Jax followed Rose up the stairs finding her mid changing, he watched as she took off her top showing the red bra she had on. He loved that bra, he still remembers when she came home with the bra and the matching underwear for his birthday, it was his favorite birthday in his opinion.

Rose turned around to grab the towel from the bed and caught Jax standing there leaning against the door frame, which caused her to jump.

"You scared me." She let out with a shaky breath. She sighed and grabbed the tower walking to the bathroom avoided eye contact with him, but Jax caught her arm. He didn't like it when she ignored him.

"What's going on Rose?" He muttered pulling her closer. She sighed and leaned into his chest loving the feeling she got every time he had her in his arms.

"I don't know Jax I guess i'm just worried." She mumbled staring at her hands as they fiddled with his jumper.

"What?"

"Your keeping secrets Jax, I know what it meant when you joined the club, I know you want to keep me out of it when it comes to certain stuff, but you promised to tell me everything. I want it all Jax and that means you need to let me in, all the way." She said looking into his eyes. He sighed leaning down to place a kiss onto her lips.

"It's not just the club is it?" He mumbled holding her close knowing she could snap at any minute when he or anyone bought this topic up. "It's Tara."

Rose narrowed her eyes and went to pull away only to have him hold her tightly to his chest. "We're not talking about this Jaxson." She pulled again but had not luck. "Let me go!"

"No! You need to trust me Rose, what I did was terrible and I know it was, but baby it was a year ago and I thought we were over this."

That had made her snap and get free from his arms. "Over it?!" She shouted in shock that he would even say that.

"Wait - "

"Shut up!" She cut him off holding her hand in front of her stopping Jax from walking any closer. "I will never get over that Jax, you cheated on me with one of my friends. It was the worst day of my life to hear them words come out of your mouth but I forgive you." She paused tears coming into her eyes. "But that doesn't mean I can forget, when ever I see you two together I picture it in my head. How would you feel if i'd done that to you."

"I'd kill him." He snapped with a glare at the thought.

"Yeah well maybe that's what I need to do to show you how much it hurts every time I see you together. I mean why are you still talking to her Jaxson? Why would you do that to me? Do you love her?"

Jax was in shocked that she would even ask that. "Why would you even ask me that? I love you. Yes I made a mistake and I will regret it for the rest of my life, knowing that I hurt you like that," He walked closer to her holding onto her face so he was able to catch her eyes. "It kills me everyday and I wish I could take it back, so much. And Tara the only reason I talk to her is because she comes onto me asking about you. If it was anything else I would walk away. I think she feels just as bad about the situation."

"Situation," She whispers mocking him. "It's not a situation Jax, you cheated on me with that slut and she loves you, she's loved you since we were 16. Don't act like you don't know." She was done, forgiving Jax was hard enough a year ago, she didn't want to talk about it right now.

"Rose don't walk away right now we need to talk." He said following her to the bathroom.

"I think we should take a break." She spoke suddenly and Jax stopped in dread. "I mean we should of done it a year ago, if you could cheat on me then you must not want me right?"

"No." He snapped. "Don't do this, I love you and it was a mistake!" He started to panic running his hands through his hair. She saw this and moved so she was at his level.

"Calm down, it's just a small one for a couple of days or so. We've been together since we were 14 Jax, we've spent 4 years together and lets not forget since we were children. Maybe we need this so we know that we're meant to be." He just kept looking at her with an emotionless expression and it annoyed her. "Come on Jax how do we know that we don't want anyone else? How do you know that you won;t get tired of me and move onto someone else breaking my heart in the long run? I would rather have it now than later."

He just stood there looking at her saying nothing. Rose sighed and went to close the door when she heard him speak quietly. " I know because I want to spend the rest of my life with you, every day that I wake up to you I thank god your still putting up with me, every time I see you smile I can't help but do it too, I think about when we're older with kids, grand-kids, running the club with you by side, our wedding. Every time I think about my future your in it. I'm not giving up, if you want this break then fine, but know i'm going to be there when you finally find out that it's you I love no one else."

With that he placed a kiss on her head and walked away slamming the front door behind him. Rose closed the bathroom door and slid down it with tears streaming down her face. She didn't want this but she had to let him go, she knew she loved Jax, she wanted everything he had just said. But would it be what he wanted after this or a few years? Maybe she needed to let him go now before it killed them both.
