*~*Chapter 1*~*
Today was the day.
Today was FINALLY the day.
The day that I get to see my family again. To really get to see them. Not behind a sheet of bullet proof glass. Without me sitting at a table handcuffed to the floor. Hell yeah today was the day I finally get to take this hideous orange jumpsuit off, don't get me wrong I like orange and everything but lets see how anyone reacts to a color that their forced to wear every single day and night for 6 years straight.
The guard comes to take me to get cleaned up, he's talking, but I'm just not listening too him. I'm too wrapped up in my own head to hear his bullshit taunts. I open my eyes and take a good look at my home for the last 6 years. Jesus am I ever glad to be out of here today. Good-Fucking-Bye 8 by 10 cell, with one nasty ass toilet and a busted ass sink. Hasta la fucking vista you flat as a pancake mattress. I put my hands together for the cuffs and he takes me to the shower. The last time I have to deal with these pervvy ass guards watching me while I shower.
When I'm done they take me to put on normal clothes so I can be released into the world again. These "normal clothes" where brought here for me by Gemma. A pair of dark blue jeans, a white tank top, and a pair of white Nikes is waiting for me, as well as a red bra and panty set. The jeans are really tight, I can barely get them over my ass. The Tank top is so much worse, extremely tight and short that there's an inch of skin showing then my belly button and then more skin thanks to my low riding jeans. And of course you can see my red bra threw my shirt. "Thank you Gemma!" I say out loud, and smirk at myself in the mirror; it's good to be back baby!
Then I head down to do all my paperwork, so I can get out of this shithole. It takes longer than it should but I don't let it get me down, I get to be outside without supervision. While the clerk is taking for-fucking-ever, I run though what got me here in the first place.
I'm only 15 but my dad lets me come to some SAMCRO parties, not all because and I quote "I can't let these assholes corrupt you princess". These assholes as my dad put it were my family, they would never let anything happen to me. And as far as corrupting little ol' me, any innocence I had was ripped from my heart on my 5th birthday, but that's a story for a different time. I actually got to stay for the party the night before because we were celebrating Bobby's divorce.
It was a Tuesday, nothing good ever happens on a Tuesday. I was in my hometown of Charming, California. I was at the garage that my dad owns. Most of the guys were passed out drunk from the party the night before as per their usual. What few friends that I had, that weren't Sons were busy. So I was extremely bored.
"Sweetheart, why don't you come with me" Gemma, my step mom had apparently been watching me try to figure out what to do to keep busy. I sure as hell wasn't cleaning up after the party.
"Why? Where are you going?"
Gemma sighed. "I'm gonna run into town and get my hair done, and thought maybe you'd like to get something done to yours"
I just looked at her confused unconsciously touching my dark cherry red locks, thinking What the fuck is wrong with my hair? She must have read my expression because she continued.
"You could get it cut, or dyed, even highlights just come with me Hun" she grabbed my hand to pull me along, but I pulled my hand back. She just looked at me exasperated.
"I don't want anything done to my hair, I like it just how it is." I told her. She just looks at me like I'm speaking Chinese. So now it's my turn to continue, and I'm pissed now.
"I don't want to dye my hair, I don't want it cut, and I sure as shit don't want highlights. I like my hair how it fucking is!" The last part I annunciate like I'm talking to a 4 year old, and yell because she is still looking at me like I don't make any sense.
"Who gives a shit about your hair, stop fuckin' yellin!" Says a voice deep with sleep, I look over to see Tig glaring at me, to which I simple smirk and flip him the bird. Then I realize I basically woke everyone up.
"Well good morning, it's so nice of you all too finally WAKE THE FUCK UP!" I say laughing as Tig cringes and a chorus of curses arise from the mass of previously passed out guys. Some of the guys get up and shower so they can get to work before my dad has to come in and get them moving, none of them wanted that to happen.
See I don't remember much from that day, but I wish I had gone with Gemma. That's the only reason that the hair salon fiasco sticks out. We've argued a hell of a lot worse, over some really stupid shit, but that's what happens when you have two strong and fiercely protective females in a family.
I hung around the garage for a while helping out the hung-over fellas here and there. Then I finally got the chance to get away from the garage. My dad walked over to me where I was helping Chibs out.
"Princess, why don't you go get everyone some lunch?" I was ecstatic, I had recently gotten my license, and I'm damn good behind the wheel, thank you fellas for taking me driving when I was younger! I was so caught up with excitement and trying to walk away, that I didn't realize my dad was still talking,
"Hello, I'm not done yet. You need to get everyone's orders and wait for your escort"
"What? Dad come on I don't need anyone coming with me"
"Like hell you don't, you're a new driver and how are you gonna carry all the food to the car?"
I just looked at him. He was making excuses, and I knew it and he knew I knew it. He smirked at me and said "you can pick your escorts". So I picked Juice who was the prospect, and Chibs. My dad wasn't happy with that choice, so he said "Jax". I just scowled at him, me and my brother Jax have not been on good terms for a few weeks.
"What's wrong with bringin Juice and Chibs with me?" I said not understand what the problem was. He just looked at me and raised an eyebrow, so I did the same back to him, my crystal blue eyes meeting his identical ones.
We stayed like that for a while then "I'll go with Mac, Chibs and the Prospect." My dad blinked and I turned around smirking my ass off.
"Thanks Opie you're the best." I said walking up to him and giving him a big hug and kiss on the cheek. I rounded up all the orders for lunch and headed to get the car. Just as I was pulling the drivers door shut someone grabbed it. I look up to see my dad standing there looking none to happy.
"Mackenzi, I don't like this," he said. To which I raised an eyebrow. "This whole thing with you and the prospect."
Now I just rolled my eyes at him. "His name is Juice, Dad."
"See that shit right there" he said pointing his finger at me. "You call him Juice and I always see you two talkin to each other."
"Seriously, what the hell is the problem with me talkin to Juice?" I was beyond confused I talk to all the guys, all the time whether they're a Son or they just work at the garage
I looked up at him confusion all over my face, when it all became clear as he was looking extremely protective. So I got out of the car, and hugged him.
"Dad" and I just start flat out laughing, so I decide to start again. "Dad, there is nothing going on with me and Juice I promise. We just talk and hang out a little, that's it dad."
He's searching my face, to see if I'm lying, which I'm not. Sure Juice is hot and all but we are just friends.
He must have finally figured out that I wasn't lying and said, "I believe you Mac. But I," he looks over to the bikes where Chibs is motioning Juice towards the car, I'm just sitting back down in. He shuts the door and looks at me, "I just don't like the way he looks at you sometimes Princess."
I laugh again and motion for him to come closer, and kiss him on the cheek, "I love you, Dad." I say just as Juice opens the passenger side door and gets in.
My dad smiles at me and then looks at Juice and glares a full out warning at him, no words necessary. I'm laughing again and Juice looks like he's going to have a heart attack.
As I'm pulling out, I stop close to my Dad and roll my window down. "No worries Dad, it's the ones that are patched that you should be worried about." With that I winked and drove away, but not before I saw my Dad give me a shocked look, and say "WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?"
When we get into town, I find a place to park and we all head into the burger shop. There's a long line so I immediately look for a way to escape the crowd, and decided that maybe I could run down to the grocery store to grab some stuff while the guys wait for food.
Small towns like Charming are filled with judgment and gossip at every turn, and when you're the "King's little Princess" everything is amplified, and you get stared at A LOT. I don't give a shit what anyone thinks of me, I usually go out of my way to make sure that I make it memorable for whoever sees me out and about. But today I wasn't up to it, too little sleep and my teenage hormones were flaring. I didn't want to get banned from the burger shop again.
"You know what? Why don't I just run down and get some 2 liters from the grocery store"
The guys all turned to look at me like I insane, so I explained. "You know how gross it is when your soda gets watered down and waxy from the cups. You were just complaining about that the other day Chibs!"
Opie and Chibs shared a look and Opie shrugged. "Ok darlin' but hurry it up I'm starvin'."
I grinned and kissed Chibs on the cheek for letting me do something without a fricking leash.
I walked down the street to the grocery store, still in plain sight of the burger shop. I went in and bought a few 2 liters, making sure there was enough for all the guys. When I came out of the store I went to the car and loaded the trunk with our sodas, and turned to the guys who we back with the food.
"You got everything Mac?"
"Of course I do Op."
"You sure about that?" At this I nod, seriously how hard is it to get some sodas?Why is everyone on me about shit today? Opie looks at me obviously waiting for me to realize I didn't get something I was suppose to, when I didn't say anything else he decided I needed a check list.
"2 Coke, 2 Mountain Dew, Orange soda, Grape soda, Ginger ale, and some napkins."
I'm checking them off in the air as he listing the stuff, when he gets to napkins I just look at them, I know damn well no one said a damn thing about any napkins.
"What do you mean napkins? We have a shit load in the club house we can just use them." I say moving to get back in the car.
"Actually," I look over at Juice. "Me and Bobby used them this morning cleaning up after the party,"
"All of them? There was a huge bag of napkins I saw just last night. You used all of them?" I look at him and he just nods."Have you heard of paper towels?" he looks ducks his head a nods again. "Fine I'll run back into the store and grab some napkins!"
I run in and find the napkins without an issue, and figure I might as well grab some paper towels well I'm right there as well. I even grabbed a few snicker's bars for Tig. Everything is all fine and I'm walking back out with the paper products.
God if I only knew.
I'm waving at the guys when I see something out of the corner of my eye.
Next thing I know I'm flat on my back trying to catch my breath. It feels like I'm breathing fire.
I look around and that's when I see them, these 4 crow eaters. I had heard them a little over a month ago talking about getting pregnant by my brother so that they could always be protected and maybe he would marry one of them. I kept trying to keep these skanks away from him after I heard their stupid plan. Jax hasn't been thinking clearly since Tara left, and I'm trying to look out for him, just like he's always done for me. This is why Jax and I were having issues, because Jax being typical arrogant Jax doesn't need anyone to look out for him.
The skanks or as they were born, Brittany, Ashley, Megan and Sarah were standing over me laughing, and Ashley was hold a baseball bat. They were talking some shit but I couldn't hear over the blood pounding in my ears. But they were obviously feeling victorious and completely full of themselves, for getting me on the ground.
They just didn't realize that I'm a Morrow and we don't stay down for long, we get up and beat your fucking ass.
I stood up and just started swinging. It honestly was all just a blur to me, being pissed off and hurting will do that to a girl.
When they were all on the ground I looked over to the guys, who were just standing there shocked at what happened. It had probably been 5 minutes, if that.
So I started to walk over to them to leave, that's when it went for not good to bad. Brittany grabbed my leg as I was walking past them, at the same time that Ashley swung the bat again, this time with less power behind it, and hit me in the lower back.
I stumbled a little and fell to my knees tripping over Sarah. That's when they all got up and started kicking and punching me.
I looked over at the boys and they were running to get me, but I yelled and shake my head no. If they did something it would go from bad to horrible, I wasn't about to let them do jackshit to help me that would get them in trouble.
Because of the cut they wear, the fact that they are men, and their prior records, it would be incredibly bad for them to get in trouble with the cops over this bullshit, which I knew I could handle.
I started standing up, but these skanks didn't want me to so they were trying to push me back down. But when you grow up around a bunch of guys you learn how to fight.
I got up completely and pushed them all off me and I had a little breathing room for a second. Then I just heard their voices, no words just the sounds their voices make, and I completely zoned out standing there. So they started throwing punches and kicks at me, I finally snap out of it to defend myself.
It's still a blur to me, all I know is they kept hitting and kicking me, and swinging that damn bat. Then I was hitting, kicking, and shoving back.
Next thing I knew Brittany went flying off the sidewalk where we were fighting, into the street, just as a car rounded the corner and hit her at full speed. The others didn't seem to notice, but I remember the blood flying and her scream.
They kept coming at me.
It was difficult for me to focus, harder for me to breathe, but I had to keep them off me. I remember thinking if they get me down one more time the guys will no doubt jump in no matter what, and I wasn't having that.
Megan was bleeding from her nose and mouth so she backed up a little more than the others, and was on the ground holding her face.
They still didn't seem to realize that Brittany was gone, so I started to think maybe I was hallucinating it all, I was feeling dizzy and light headed.
That's when Sarah came at me again in a full on charge. I stepped back from her, at the same time that Ashley swung the bat again.
But the bat didn't hit its intended mark, my head. Instead it hit Sarah full force in the head, and she just crumbled to the ground. I just remember seeing a ton of blood.
Ashley didn't even look at her, she just pulled the bat back to hit me again, and I looked over at the Guys, Chibs was running over to me. And I remember thinking I must look pretty bad if he's coming at me like that and there's only one girl left standing.
So I used all the strength I had in me and I tackled Ashley just before the bat would have hit me in the head. Instead it hit me in my shoulder and I heard a load CRACK! Followed by a sharp, intense pain.
I must have blacked out from the pain because I came too with my Dad , Tig, Chibs and Jax standing over me as they were putting me in an ambulance. I just remember Chibs saying something that was completely unrecognizable because his accent was so thick.
Turned out my ribs were shattered and a few pieces were too close to my lung, and with the fighting the pieces pierced it, so I had a collapsed lung, as well as a broken collar bone and shoulder blade. A concussion. Internal bleeding, which needed surgery that I almost died during. And a shit load of cuts and bruises.
The skanks didn't fair to well either. Brittany died when she hit the car. Sarah died from the blow to the head that Ashley delivered to her. And Ashley died due to head trauma from when I tackled her, while she was trying to hit me in the head with the bat.
Apparently Ashley's family was connected pretty high up so they place the 3 deaths on me, as well as assault for Megan's injuries.
I was 15 and they tried me as an adult. And kept throwing out to the jury that I was part of a "group of motorcycle psychopaths" so naturally I was completely insane and didn't deserve anything but being locked in a cage for the rest of my life.
Fast forward a few months and I was looking at life in prison with no opportunity for parole, so I was thrown in jail, away from my family for 5 years.
But then my good friend Juice helped get me out. See turned out that the skanks were video taping the whole thing, and Megan was never too smart so she showed it to a few people, who told my Dad what they had seen. Who then went and had Juice do some "technological shit" as my dad put it, and Juice got the tape into the right hands.
They outlined their whole plan in the tape and Ashley even talked about this judge being a family friend so they wouldn't get in trouble.
The new judge went over everything, and over ruled the pervious judge. Now I'm set to get out because it was all ruled self defense and I would have died had I not fought back, hell I almost did die from what those bitches did.
"Ms. Morrow you need to sign this." My head shot up, looking at the clerk, I took the pen and signed my name across the Freedom Line; Mackenzi Morrow.
The guards walk me to the front door, "procedure and all" he says, while leering at me. I roll my eyes, yeah I get it you just wanted to check out me out a little longer in actual clothes, FUCKIN CREEP!
His leer drops from his face as soon as he opens the door. I look up and see why he no longer is being the full on creep, I'm use to.
My family is waiting for me, in all their Sons of Anarchy Glory.
I spot my Dad immedently, he's pacing in front of his bike, and he is so focused on his pacing and waiting for me that he doesn't realize that I'm standing about 15 feet from him.
Tig's straddling his bike staring off into space. Chibs, Juice, and some guy I never saw before, with blond hair, are all standing around their bikes talking. I spot Bobby, Piney, and a long bearded Opie chatting about something in the back.
The guard who had only opened the door, and never shut it, quickly muttered a curse and went back in the jail slamming the door shut.
Which caused 8 heads to snap in my direction, and when they saw me they all had looks of joy that quickly morphed into looks of pure shock to which I just busted out laughing, and started walking towards them. With all of them still in shock I did a little spin and showed off the full outfit and my officially feminine adult curves.
My Dad finally snapped out of it and said, "What the fuck are you wearing princess?"
"Yeah your right Dad it feels amazing to finally be out and free, I've missed you all so much too! Thanks for all the love!" I said heavy on the sarcasium. Which seemed to snap them some of them out of it, since they realized I have change physically, but was ultimately still the same girl that was always around the garage and clubhouse. They all mumbled some sort a greeting at me.
But I noticed that Tig was still looking at me with his head cocked to the side, not saying anything.
"And for your information you can thank Gemma for my complete outfit today, anyone got anything to say about it, good or bad, you see The Queen!" I told them all laughter evident in my voice.
Then I went to my Dad and gave him a kiss on the cheek which he returned and a big ol' hug. Chibs came over and scooped me into a huge hug and spun me around in a circle saying, "It's so good ta see ya darlin' but I didn't think I'd be seein this much of ya!" and gave me a kiss on the forehead.
Then everyone else came up to me; right after Chibs, Bobby was squeezing me, then Piney. When Opie came up to me I cocked my head to the side and looked him up and down with a raised eyebrow, before saying. "Who the hell is this Paul Bunion looking motherfucker?"
We both gave each other serious looks and then Op picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and spun me around. He's been doing this to me ever since we were little kids, him being 6 years older than me and Jax's closest friend, he's always been in the big brother role, and he took every aspect of being a big brother seriously.
When Op finally set me down I was expecting Jax to come scoop me up next, when he didn't I looked around. I'm grinning like a mad woman thinking he's gonna sneak attack me which isn't unheard of for him and me, when all the sudden I realize that Jax isn't there.
Still pissed at me? SERIOUSLY!
You will not cry just because he's not here.
He's my fucking brother and he couldn't come out for a minute to fucking see me get out?
Breathe your free! I smiled to myself. I'M FREE
Before I could wonder why I was arguing with myself, my Dad said, "Jax is doin' something for the club." I just nodded and went over to Juice who was keeping his distance, which was weird seeing as how he was one of the guys who visited me while I was inside.
"What's up, I got cooties or something now?" I whispered to him, to which he laughed and hugged me. I hugged him back extra tightly, I'm out because of whatever computer voodoo he worked.
I wasn't about to let him go quickly so I whispered into his ear, "thank you soooo much Juicy, I owe you big time Hun."
Juice whispered back, "You're free Mac that's all I wanted."
I pulled back and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. I looked around then whispered back, "You mean to tell me you just want me free?" when he nodded I continued, using our joking standard that he wants more from me according to my dad, feigning confusion and a little bit of hurt. "Like you don't want a pole dance or a lap dance from me?" Juice blushed.
When we heard a throat clear, Juice looked over my head and paled. I turned and saw my Dad glaring at us, apparently I didn't whisper quiet enough. Turning back to Juice I kiss him on his cheek and said "don't worry about my Dad, so much Juice. And thank you again." With a kiss for his other cheek.
I went to move in front of Tig, when I realized that the guy I didn't know had been standing really close to Juice and me, looking really uncomfortable. I saw that he was wearing a unpatched cut so I said, "Hey I'm Mac."
He just kept staring at me so I looked at the other guys and they were all either laughing or shrugging. My dad was glaring at the Prospect, Tig was looking at me with a dazed look on his face. Opie was glaring at Tig
I turned back to the prospect and snapped my fingers in his face. Nothing. "Hello" Nothing. Finally Chibs comes over and throws an arm around me.
"Mac this is Half-Sack, the Prospect." I turned my head quick to look at Chibs to see if he's just messing with me on this, his face although smiling, was serious. So I turned my head back to Half-Sack, still nothing, just a deep blush.
I shrug and turn to move on but stop. Turning back a little I look at the prospect and say, "I'm gonna wanna know why they call you Half-Sack, ya know. And I expect to hear it from you." He actually nodded.
Now I move in front of Tig, still seeming dazed. I cock my head to copy his, then snap my fingers in his face, "Hello, Tigger anybody home?" he grabs my hand so fast I didn't even see it coming.
"Don't put your hands in my face little girl." He sneered at me.
"Don't keep starin at my ass, get grabby, them call me little girl, you perverted asshole." I sneered back.
"Good to see prison hasn't changed you, still such a bitch." He said affection clear in his voice.
"Damn straight, good to see that you're still a dick." Affection clear in my voice now as well. He hugs me really tight and whispers "Good to have you back Pippi."
And I just laugh, Tig's been calling me "Pippi" since my obsession with "Pippi Long Stockings" when I was little, and of course because of my hair. Nickname for a nickname I guess since when I was younger and everyone was calling him Trager, I thought they said tigger so I always called him tigger and it caught on.
"It's good to be back, Old Man" I said, laughing as Tig growled at me.
"So what do you wanna do Princess?" my dad said, coming to stand next to me, as I break away from Tig.
"I want to take a long hot shower, then soak in a tub for 3 days to get this prison stench off me." Which causes everyone to laugh. Except Opie he's looking at me nodding. He gets it, I think, he just got out not to long ago too. I smile at him then I just stare at the rest of them, "I'm serious I feel dirty, like I haven't showered in years."
"Alright, who you ridin' with Mac?" I looked at Opie, who just looked back at me and repeated his question, "Who do you want to ride with Mac?"
I looked at the guys and their bikes, then back at the guys. "Oh no, you guys aren't startin this shit again! You guys decide who I ride with."
When I was little they use to do this to me. Make me choose who to ride with, then get all pissy at each other and give me their puppy dog eyes, to try and get me to change my mind. Only to be betting the whole time to see who the final outcome would be.
They all looked at each other, trying to figure out who I should go with then. I sighed "God this will take forever," I mutter to myself. Louder, "Tig get me outta here already."
Tig laughs and goes to collect his money, when the money's in his hand I snatch it from him and put it in my bra. The guys all look at me with their jaws dropped.
I smirk and walk over to Juice. "Mind if I ride with you?" I ask him, he just smiles, and gets on his bike, while I put on a extra helmet. I smirk and go to climb on when I feel just how low my pants are.
And of course Tig notices, "The carpet matches the drapes and the panties, very color coordinated Pippi, I approve."
I turn around and punch him in the stomach and arm. "Creepy ass Old Man" I tell him and walk back to Juice, who just took his cut off. I look at him wonder what he's doing when he pulls his shirt off and hands it to me, wordlessly.
I pull his shirt on, while he's putting his cut back on. Juice is still sitting on his bike ready to go, so I go over and put my hand on his shoulder like I'm about to get on, but first I kiss him on his cheek for the sweet gesture. But he moves his head and our lips meet.
Just a little peck no big deal. Then he opens his mouth and runs his tongue along my bottom lip. I gasp not expecting that at all, and Juice groans and grabs a hold of my hip as our tongues connect and rub against each other slowly.
Juice is kissing me. Why the hell is Juice kissing me? Hmmm he tastes like mints, I think to myself. Funny, good kisser, hot, fun to be around, incredibly sweet, and a great body. God why does it have to feel insanely awkward to be this close to Juice?
I pull away, give a half hearted smile and hop on the back of his bike like nothing just happened, when I couldn't be more confused. My Dad was right? Juice doesn't see me as just a friend?
"Mackenzi, get over here and ride with me." I faintly hear my dad say. When I don't move he yells, "MACKENZI, NOW", so I hop off Juice's bike and go over to my dad, who is sitting on his bike ready to go, then he says to the guys, "When we get to Charming, you all head to the club house, Tig, and Chibs come with Me too the house."
He starts his bike and we're out on the open road, heading home.
The wind caught my hair, and lashed me in the face. Ahh today was the day!
Yeah the day a guy you thought was just a platonic friend totally made out with you in front of the club.
I don't wanna think about that right now.
Now everything's gonna be weird with Juice. Always second guessing how he's looking at me, and anything he says.
SHUT IT! I'M FREE!
