When I first met Jax I wasn't expecting myself almost cuddling with him in his bed. But here I am. With Jax strong tattooed arms around me. I don't really know why, but this made me feel safe. Listening to his slow breathing trying to sync my own breathing with him.
"Jax?" I whispered waiting for his answer.
"Mhm" he mumbled back. "You where driving while you where super drunk tonight, I just wanted to tell you that it's illegal" I whispered and turned around.
Jax looked down at me with a big grin on his lips. "Ashley Roberts are you really caring about me?" He asked and I rolled my eyes. "Yea I do. I wouldn't want anyone to drive as drunk as you where"
"Anything else you want to say?" He asked and I nodded.
"Yea, you should stop smoking" I said and looked up in his eyes. "And what would you do for me if I did?" He asked and his grin turned bigger.
"Oh god you're drunk" I said and turned away from him. He tilted his head down to my ear, "Promise me. That if Jack ever touches you, you'll tell me. Okay" his lips where slightly touching my ear and it gave me shivers all over my body.
"Ashley?"
"Yes, I promise" I said and Jax pulled me closer.
We laid like that for what felt like hours til we finally fell asleep.

I woke up by the sound of my phone beeping. Mom?
I won't answer her. When turned around and found Jax sleeping next to me. I wasn't surprised that he convinced me to stay last night. "Turn your fucking phone of" he groaned almost half asleep. "Sorry" I mumbled and Jax turned to look at me. "I have a extreme headache" he mumbled and lifted his hand up to his head. "Surprised? You where pretty drunk" I said and smiled.
"Yeah I know" he mumbled back pulled the blanket up over his head. I looked at my phone, 10 AM.
I already know that dad will be pissed when i come home. So there's no point of stressing to get home in time or something.
"I didn't say anything weird or something last night right?" Jax asked after a while. "No, or well..."
He groaned, "What did I say?" He asked and pulled the blanket down again. "Something about losing a shit ton of money..." he looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "And...?"
"And you told me something about Jack... Garcia" I said and I could see how Jax where thinking back to last night. "Yeah, I have nothing more to say then I did last night" he said coldly and broke our eye contact. "I want to understand what were going on last night, I don't even know Jack that well I've only met him a few times" I said and Jax nodded.
"Good. I've told you what you need to know. And that is that I want you to stay away from him" I watched as Jax stood up and changed to a new T-shirt before turning to me. "Ashley please do as I say?"
"I don't understand why no one ain't telling me truth about him. Everyone's like: Ashley he's bad, he's not good for you, stay away from him... but I can't really see the difference between you and him" I said. Jax took a step closer to the bed and looked down at me. "Can you just trust me for one's when I tell you that Jack is worse than me, or anyone you can think of" he said and I nodded.
"Okay"
"Good girl, now rise and shine because we're making breakfast" he said and lifted me up from the bed and threw me over his shoulder.
"Jax put me down!" I laughed and he did as I said when we entered the kitchen.
"Tea or coffee?"
"I'm a tea drinker, I don't like coffee at all unless you put tons of sugar in it" I smiled and Jax rolled his eyes. "Of course you're a tea drinker" he grinned at me before turning on the tea water.

The day went fast and it was already dark outside. "I think I need to go home" I said to Jax who was sitting next to me in the couch. He paused the TV and stood up. "Okay let's go" he said and I shook my head. "I can walk. It's not super far and I don't think driving is the best thing to do if you want to get rid of your headache" I said and gave him a small smile.
"Not a chance, I'm driving you" he said and grabbed his car keys from the table. I shook my head again.
"For god sake Ashley my headache is gone" he said and I raised my eyebrows. "You where crying about it a few minutes ago" I said and he groaned.
"You can take my car then, you drove it last night" he said and threw the keys to me.
"I'm not letting you walk in the dark alone, something could happen" he said and I smiled. "Jax the last time something happened to me when I was walking alone in the dark. Was you pushing me up against the wall"
He gave me a serious look and I rolled my eyes. "Fine I'll take your car"
"Good"
I grabbed my jacket and phone before I walked down to Jax's car. He told me to call him if anything happened.
The first thing I saw when I started the engine was the that the fuel tank was almost empty. I'll refill the car on my way home, I want to do something nice for him as a 'thank you' for borrowing his car.
I stopped at the gas station and refilled the fuel.
I looked around and saw that the gas station was still opened. I really wanted some Doritos.
I locked Jax's car and walked to the shop.
"Hey?!" Someone yelled and I turned around. A man in a hood stood next to Jax's car. "Oh wait Ashley is that you?"
I recognised that voice. Jack Garcia
"Why do you have Jax's car?" He asked and I looked around one more time. There was three other men standing in the corner of the gas station staring at me.
"I borrowed it" I said way les confident then I wanted to.
"And where is he?" Jack asked and took a few steps forward.
Jax's words were spinning in my head. He wants you...
"Im actually in a rush" I said and looked around. The men around the corner was walking towards Jack.
"Oh he told you didn't he?" Jack stared at me. "That's why you're acting like this, but you know me Ashley I would never do something like that"
"I-I...I don't know what you're talking about"
"Ashley come here you shouldn't be out here alone" Jack said and I looked at the car. Jack and his friends where blocking my way to the car.
"I really need to go, my father is waiting for me at home" I almost whispered.
"C'mon Ashley!" The three other guys where walking behind Jack.
I turned around to run but one of them grabbed my arm and pushed me down to the ground.
"I really like you Ashley so this is not because of you, you can tell your little boyfriend Jax that money isn't enough for me" I looked up at Jack with tears in my eyes before everything turned black.
