Aww thanks everybody for the awesome reviews! I am so glad people are liking this story. My avatar is what I picture Sydney to look like. I also have Danelle Ackles in mind for Stella. Also just a side note Tara and Donna do not exist in this story. Please continue to review!
As I pulled up into the lot I briefly thought about Opie. We have been seeing each other for a couple months on and off. We used to date in high school and have tried several times to make it work. I, however, am not exactly the submissive type. He is probably going to be so pissed that I am moments away from storming the clubhouse and tearing into his Vice President but he is going to just have to get over it.
"Hey Stella! Opie isn't here he is out on a repo." Said Rat the prospect as I slammed my door shut
"Shut up and make yourself useful, point me in the direction of Jax." I say and the prospect eyes widen.
"He is in the office with Gemma." He stutters out.
I don't even acknowledge him as I walk off.
As I walked towards the office realize Gemma doesn't even know what is going on.
"Jackson I don't understand this, I gave you a pass yesterday but now I want to know what's going on."
"Mom all you need to know is that I made a mistake. I am going to fix it I swear. I just need to stay at your place for a little while."
"You are not staying with me until you tell me what you did."
"He cheated on Sydney" I said as I stepped into the office door. "Twice."
"You did what?" said Gemma as
her eyes widened in shock.
"Mom it was a mistake. Look I am not having this conversation." Jax said as he tried to move towards the exit
"Actually that's exactly what you are going to do. Now sit down." I demand slamming the door.
"Stella cut the bullshit this has nothing to do with you."
"Like hell it doesn't. Sydney is my best friend and the best damn thing that ever happened to you and you just couldn't keep it in your damn pants could you? Your disgusting! I hope she divorces your sorry ass!"
"I don't have to listen to this. This is between me and Syd okay. I made a mistake but I am going to fix it. So you just stay the fuck out of it okay." He says as he pushes past me
"Jackson Teller I am only going to say this once so you better listen. I have never been disappointed in you until this moment. Sydney has stood by you through all the bullshit that has been thrown at her. She accepted the club and never once said anything about your commitment to it. She has made a great old lady and you shit on that. She might not ever forgive you and quite frankly I'm not sure you even deserve forgiveness but you better try to make this better for the sake of my grand baby you got me?" Gemma said in a firm voice as Jax just turned and walked out. He didn't look back as he sped off from the lot.
I realized in that moment that the love Gemma had for Sydney went far beyond just a daughter in law.
"I ask him last night what happened but he wouldn't answer. He wouldn't even get up this morning for work. He just rolled in about 5 minutes before you did. Shit this is bad. How is she holding up?"
"She is at work today but I don't think very well at all."
"She should be at home. Stress is not good for the baby."
"Yeah I know I told her to go home but she said she needed to be at work."
"I'm gonna swing by and see her."
"Yeah she needs all the support she can get. I have one more stop to make before I head back." I say as we walk towards the lot. "I gotta have a little word with Taylor Reynolds."
"Oh you've gotta be fucking kidding? That's who he dicked around with? Well look no further she is in the clubhouse with Lyla."
"Great one less trip. Thanks Gem."
As I walked into the clubhouse I immediately spot her at the bar laughing with juice. ' oh yeah she is just really beating her self up over this whole thing'
Her eyes get big as she sees me approaching
"Juice can you excuse us." She says as she starts to fidget.
"No juicey why don't you stay. It's really a great story. You see Taylor here is not only a slutty homewrecker in her little movies, she apparently likes to take her work home with her. The only problem is you fucked the wrong person." I say as all the eyes on the clubhouse turn to us. I know I am probably going to get in trouble for doing this so publicly but all I care about right now is making her pay.
"Stella I never meant for anybody to get hurt.
"Sydney might have bought that shit the other night about you just feeling oh so guilt but make no mistake little girl I can smell bullshit a mile away. You are so fucking jealous of her. You wanted what was hers and after you had it and Jax was out of town you couldn't wait to rub it in. Showing up at her house is low even low for a cum guzzling slut like you."
"Don't you dare try to act like you know how I feel. I feel terrible. I have always like Sydney. I made mistake."
" Your damn right you made a mistake you both did." I say as I walk towards her "The fact that."
"Stella what's going on here?" Opie's voice booms through the clubhouse.
"I am about to teach Taylor here the error of her ways." I say never taking my eyes off her.
"I don't understand what's going on."
"Don't act like you don't know." I scoff.
"I really have no clue what your talking about but the clubhouse is no place to handle your girl drama."
"Don't condescend me Harry Winston. Your asshole of a bff Jax fucked this two bit whore twice and Taylor was so very guilt ridden about it she went to Sydney's house to come clean"
Opie looked legitimately surprised.
"Okay I get your upset but can we at least talk about this privately. I'm sure Sydney doesn't want this played out in front of everyone."
"Your right Op." I say with a sigh as I stalk towards Taylor "I'm fact we shouldn't be talking about this at all." I slam her face into the bar before anyone can stop me. "Every time I see you I will make regret every setting foot in this fucking town." I whisper in her ear as the blood runs down her face.
"Goddammit Stella." Opie grumbles as he throws me over his shoulder and stalks towards the door. "Clean her up and get her out of here." He orders back at Juice.
Sydney POV
I hear the door jingle as someone comes through, assuming it's my next client I tell them I will be right there.
"It's me baby." I turn the corner to see Gemma standing in the lobby.
"Gemma I really can't do this right now." I say as tears threaten to fall from my eyes.
"I am not here to say anything I just wanted to check on you."
"I'm holding up okay. I have a client coming in any minute now. Can I just call you later or something."
"Okay Sydney but baby listen to me I will not let you shut me out okay. I am not going to pressure to forgive Jax okay. I love you like a daughter and I know my son is a complete dick. I'm so sorry that this happened. As a mother of course I want you guys to be able to work this out but as a old lady I understand that might not be possible. I want you to know we are still family though no matter what."
I needed that more then I had realized. I needed her to understand my point of view. Never in a million years did I think she would. I don't even realize it but before I know it I am falling into her arms. We cry together for a minute before Stella walks through the door.
"Before you say anything Sydney just know I am pretty sure I broke her nose so your welcome."
"Stella please tell me you didn't."
"Oh yeah she did. Damn I should have went in with you."
" I would have done more then that but Opie carried me out all caveman style. Now let me in on this hugging you two got going on."
She was clearly very proud of herself and I have to say so was I. Looking at her and Gemma, I realized that maybe just maybe I would find a way to be okay again someday.
