"Hello?"
"Where are you El?"
"I'm meeting a friend at a party."
"Are you wearing something slutty?"
"Alexandria Quinn, I'm checking your closet when I get home!" Alex laughed at her sister.
"When will you be home?"
"In about a hour."
She heard her sister huff into the phone. "Seriously? We've been through hell the last two months you deserve to have a good time. Get drunk, get naked, get laid! Stay out all night! "
"Alexandria, I'm locking you in your room until you're 45!"
She heard Alex laughing. "I'll be fine. I'm going to finish my homework and go to bed."
"I'll see you in the morning!"
"Don't get knocked up!"
Eliot ended the call with her fifteen year old sister, that girl was going to be the death of her. She put the phone in her purse and got out of her Escalade and walked across the parking lot to the clubhouse.

Chibs watched the women walk from the SUV, across the parking lot. She wasn't scantly dressed like a croweater or a sweetbutt. She was very modestly dressed, her jeans hugged her hips, her black top clung to her curves, not in an obvious way, just enough to peek the imagination. He wanted to undress her slowly and see her body. She wasn't heavily made up, she had a natural beauty about her, her hair was shoulder length waves. He wondered, how it would look spread out on his pillow, or on his chest. He couldn't make out the color, in the dusk, he watched her come closer to the picnic tables. She was just reaching the lights of the patio when he could see her auburn colored hair, her eyes were a dark green, her lips were full and pink. He was tempted to grab her, and find out if she was a croweater.

"Well, if it isn't Eliot Williams!" She stopped and smiled.
"Hmm, Jackson Teller, get your studly ass over here and give me a hug." Jax walked over and swept her up in his arms, swinging her around, he kissed her on the lips. She winced a little from pain, didn't let him know she was hurt. The clubhouse doors swung open with a loud bang.
"Hey bitch tits! Want to get your hands off, my man?" Jax dropped her to the ground. Eliot spun around and looked at the woman.
"Well, you shouldn't leave a stud like this alone." She walked over and pushed her. "Who you calling bitch tits? Ho bag? Everyone knows there's enough Jax to go around! "
Both women stared each other down, a crowd started to gather around them, they both started laughing the hugged.
"El, good to see you! I've missed you!" She looked at her friends arm. "What did you do to your wrist?"
"I've missed you too, Tara! Broke it!"
Tig looked confused and looked at Jax. "No cat fight? That's so not right! Why? Why did they have to tease me like that?" Jax looked at Tig and laughed.
Tara and Eliot walked over to Jax, arm in arm. "El, you remember Tig, and Chibs? " She smiled at both men and shook their hands.
"Of course, I do!"
Chibs suddenly felt like an old perv, he remembered the young girl from when Jax and Opie were teenagers. She smiled at both men, her eyes got wide as she was lifted off the ground. She tensed for just a second from pain and fear before she relaxed.
"Ellie!" She was placed on the ground gently, she spun around and jumped into open arms.
"Harry!" She laughed.
"When did you get back?"
"Last week!"
"And you're just now, letting us know?"
"Long story!"
She smiled at her three friends, in high school they'd been inseparable. When she left for college her mom had packed up Alex and went with her, she told Eliot because she'd miss her too much, later she found out it was a pack of lies.
"What brings you back to Charming?" Chibs asked.
"That's an even longer story." She said quietly
Tara pulled her to one side. "Everything okay?'
She let the stress of the last two month go and started to cry. Tara pulled her into a hug and let her cry. Jaz walked over to check on them, he noticed Eliot crying.
"Who's ass am I kicking El?"
"I'm fine. It's been a hellava two month!"
Opie noticing Eliot crying walked over and pulled her into a hug. "What's his name? I'll beat his ass! For making you cry!"
She looked at her three best friends and knew she made the right decision to come back home. She knew she and Alex would be safe here, maybe she could find answers to the questions that her mom had left unanswered ten years ago.

They walked her over to the picnic tables and they sat down.
"Spill it!" Tara said.
Eliot took a deep breath and exhaled getting ready to tell her story. She wasn't sure where to start, at the beginning, in the middle, or what brought them back to Charming.
