"How in the hell did I let myself get talked into this?" I asked myself as I drove down the road.
My phone began to ring, and I knew exactly who it was without even looking at the screen. Lucky for me that my phone is connected to my radio. I let my radio pick up the call.
"Yes big brother." I said, and I knew that he was close to his friends, because I heard chuckling in the background.
"Hey baby sister. How far are you?" my big brother asked.
I growled at the question.
"This is the 100th time that you've asked me that Cale. But to calm your nerves, I'm almost there." I replied as I passed the Welcome to Charming sign.
I bet you guys are confused. Let me explain. My name is Kaleena Danvers. And yes, you read my last name right. I'm the younger sister of Caleb Danvers. I am also the sister of Reid Garwin, Pogue Parry, and Tyler Simms. But the only difference between my brothers and I is that I don't have the power. I'm honestly happy about that because I couldn't handle ascending. I'm sorry if I'm getting off track, but I thought that you guys needed to know a little about me.
I bet you're wondering 'Why is she going to Charming?' Well, I have an answer for that too. My good friend, Layla Sanchez, needs my help. Her step-sister, Krysta, decided to open a bar/club. Krysta talked Layla into helping her, and she did, but then Layla decided to ask for more help. She reached out to me, and then she called her friend, Crystal Ortiz, as well. I've never met Crystal, but I do look forward to meeting her.
I guess we both agreed to help her because here I am driving from Ipswich to Charming. I did my research on Charming though, because my mom and Caleb were concerned, and they have every right to be. What I read about Charming scares me, but Layla assured me that what I read was false. I hope she's right because I don't think I could handle the shit that I read. I guess I'll know soon enough, right? I think that's about everything, but if I've missed something, I'll probably tell it later, so let's get back to the story.
"I know I've bugged you, but I'm just making sure that you're safe." Caleb said, and that made me feel guilty.
You see, I was there when Caleb ascended. Chase Collins took me hostage, along with Caleb's girlfriend, Sarah. Sarah was out, but I was tied to a pole, and I swear to you that I don't think I've ever screamed as much as I did that night. Seeing my brother in so much pain killed me. I'm just glad that it was over in a matter of seconds and he took care of Chase, if you know what I mean.
"I know and I'm sorry Cale." I said as I shook my head.
"It's ok sis. We've been through so much together, and we're here if you need us." Caleb said back.
"Thanks Cale. Tell the others that I love them and I'll call you soon." I said as I pulled into the parking lot of the bar/club.
"I will and be safe." Caleb said.
"Always." I said back before hanging up.
I got out of my car, made sure that I had everything, and locked the door. I checked to make sure that my gun was in my bag. Caleb and our mom didn't like the fact that I wanted to carry a gun, but I knew that if I was going to leave home at some point, then I would need to carry. I have a Glock 17 9mm. It might not seem so bad, but it does its job. I also checked my outfit. I knew that my mother and brothers would kill me if they saw what I was wearing, but I knew that if I was going to at least fit in, then I would need a new outfit. It was also Layla's idea, because she told me that she wanted me to dress to impress.
I looked at the bar/club and wondered what led Krysta to open it. I hope that I don't regret coming here, but I guess we'll see. I walked through the door and looked around. The bar/club looked great. I guess someone told Layla that I was here because before I knew it, she was running up to me.
"I'm so glad that you're here." Layla squealed as she hugged me.
"I wouldn't leave you hanging and you know that." I said as I hugged her back.
When we pulled apart, I knew that she would have a ton of questions. I just hope that she doesn't ask them all right now.
"How was your trip? Did you fly? Did you drive? Why didn't you tell me when you landed?" Layla asked.
Told you. I know Layla too well. It's a good thing that I know the answers.
"My trip was good. No I didn't fly. Yes I drove. I wanted to surprise you." I replied as I answered all her questions.
Layla just laughed and hugged me again. I hugged her back, and when we broke apart, she dragged me onto the dance floor. I knew that this would be fun, so I let myself have a little fun. As I was dancing, I kept getting this feeling that I was being watched. I discreetly looked around and saw a group of people. I had a feeling that I knew who they were, but I wasn't dumb enough to go talk to them in case I was right.
"I want you to meet some people." Layla said after the song ended.
I nodded my head and followed Layla to the group of people.
"Hey Crystal." Layla said to a girl sitting by a guy with a Mohawk and tattoos on the side of his head.
"Hey Layla. You must be Kaleena. I'm Crystal." The girl said as she introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you." I said with a wave.
I stood there for a few minutes before Layla finally said something.
"Kaleena, I want you to meet the Sons of Anarchy. Guys, this is another one of my best friends, Kaleena." Layla said as she introduced me.
I gave a little wave because I was nervous. I didn't want to say anything because I was scared that I would say the wrong thing. The group just stared at me, and Crystal took that as her cue to introduce me.
"I'm sorry guys. Kaleena, this is my brother, Juice. Please bear with me on everyone else. This is Tig, Chibbs, Bobby, Piney, there are others but their names have slipped my mind. I'm sorry about that." Crystal said as introduced me to some of the members.
I waved at each of them. They don't seem to be as bad as the articles I read make them out to be. I'm glad I listened to Layla, and I can't wait to get to know everyone.
"Now I'll take over. These last 3 people are the ones that you can't live without." Layla started and that earned her glares from the others.
"You guys know that I love you. This lady right here is Gemma. She's the baddest bitch that you'll ever meet, and she's the one that you want on your side. This guy right here is the president of the club, Clay. He's also Gemma's husband. And this guy right here, he's the VP of the club, and he's also someone you want on your side, Jax. He's also Gemma's son" Layla continued with a laugh.
I waved at them, and I was grateful for the smiles that they gave me. I guess it's my turn to introduce myself properly. I hope they like me.
Before I could say a word, Gemma asked, "So, where did you come from?"
I wasn't shocked by the question, but I figured that she would have someone do a background check on me.
"I came from Ipswich. My family is one of the founding families. I have 4 brothers: Caleb, who is my blood, Reid, Tyler, and Pogue, who are my other blood. I have nothing to hide, but you are more than welcome to do a check if you would like" I replied with a small smile.
Layla had explained somethings to me about the group without giving away too much. I was prepared for anything that they threw my way. I guessed that I impressed Gemma because she just smiled.
"I like you already. Juice, double check on her." Gemma said as she looked from me to juice.
I wasn't shocked by that and I knew that she wouldn't find anything.
"Now that you've met everyone, let's go have some fun. We'll see you guys later." Layla said as she dragged me back to the dance floor.
We had a blast, but that didn't last long, because the police came in. Well, 4 officers came in. I was confused, but Layla just shook her head, and headed to the table with the boys. I followed because I was nosy.
"There's nothing illegal going on here Unser." Layla said as we approached the table.
"This place hasn't been opened long, right? How do we know that it has everything it needs?" another officer asked.
"Is this a common thing? You guys assume that everywhere these guys go that they are doing something illegal? How do you know that they didn't come here just to have fun?" I asked.
Everyone seemed shocked. I knew how this felt and I wasn't going to let it happen again. Gemma gave me an approving nod, and I smiled at her.
"And who are you? Another whore." One of the officers said.
"My name's Kaleena and I'm here for Layla. I suggest you watch what you say because I do know how to handle my business. I'm not some whore but I don't mind killing a cop if the time calls for it." I growled.
The officer took a step toward me, but Jax got up and stepped between us.
"You better get your boy Unser, before I let my new girl off her chain." Clay said with a smile.
I giggle at that because Unser gave us a look. Unser called the guy off, but came up to me and Jax.
"It's nice to meet you Kaleena. I'm Unser and if you ever need anything, give me a call." Unser said as he introduced himself.
I shook his hand and glared at the officer that left with him.
"I really like you now. She's staying with us from now on." Gemma said as she got up to hug me.
I hugged her back with a laugh. I guess I made a good impression and I hope this continues. Layla dragged me back to the dance floor again, but this time, a couple of the boys joined us, along with Crystal. Somehow I ended up dancing with Jax.
"You ok with this darlin'?" Jax asked as he pulled me closer.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I asked as I looked at him.
Jax just shrugged his shoulders, and we just continued to dance. I couldn't help the giggle that escaped as Jax spun me around. I can honestly say that today as been fun. After dancing with everyone, it was time for the bar/club to close. We all left, and I was following Layla to her house.
"So…." Layla said with a huge grin as we walked into her house.
"So…" I repeated.
"I saw the way Jax was looking at you." Layla giggled.
"And?" I asked somewhat confused.
"Come on girl. You mean to tell me that you didn't notice that Jax was staring at you, and no matter how many girls tried to talk to him, he wouldn't budge." Layla replied with a huge smile.
I knew right then that she was trying to set me up. I mean, I did notice that Jax was looking at me, but I just shrugged it off. I figured that he was just looking at me to make sure that nobody hurt me.
"I know what you're trying to do girl, and it won't work." I told her.
"I'm not trying to do anything. I just have a keen eye for these things." Layla said with a laugh.
"Uh huh. Sure." I told her with a laugh as well.
We went to bed after that. The next couple of weeks were filled with us shopping, along with Crystal, because we didn't want to leave her out. They helped me pick out a house, and the funny thing is, the house isn't far from Gemma's house. I thought it was funny, and I'm glad that I'm not far from Gemma. We also bought stuff for the house, and some stuff for me. Crystal and Layla both talked me into going in Victoria's Secret.
"Why are we going in here again?" I asked Layla and Crystal.
"Because, I think you should buy something sexy." Layla replied with a giggle.
"Are you sure that you're not trying to hook her up with Jax?" Crystal asked with a laugh.
"Thank you. Finally someone thinks the way I do." I laughed as I shoulder bumped Crystal.
Layla shoved Crystal playfully and we walked into the store.
We bought; actually, Layla bought me a whole slew of stuff. I tried to tell her no, or that I would pay for them, but Layla is stubborn, and told me that she wanted to. We finally left after spending what seemed like hours in there, and went to go eat. I was starving. Cue the laugh. Layla, Crystal, and I just sat around and talked while we were eating and after we got done.
As we were leaving, my phone started to ring. I pulled it out of my pocket, looked at the caller, and grinned.
"Hey bro." I said as I answered the call.
"Hey baby sister. How's things going?" my other brother, Pogue, asked.
"Everything's going great so far." I replied.
"That's…" "Is that baby girl?"
I couldn't stop the giggle that left my lips after that. I knew that Reid would interrupt the conversation, but I love him to death.
Crystal looked at me confused but I mouthed to her that I would explain later. I ended up hanging up because it seemed that the boys were arguing, and I didn't really want to hear it. As Layla drove us to my house, I explained everything, well almost everything, to Crystal. I didn't tell her about the power that my brothers have, and I want to keep it that way.
When Layla dropped me off, I put up everything that we bought, which was just clothes for now, because I wanted to furniture shop on my own. I love Layla to death, but when it comes to furniture, I would rather do it alone, so I get exactly what I want, and I don't want to wonder if I get a good deal because of who she is, or who she hangs with.
I spent the rest of the day making a list of food, and other things that I need, and decided that I would go shopping tomorrow. The next morning, I got dressed, and went shopping. I ended up getting good deals on everything, and I was extremely happy. The employees were really nice, and told me that they would help me with anything I needed. I went grocery shopping after that, and I ran into Gemma.
"Fancy seeing you here." Gemma said with a smile.
"I could say the same about you, but I bet that I would see you just about anywhere." I said back with a smile of my own.
"That sounds about right." Gemma laughed.
I laughed with her, and we just went on shopping. We talked while we shopped, and as we were heading to our cars, Gemma got a call. It must've been important because Gemma left in a hurry, but not before she asked me if she would see me later. I told her that after I unloaded everything that I would stop by TM to see everyone. Gemma nodded before getting in her car, which I was parked next to mine, and leaving. I hope that everything is ok.
I headed home, unloaded my things, checked my house over, and headed to TM. I bet you're wondering why I checked my house. I did that because I'm not used to being on my own. I've always had my brothers with me and it feels weird being home alone. As I pulled into TM, I noticed that something was wrong, because Gemma looked like she was about to kill someone, and Clay was trying to calm her down. I parked my car and headed Gemma's way.
"What's wrong, Gemma?" I asked as I got closer to her.
"Oh, thank God you're here baby. Jax was arrested for some shitty charge." Gemma replied.
I knew right then what was going on, and I guess it showed because Crystal and Layla came my way.
"Who arrested him?" I asked but my question was directed at Clay.
"Unser's new deputy, Hale. I think that's his name." Clay replied.
I growled under my breath. I may not have known this dude long, but from what I've seen, he's not a good guy. I also knew that he's been circling my house. He thinks I haven't noticed it, but I'm not stupid.
"Would you like me to go get him?" I asked.
I knew I was risking a lot for asking this, but I knew that if they showed up then it would probably result in a fight, but if I went, then everything would work out.
"Would you really do that for us?" Gemma asked shocked.
"Of course. I may not know you guys like Layla and Crystal do, but I do know that you guys are awesome, and I can honestly say that this arrest was bogus. Plus I want to keep the rest of you from actually getting arrested for assault." I replied.
Clay seemed to agree with me, and I guess Gemma did too because she hugged me. I hugged her back, and when we pulled apart, I headed to my car, and went straight to the station. When I got there, I had to calm my nerves because I knew that if I didn't then this would end badly.
"What can I do for you today, Kaleena?" Unser asked as he saw walking into the building.
"I'm here for Jax." I replied.
Unser looked at me funny, and that told me that he had no idea what I was talking about. Unser led me into his office, and that's when he started asking me questions.
"What's going on, Kaleena?" Unser asked.
"Your new boy, Hale (Unser nodded), went to TM and arrested Jax." I replied.
Unser sat there and looked at me, before looking toward the door as it opened and revealed Hale himself. When he noticed me, he visibly paled. I knew that he knew he was caught. Unser handed me his keys and told me that an officer would show me to the holding cells. Hale tried to argue, but Unser told him to shut up.
I giggled at that and followed a female officer as she led me to Jax. When I got to the holding cells, the lady pointed to the cell that Jax was in. When I approached his cell, Jax's eyes grew wide.
"What are you doing here darlin'?" Jax asked.
"I'm here to get you out." I replied with a giggle.
I unlocked the cell and as soon as it was open, Jax stepped out and hugged me. I hugged him back and we followed the officer back to Unser's office. We knocked before entering, and I saw the glare that Hale sent us. I glared right back until Unser cleared his throat.
"What happened son?" Unser asked Jax.
I wanted to know the answer as well. Hale better hope that he had a good reason for going after Jax. I probably sound like a concerned girlfriend, but I know exactly how this feels, thanks to my brothers, and I'm not letting it happen again.
"Your boy came in to TM and started shit. I defended my family and I guess he saw that as a threat and arrested me." Jax replied.
I knew there was more to the story, but I was going to wait till we left to ask more questions.
"He attacked me in broad daylight." Hale argued.
I felt Jax's arm tighten around me, and I knew right then that Hale was lying.
"Is that true?" Unser asked.
I honestly bet that Unser was confused by this. I may not have known Jax my whole life, but I do know that he wouldn't just attack someone unless they attacked first, and I think that Unser knows that too.
"What do you think?" Jax asked back.
Unser looked between Hale and Jax, and then looked at me. I knew that he was trying to figure it out without making it look like he was helping the club, so me being me, I decided to help him out.
"Unser, does it look like Hale's been hit? If he was, I'm sure that he would have some bruises or cuts. Now, I'm no expert but I don't see anything on him, so that answers my question." I told Unser.
Hale went to say something but Unser gave him a look, so Hale kept quiet. I smirked at that because that told me that Unser believed us over Hale. Unser let us leave, and I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips after we got outside.
"So… what really happened?" I asked Jax as we headed back to TM.
Jax gave me a funny look, but I wasn't budging. I knew there was more to the story than what he told Unser, and I was going to find out.
"Come one Jax. I know there's more than what you told Unser." I told Jax.
Jax sighed, took a breath, and finally told me what really happened.
"What I told Unser was true. Hale did start shit, but it went a little further. He also trashed talked you. I lost it, but I didn't hit him." Jax finally told me.
I wasn't too shocked by that, but now I'm curious about what Hale said.
"What exactly did he say?" I asked.
"Exactly what he said at the club the night we all met. He assumed you were a whore and that you would probably end up dead before long." Jax replied.
I didn't know how to react. I mean come on; I told that ass that I wasn't some whore. I guess his mind is made up about me, and now my mind is made up about him. I'm not going to do anything stupid, but if we cross paths, I'm not holding back. We finally pulled into TM and when we got out everyone met us halfway.
Gemma hugged Jax and Layla hugged me. I hugged her back, and I was shocked when Clay came up to me. I was confused at first, but when he hugged me, I was in complete and utter shock. I hugged him back. After we pulled apart, Gemma came up to me.
"Thank you for bringing my boy home." Gemma told me.
"No problem. I don't mind helping when I'm needed." I told her with a smile.
Gemma smiled back before they headed into the clubhouse. I needed to get home to finish my house. I guess Jax noticed because he came back out to me.
"Where do you think you're going?" Jax asked as he reached me.
"I'm going home. I have to finish my house. Everything is getting dropped off, and I need to be there." I replied.
"Why don't I come help?" Jax asked with a grin.
I just nodded my head, and as Jax headed toward his bike, I could faintly see Gemma watching us. I probably knew what she was thinking, but I'm not trying to get with Jax. I hope that this doesn't affect my relationship I'm building with everyone because I really do like them all.
Jax followed me to my house, and helped me with the furniture. I was glad that he was here and I hope that our friendship grows. After we finished setting up, I was going to fix us something to eat, but Jax had other plans. He took me out and I had a blast. After Jax dropped me off, I finished my room and my bathroom before going to bed.
