"You're not going." Jax said shaking his head.
"The hell I'm not!" I said in a laughing matter.
"No. you're not." He said more firmly.
"Yes. I am. You are not my father." I said just a firmly as he had. I didn't care that Bobby, Chibs and Tig were in the lounge area as well.
"You don't know what those guys are thinking Whitney." Jax said shaking his head.
"Jax I've grown up around you guys most of my life. I'm not dumb." I replied "it's one night Jax; I'm going whether you say so or not. I'm 21, not 13. And I wish not to be treated like I'm 13." I said just blurting it all out.
"We don't treat you like you're 13." He said like he was all innocent.
"You're joking right?" I replied and he just looked at me like I had to elaborate. I looked around the room. Bobby was scratching his head watching, Chibs and Tig looked at each other and then back at me and Jax. "Jax, I'm watched every moment of the day. You tell everyone to look out for me, but god damn. Like Opie, I love Opie, but the other day, was it really necessary for him to tell you that I was talking to Hale? I don't go around talking about club business to people Jax. "I continued motioning with my hands out of frustration.
"I know that Whit. We just don't want anything to happen to you." Jax said a little more clam.
"I know, I know. " I said completely done with the conversation and walked out the doors. I had to go home to get ready but I realized I left my phone back in the clubhouse. I ran back in and my phone started beeping from a text message. I ran towards but a hand picked it up. It was Jax.
"Jax, give me my phone." I said as he held it up in the air. He looked at me," please?" I said as sweetly as I could. Then he handed it to me. "Thank you!" I said and walked back out. I looked at the phone. Thank god he didn't look at who was texting me, because it was Juice.
No one's POV
Jax sat on his mother's porch smoking a cigarette as Gemma sat next to him.
"What's going?" Gemma asked him.
He took another drag and looked at her. "Me and Whitney got into an argument."
Gemma simply nodded. "About what?"
"She wanted to go to the clubs with Olivia. Said I treat her like she is 13."
"Well you guys are very protective of her."
"I know, I just don't want anything bad to happen to her, so I don't know what else to do." He said taking another long drag.
"She is 21; you got to let her live a little. The more you keep her cooped up here, the more she is likely to split, believe me, I know." Gemma says looking off into the distance. "I mean she has to meet a guy someday."
Jax looked at her like she was crazy. "Baby she is a women. Women have needs."
"Now that is a scary thought. Shit."
Gemma smiled. "Is that what you are most worried about? Her finding a man."
"Man I don't know." Jax said.
"Well what if you did know him."
"What are you saying?" Jax asked looking at her, "you saying she could like one of the sons?"
"Hypothetically speaking."
Jax turned away, "I don't know. That's complicated."
Gemma simply smirked at Jax. "You know something I don't Ma?" Jax asked.
Gemma shrugged and walked back into the house. "Ma!" Jax said putting the cigarette out and walking into the house. "Does she have a boyfriend?" Jax asked.
"So what if she did?" Gemma said pulling out a pan.
"She has boyfriend?" Jax asked eyes wide.
Gemma simply laughed and shrugged her shoulders.
Whitney POV (two months later)
I stood in front of the mirror, trying to button up my pants. Finally buttoning them, I couldn't breathe. I stood there in front of the mirror just looking at myself. I couldn't believe that I was actually showing. I couldn't be that far along could I? This was not good. My clothes were beginning to not fit. This was not god at all.
Five days earlier
"Shit." She said taking the first test and throwing it in the trash can
Three minutes later...
"Shit!" she said tossing the second one in the trash can
Three more minutes later…
"Shit! I'm so fucked"
This was not good. Her relationship with Juice was still a secret. Jax had been acting weird as well. Sometimes he would watch me, but not like before, like he was trying to figure something out. Gemma told me about the conversation that they had had and that he really didn't believe that I had a boyfriend. He was just trying to give me space and tries not to be over protective, which I appreciated but sometimes he couldn't help himself. He had asked me if I was seeing anyone and I miraculously got him to believe I didn't without telling him I wasn't. So technically I wasn't lying to Jacky boy, but I just wasn't telling him straight forward. But this, this would be hard to hide. I was slowly getting fatter, and none of my clothes fit I hadn't told anyone that I was pregnant. Shit I just found out a couple days ago. I don't even know how far along I was. I don't know what to do. Gemma would flip, so who do I turn to. Who could I trust? Viv had gone on another trip, so she was no help. I was terrified to tell Juice. I don't know how he wouldn't handle it. I feared he would want me to give it up but I couldn't. I just couldn't get rid of a life like that for our stupid mistake. I don't even know when it could have happened, there was too many times. Jesus I'm such an idiot. The sad part is I actually showed signs, I can't believe I was so damn blind. I feared I had to turn to someone that I really only considered as an acquaintance.
So I found a pair of leggings and put them on. They stretched so they would have to do, and then an orange dress top to go with it. It didn't stray too far from my style but it was the fact that I knew, that bothered me. I put some flip flops on, grabbed my keys and walked to my car.
