Knowing he is probably getting ready to kill someone, I text Sully and tell him to call Koda.

I get into the truck, trying not to look at her, knowing she will pick up on my mood.

"So how did it go?" I ask, trying to just put this aside for now.

"Good, I got the job." I look over at her, meeting her gaze, that smile as big as it can be.

"It's everything I wanted Jax." I hear the excitement in her voice, how happy she is, and I'm dying inside.

"That's good Angel. When do you start?"

"I have my first event next weekend, the dancer got hurt so they needed someone on the spot, plus..." She fluffs her hair, as she bats her eyes, causing me to laugh, "I got those goldie-locks they're looking for."

"Oh, yeah."

"Yeah."

"I remember when your hair was almost white, it was so blonde." Kind of how she got her name Angel.

"It was, but it's gotten darker as I got older, kind of sucks."

I reach over and run my fingers through her long hair and ask, "So, are you free for a few days so we can go get your car?"

"Yeah, but then I really have to practice."

I pull into the restaurant parking lot so we can get something to eat.

"We'll fly out then drive back, alright?"

"Fine with me."

I chuckle as I park, and we both get out and make our way inside.

Macie

I'm so excited about this opportunity I've been given. I'll only be doing one performance, and the cool part, its live music, I will be behind the singer.

I am over the moon excited for this, and I know Jax is happy for me, but something is on his mind; He's being quiet.

All through dinner he was quiet and even the drive home.

I find myself packing a bag so we can go back home to get my car and as I pack, I hear Jax and Sully talking downstairs, trying to eavesdrop a little, but they are purposely being quiet.

It's kind of pissing me off with the silence; What the fuck did I do.

I ignore it, even though it's bothering me, and I just get myself together and grab my bag before making my way downstairs and of course the silence fills the room and now I'm really pissed.

"Alright what the fuck is going on?" I snap.

"Nothing Macie." Jax tries to reassure me, but I feel something is off.

"Bull shit; What did I do?"

Jax steps up to me, sliding his palm to my cheek, "You did nothing wrong Angel."

"Then why are you guys being so quiet around me" I look over to Sully and he avoids my gaze.

"Sully!"
