SOA-SAMCRO
Chapter 1- The Beginning
Growing up was different for me then most other children. I grew up in a small town in California called Charming. My mom was an office manager at an auto repair shop, so we didn't have a lot of money. As for my father; I was never told who he was. All my friends were boys, I never trusted girls. My best friends were Jackson Teller (Jax) and Opie Winston. They were the sons of the President and Vice President of the local Motorcycle Club.
The reason my childhood was different is because my mom's life revolved around the local Motorcycle Club (MC). The MC is called Sons of Anarchy, AKA SAMCRO (Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original). My mom was what they called a Crow Eater. A crow eater slept with the members of the MC and basically was property of the MC until one of the guys made her an old lady. My mom wasn't home very often but she loved everything she did for the club.
When I was thirteen my mom met a man named Brett Howard. He was the President of the SOA of Daytona Beach, Florida. Brett and my mom fell in love. Just a month after they met my mom moved us down to Daytona Beach. I hated my mother for making me leave my friends and extended family. Jax and Opie had always been there for me but now I was so far away and feeling lost.
After moving to Daytona I became a very angry teenager. I loved Brett; he was like a real father to me. He taught me all about fixing and customizing motorcycles. We even started building me a customized bike when I was just fourteen. My mom on the other hand seemed less and less into being a mom and just loved to party. From the time I was thirteen till I was seventeen I was arrested ten times for fighting or stealing. None of the charges got me jail time, thanks to the MC.
My new friends were pretty much like me. They all had some family member in the SOA. My best friend Kaden's uncle was in SAMCRO, so he visited a few times over the years. Kaden's dad died when she was ten due to a rival gang. She was angry at the Club for it but after growing up she realized it wasn't their fault completely.
Then came the year of my eighteenth birthday; it was a mess. The month before my birthday one of my friends was raped and beaten. My mom started doing massive drugs. Brett's business was bombing so I had to work twelve hour days. Then the one day I had off I come home to a horrifying scene. My mother and Brett were shot dead in the house. I can still remember the smell, which turns my stomach just thinking about it.
The cops believe it was a rival gang that had been in town for Bike Week. I was so angry with everyone. I lost the only parents I had. I didn't leave my room for a month. I was so lost. Kaden tried to help but just didn't know how. Finally I went into my mom's room one day and started looking around for some kind of clue. As I was going through the safe I found a phone number that said Anthony meeting the day she died at noon. Then I found a letter from my mom to me. I was surprised to see it and wonder what it could be.
As I read the letter I was completely blown away. She said that my father was Piney Winston; Opie's father. She stated that she had been with him for almost six months straight. When she found out she was pregnant with me, Clay paid her money to keep her mouth shut so it didn't cause more problems in the club. Clay became President; when Jax's father John Teller was hit by a semi truck and died two days later. I was furious with the SAMCRO chapter.
For two years I debated on going back to Charming to confront Piney and Clay. Instead I stayed in Florida and followed the clues of my mother's death. The closer I got to this Anthony the more I found out he was from a rival MC. The problem was it was one from California. Kaden and I found out he was part of the Mayan's MC.
Tigs came down to visit Kaden and her mom for a week. I was happy to see him but was too afraid to ask him about the Mayan's. A month later I hopped on my motorcycle and started my way to Charming without thinking. I was glad Brett and my mom had a nice life insurance policy; which allowed me to live without any worry.
It took me four days of riding to make it to the outskirts of Charming. I stopped at a small hotel and showered still wondering what I was doing. As I checked my phone I saw Kaden had been trying to call me. Once I told her where I was she wanted to come out too. Before I could disagree she hung up and was getting a flight out.
I sat in the small dark room wondering what I should do next. I was hungry but wasn't sure if going into Charming was a good idea. I started riding down the road and saw the Entering Charming sign; without one thought I sped up and went into town. As I got into the downtown area I saw a familiar small restaurant so I stopped. After being gone for almost six years everything still looked the same. I can still remember hiding from Clay and Jax's mom Gemma (which is also Clay's wife) with Jax and Opie. Jax was lost after his father died but Clay stepped up to help him through it.
Jax was a good kid but after his father died a part of him changed. Then Gemma married his father's best friend Clay as Clay took over SAMCRO. He was angry and didn't want to be around his mom or Clay. Before I left they had reconciled and things were better for him. I wondered if Jax would go into the Son's. He always wanted to be like his real father John.
When I finished eating I walked outside but my bike wasn't where I had parked it. I was angry and a little worried. I drew the gun I carried as I looked around. As I rounded the corner of the building I noticed a bike but it wasn't mine. The gas tank had SOA on it and I wondered who it was. I knew it wasn't Tigs bike or Clay's. It was one I didn't recognize.
Suddenly cold hands clasped around my eyes and pulled me backwards toward the wall of the building. I was a little freaked out but I began fighting back right away.
"Chloe, stop" The voice was very familiar.
"Jax?" I turned to face my one time best friend. He pulled me into a hug quickly.
"What are you doing here?" His smile was bright.
"What I can't visit?" I laughed.
"Of course you can but after everything that's happened I didn't think we would see you…" His voice trailed off.
"I just needed to get out of Daytona. So I figured I would come visit." I lied I could tell he wasn't buying it but he let it go for now.
Jax told me that my bike was by his in the back. He wanted me to come by the club. Kaden's mom called Tigs about me being in Charming so everyone was waiting to see me. I followed Jax to the club house. It was weird to see Jax. We had a history that wasn't just friendship but every time I saw him after I moved he seemed more distant.
As we walked through the parking lot to the club house I got a good look at Jax's kutts. I realized it said he was VP of the Mc now.
"What's with this?" I pointed to the VP patch.
"Following in my dad's footsteps" He shrugged.
"You ok Jax?" I could tell something was different about him.
"Just a lot of shit on my plate now" He looked at me then away. We hopped on the bikes.
"I heard about your son, I am so sorry Jax." I knew his son was a premature baby due to his crack head mom.
"Thanks Chloe, just follow me." He put on his helmet and started his bike. "I'm glad you're here Chloe." He smiled before pulling out of the parking lot.
