Save Me

Chapter 6

Laying on Jax's bed I hear the door open and the bed dips down. He lays next to me and puts his arm around me and I pull away from him. Getting out of the bed, I walk into the bathroom and shut the door. All I can think about is that Nick won't stop until he kills me. I hear a knock on the door. "Laura, please let me in." I just sit there. "Baby please." he says. I finally open the door but he doesn't try to touch me. "I need to go Jax. I need to leave again." I tell him. "No you don't. We'll take care of you." he says. "You don't get it. Nick won't stop until he has me and he will kill me." I say. "We won't let that happen." Jax says. "Damnit Jax. Do you know who he is? His dad is ATF. If you do anything to him, they will come after you. And what good will you be to Abel if you are locked up or dead?" I asked almost yelling. "Now, I'm going to the house and packing what I need and I need to leave and you aren't going to stop me." I tell him. I start to walk by him and he says "So this is it? You run again? Maybe Tara was right." I look at him almost shocked. "Maybe she is. Go find her." I tell him before walking out and marching out of the clubhouse with my dad right behind me. "Where the hell are you going?" he asked, grabbing my arm. "I'm leaving. I have to leave Daddy. If he gets to me, he will kill me. His dad is ATF so if you do anything to him, he will take you all down. I can't do that. The only way to stop this is to leave again. I'll call you when I can." I say and walk off the lot.

Getting to Jax's house, I pack what I need. I decide on the way there that I can't spend my life running so the only thing to do to end this is to go back to him. I pick up my phone and call his number. I still know it by heart. "Hello?" he answers. "Hello Nick." I say almost defeated. "Well, well. I see you finally changed your mind?" he asked. "Yes Nick. I was wrong to leave. I'm sorry. Can you pick me up?" I asked. "Yes baby. Meet me at the diner at the edge of town." he says and ends the call. I go to head out the door and my dad and Chibs pull up. "Where the fuck are you going?" My Dad asked. "I told you. I'm leaving." I say. "No you ain't. You are staying here and we are going to protect you." Chibs says. "I already called Nick. I'm going back. It's the only way to end this." I tell them and start to walk off and Chibs takes the bag from my hand and my Dad picks me up and carries me into the house. Chibs is on his phone and a few minutes later, Jax walks in and storms over to me. "You going back to him?" he asked in my face and my dad lets it happen. "It's the only way to stop this shit." I tell him. "Why? So he can kill you? You are mine, Laura. You are my Old Lady and Abel's mom. You ain't leaving. I'll tie you to the bed if I have to." he says and pulls me to him. I finally fall apart. "I'm supposed to be meeting him now." I tell them and start to pull away. "Baby, tell me where. It will be taken care of." he asked. "At Hanna's." I say. Dad picks up his phone and says, "We need to head to the clubhouse. Make sure we are all seen there. Hap's gonna handle it." I look at him shocked. "Happy? He's here?" I asked and Jax looks at me funny. "Hap's like an older brother to her. They have always been close." Dad explains. "Let's get back to the clubhouse." he says and we head back.

A few hours have gone by and there is a party going on. They decided to call in some hang arounds and some work for the local businesses. That way there were witnesses that they were at the clubhouse when Nick went missing. A little after Midnight, Happy walks in the door. I run over to him and he picks me up as I jump in his arms to hug him. "Bubby." I whisper where no one can hear. "Hey Squirt." he says back laughing. "Thank you." I say. "Why didn't you call me when this shit happened?" he asked. "I was scared." I say bowing my head. "No more. You can't call your Dad or Jax, you call me. You hear me?" he scolds. "Yes Bubby. Love you." I say. "Love you too Squirt." he says kissing my head. One of the croweaters starts glaring at me and I walk him over to her. "Meet my big brother. Hap, looks like she needs some discipline." I say and he shakes his head smirking. "I don't need you to get laid kid." he says. "Nope but now she knows I ain't after you." I say laughing.

Jax pulls me into the dorm. As soon as the door is locked, his lips are crashing into mine. "Please don't leave me again. I'm sorry for what I said." he says softly. "I'm sorry too. I just thought that if I went back to him this shit would stop." I said. "You are mine. Now that Hap's here and you aren't pregnant, we can add my crow to you. Make it official." he says. He sits me down on the bed and says, "I have something for you." Pulling out a small velvet bag, he takes out a ring. "Laura Trager, will you marry me?" he asked simply. "Yes, Jax. I will." I say and he puts the ring on my finger and kisses me passionately and we 'celebrate' our new engagement.
