Ria Murdock's Story

Lolly watched Jason's back as he left. Overwhelmed, She threw herself on her bed and cried more then she ever did in her life.

---

Ria finished packing finally. She couldn't deal with them now. Her grandmother wanted her to visit her for a while and now she had a reason to go. She sighed heavily. Now she knew why she felt a little guilty when she told Lolly she and Jason was dating. Lolly wanted him. She could have said so instead of just fucking him. "Ugh!" She huffed and threw down her luggage.
Most people thought Ria was nice and sweet...and compared to Lolly. She was but to any other girl, she was down right mean. She wasn't as sassy but she had a temper on her.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, she arched an eyebrow and opened the door.
"What the fuck do you want?" She said as she saw Lolly on her porch. Lolly looked sick. Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy. Her face was unnatural pale. Ria felt a twinge of pity until she remembered what happened. "Look, Ria. I can't even begin-" She stopped when she saw Ria's bag. "You're leaving?"
"Yea. I'm going to see my grandmother in Ireland until school. What. Do. You. Want?"
Lolly took a breath. "Everything that happened. I wanted to apologize. I mean, I wanna make this right." She said and Ria rolled her eyes. "You wanna clear your fucked up conscience. You fucked my boyfriend, Lola!" She shouted. "The one I lost it too but you knew it." She said. "You know, I went over it in my head a million times. You wanted Jason. You did and You took him." She said and Lolly didn't say anything. "He was gonna let it go. You couldn't. You saw the opportunity to kiss him and you knew he wouldn't back down. Not from you." She said and turned to her again. "You always needed to the center of attention and now you are. I seriously hope it sucked to have explain how you fucked my boyfriend with a gun to your face." She said and Lolly closed her eyes. Ria just scoffed and went back to arranging her bags. "Look, Ria. It was wrong. I know that but I'm not here for me. I don't expect you to forgive me but Jason. He-"
"Fuck him. Oh wait, you already did!" Ria shouted. "You want me to forgive him? He fucked me ad you the same night. I heard thought the rumors were fake, but he really is a community guy!" Ria probably would have a kept that to herself if she weren't so pissed but it was too late as Lolly cocked back and punched her hard in the face, she held back enough not to completely level her. Ria fell backward into her bags but recovered quickly and rushed her out the door and they tumbled down her porch steps. Lolly's wrist twisted some but she hardly felt it. She grunted as Ria punched her in the face. Lolly having grown up around nothing but guys, was used hits much harder then Ria's so she took it without so much as a blink. She grabbed her hair, forced her down and climbed on top of her. "Everything was my doing. Mine. If you wanna blame anyone blame me. Don't you dare put this on him!" She hollered at her. Ria fought underneath Lolly's grip but to no avail. "I do blame you!" Ria barked. "I blame you more then him!" She screamed and threw her head forward and hit her in the nose. Lolly fell backwards and Ria got to her feet. "You got him to chase you! You got him to kiss you! You got him to fuck you and you got him shot!" She barked. "I will never forgive you." She said and went back inside as Lolly held her bleeding nose. Lolly got up and made her way home. She didn't know how much Ria's opinion mattered to her and now she hated her. She hoped that if Ria could forgive her. Then she could maybe forgive herself but now...She'll never forgive herself.

Jason had been in the garage for awhile on his own, he was somewhat calmed down now. He headed out to grab a drink when he heard Ria's voice on the other side of the door, she was talking with Red. Jason didn't really need anymore drama so he just figured he'd wait till they were gone. He heard Ria tell Red that she was going to Ireland till school, and the fight she had with Lolly over everything with Jason. He heard Ria start mentioning some of the things she told Lolly and some of the names she called Lolly, as Jason's anger was rising up again, it was true that nobody except maybe Beau was more protective of Lolly than Jason, and hearing Ria say these things was about to send him over the edge again. Red kept trying to calm Ria down, but she continued with the verbal bashing of Lolly...and that was it.

Jason literally kicked the door open making both Red and Ria jump. "Get the fuck out of here right now!" Jason snapped, Ria may have been furious herself but she'd also never seen Jason look the way he did right then either. "We were just talking Jason..." Red said trying to calm the situation, "last time I checked she didn't have a fucking patch and she's no Mama either...so get the fuck out" Jason snapped again.

That's when a prospect popped his head in, seeing Jason yelling at Ria and Red he decided he needed to step in. "Hey listen, just cause your dad is the Pres doesn't mean you own this place" the Prospect said. He was in his late thirties, he was stocky and solid with rather large arms and the typical biker beard. "Hey listen, this is just a private conversation okay" Red said, as she seemed to be the only one in the room who saw the warning signs flaring up, she saw Jason as being just like Deacon and they had the same tell-tale tells that they were nearing the danger zone, and Jason was clearly on his way there. "Listen this guy gets fast tracked in cause he banged some slut..." he never got to finish the sentence. The prospect outweighed Jason by a lot, and definitely was bigger than the teen...but Jason was a Walker and that made up for any disadvantage. Jason punched the prospect in the jaw staggering him backwards. The Prospect regained his feet and charged Jason, tackling him to the floor, but no sooner had they hit the floor, Jason had flipped over and managed to get ontop of the the prospect, and immediately started raining down shots to the prospect's face, first with his fists then switching to his elbows.

Jason was finally pulled back, he looked back and saw Beau being the one who pulled him back. The prospect was bleeding pretty badly as he slowly got to his feet. "Thanks Beau....this fucking kid's got a bit too big for his brtiches" the prospect said, not realizing Beau had been there a bit longer than just the fight. "What did you call my daughter?" Beau asked in an icy cold tone, Jason just grinned "fuck man if he was willing to shoot me....you're fucking dead" Jason said laughing. Beau just stared at the prospect, "running would be a smart move right now asshole" Jason said, the prospect realizing his major mistake took Jason's advice and disappeared. Beau just gave Jason a slap on the back as he walked into the garage.

Jason then saw Ria still standing there, "So you think I'm just some mindless dumbass is that it?" he said turning towards Ria, his eyes still burning. "That's what everyone thinks right? I can't think for myself is that it, some girl smiles at me or kisses me and I just do whatever she asks....WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I AM!!" Jason practically screamed...it was enough to even start scaring Red, let alone Ria. "NOBODY FUCKING MAKES ME DO ANYTHING", things were red-lining for Jason at that point, "I wasn't baited, I wasn't seduced, lured or any of that bullshit! I knew exactly what the fuck I was doing...Lolly didn't make me do anything I didn't want" he glared at Ria, "and thanks...for awhile I was actually feeling bad about hurting you like that...but all this, what you said about Lolly and the gun in her face....and oh yeah, the fact that your anger towards Lolly was more important to you than sticking around the hospital to see if I actually lived or died...well thanks, I don't feel nearly as bad....cause I promise you this...right now if you were a guy....you wouldn't be walking out of here!" Jason punched the wall beside him, making a hole, he then stormed out into the parking lot. Jason was like an exposed nerve and pretty much any contact he made with people was just aggravating him further.

As Jason stormed out Red quickly grabbed her phone, there was only one person left who could pull Jason back from the edge he was on right now. She found Nickie's number and sent her an urgent text.

Lolly made her way home. She checked to see if her nose was broken and thankfully it wasn't but her face was brusied up pretty nice. She iced her face and decided she just wanted to sleep. She climbed into bed and dispite her nose still bleeding, she could still smell Jason all over her sheets. She sobbed into her pillow. She wanted to talk to Jason but she knew it would only end in more yelling from him and more crying for her. Now, all she wanted was to have Jason back on her side. She wanted her best friend back. Both of them. Ria would never forgive her. She wanted to be angry still for her calling Jason a Community guy. It was something they called guys who fucked just about anybody. They were like a community pools. 'Open to the public.' It was funny then but now. It pissed her off yet she could only get but so mad. Ria wouldn't have said that if things hadn't gone down the way they did. With that, Lolly ended up crying herself to sleep.

---

Beau watched as some stupid Prospect called his daughter q slut in front of Jason. Jason was already on egde, He saw that so Beau didn't even bother stopping him until Jason got hit. Beau decided it was his turn so He grabbed the kid up. It was like pulling back a pitbull, Dangerous and only a few men had the balls to do it. Jason looked up at him and saw that it was in fact Beau that did it and seemed to be able to calm him some. Beau glared as the prospect spoke and Jason instigated. Beau was a big man, easily 7ft and though he looked big, it was all muscle. He was not a man to be triffled with as that prospect would find out later. Beau would deal with him later but for now. He had to keep Jason from killing someone. He gave the kid a pat on the back and decided that he'd go check on Lolly. When he got home, he went up to her room and peeked in. She was sleeping but she kept heaving every so often, the way she did when she cried. He didn't know what happened between her an Jason but it wasn't good. That girl never cried this hard. Only one person has done that and unfortunately it was him.

---

Ria was actually terrified as Jason screamed at her. She wasn't Lolly, who wasn't afriad to yell back at Jason. She jumped hard when he punched the wall and took off. She clapped a hand over her mouth, trembling. She decided enough was enough. "I-I gotta go. My flight leaves tonight."She said to Red as Red frantically dailed on her phone. Ria almost ran home, she was so scared. She didn't know how Lolly did it. How she could handle that.

---

Nickie was over at the garage almost immediately. "What the hell is wrong with you, Screaming at Ria like that?"

Jason was on his bike as his mom pulled up. She jumped out of the Cadillac, asking him why he was screaming at Ria. He looked at his mom.....anyone else on the planet and he would have snapped at them, but he lost his temper on his mom once...he wasn't sure he'd live to survive a second incident.

"What the hell is wrong with you Jason?" Nickie asked. She could read her son like a book...Jason and Deacon both reacted with anger to cover any other type of emotion....only Nickie could decipher which emotion that anger was masking, she knew right away...Jason was hurting, which was the most dangerous state, as the Walker males didn't talk well to hurt like that, it made them feel vulnerable and neither Jason nor his dad took kindly to that feeling. Jason still didn't say anything, Nickie knew she'd get nothing out of him standing in the KOA parking lot, "get in" she said pointing to the car, Jason paused for a few moments then got into the car.

Nickie started driving, not saying anything for awhile, "you better have a damn good reason for screaming at Ria like you did Jason" Nickie said in a stern motherly voice. "I had to say something...she was slamming Lolly. Talking about her like she was some sort of slut, saying how she was glad Lolly had to go through what she did in the hospital with telling the whole waiting room and stuff...it's all bullshit...I mean Ria kept talking about how she blamed Lolly, it was her fault, she lured me into it...nobody made me do a damn thing" Jason said spilling out to his mom finally. "So you and Lolly are together now?" Nickie asked, that's when she saw just how bad things were for Jason. They were on an empty highway, just Jason and Nickie, and that's maybe the only place Nickie would have witnessed it....she looked over and saw her son's eyes starting to tear up as he stared out the window, trying everything to hold back the emotions. His mom had always been the one person who could disarm him almost instantly. "Jay...it's just us" Nickie said softly, and she soon saw one tear roll down his cheek "We're not together....Lolly figures Karma is going to kill me or something....so she wants to be with me, and I want to be with her....but it won't ever happen" Jason said, his voice on the verge of breaking, "so much for fucking showing people your emotions...it just fucking blows up in your face" he said.

Nickie shook her head, this was perfect! Her son finally opened himself up to somebody and got shutdown..."good lord this kid won't ever open up to anyone again" Nickie thought to herself. "Jason, I mean...no, I don't buy that Karma stuff either, but Lolly does. And if she believes it, with you getting shot and everything...she's going to think that because she cheated on Ria's boyfriend, she'll believe that you two getting together means something bad has to happen, as punishment" Nickie said, trying to explain Lolly's point of view. "I know all that, it just doesn't click with me....she wants to be with me, and I want it...that should be enough" Jason said shaking his head. Nickie smiled, "it's terrifying how much like your father you are, you know that" she said with a grin. "Listen...there were a million reasons why me and your dad should never have been together....but that didn't stop us, if it's meant to be you just got to let it run it's course" Nickie said.

They drove a bit more in silence when Nickie spoke up again, "Listen...I know you were sticking up for Lolly...and I may have had some words for Ria hearing her say those things. But you have to realize Jason...know matter what you feel about Lolly, what you did to Ria was wrong, you hurt her, and you need to make that right. You're not the only one who does things they regret when they're hurting and angry" Nickie said. Then Jason recognized the area, "where are we going?" Jason asked, Nickie grinned, "you scared that poor girl half to death...you're going to make amends before she flies out of here" Nickie said as she pulled up to Ria's house.

------------

Jason stayed on the porch as Nickie walked up to the door, she rang the doorbell and was glad Ria was still there. "Listen honey...before you fly your pretty little head out of here...things need to be sorted out" she motioned for Jason and saw the look on Ria's face, "it's okay...I'll smack the taste out of his mouth if he tries screaming at you again" she said shooting Jason a warning look.

"Listen...sorry for all that back there. I get protective over Lolly and just kinda lost it hearing you say those things....but I guess you're not exactly in the best place right now either" Jason said shuffling his feet a bit, apologizing wasn't one of the things he did well. "I shouldn't have hurt you like that...with Lolly....it was a jerk move, and I'm...." he saw Nickie shoot him a glare, "...I'm.....sorry...for hurting you like that. You don't have to forgive me....you wouldn't be the first one to hate me, and I just want you to know that I wasn't trying to play you or use you...everything I told you was true. And that line about the hospital....I dunno, even with everything that happened with Lolly....it just hurt when you never showed up at all, I mean I kinda got it, it was weird...I'd hear nurses walking down the hall and try sitting up thinking it might have been you. Like I said...you can hate me if you want...but I wouldn't mind having you as a friend again" Jason said . He said his piece then sat there waiting to see what Ria's response was/

Ria had been icing her face from the fight with Lolly as she heard another knock at the door. She was not ready for another fight. She put down the ice and went to the door. She couldn't believe that it was Nickie and Jason at her door. She didn't dare curse in front of Nickie but she wanted to. She had a few choice words for Jason but she wasn't sure if she could say them after the way he snapped out. She was still actually scared but Nickie said she'd deal with him if he tried something like that.

She listened to him apologize and sighed. " The things I said. probably not the proper choice of words but..." She shook her head. "It hurt. Way too much. She was my best friend. I never thought in a million years she could do something like that. You either. I mean I knew you two were close so maybe I should have seen it coming..." She sighed."I guess a part of my anger was because Lolly's ...well Lolly. We do the exact same things, yet She's better then me at everything, She'd a dead eye, She's stronger, tougher, She's not afraid of anything, and She's gorgeous, she could have any guy she wanted but I had you so...I thought I finally had something she didn't, something she couldn't beat me in but then..." She felt tears brim her eyes. She didn't even realize that until now. " I don't know if I'll ever be okay with what happened I mean...you were my fi..."She stopped as her eyes fell on Nickie. "I should have came to see you but I guess...I don't know...I didn't want to feel sympathy for you. I guess if I saw you, laid up in the hospital, I would have." She said and looked at him. "I honestly don't hate you but I don't know how I feel right now and I'm still too hurt to think about it." She said and looked over at Nickie then back to him. "I really gotta get going if I'm gonna make my flight..."

---

Lolly woke up with a start. Her head swam and her face hurt. She had to give Ria credit. She hit pretty hard. Lolly took a shaking breath and decided sleep was not happening now. She got dressed in a plain tank top and some beat up old work jeans and decided she needed to keep her busy, so she'd fix up that old Bug she'd been working on for ever. Her dad had told her she could keep it if she could fix it even though she was legally old enough to drive yet. Although once when they were about 12, She and Jason went joyriding. She ended up crashing into a utility pole. Something none of the adults ever found out about. Lolly sighed. She really wished things went back to the way things were before all this shit. She pulled her hair into a ponytail and made her way downstairs. She found her father asleep on the couch. She was hard on him, she knew that. She needed to her forgive herself but she also needed to forgive him as well. Jason was fine as she found out already. She needed to let that go. She found a blanket and gently lay it over him, she kissed him atop his head and headed out.

She made her way to the garage. Most people weren't allowed there but who was dumb enough to tell Lolly what she couldn't do? aside from the fact that if Beau didn't kick their ass, She certainly would. She noticed the clubhouse was relatively empty save for a few Mama's cleaning up. She made her way through the clubhouse and it was then she heard the Mama's whispering among themselves. Talking about how she could show her face after getting the heir apparent shot. Lolly went from Melancholy to Rage in a matter of seconds. She turned and sailed over the bar, and commenced to tearing into the Mama. Destiny, if Lolly bothered to care. She sent her fist into the woman's face twice before grabbing her by the throat. "You got something to say, you stupid bottle blonde bitch?! Huh?!" She screamed as the woman tried to block but was no match for the 15 year old's flying fist. As she sent a numerous amount of blows to the woman's face as she screamed. "Say it again, You stupid cunt! Say it again!" the woman, who was easily 20 maybe 30 years old, whimpered as her face was nearly bashed in. Lolly suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around her and snatch her off the woman. Lolly thrashed violently that she was almost out of their grip. "I'll kill her, I'll fucking kill her!" She screamed and Jimmy laughed and told the woman to get lost or seriously get dead. Lolly was breathing heavy and she was almost snarling as Jimmy practically dragged her toward the garage, the heels of her shoes dragging across the floor as Destiny managed to get up and run off but before Lolly lunged at her one more time, slipping at out of Jimmy's grip. Luckly for Destiny, Jimmy managed to baseball slid across the floor and scooped Lolly up and through her over his shoulder. Lolly heard Jimmy mutter something about Lollypop taking on a whole new meaning. "Lemme go! She's dead!"
Lolly had no idea that Jason, not too long ago was doing the same thing. Those two were almost identical in their actions. Lolly was just as violent as Jason, she just didn't look it.

Everything was crazy, Jason was snapping on everyone and it was mainly because he couldn't be with Lolly. He knew he had to get his mind off of Lolly, but there was no way in hell that was happening if he was going to keep seeing her everyday. He and Nicky were good, but they needed some cooling off time too. That all led to this, as Jason walked through the doors of LAX, Ria had given him an idea, Ireland seemed like the perfect place to take off too. Drinking, bikes...maybe if he was lucky he'd be able to spend some time patching things up with Ria....and if he wasn't that lucky....there was till drinking and bikes. He saw Ria sitting alone on a seat in the waiting lounge and sat down beside her, wearing his KOA cut and a bag with him.

"Hey, you can tell me no, but do you want some company?" Jason asked as Ria's head snapped around surprised to hear his voice. Ria asked him what the hell he was doing there. "Listen...I get it if you don't want to be around me...I'm not trying to stalk you or anything like that. It's just...you gave me an idea....I'm on a hair trigger around here, snapping at you, snapping at Nicky, dealing with Lolly and stuff...none of that is going to change with me constantly hanging around here. My Uncle Louie is offering me to come down and hang out in Ireland with one of the KOA charters....so figured maybe if I got outta all the drama I could chill out a bit more." Ria questioned him about his Uncle Louie, Jason just laughed "not a real uncle...but him and my dad knew each other in the military or something...I've just always grown up calling him Uncle Louie" Jason said grinning. "I mean it...say the word and I'll leave you all alone....but, I wouldn't mind getting a chance to make up at least a little bit for everything I've done...but whatever...say the word and I'm a stranger" Jason said giving her a slight grin.

Ria had no way of knowing how much her comment hurt Jason be re-opening the wound he was actively trying to get rid of. He was more in control of himself though this time around. "Sorry...." Jason said his voice trailing, it was the only word he could get out. Jason got up and walked over to a seat a little ways away. This flight wasn't going to be fast enough...he couldn't be with Lolly, he obviously wasn't wanted around Ria, him and Nicky weren't quite there yet....he just wanted to get to Ireland, hang out with Uncle Louie and the boys, and drink beer...and lots of it. His eyes kept trailing over to Ria, dammit Ria was a great girl, good looking, and they got along great...going for Lolly was just him getting greedy and it ruined everything. He just shook his head, dammit he needed to be in Dublin right now.

---------------------

Nicky walked into the garage as Lolly was yelling for a wrench...she was alone in a garage and yelling for somebody to hand her a tool? Nicky picked up a wrench, Lolly rolled out from under the car and snapped at him. "Ya got something on your face" Nicky said with a grin as Lolly mentioned what had happened. "Yeah I talked with Jason...it didn't end that well either" Nicky said. "You want a beer or something?" Nicky asked with a grin

"No offense but...if I hear anymore about that Karma shit..." Jason's voice trailed off. He was quiet then looked up at Ria...at least she was still talking to him. "It's more than just that...I mean this is nothing...it's like, girls, dating, friendship shit...and I fucked this up, I mean REALLY fucked it all up....hell I got fucking shot..." then it hit him, "fucking hell I'm not even going to get through the damn detector probably" he shook his head. "My dad's counting on me to take over, to become Vice President one day and then take over the whole club one day....how the fuck can I do that? I can't even date a girl I really liked without fucking it up. Like shit look at this...me and you are here at an airport running to Ireland, I nearly kicked my best friend's head in, Lolly is all fucked up...I nearly got killed.....and this is just over dating and sex" Jason said, the stress getting to him more, "how the fuck am I supposed to run anything, how can anyone ever fucking trust me not to get them killed when I can't even protect myself from getting killed in the house of somebody I grew up with my entire life." He then looked at Ria and kinda snapped out of his rant, "I dunno where that all came from" he said quietly..."Maybe I should just leave LA for good" he said looking down at the floor.

------------------

Nicky and Lolly sat drinking but it didn't take long for Lolly to start feeling the effects. Nicky smirked a little when Lolly talked about how she should have just fucked him instead. He saw that if he really wanted, Lolly was probably prime picking right now, he could probably say anything and get into her pants. "Listen...let's get you to the loft so you can sleep this off before your old man catches you and kills you" Nicky said chuckling, helping Lolly into the garage and into the loft. There was a bed and blanket, Nicky laid her down and covered her. "I'm down in the garage if you need anything" Nicky said to her.

Jason sat there with his arm around Ria, he wanted more than anything to go back to Ireland, he wanted revive Matthias and make him really pay for what had happened. But he couldn't, so the only person left was whoever leaked him the information, whoever that person is...or was...they were going to pay, Jason could feel for Beau, but Lolly was close to him too, he could understand Beau wanting payback but if he wanted the traitor he was going to have to beat Jason to him...hell Beau had shot him with a shotgun at point blank, so he owed him one anyway.

Deacon walked over and sat down beside Beau, he could see Beau shutting down. "She's a fighter brother, just like her dad, if any kid could make it through this, it's gonna be her" Deacon said with arm around Beau's shoulder. It was a rare sight to see these guys showing emotion like this, but this was one of those rare occasions where the bond of the brotherhood really showed through. There were even members from KOA London at the hospital, they had no involvement or part of the incident, even though some of them probably had no clue who Lolly was...she was family.

--------------------

Back in Los Angeles Jimmy had called an open church meeting, this meant even prospects and Mama's were allowed in, something that rarely ever happened. With Deacon gone, Jimmy was the acting one in charge.

"You've all heard about Lola, I know everyone here is feeling for her and Beau....well almost everyone" he said as a murmur went through the group. "The asshole who did this had info on Lolly, info there is no fucking way he could have gotten on his own, info that could only have come from this clubhouse" Jimmy said, he was far from the reserved one, and he was doing everything he could to hold his anger in right now. "Somebody in this room sold her out, sold out Beau's little girl...the only family he's got left", the room went silent as all eyes were on Jimmy. "To whoever it was...if you haven't figured it out yet....you're fucking dead" Jimmy said coldly. "But this club respects honor....whoever it is....man up....admit it, own your actions.....and whatever your ending is, I promise you it'll be much easier than if we gotta find you ourselves....cause we will find you, I fucking promise you that" Jimmy said as he scanned the group. Members were looking around at each other, the un-asked question was who would have done it. "I understand admitting it right now would probably get you killed on the spot by everyone in this room....so when we're done here, everyone go home...I'll be in my office....you want to prove you still got balls, you'll know where I'll be..." Jimmy slammed the gavel down "We're dismissed"

Beau looked at Deacon. He let out a shaky breath and stared off into oblivion. He wanted to scream. He wanted to break something, He wanted desperately to take her place but it would do no good. That's what was driving him insane. He had to sit there. Beau ws a man of action yet he had to sit and wait.

After a long while, Deacon got up after getting a phone call from Jimmy as one of the KOA London members. Danny Boy, approached Beau. He was in his late 20's, Deep black hair. He placed a hand on Beau shoulder. "Alright then, Mate?" He said softly. Beau looked up. "Hey." he said, his voice was low. DannyBoy and a few others met Lolly over the summer. Beau made it a point to show off his daughter's bike knowledge by having her take apart Danny Boy's bike and put it back together. It worked better then it did when he got it. They all loved, respected and slightly feared the kid after that. "Ya'know. She said if I messed up my bike again, she'd throttle me. Well bloodyhell, if I didn't wipe out the week after you left. I thought. That kid's gonna fuckin pop me off." He said and Beau looked up with a small hardly audible chuckle. Dannyboy was a jokester. He was always good for a laugh even at his own expense. "I guess I'd better git while the gettings good cause when she wakes up-"


It was then that the doctor came rushing out. Everyone was on egde. Beau shot up. She looked scared. "She had another seizure but she's stable now." She said quickly. " We hoped that if we kept her stable long enough, the drug would run it's course, so long as we treated the symptoms. However, we found that the drug administered twice. She had a much heavier dosage then we first though. One was in her stomach, Then other in her bloodstream." She said. "We've pumped her stomach but it's still heavy in ger blood so she will need a blood transfusion." She said and Beau nodded. "Alright. Then do it." He said but she looked down. "Lola has a rare blood type. B negative. It's rare here and in the US. We've checked with other hosptials and having some rushed in but the supply is limited. We aren't sure if it'll be enough." She said. "This is a shot in that dark, I know but do you know of anyone with that type. You maybe?" She asked. He shook his head. "A-" He said. "Her Mother? " That hit Beau like a bus. "Her mother is dead..." He said. The doctor bit her lip. She hadn't even had time to consider as there was no crying woman in the waiting room. Just alot of men and a boy and girl. "I'm so sorry. We'll do what we can. See if maybe we can check with other hospitals." She said and rushed off.

Beau walked back in the waiting room. "She needs a blood transfusion but her blood type is rare for the UK. For the U.S too apparently..." He said and that was it. He couldn't state the obvious. Everyone in the room knew what was happening. Without the transfusion. Lolly would die.

Beau sat back against the seat. His hand covering his face, trying to think. His mind went to some strange places as he wondered who he could bleed. He wondered darkly if Mathias was a B-. He hadn't been dead that long.

Suddenly, Ria's voice broke him from his thoughts. "Um. What's her blood type?" She asked with a sniff. Her eyes were puffy and red. "B-" Beau said softly. Ria looked around to the group. The members looked at one another. "I don't even know mine..." Dannyboy said softly. Beau though he was hurting, he felt grateful as everyone asked about their blood types. They all were willing to give up their blood to save his daughter.

It was then Deacon walked in finished with his phone call and asked about the progress. Ria spoke before Beau did. "Lolly has a rare blood type. None of us have it." She said softly.

After a long wait, the doctor came out, her face was grim. Beau looked up. "There was a hospital that had B- but it'll take a day or so to arrive." She said and it was then Deacon spoke up saying something about his blood type being B-. The doctor looked hopeful. Beau looked up almost as if he was gonna say no. Deacon shoot him a look saying something about sitting down and shutting up. He wasn't doing it for him he was doing it for the kid.

Deacon went with the doctor- Dr. Douglas and then it was more waiting.

Finally after what seemed like forever, Dr. Douglas returned. "The transfusion was a success." She said and Beau sighed and started for the room. Dr. Douglas raised her hands. "She's still in a coma." She said and Beau looked confused. "How?"
"We-we never really sure when a person comes out of it. It could take days...weeks...years even. It's up to her." She said grimly. Beau sighed. "When can I see my daughter?" He asked, trying to keep the frustration from his voice. "Soon." Dr. Douglas assured him.

Days had gone by and Lolly still hadn't woken up. After a while, Everyone was able to come visit her. Ria walked in as Beau sat beside Lolly in a chair beside her bed. Ria looked at Lolly's face. It was strange to see Lolly so still. Lolly could never sit still, she hated it. She moved more in her sleep. As Ria drew closer, she noticed how pretty Lolly was. It was an odd thought but she looked so peaceful, where ever she was, Ria hoped it was as peaceful as she looked. She looked at Beau. "I'd been talking to Dr. Douglas." She said softly. "She said that, it sometimes, it helps to talk..." She said. Ria had been learning all she could from the doctor about coma care. She wanted desperately to wake Lolly up. "She told me." Beau said softly, Ria noticed, Beau's hand on Lolly's. Her heart broke for him. Ria took a seat on the other side of Lolly, looking at her. She hated that she'd had to be hooked up to all of those tubes and monitors. Thankfully, She'd been breathing on her own and her heart was at it's normal pace. Now she just had the IV hooked to her arm. She smiled some. Lolly would tease her now. Ria hated needles, she'd pick on her about it when they were younger. "You know. She'd pick on me right now." She said and Beau looked up. "I hate needles. Lolly, who fears nothing, would pick on me any chance she got." Ria said with a light laugh. Beau gave a small grin. "Like the one time, we were watching Nightmare of Elm Street: Dream Warriors. I screamed when Freddy had the needles for fingers. She laughed at me so hard." Ria said and laughed at the memory. "I remember. I came home about that time." He said recalling hearing Ria scream. If it weren't for Lolly's boisterous laugh, he'da thought something was wrong. He'd give anything to hear that laugh about now.
"I'll be taking her home soon." he said and Ria looked up then nodded. Lolly would need a nurse and Ria was more than willing to do it. She wasn't certified but there was a midwifery program at her school in Ireland that was acing. She figured she could apply those skills to helping Lolly. She was going to back to LA.
It was funny, It was Lolly that made her want to leave and it was Lolly that made her want to come back.

---

A Month had gone by and Lolly hadn't changed. Beau had her brought back to LA. Deacon had made it his main focus to find whoever this rat was -As did Jason but that was a given-

Everyone had came to see Lolly. Talk to her, bringing her gifts and what not while Ria gave them instructions on it. Ria kept at Lolly's side, she was her nurse of sorts. She would call Dr. Douglas every so often for guidance.

Ria sat with Lolly, having just finished checking her vitals and what not when she noticed some. Everyone had come to visit Lolly, Nickie, Beau -of course-, Nicky, Merc, her friends from her gymnastics team, Hell even Jimmy and Deacon. They were talk to her though Jimmy didn't talk long. They weren't particularly close, neither was her and Deacon but it seemed that after the transfusion. Deacon seemed to have a bit of a bond with Lolly. Even if she weren't conscious to feel it. The strange thing was, everyone but Jason had come to visit. Which Ria thought was odd. Lolly and Jason where like Batman and Robin. Well more like Bonnie and Clyde, they were inseparable -literally- in some cases as she found out last summer. So why hadn't he come to see her?

One day. Ria approached him about it. "You know. She'd been ticked if you didn't come to see her?" Ria said to him. He said something about being busy and that he hadn't found the time as he was looking for the rat. Had that been Lolly she would have seen right through that lie and bitch slapped the mess out of him. Ria nodded. "Okay." She said and was about to go back to Lolly's house. She'd been practically staying there since Lolly's been out He went on about not wanting to see Lolly like that, venting a bit. Ria nodded."I get it but maybe it'll help."
