Liana

Liana Teller Morrow will always be defined by who she was raised by. Even though Liana did her own things separated from Samcro there will always be there. She was raised and taught to be a certain way that many people would be against and not understand. Liana stood out not just because of what her last name represented but in every way possible. In society they saw her as biker trash, and in her family she was always trying to be something she wasn't. She was raised with rules and protocols, her life was supposed to be controlled. Liana Teller Morrow was born to be a pawn in whoever chose to claim her as his. Yeah there would be respect, and only if she would be lucky to find someone that would treat her the way she would need to be treated. In her mind women shouldn't be claimed nor treated like property. Liana wanted freedom to do her own choices.

When you saw Liana she didn't match the description the town painted on her. Her blue eyes were not representing a cold conniving person, they seemed to represent something pure probably the only pure thing to come out of Gemma Teller Morrow. Appearances can fool you, she did come from a family of criminal thugs. She was molded and represented the future and past of the poison in Charming.

Typical American girl, she wasn't and never acted like someone would expect with her upbringing. Just like her mother, her family was her strength. Her family was the one thing that would eventually bring her down. That was all her family was good for, everyone was a target. She was as mysterious as a new person in Charming. Usually from where she came from everyone seemed to know everything. Secrets and lies were what seemed to keep them whole, it seemed to make them what they were.

Liana was not a damsel in distress she was strong but that did not mean she was unbreakable or untouchable as her mother thought. She knew her place and never crossed it, she was taught to show respect to every patch member. She always seemed to be protected by the Sons, if you messed with her you were much safer dead. She seemed controlled of her life. Then again life had other plans.

~A~

At twenty five I had figured well more like tried to convince myself that I was living life the way I wanted it to be. I was in a great relationship and had a successful business, even things with my family were going good. Everything seemed to be going good which only meant one thing in this life it was the calm before the storm.

My relationship with David was going at a good pace. We had made it thru eleven years even though our family on both side didn't want us together. At first my family saw it as an advantage to use David's career choice after Unser retired. When David didn't get on their plan or pocket, they were all up on arms that we were not supposed to be together and that I should choose a side. David's family from the get go was against it, like if at sixteen you knew that the person you were with was the one. We had chosen to ignore whatever they said, this was for us not for everyone else.

We had known each other since we were young, there was just a line that was formed by our parents. It was mostly done by how both our families stood with society. David came with a family of wealth, I came from people that were judged without people knowing the truth. I wont say that we were sure this was going to work but we went against everything we were taught. When you choose the person that is for you nothing should matter, not every one has to approve. I guess everyone thought that after high school our whatever we had as my mother would call it was going to be over. I think that is when our relationship got stronger as we finished high school. My mother tried everything to get me involved with a son but I can say my choice was made and I wasn't going to change it.

When you have someones back in everything they choose to do it is only fair they have yours too. Accepting someone that was your uncle as your father was not hard for me since I knew it was what my mother wanted. I even accepted taking his last name out of respect to Clay for adopting me, calling him dad took time but I chose to call him that it wasn't forced it in many ways he earned it. I would of expected to have Jax on my side since I was there for him with Tara and now his crank whore ex wife, and soon to be mother of my nephew Abel. Jax was the one that took it the hardest even ended up challenging David while we were still in school or every time he saw him. He even tried to forbid me from seeing him that didn't work that well. Now our relationship is a lot better as we aged, even though he still hates David but I cant blame him it's personal and has nothing to do with me this time. Dad only has a problem with David's vendetta against the club. The guys of the club just love talking shit about him in front of me, I just let them talk.

I wanted something that I could look forward to every day or actually have something to do rather than spend my time at the club. So when I went to my mother five years ago with the idea that I wanted to open a bakery she at first thought I was crazy since I did not know anything about baking. Then out of nowhere my mother thought it was a good idea for the club to be involved to have another legitimate business. I had to back her down and told her that I wanted to do this alone and that it would belong to me without the help of Samcro hopefully.

Well first I needed to know if Sel my best friend since elementary was still interested in baking. I knew she had talent and she was wasting it at the supermarket as a cashier. Once I got the I have your back in this from Sel I needed a loan. Well getting a loan did not go as plan, being said no by people that looked down on me made me try my hardest to succeed. Even though I didn't want Samcro involved in my business it looked like that was the only way to go. I needed their help and it was time to try and get an agreement with my father. I went straight to the club after being said no like for the sixth time and I had to contain myself and my Teller temper as I walked out of the office of those assholes.

"Mom where's dad?" I asked standing by the door of the office not even going in.

"Well hello to you too, he is at the clubhouse." said mom putting down the paperwork probably wondering what I was up to, but right now I was not going to get sidetracked.

"Alright thanks" I said already heading to the club house as fast as my feet could carry me without running. As I entered the clubhouse I noticed only Hap and a few Nomads were there dad was no where in sight. Only really trusting Hap I decided to ask him if he had an idea where my father was.

"Hap" I called out as he was standing at the bar.

"Yeah" said Hap not even looking at me as he was writing something.

"Do you know where my dad is." I asked hoping he knew before I lost my confidence to try and manage a compromise with the club.

Hap looked toward my direction as he pointed toward the chapel "He's with Tig, he will be out in a bit" and then went back to what seemed like a map.

"Alright thanks Hap" I said as I began to tap my fingers on the bar. I was probably frustrating Hap since he put his hand on top of mine to stop me.

"Sorry" I said as I moved my hand away from his as the Chapels doors open.

"Liana" said dad as he stepped out and saw me.

"Dad we need to talk" I said as I began to walk to the kitchen. Since I was young when I needed to talk in private with him it was the kitchen where we would go. I still remember when I got in trouble with Jax he talked to him in the chapel and then he talked to me in the kitchen. That really did show me the different treatment of this club.

"Wait do I have to kill him, because Hap is here and ready" said Dad referring to David.

"Yes I am" said Hap getting up and turning to face us.

"No" I said quickly before Hap announced how it was going to be perfect.

"Alright just making sure" said Dad raising his hands as he smiled at me.

"Can we talk please"

"Alright" said dad as he made his way to the kitchen.

"Well asking for a loan anywhere with my name has been a bust" I said as I tried to control my nerves and really hoped it went my way.

"You want Samcro as your partner now." That is what the club offered they would front the money if they became my business partner. When I said no well that didn't go well with everyone.

"Um I need you to do something for me dad" I said hoping he would at least give me a chance. I knew the club was not hurting for money at this time.

"There is only one way we front that money and you ain't agreeing to anything."

"You know I thought maybe like if you have a chance you know to bring it to the table of me getting a loan without being partners you know since I am your favorite and only daughter." I smiled as I looked up at him.

"Alright I will bring it to the table but I don't know if it's going to pass."

"Oh thank you dad" I said as I gave him a hug.

"Calm down it's not a for sure thing." he said as I let him go and nodded.

"Okay" I answered as I grabbed my things and headed out of the kitchen.

"I'll send someone to let you know" he said as I walked out.

~A~

I decided to go straight to the apartment as I had just moved in and David had just brought his stuff as we had decided to move in together after I finally left the nest at twenty while David had his own apartment. Even though mom was against me moving out I let her choose the place so that calmed her a bit. I changed into shorts and a house shirt to start unpacking boxes before mom came and controlled how it should look like. I heard a knock I almost killed myself as I ran to the door hoping I would get the answer I was hoping for. I didn't even check just opened the door to find Hap on the other side.

"Don't be opening the door like that" said Hap as he walked in.

"Sorry" I closed the door as Hap entered and looked around.

"They voted no, only way is if you become partners." as he said that I tried to hold my tears back. I guess they had their reasons but I was going to stand my ground. Tears were threatening to fall now but I wasn't going to turn into a crying baby especially in front of Hap.
"I guess I have to find another way. You want something to drink." I said as I went to the kitchen as Hap followed me.

"I thought Pussy boy had cash" said Hap referring to David with a name he had given him as he looked around the apartment.

"I wanted the business to be mine not me and David's" I said as I passed him a beer. Hap then takes out an envelope from his cut and put it on the table.

"Hap I'm not becoming partners with the club" I said as I looked at the envelope and back at him.

"It ain't the club, pay me back when you have it" said Hap. I just went at him as I hugged him I was way too happy to care about protocol. What surprised me was that he didn't push me back but he accepted the hug and hugged me back not as hard as I was probably hugging him.

"Thanks Hap really like thanks" I said as I let go really fighting the urge to hug him again.

"I'll see you around" he said as he kissed the side of my head and walked out. I had a chance to have something that was all mine.

Well Five years later Liana's was was a success all thanks to Happy. Now being the only bakery in Charming thanks to Samcro's protection that I have to pay for every month. Dad actually came in with Jax and they literally said you pay or you go away. How much professional can they get if they tried not to laugh thru the whole threat. It really does helped the business, but it also causes chaos.

I can finally say that everything was going great for now, but like always nothing stays that way and that is life.

(So what do you think should I continue. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.)
