My hands were shaking, a mixture of nerves and excitement, as I drove down the familiar streets of Charming. The place had become a second home to me when I wasn't in Australia. I had left a number of years ago, needing to return back 'home' and to my so-called family. But now I was back. Back where I belonged with my adopted family. I just hoped they would still see me as that. Family.
Pulling into Teller-Morrow, I could see him straight away. Although sporting longer hair and a beard, I still knew who he was instantly. I slowly came to a stop in the middle of the driveway, knowing it would get his attention.
Stepping out of the car I quickly adjusted my dress and hair, wanting to look my best and not like I had been driving all night.
'Are one of you outlaws gonna come help me with my car or are you immune to doing legitimate work" I yelled, tilting my head slightly to the side and smirking. I knew this would get a reaction out of him.
He started towards me, a scowl growing on his lips.
'This is going to be funny' I thought.
Slowly I lifted my sunglasses onto the top of my head and smiled.
'Holy shit. Sarah?" he asked. My smile grew. He quickly shortened the space between us, picking me up and giving me one of his famous bear hugs.
'Finally im home' I thought. ' My real home' We stood there for a few seconds before he released me, kissing me gently on my forehead.
'I can't believe you're back' he said smiling.
'Who's back', someone yelled from behind us. The sudden interruption broke us apart. Looking up, I saw who the voice belonged to.
'You're favourite girl' I called out without hesitation. Stepping out from behind Jax, I instantly locked eyes with him.
Tig's eyes lit up as he recognised me. Rushing towards me, we hugged. After a few moments he stepped back.
' Didn't think id be seeing you around here again" He said looking down at me with a pointed look. Knowing I wasn't back just for a visit.
'I missed my family' I said, starring up at him with a look that told him not to ask any questions.
'Look who's all grown up." Looking up, I saw Bobby walking towards me.
'Well it has been 10 years' I said smiling as Bobby pulled me into a hug.
'Is someone gonna move this damn car out of the way or will I have to do it myself' someone called out from the office. Breaking apart, I looked up to see none other then the Queen herself. I had wished she wouldn't be here. As I stepped out from behind Bobby, I could see her face change as she realised who I was.
'Oh. You're back.' She said 'Never thought I'd see the day when you'd have the nerve to walk back into TM', she said. The bitterness and angry clear in her voice.
I looked around nervously trying to figure out what to do. She always made me feel so unwelcome and nervous. Like she could pounce anytime. The silence grew more awkward as the time went on. It felt like hours had pasted before anyone spoke.
'Just get the damn car out of the way' she said hastily, as she stomped back into the office.
'Well it seems someone's been missing you darlin' Jax said. A little too sarcastic for my taste.
'Whatever', I said, jokingly punching him in the arm. 'So when am I gonna be able to see Tiny?'
Everyone looked around uncomfortably. Suddenly no one was willing to look me in the eye.
'What's going on Jax?' I said confused. Something must be wrong. 'Where's Tiny at?'
Moving his hand to his face, Jax swiftly moved his hand across his mouth and down his beard. A nervous habit he must have picked up.
'He's out on a run. Wont be back for awhile.'
'If he's only out on the run Jax, why is everyone acting like someone died?'
As the last word left my mouth, the air seemed to thicken with tension. Bobby and Tig were suddenly very interested in what was wrong with the car they had been working on.
'I need to show you something Sah.' He said. The way he was looking at me I knew something was wrong. Something had happened while I was away.
'Come on. Ill drive' He said walking towards his bike.
I followed. Grabbing the helmet he offered and grabbing onto his shoulders as I swag my leg over the back of the bike. My body was shaking. Just like it had a few minutes before as I was driving into TM. But this time as we drove out, the shaking was due to fear. The fear of the unknown. The fear that my day, my life was suddenly about to become worse. The fear that I was about to find out something that would change me and change the reasons I needed to come back to this town and back to my family.
