A/N: Slight trigger warning for this chapter because Luke is a creepy asshole. It's not too bad but just a heads up.

The Photographs

"Juan Carlos!" Came an angry yell from the bathroom of Rose's apartment. The man in question was sat on the couch when he heard the angry yell of his name. He flinched slightly knowing that he was in trouble, again. Juice had been living with Rose for two weeks now and it had definitely been an interesting two weeks to say the least.

"Whatever it is it wasn't me" Juice yelled back not taking his eyes off the TV. He could faintly hear her grumble something under her breath before he heard her stomp into the room.

"Oh really? It wasn't you huh?"

"Nope"

"So then tell me Juice, who else would be leaving their boxer shorts on my bathroom floor?" She questioned with a raised brow. Juice turned around to face the woman who was stood there with hands on hips and a triumphant smirk on her face.

"Uh" Juice rubbed the back of his neck while nervously laughing "sorry?"

"Go pick them up while I make breakfast" Juice got up and walking in the direction of the bathroom as Rose called out to him "I find them there again and I'll kick your ass"

Rose laughed hearing Juice grumble a yes ma'am as she went into the kitchen to make a start of breakfast. The past two weeks living with Juice hadn't been bad he wasn't smothering her and gave her the space she needed, it was safe to say that their friendship had grown as well. They both had a love for video games and movies, Juice liked to teach Rose about hacking while Rose liked to teach Juice how to cook. The cherry on top of the cake was that Luke hadn't done anything since Juice moved in which was a huge relief.

"Smells good in here" Juice announced opening the fridge and grabbing the orange juice, he poured a cup for both of them before heading to the table and sitting down. Rose finished cooking soon after and the two sat down to eat in comfortable silence.

After breakfast Rose washed the dishes while Juice dried them. The two talked about their plans for the day, needing to go to TM to fix up a car a woman had brought in yesterday before going shopping. Rose honestly thought the that Juice would moan about having to accompany her almost everywhere but he never did, she could tell that Juice would make a great addition to the club.

Once the dishes were all dry and put away Rose grabbed her leather jacket while Juice grabbed his cut and the two made their way over to their bikes. Rose still hadn't gotten a new car yet and to be honest she wasn't really bothered about it at the moment, she enjoyed riding her bike everywhere. It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at TM and they could immediately tell something was wrong.

Clay, Jax, Tig, Chibs and Gemma were huddled round inside the office of TM looking at something. All five of them looked about ready to kill someone and Rose wanted to know why. "The hells going on?"

"Don't know but whatever it is doesn't look good, come on" Juice started walking towards them with Rose quickly following behind. Jax turned around at that moment and upon seeing his sister his eyes softened slightly, he walked towards her and engulfed her in a hug. Surprised Rose slowly hugged her twin brother back.

"Jax, what's going on?" She whispered but Jax didn't answer he just held her tighter.

"Church now!" Clay barked out angrily. Rose pulled away from Jax to look at the club president who's tone softened as he spoke to her "I want you there as well princess. You to prospect"

Rose looked at her brother in confusion but Jax just put an arm around her shoulder before guiding her in the direction of the clubhouse. With each step Rose's worry increased, there was only one thing that this meeting could be about. Judging by the reactions of they guys and her mother she already knew that it was bad news but she was yet to find out how bad.

As they made their way into church Jax's arm became tighter around her shoulder as he lead her to sit in the seat next to his. Despite everything Rose couldn't help but wish she could sit at this table on a regular basis. Once everyone was seated the room was filled with a tense silence until Clay spoke "Most of you have seen what I'm about to show you and we need to make a decision on what to do about this now"

Clay placed a light pink envelope on the table before turning to face Rose "This was addressed to the club but i think you deserve to know what's inside".

With slightly shaking hands Rose reached for the pink envelope already knowing who it was from. She pulled out the contents and immediately her blood ran cold. Inside the envelope were a collection of black and white pictures of her; there was one of her cooking dinner, some of her and Juice but the prospects face had been scratched out. Rose felt her breathing getting heavier as she made her way through the pictures but when she got to the last picture he breath hitched and tears came to her eyes. It was a picture of her in her room with her bare back to the window as she was getting ready for bed.

Rose felt the bile rise in her throat knowing that he had been watching her, that he had seen her like that. She threw the pictures down and placed her hands over her mouth willing herself not to cry. She could her cursing and angry words from the rest of the club, Jax was practically vibrating with anger next to her. It was then that an envelope caught her attention it hand her name on it. Her ands trembled as she opened the letter and began to read.

Dear Rosie

You like the photographs I took? Because I sure liked taking them. I hope the rest of the club enjoys them too, especially that asshole that's living with you. What's his name? Juice was it? Well he's certainly a step down from me, I'm honestly surprised that you're not sleeping with him. It never took much for you to get into my bed.

The club think they can protect you but they can't, I will get you Rose and this time you won't be so lucky, this time I'm going to make it 10x worse for you. Who knows I might even let you live afterwards just so that I can see you suffer everyday. But then again killing you could be fun as well to see that precious club of yours break apart.

See you soon beautiful

Luke

Before anyone could say anything Rose threw down the letter and ran out the room to the closest bathroom, once she got there she emptied the contents of her stomach. Moments later she felt someone place a comforting hand on her back while the other helped her hold her hair back as she dry heaved. Rose sat back after it had stopped and through blurry vision she saw Jax sit beside her pulling her to his side as she sobbed into his shoulder.

"J-Jax he...he said, he said that..." But she couldn't finish her sentence due to the sobbing getting worse.

"Shh I know Rose I know" Jax spoke softly while running a hand through her hair "I promise you Rose that I will find this bastard and kill him, he won't get away this time". Rose knew Jax meant every word he was saying, it was a promise he would keep and that helped her to calm down slightly.

After another five minutes of the twins sat on the bathroom floor Rose removed her head and slowly began to get up with Jax's help. The two made their way into the main area of the clubhouse where Chibs and Tig were stood by the bar talking in hushed tones. Tig was the first to notice them walk in and immediately held is arms out for a hug which Rose gladly accepted. She wrapped her arms around his waist as his went around her shoulders, Jax looked on with a small smile still not quite understanding how the two had become best friends.

"When we get him I'll kill him with my own bare hands" Tig whispered into her hair. Rose smiled and looked up at Tig,

"Looks like you'll have to get in line Tiggy" she pulled away and faced Chibs who gave the girl a warm smile which she returned.

"Here lass" he handed her a shot which she gladly took and downed in one, she definitely needed that. Suddenly a throat cleared from the door to the chapel and the four turned around to see a nervous looking Juice stood there wringing his hands.

"Uh Clay wants you all back in there" He said nervously. Rose was the first to walk over and gently squeezed the prospects shoulder as she passed by. Walking into the room Clay stood up giving his step daughter a quick hug before everyone took their seats once again.

"I think I speak for everyone in this room when I say we won't stop until we find this son of a bitch. He won't get away from us this time."Clay announced causing the rest of they guys to agree "Also from now on you will have one of us with you at all times, we'll take it in turns"

"That's fine by me" Rose responded

"Also we want you to move into the clubhouse, now I know-"

"Okay" Rose cut Clay off "I-I can't stay in my flat not after..." Rose trailed off as an unpleasant shiver made its was down her spine.

"Okay, I want everyone's on the look out for this piece of shit. I want him found ASAP understood" I chorus of "i's" followed before Clay banged the gavel and dismissed everyone.

Rose let out a breath as she made her way out of the chapel and sat down on one of the sofas. She couldn't believe this was happening to her all the time she had spent trying to get rid of the horrible memory of what had happened last time. Now he was back and everything felt 10x worse, the fact that he was slowly tormenting her with roses and now the photographs. God the photographs, just the thought of them and the note he left made her want to throw up again.

However despite the fear that was coursing through her there was also anger and hope. She was angry at herself for letting Luke get to her so badly, angry that she was feeling fear over him. The hope was probably the only thing that was keeping her sane along with the club, the hope that they'd make good on their promises to find the bastard and kill him. Looking around at all the people she considered family Rose let a small smile grace her tired features, she knew she was safe with them that they'd always be there for her when she needed them. She honestly couldn't ask for a better family, even though they were crazy sometimes she still loved them with all her heart.
