Beautiful Disaster

I never believed in the whole "love at first sight" bullshit. Then again, I've never been in love with anyone before, every guy I liked my brother Opie and his

best friend Jax would beat the living hell out of him. When guys found out that Opie Winston was my brother they wouldn't even want to be in my vicinity,

therefore I was labeled undateable by every guy at my school. Eventually I graduated and moved to Arizona, I loved Charming but I wanted to venture out in

the world, I wanted to be an independent woman. At least I thought I did. I found out quick that a girl moving to a town all by herself is not the safest thing, I

had to defend myself on multiple occasions. I'm glad that I was trained by my dad to always carry protection just incase of an emergency. I kept telling myself

that I was happy away from all the madness but something about Charming kept calling me back. I just recently agreed to go back to Charming, and I would

work at the Teller- Morrow Auto shop until I find stable work out there.

I looked outside of the window of my airplane seat and sighed. The guy next to me was drooling all over himself and the girl on the other side of me wouldn't

stop talking. I was about to tell the girl to shut up but the pilot was signaling that we were about to land.

"Thank the lord", I grumbled and rubbed my temples. We finally landed and I leaped off my seat running to the exit, I hated airplanes more than words could

describe. I got off the airplane and took a bus to Charming. I was excited yet so nervous to go back to Charming, I left when I was 17 and it has been 11 years

since everyone had seen me. I recalled all the stupid things I did to pass time in Charming, but I was now 28 and more street smart than I was back then.

I got into town and walked to the clubhouse. I knocked on the door but no one answered. I waited for 5 minutes and decided to pick the lock. I let myself in

and looked around the clubhouse. I went into the garage and looked around.

"Hello? Is anyone here?", I hollered and I heard some shuffling.

I walked towards the bar saw a man hunched over grabbing something from underneath the bar. He stood up and was organizing the bottles of alcohol,

making sure all of them were nice and tidy. He was about 5'11 with a strong build, he had a Mohawk with tribal tattoos on the sides of his head. He turned

around, saw me and seemed startled. He furrowed his eyebrows and scanned me closely. I couldn't stop staring into his eyes, something about him drew me

in.

"Oh shit! Who are you?!" He asked confused.

I chuckled and he blushed slightly. "Well, my name is Caroline, and I picked the lock because no one answered the door-" He cut me off and seemed even more

confused.

"And what are you doing here exactly? You know this is a-

"Motorcycle club, Sons Of Anarchy. Yup. Well aware, now are you just going to ask me questions or are you going to pour me a drink?" I smirked at him and he

smiled. My heart skipped a beat, he had a cute smile.

"Whatcha want?"

I laughed and grabbed the whiskey bottle, pouring myself a glass.

"Whiskey. I've had a long day on a plane with annoyin ass people so whiskey sounds like a dream at the moment" I stated and took off my coat.

"Where ya comin' from? Let me guess…Colorado?"

"Nah, Tuscan Arizona. I went to University of Arizona out there for a while but I decided to come back. It was getting boring out there you know? I

guess a part of me missed the craziness here." I took a big swig of my drink and took a deep breath. I'm was glad to be back in Charming.

"I'm from Queens, I just decided to move here and I met the guys, I haven't looked back since." He just stood there and stared at me for a moment. It wasn't a

mean stare, it was more like he was trying to study my face.

" What's your name?" I asked bluntly and he smiled widely.

"Juice. Well my name is Juan but I go by Juice. Long story" he explained and poured himself a drink. "You got a boyfriend?"

I poured myself another glass and cleared my throat. My cheeks flared up and I laughed nervously.

"No. I haven't had a serious relationship since my freshman year in college but that ended badly..it was my first serious relationship, and let's just say I'm glad

I'm here and not there. The guy was a total asshole ."

Juice was about to say something but the door busted open and everyone walked in.

"Oh hey guys, this is-" he began to say but I hopped out of my chair and rushed to them and was immediately greeted by Jax.

"Munch! How the hell are you? I haven't seen you in forever!" He squeezed me tightly and smiled at me.

"Jackson Teller I told you not to call me that! It's so embarrassing!"

Juice looked at Jax and then back at me. He was trying to process what was going on.

"Where's my Caroline?" Chibbs hollered. "I missed ye! Yer so big now!"

"Chibbies!" I hollered and jumped into his arms. He embraced me and held me tightly.

Tig came up behind him and smiled at me.

"Hey now! No hogging the munchkin! Oh god, you're so beautiful! I can't wait to beat up the fucker that tries to date ya", he chuckled and I punched him in the

arm laughing with him. The last people to come in were Clay and my dad. I gave Clay a hug and turned to my dad.

"Pop." I smiled at him, kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly. "I missed you. How're you holdin' up? You keeping up on the meds and everything?"

"Yup. I got your brother to nag me to take them. I missed you, I'm glad you're back. You look so much like your mother now."

I scowled and walked back to the bar.

"W-wait. She's Pinney's daughter?" Juice blurted out and looked at me strangely.

"Yup. Opie is my brother and Pinney is my dad."

He looked at Pinney and then at me again. He looked back at Pinney and asked "How did you make her?"

I blushed and took a drink trying to hide my face.

"Hey. Watch it boy. She's off limits, hands off my little girl."

I rolled my eyes and was about to protest until Jax approached me.

"Hey munch- I mean Care, I got a kid on the way. And my ex-wife is in the hospital, you wanna tag along? He's gunna have surgery tomorrow."

"Your ex-WIFE?! You were married? Since when?! You're supposed to marry me remember? You promised when I was 5 that we would get married when we're

older! I leave for 11 years and you're breakin the promise? What a dog you are Jackson." We both laughed and I got my drink and chugged the rest of it. I got

up and walked towards the door and turned to Juice.

"Thanks for the drinks Juice, let's do it again sometime", I smiled and winked at him. He had a goofy smile that followed after what I said.

I walked outside and grabbed my old helmet with my make on it. I hopped onto his bike and he revved the engine.

"Hey, that idiot didn't bug you did he?"

"Who Juice? No! Not at all! He was fun to be around…he seems…sweet."

Jax snickered and looked at me funny. "We're talkin about the same guy right? The goofy one with the tattoos on his head?"

I socked him in the arm and he laughed. I missed being around Jax, he was like a second brother to me. We drove to the hospital to go see how the baby was

doing. The baby was prematurely C-Sectioned out of the mom because she had a drug overdose. I walked into the room and saw Tara, Jax's ex-girlfriend.

"Trashy piece of shit", I growled as she walked by. She turned to me and I glared at her.

"Caroline. You're here, unfortunately."

I walked closer to her and got centimeters close to her face. We've fought before when we were younger, and I won by a landslide. "Don't get on my bad side.

Bitch." I hissed and Jax pulled me away.

"Hey! Hey! Care, Tara is assisting in Abel's operation, can't we get along just this one time? For me?" He pleaded with me and I sighed.

"Take me to my nephew." I stated and Jax showed me to the room where he was stored.

The baby was so tiny, he seemed like I could fit him in the palm of my hand.

"He's 10 weeks premature. They say he's got a 20 percent chance of makin it…"

I grabbed Jax's hand and stared at the baby.

"He's gunna make it Jax…I know it. He's a Teller after all, he's strong" I murmured and rested my head on his shoulder.

I heard footsteps behind us and I turned to see Gemma. I let go of Jax's hand and wrapped my arms around Gemma tightly. She was like the mother that I

always dreamed of, she was by best friend and someone who I looked up to when I was little.

"Hi sweetie. You just came in today?"

I nodded and I couldn't help but smile like an idiot. I had my family here again, it was lonely being by myself in Arizona. My family was here in Charming.

"I was just coming in to check if everything is okay, I gotta get back to the shop to get some business done. You alright if I go?" She asked Jax and he nodded.

"Can you take munch with you? I'm going to stay here a while."

Gemma agreed and I followed her back to her car. Before we got there I spotted Tara and we exchanged glances for a second. I held my eye contact, but she

turned away quickly and acted like she was doing something important.

"I know baby, that bitch irks me too. I wish I could just beat the shit outta her."

"Don't tempt me", I joked and we both laughed.

We drove to the shop and everyone was there still. I heard a sound coming from the garage and I went inside. I saw Juice trying to fix his motorcycle, and I

just stared at him for a while. He looked so focused on what he was doing. I was studying his face for a while also, he was very attractive.

"Whatcha doin'?" I asked and he jumped up abruptly.

"Shit! Oh. Caroline, I just uh…fixin my bike. What's up?"

I grabbed a stool and placed it across from him so that I could see what he was doing more closely.

"I just wanted to say thanks for the talk and the drink. And I'm sorry if I scared you when I just barged in the clubhouse…I tended to do that a lot, force of habit I guess."

He laughed and put down his tools. He looked at me for a second and seemed like he was thinking about something.

"Why didn't you tell me you're Pinney's daughter?"

I stayed quiet, I knew that it was going to happen again. Juice would be scared to be around me because of my dad, Jax or Opie.

"You would've looked at me differently if I told you I was Pinney's daughter right? You would've talked different, acted different, and maybe even not talked to

me just to be safe and I don't want that. I've seen it all before Juice, every guy I think is attractive is always scared away because of my dad, Opie or Jax.

That's why I was never in any serious relationships because Opie or Jax would kick their ass to leave me alone. They were way too overprotective and I think

you know that about them too…so please, don't act weird because I'm Pinney's daughter. I'm his daughter but I'm also a grown woman who can make her own

decisions."

Juice was smiling like an idiot after my rant and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"You think I'm attractive?" He asked and I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"That's what you got from that whole rant? Jesus Juice you really are a goofy idiot", I chuckled and he laughed also.

"I promise I won't treat you differently because you're Pinney's daughter or Opie's sister okay? Pinky swear", he held out his pinky and I smiled widely.

"You better keep your promise Juan", I held out my pinky and we pinky swore.

I could feel my face heating up by the moment. I couldn't understand why he made me feel this way, I just felt genuinely happy to be around him.

"Okay. It's official.", he stated and I was about to walk inside to see everyone but he stopped

me. "Oh, hey Care!"

I turned and he smirked at me.

"You're hot" he stated and winked at me. My heart skipped a beat and I stood there for a moment happily. I didn't know how to react, but I knew I liked this

feeling. I didn't want it to go away.
