Author's Note: This story is something I've worked on and posted before, called State of Affliction. I reread a little of it and with the change of how the story was going to go, I realized I would have had to change some of the beginning so instead of going back and editing everything around, I'm just starting over. It's been years anyway so a fresh start would do me good. As for my main character, she will be portrayed by Jill Wagner. If you do not know who that is, the picture is the story's main cover photo.
Disclaimer: I, in no way, own Sons of Anarchy. I only own the characters and storyline you do not recognize from the show.
Chapter One
Haley Winston parked her black 2003 Jeep Wrangler in front of a small home with a tan pick up truck in the driveway. The tall, green eyed woman grabbed her purse and her cellphone before exiting her car, placing the sunglasses on top of her brunette head. After closing the Jeep door, she made her way to the front door, hoping someone would be home.
As she rang the doorbell, she heard movement inside. Silently thanking they were home, she waited patiently for one of the residents to open the door.
She wasn't surprised by the person who opened the door. Donna, her sister-in-law had been the one to do so. "Haley. What are you doing here?" She asked, a smile on her face as she was happy to see the woman in front of her. She moved forward outside of her home as she gave Haley a hug, basically pulling her inside as she did so.
Haley returned the hug and entered the home of her brother, his wife and his two children. "Just thought I would come see you. See how things were going."
It was rare for Haley to step foot in Charming but it was far from rare that she and Donna were close. When Haley was fourteen, her mother took her and Opie away from Charming but Opie had returned to be with the motorcycle club. Haley stayed with her mother, keeping in contact with her father, Piney, and her brother. It was the contact that was rare.
She would call her family for every holiday and only went to Charming once every couple years for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Before Opie went to jail, she had been to Charming for his wedding and when her niece and nephew were born. Once Opie went to jail, Haley kept in constant contact with Donna and even invited her and the kids over to her place every so often.
She was brought out of her thoughts by Donna's voice. "Did you hear me?"
Haley shook her head no, "I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something. What did you say?"
Donna shrugged it off, telling her it was no big deal without having to say the words. "Things are rough. Opie's working but it's not enough." She took a seat on the couch, motioning Haley to do the same. "Jax has been around. And I found Opie getting some things together in a bag one time Jax was here."
Haley knew all about the motorcycle club and the illegal activities they were into. It was one of the reasons she didn't come back like her brother did. She loved her dad and brother but she knew the things they did were wrong. She also saw the problems it caused up until the day she was taken away from it.
"Do you think he's really going back to that? He was in jail for five years." Haley hated the club for what happened to her brother and if she didn't need to get away from her problems, she wouldn't be in Charming.
The mother of two shook her head. "I don't know. Does he know you're here?"
"Nope." She told her as she laughed. "It was kind of a last minute decision. I need a break from work back home."
"I could use that but we need the money. You're more than welcome to stay here as long as you want." Donna told her sister-in-law as she got up from the couch. "You can have Ellie's room and I'll have her share with Kenny." She grabbed the keys to the truck that were sitting on the small table located where you first entered the house and looked back at her house guest. "I hate to do this but I do have to be at work soon. I picked up an extra shift at last notice."
Haley waved it off. "Hey I understand. I'll just watch some TV or something."
After a few more minutes, Haley was left alone. Donna and Opie were both working and the kids were being watched by one of Donna's friends. She briefly scanned the tables in the room, her eyes locating the remote on the end table on the other side of where she was sitting. She moved over, grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. It didn't take long before she found something to keep her occupied until her brother came home or she fell asleep. Whichever came first.
A/N: Yes I know it's a very short chapter, more like a prologue but I wanted to at least get this started and out there. I'm not really expecting reviews because not much has happened but if I get them, great!
