?" I just nod. Taking my hand that he's still holding and leads me to the living room. "Sit down, I'll fix us something to eat and then we'll pick out a movie." he tells me and I do as he says. A few minutes later, he comes out with hamburgers and chips and puts on a movie. After we eat, I snuggle into his side and fall asleep watching the movie. I feel him picking me up and carrying me to bed. Tucking me in like he did the night before, he kisses the top of my head and whispers "Goodnight Princess." before closing my door and cleaning up the kitchen before heading to bed himself.
