"Daddy" I squealed
Jumping into my father's arms, it's been a while since I saw him.
"hey sweetheart, lets get you home" He said
I have been gone for the past three years, it felt great to be back in charming. I never wanted to leave but my dad sent me to my grandparents before I finished high school. I kept getting in a lot of trouble here. Since I graduated school two years ago I stayed one more year with my grandparents and got RN degree. I loved my grandparents but I didn't like being in Va. I couldn't wait to come back home.
I missed my dad and his club, my friends, the family that didn't have to be blood. I missed mama Gemma too. Her sarcastic and smart mouth, I always looked up to her when I was younger. She always had something to say when I got into trouble though. Always said I was like my mum and dad.
My dad picked me up at the bus station with his bike. I'm surprised he rode alone I know the club usually don't let anyone ride alone.
He handed me an extra helmet and put his on as we headed to the house.
My dad's house was pretty empty I know he usually didn't stay here anyway usually he stayed at the club house the only time he ever stayed home was when he had a girlfriend or when I was home.
I walked into my room at the house it was the way I left it with the Harley posters and pictures of my friends and family. I put my stuff away and paused looking at a picture of Opie, Donna, Jax and me on my mirror. God I missed them.
I changed into my favorite black skinny jeans and my favorite black tank top that had skulls on it. My skinny jeans were the ones I wore in the picture that was on my mirror I had quite a few ripped holes in them. The memories flashed through my head but disappeared.
My dad wouldn't tell me anything about the club or anyone for that past three years I guess he thought I would eventually forget about everyone and move on with my life. He knew I was safer away from charming. He didn't want me to come back.
Flash back
"you know your better off with your grandparents" he said
"Dad, I can make my own decisions now you know, I finished high school and made it trough college. But I miss charming" I replied
"I know, but your safer there" he added
I rolled my eyes walking around my room I was getting irritated, he just keeps pushing me away. I knew I would always be his little girl but I have proven to him enough times that I could take care of myself.
"is this just an attempt to keep me away from Jax?" I asked
"no darling, I just want to keep you safe you don't need this life" he replied
"dad, it was my life growing up its always going to be a part of me, you got to understand that" I added
"besides I'm sure I showed you by now I can take care of myself, I know you did make me come out here to keep me safe. You sent me away because I couldn't stay out of trouble" I said
"fine, riles if your ready to come home then come home" he said
I know he felt defeated and I know he wanted me safe but damn it charming was home to me
End flashback
I walked into the living room where my dad was sitting on the couch. I took in my surroundings the house hasn't changed the walls were empty besides a few pictures of the club and my school photos when I was younger. The black couch my dad sat on was still looking new.
I sat with my dad drinking a beer telling him all the things I did in Virginia and showed him some new scars I got. Everyone used to say I was a walking scar because I always found a way of getting hurt unintentionally of course.
"well you want to go to the club house I think Gemma is there" my dad asked
"definitely I miss mama Gem" I replied excited
We made it to the club house in less than fifteen minutes, my dad backed his bike up next to Jax's bike and I got off giving him the helmet.
Gemma was coming out the office of TM when she spotted me her eyes went wide. She wasn't expecting me, my dad didn't tell anyone I was coming home.
"mama Gem" I screamed running up and hugging her, she hugged me back.
"hey baby, how you been" Gem asked
"I'm better now I missed you!" I replied
I looked across the lot and saw Gemma smiling at a guy I didn't know he walked up and kissed Gemma. He wrapped his arms around her while he stepped behind her. I looked at her confused and smiled.
"This is Nero, Nero this is Riley" Gemma said introducing him
"nice to meet you" I said smiling while he pulled me in for a hug
"good to finally meet you" nero added
I giggled, a little I heard about clay but didn't know Gemma had a new man in her life.
Gemma only told me a few things that happened while I was gone, she knew how much I missed being home and didn't want me to high tail back here if she told me to much. I knew about Jax and Wendy, and Tara being back in charming. She told me about Jax having Abel and Tara trying to get back with Jax but it didn't work so she left again. Clay was gone Jax was now president of the club. But that's about it. She wouldn't give me all the glory details. Abel had to be about one years old now.
I heard a lot of noise behind me and turned around to see everyone walking out the club house now. I spotted Opie talking to Donna by the garage and ran over to them. Trying to avoid the one person I wasn't ready to talk to.
I pulled Donna and Opie in for a hug and started talking to Donna catching up on everything I missed while I was gone.
