Chapter One - The Backstory

"At which point does is stop hurting? When does it get better?" Anna asked Gemma.

It had been 6 years of Anna being an old lady but it never seemed to get easier. I guess for you to to understand what had lead to this question I should start from the start.

Back in 1986 Anna was born to Gemma and John Teller. She had 2 loving brothers, Jax and Thomas. When Anna was was 4 her brother died of the genetic heart disorder that all the children inherited from their mother. She doesn't remember a lot about her brother but she knows that he is a lot like Jax; kind, caring, loyal, hard headed and protective. The Teller Family was never far from heartbreak though. When Anna was 7 her father died. He was hit by a semi. No one believed it was an accident except the police but everyone learnt to leave the subject alone. John had no reason to hurt himself, he had a loving wife whom he loved more than life itself, he absolutely adored all his children, and they adored him as well, he had his club, he had money, he had woman and booze at every turn, he was perfectly happy...well that was the way the club saw it anyways. Those who were close to John knew the depth of his sadness. John was out of the country when Thomas had died, he partially blamed himself for the death although there was nothing anyone could do. Anna's mother Gemma had to deal with 2 other children and her grief alone, that was part of the reasons she was the strongest woman Anna knew. After her father's death, Anna's mother started seeing John's best friend; Clay. Anna had always been a daddy's girl,so when Clay started trying to win her over it went down in the worst possible way. Between the getting drunk every night and the never being home Anna hardly saw her brother. At the age of 16 he joined the Motorcycle Club their father had worked so hard to build. Anna was spending more and more time away from home as she reached her teens. At the age of 16 she was doing everything her brother was doing except dropping out of school. At the age of 18, Anna was granted a scholarship at the Chicago Medical School, and much to everyone's dismay she took the scholarship. At the age of 18 she left Charming only to attend the same Medical School as Jax's ex girlfriend Tara Knowles. After 7 years Anna returned to Charming and took her pace as the Princess of Charming once again.
