CHAPTER SIXTEEN: Party & Bullshit

It had been a while since Jolene had been to a Samcro party and she hadn't planned on going to this one either, but after a lot of begging on Tig's end, the brunette found herself inside the dimly lit clubhouse with a beer in her hand, and a smile on her face as she listened to Tig tell one of his crazy stories. A laugh left Jolene's mouth as Tig's wild blue eyes went wide and he waved his arms around as he recalled an unpleasant night with a croweater. Jolene had heard the story plenty of times, but she still found it comical. Especially the part where the croweater threw up all over Tig.

"I won't lie I was still a little turned on." Tig said as he finished the story.

"You got some serious issues, Tiggy." Jolene said as a look of disgust crossed her face. "But, I wouldn't love you if you didn't." The brunette said giving a smile to the curly haired man that was her best friend.

"You don't even know the half of it, doll." Tig winked, draping his arm across Jolene's shoulders while his blue eyes scanned the crowed clubhouse, looking for a croweater or two to take back to his room later.

Jolene sat there comfortably with Tig's arm around her while she drank her beer. Her dark eyes scanned the clubhouse, she wasn't looking for anyone in particular, but  the brunette had yet to see Happy. It had been a few days since she had last seen the bald tattooed biker. He hadn't shown up to see Mateo in a few days nor had he made one of his unexpected visits to her house last at night. The doctor wasn't sure if that was his way of giving up, of letting her know he was done trying to be a father or if he was simply just busy.

The brunette's dark eyes finally landed on Happy, his face wore it's usual emotionless one as he walked into the main room from the back of the clubhouse, a blonde croweater following closely behind him, wiping the smeared lipstick from her face as Happy readjusted his jeans. Jolene watched as the blonde whispered something into his ear before quickly walking off as Happy's dark eyes made contact with Jolene's.

"You okay, doll?" Tig asked, following Jolene's gaze. He let out a small sigh as he noticed Happy and the brunette in an intense stare off. Of course Tig knew the Tacoma Killer was back in the dorms with a croweater, he had hoped Jolene wouldn't find out. Tig was stuck between a rock and a hard place when it came to Jolene and Happy. The doctor was his best friend and he'd do anything for her, but Happy was his brother. Sure, he could take Happy to the ring for a few rounds and throw some punches, but Jolene wasn't Happy's old lady and he could fuck whoever he want to. "Jo."

"I'm fine Tig." Jolene said finally breaking eye contact with Happy. "I just need some air." She said while plastering a smile onto her face. Jolene made a quick exit from the clubhouse feeling Happy's eyes fixated on her with each step she took.

The air was cool as Jolene took a seat on an empty picnic table. The doctor took a few deep breaths to slow down the thumping of her heart, she didn't know why seeing Happy with a croweater had taken her by such a surprise. A rage was building deep down inside of her, a rage directed mostly at herself for once again being so fucking stupid and naive when it came to Happy Lowman.

The squeaking of the door being opened pulled Jolene from her thoughts, a blank look taking over her features as she watched Happy walk towards.

"Hey." Happy rasped as he pulled out a toothpick and placed it into his mouth. Happy could tell by the blank look on her face that she was trying to control her emotions, but it wasn't helping. He knew Jolene too well to know she could never hide her emotion from him.

"Why are you out here? I'm pretty sure your blonde friend still wants your attention." She spat with bitterness in her tone. "Or maybe she just wants your dick in her mouth again." Jolene could never control her emotions when it came to Happy. The Tacoma Killer always brought out every single emotion inside of her, and Jolene was sure he got some sick pleasure out of doing it. It was like he wanted to feel all of her emotions because he could never feel his.

"You jealous little girl?" He asked with a smirk playing on the corner of his lips. "She's just pussy."

Jolene let out a scoff. "I'm not fucking jealous. You can fuck whoever you want, because you made it very clear all those years ago that I'm not your old lady." The brunette stood up from the picnic table, pushing past Happy as she walked towards her Jeep.

Happy's fingers curled around Jolene's arm, stopping her from walking any further. "Watch how you talk to me, little girl." He said three gritted teeth as he chewed away on the toothpick. "I know you've been seeing that doctor." Happy growled. The tattooed biker wasn't too concerned about the doctor from Boston, until Half-Sack confessed about the two sharing what looked like an intimate moment together.

It wasn't surprising to hear Happy knew about Liam. Jolene knew Half-Sack was most likely going to spill (whether accidentally or not) about what he saw. "I'm not afraid of you Happy." Jolene hissed. "I'm not seeing Liam! He's a friend, but if I did want to pursue something more with him or anyone else I can. I'm not your property."

Happy's grip grew tighter on Jolene's arm. "No other man is allowed to touch you." His tone growing as dark as his eyes.

"Fuck off." Jolene said while pulling her arm from Happy's iron tight grip. The brunette knew without a doubt she'd have a bruise there come tomorrow. "I'm done with all of this bullshit. I'm so done. You say you're trying to prove you can be a dad, but you spend more time with croweaters and trying to get into my pants then you do with your son. If you want to see Mateo you'll call before stopping by from now on, and this." Jolene said while pointing between herself and Happy. "Is done. I don't want you showing up late at night anymore, I don't want you sleeping in my bed anymore, and mostly I don't want you." The brunette could feel the tears building up in her eyes, a mix of anger and sadness taking over her body.

"I don't have to try and get into your pants." Happy said cockily with a smirk on his face. "I've already been in them." Jolene's words had hurt him, but he wouldn't let her see that.

Jolene shook her head and walked away from Happy. She was always so stupid when it came to him, but not anymore.

It only took a second for everything to change as Jolene sat at the stoplight, headlights blinded her as another car smashed into the drivers side of her Jeep. The sound of glass breaking, and the scraping of metal filled her ears while pain took over her body. Jolene could feel the blood dripping down from her face, and hear the slurred voice of someone repeating 'sorry' before darkness took over.
