Arianna's Eyes go wide as she watches the men putting on there cuts. She smiles anyways even if it scares the living hell out of her. Gemma watches her with great detail to watch for anything that shows she's not ready to deal with what she has just learnt but finds nothing.
Gemma then tells Jax and Happy to sit down. They do as there told each sitting in a chair on each side of the bed. Waiting for what is about to be said wondering how mad there going to be when Happy says "So do tell us why we are sitting down" Gemma moves onto her bed and grabs her small hand in hers and says "So sweetheart it's time to start the healing process". With that information the Nurse excuses herself knowing she cannot handle to hear what such a young kind sweet lady went through.
Arianna takes a huge deep breath something Jax , Gemma and Happy all noticed. She looks white as a ghost so Jax says "We wont judge you nor be mad at you just lay it all out there so you can start to heal for Helina's sake".
Arianna nods at him to let him know she is listening to him so he doesn't get mad and hit her. She looks at Gemma and Gemma Whispers "I'm right here sweetheart I am not leaving you I will be here until the end" The young lady nods and looks at her baby daughter and then takes another deep breath. Happy and Jax realize how much she isn't ready to actually do this but Gemma wants her to do it.
Arianna looks around the room and at the roof as she begins to cry softly. As she starts her story as she says " When I was 14 my mom died, I didn't know anyone in lodi except my mom. She kept me away from people unless she knew them well. My uncle out here wouldn't take me he said I would be a runner like my mom. So this man came into the welfare office with some sort of proof to say he was a long lost uncle on my dad's side. I had never met my dad or my family on his side I had no idea it was a lie until 6 months later when he began to assault me. He raped me lots that first night and hurt me a lot too. He was not a nice man. He let his friends have turns as well. I was beaten and raped over the next 3 years. I even had cuts on me and broken bones. When I hit 17 I ran away. He got drunk one night and he left the basement door unlocked something made me check it and I left with nothing but the clothes on my back. I met this girl while on the streets and she took me to her apartment. Her neighbor was so nice he spoke to me a lot and tried to help me through it all but it turns out he wanted sex too. That's how I fell pregnant with Helina. Anyways the man who claimed he was my uncle seem to have found me and he beat me up. That's how I ended up here and with her born so early. And that is my story and I am scared because if he knows I told anyone he will hunt us down and kill us and anyone I told with us" She begins to cry harder and Gemma leans in and hugs her whispering "Shh you have us now and he can not get to you anymore"
Happy thinking about her story says "When are you turning 18 or are you 18 now?"
Arianna looks at him and says "I don't turn 18 for another month"
Jax is looking at her with a raised Eyebrow he was hoping she was 18 already so he wouldn't feel bad for checking her out but now he knows she is not legal yet.
Happy says "When you get out of here you will stay with either me or Jax or Gemma. No option of staying alone you will pick someone" The young girl nods so wanting to pick Jax or Gemma but can sense already she would be safer with the crazy looking one with the tattoo's. Gemma says "You can pick Happy his your safety blanket I know I would pick him too" Arianna hugs Gemma tight and says in her ear "Can we come spend some nights in the week with you?" Gemma smiles and says "Of coarse I would love that" Arianna looks at Jax and he says "It's okay to pick Happy" Arianna nods and then looks at Happy and says "I guess you know my choice now then" Happy nods and says "Oh but I will have rules"
Arianna nods and says "I don't doubt that for one minute about you having rules" They all laugh at Arianna's answer.
