"I don't think that's a question you want me to answer Lisa, maybe Macie will." I'm not getting in it this time, well at least not yet. Koda invited them all, wanting them to see what Macie was capable of doing. He knew what she was capable of doing and had kept it a secret just like her.

This was no dancing at the club on a pole, or only 15 feet in the air. Macie was swinging above the crowd as she was doing her tricks. I'm almost baffled by it. I really don't have any words.

Finally able to get up and get out of this extremely crowded and fucking hot ass stadium, we get out to the parking lot.

"Koda." I pull Koda to the side.

"I'm already on it."

I lift a brow, "What?"

"I'm going to take them all back to the house and you can wait for Macie. She doesn't need to be attacked by them all right away."

I huff my smile, this fucker, "You know Koda, I don't think I've ever met a brother that looked out for his sister like you."

He shrugs his shoulder, "I do it for Dad, and for myself, but mainly for him Jax; When he was sick he was so scared for her. Obviously a lot had to do with how fucking little she is, but mainly because of how innocent she used to be."

Koda looks down at the ground, I know it's hard for him to talk about his dad, he was our coach, and well, Koda's lost the drive in hockey like he had since his dad passed.

"He'd be proud of her; she's really spreading her wings." He looks back up.

"Yeah, she is." And now I really have to behave myself, I can’t lose her. She is a dime a dozen.

My phone vibrates against my thigh, reaching into my pocket, I answer it after seeing her picture pop up.

"Damn girl."

She laughs her words, "Did you enjoy it."

"I did more than enjoy it, get your ass out here."

"Meet me at my car, I’m almost done."

"See you soon Angel."

"Jax."

"Yeah."

"Is my mom really here?" I hear the crack in her voice, knowing Lisa being here meant something to Macie, and I really pray Lisa accepts this shit and doesn’t ruin this for her; I will run her ass out of my house.

"Yeah Angel, she is."

She goes quiet before I hear her sniffle, knowing she’s crying, my chest tightens, "Why are you crying Angel."

"I never thought she would show up to something of mine, Jax."

I close my eyes feeling the pain in her voice, "She did Angel, and I think she liked it." She seemed like she did at least.

"Alright, I’ll see you soon."

She hangs up without giving me a chance to say anything knowing that was her avoiding a further conversation.

I leave Koda to deal with them all while I walk to the back parking lot where her car is, before I lean against her car and wait.

Macie

I don’t exactly know why my mother being here is hitting me like it is.
