"When are they due home?" Shelby asks from behind me, "Next few hours I think" I say putting out my cigarette, "God it's been a long 20 days" Shelby exclaims as she begins to place beers in the fridges, "Tell me about, Jax humped me like a rabbit the week before they left, something along the lines of 'remember if you find someone else I'll kill them and kidnap you back', apparently Wood and Dino keeping an eye on us isn't enough for him to be certain I'm not going to run away with someone else" Shelby laughs and faces me, "And what if you just so happened to fall in love with Wood over here and run off into the sunset with him?".

We both laugh and turn our attention to Wood who's sitting at the bar sipping on a beer, "I don't even want to joke about it in case he finds out and kills me" He says while looking around for Jax like he's suddenly going to appear out of thin air, "Smart choice Woody" Shelby yell's out from over her shoulder. "Well, what now?" Shelby asks, I look at my phone and see we still have ages until they're back, "Wanna get drunk?" I ask and she nods her head.

"You turn the jukebox on and I'll get some whiskey, I jump over the bar and search through the bottles until I find a brand I like, I jump down and grab 2 glasses with ice. Shelby starts the music and I pour us drinks "Cheers!" We yell over the music and clink our glasses together before skulling it, "Another one?" I ask, "Oh hell yeah!".

Many songs later and a bottle of whiskey later and Shelby and I are shit faced, "Come dance with me Harley" Shelby cries out from on top of the bar while pouting her lip, "What song do you want?" I shout out to her, "Surprise me!" she yells back. I look through the songs and finally pick one, Never Tear Us Apart by INXS begins to blast throughout the speaker. Shelby holds out her hand for me to take, I grab it and she pulls me up onto the bar.

We were to dance and sing like idiots when the doors of the clubhouse swing open, my head basically snaps off to the door to see everyone standing there back from the ride, I jump down from the bar and jump into Jax's arms wrapping my legs around his waist, "Oohhh I've missed youuu" I coo to him pinching his cheeks, "Oh dads here too!" I shout over his shoulder when I see dad and Betty hugging each other, "Wait have you missed me?" I pull back and pout at him, "Yes kitten, of course, I've missed you" He replies while moving hair from out of my face, "Good".

We sit down at one of the tables as the boys tell us about the lastest runs, I zone out while everyone's talking, "You alright kitten?" Jax asks stroking his thumb over my knuckles, "Yep, I've just figured out my next plan, I need some shovels and wooden box" I stand up abruptly and make my way over to the bar, I grab a bottle of beer and make my way outside towards the garage, I search around until I find the wooden box some of the car parts were sent in the other day.

I drag it out of the garage and carry it around to the backyard of the compound, I go into the shed and find some shovels and get to work digging a deep enough hole, the first person to find me is Jax, soon followed by Gunner and my dad. Nobody says anything they just stand there and watch, eventually one speaks "Do you nee-" Gunner starts but I stop him, "Nope".

Soon enough I have a deep enough hole, "Can someone grab the asshole?" I ask, Gunner nods and makes his way to get him, I get out of the hole and attempt to dust myself off, I bend down and take a large gulp of my beer before wiping the sweat and dirt from my face, "Are you sure Harley?" I hear my dad ask from my side, "Yeah dad I'm sure" I reply still staring down at the hole in the ground. Soon enough Gunner emerges with the boss, "In the box" I point towards the wooden box that's now sitting at the bottom of the hole, he nods and puts the man in the box, I walk over and close the lid on top ignoring his pleas and cries, I grab the power drill and nails and begin to screw the lid on, once the lid is secure I stand back and smile at my finished product.

I pick up the shovel and begin to fill the hole in with the dirt, the sound of the dirt hitting the wooden box fills my heart with joy and I am finally at peace. Once the hole is filled in and compacted down, I throw the shovel to the side and admire all my hard work, I turn around with a giant smile on my face, "Now who wants to party?".

.........

*BANG BANG BANG* *BANG BAN BANG* *BANG BANG BANG*

"What the fuck?" I mumble to myself I open my eyes to be met by bright sunshine and the smell of alcohol, I look down and realise I'm laying on the pool table, "What the fuck?" I mumble to myself again, I attempt to sit upon the table but my from my waist down is pinned down by something heavy, I turn around and see Jax asleep on my ass and legs, "What the fuck?" I mumble once more. I look down at myself to see I still have clothes on, well that's a bonus.

*BANG BANG BANG* "Owwwww my head" I cry to myself,* BANG BANG BANG* "Oh for fuck's sake I'm coming!" I yell out, I spot Shelby and Gunner asleep on one of the tables across from me, not even flinching at the asshole currently banging on the front door. I get out from underneath Jax and make my way towards the door. As soon as my feet hit the floor a wave of nausea hits me like a tidal wave, too much alcohol Harley you've overdone it this time I run to one of the trash cans and empty my stomach contents from the night before, it always tastes worse coming up the next day. I look down at my phone and see its 8:30 am why the fuck is anyone awake right now?!

Both of the dogs come bounding down the stairs to see whos at the door, I grab the pair of sunglasses off of Gunner's head and put them on before opening the door. "Sit and stay" I command the dogs who do as they are told, "Who the fuck is awake this early, what the fuck do you want?" I say as I open the door, I look around and see no-one, what the fuck is going on?

I go to close the door but one of the dogs begin to cry and sulk, "What boy do you need to pee?" I open the door a little wider, both dogs take 2 steps outside before they begin to whine and cry again, they begin to huddle over something on the floor infront of me, "Back boys" I command, they slowly begin to back up as I make my way towards whatever they were sooking about.
