ars since Clara had been in Charming, California, and it felt damn good to be back. She had missed the little town and all the trouble that came with it. Clara had left Charmimg when she was 18, right after she had graduated high school. And now after completing college in Australia, she was back in her home town.

Her flight had landed around 9 in the morning, and after gathering her things, she quickly made her way to the clubhouse. She was praying with every fiber of her being that he wouldnt be there when she arrived.

After about 30 minutes of driving she finally pulled into the lot of Teller-Morrow Automotive.

She glanced around quickly, scanning to see if he was there. After realizing he wasn't, she slowly climbed out the car, slamming the door shut behind her. She made her way over to the office, checking to see if Gemma, her mother, was in.

Before she could even reach out to turn the knob she was being swept up in the arms of one of her favorite Sons.

"Good god ye've grown up lass!", exclaimed Chibs.

She laughed as he twirled her around, "I see you have more grey than when I left.".

"Blame yer brother for that. Pain in me arse that boy.".

"Do you know where I could find mom?".

"Right here darlin'!".

She was consumed in yet another bear hug by her mother.

After John had died and Gemma hooked up with Clay, they had Clara, in the hopes that Jax wouldn't be all alone.

"Hi mom, how've you been?".

"Good, even better now that your home. Why the fuck didn't you call me and tell me?".

"'Cause you would've made a big deal about it ma'.", said Jax

She flinched at the sound of his voice. She was still upset with him about what had happened before she left for college. Him and her father, Clay, were the reason she left. What they did to her had left her broken and scarred. But no matter how much she hated them for it, she still loved them at the same time.

He turned towards her and waited for her to say something.

"Hey Jax.".

"Hey, look, I know you probably don't want anything to do with me, but id really appreciate it if you would sit down with me later tonight and lemme explain myself.".

She looked down, contemplating her new cowboy boots she had gotten in Australia.

"Sure. Later.".

He nodded and headed towards the garage.

"Don't be too hard on him lass. He was only doing the brotherly thing.", explained Chibs.

"Yeah, well it doesn't really matter anymore does it? He doesn't want anything to do with me, and I guess that's for the best.", she laughed morbidly, "It always ends badly with a Son doesn't it?".

Chibs could only sigh and nod, knowing it would do more harm than good to lie to her.

"Well its Friday and there's gonna be a party as usual. You should come, see the boys again, we've missed you something fierce lass.", he grinned ridiculously.

She couldn't help but smile back, "Okay, but only on one condition.".

"Anything.".

"If he's there, promise me you'll interference Chibs.".

She watched as he brought his hand to rest over his heart, "I swear on my mothers life lass.".

"Good, I'll have your balls hanging on my truck if you don't.".

She grinned, and walked with him into the clubhouse, hoping once more, she wouldn't have to see his face tonight.
