Please read and review. I know where this is going, but having a hard time getting there. Let me know what you think it will really help. Thanks!
Jax pulled up to the field where they would hang out to get away from everyone. Jax, Tara, and Opie were the only people who knew this place existed, or at least that's what it felt like. When they arrived they found Opie laying down on a picnic table under their favorite tree with a join between his lips.
Tara was surprised to find Opie there. "I thought you were going to class to drop off my paper and take notes for me" she yelled across the field as she got off the bike.
"Relax. I dropped off your paper and got Hale to take your notes, he nearly wet himself at the opportunity to help you out" Opie said blowing a cloud of smoke.
"Wonderful" Tara responded rolling her eyes.
Jax nudged Opie to sit up and took the join out of his hand to take a drag of it before moving to sit on the table next to his friend.
"Ok boys so what are we doing here?" Tara questioned receiving blank stares from both of her friends.
"Come on Jax what's the big surprise?" Tara asked getting more annoyed.
"I never said there was a big surprise only that we were late and I didn't want to tell you why" Jax said passing Opie the joint.
"You suck Teller" Tara said brushing past Jax to take the joint out of Opie's hand before he could do anything with it. She went and sat against the tree and moped.
Jax and Opie glanced at each other before getting up and following Tara to mock her.
"Oh come on Tara we said there wasn't a surprise here that doesn't mean you don't have many coming later." Jax said trying to coax her out of her current mood. Opie and Jax slid down the tree to sit next to her on both sides.
"Besides princess you can't think just cause it's your birthday we will stop giving you a hard time." Opie added judging her into Jax. Tara softly smiled.
"So does someone want to tell me why we are really here?" She asked changing the subject.
"To get high" Opie and Jax said at the same time.
Tara enjoyed smoking with Jax and Opie. Whenever they smoked they would laugh for hours, but Tara only did it occasionally. She figured it was her birthday and she didn't have anything else to do so why the hell not?
"Jax invited everyone from school to your party tonight, we knew the only way you would actually show up would be if you were really really high" Opie added knowing if he didn't warn Tara now she would flip a shit when people started showing up at the Teller house.
Tara took a drag of the joint pondering what her next words would be.
"Half those people don't even know who the hell I am, but say the words free beer and party and they come out in droves to tell me happy birthday" Tara said to no one in particular.
"Tell me something I don't know" Jax said rolling his eyes.
"I once walked in on John and Gemma having sex on your kitchen table" Tara said with a straight face staring into the distance.
Jax nearly got whiplash twisting his head to look at Tara.
"That is gross" he finally responded with disgust.
"Yes, but something you didn't know." Tara said busting out laughing cause Opie and Jax to smile at her knowing she was well on her way to being very high.
They kept passing around the joint until Tara was sufficiently high for them. She layed down on the grass watching the clouds move above her. Jax and Opie were going on about the best year for motorcycles. When they did finally look over at her she was examining her hands.
"Tara" Jax drew out her name slowly, nervous that he would startle her.
"Look at my hands" she said still staring at her hands she held up to eye level.
"They are pretty hands" Opie responded unsure where she was going with this.
"My hands are so magical. My hands can do amazing things. Look at them" Tara said straight faced.
"That sounds like a pick up line I would use" Opie whispered to Jax while nudging him in the ribs with his elbow.
"My hands are going to do good things, they are going to heal. I am going to heal people" She said completely oblivious to their conversation.
"What do you mean you are going to heal people?" Jax asked curious of what thoughts she had running through her head at that moment.
"Just what I said" Tara said sternly sitting up to look at her friends. "My hands are so small and people need my hands to help them. They are going to be healing hands."
"ok" Jax drew out, not pointing out that she didn't exactly answer his question. He stood up and reached out for her hands. "lets get going we should get to the house before Gemma kicks both our asses." he said grabbing onto her hands.
"Jackson! Be careful of my hands. They are very important" Tara said sternly as Jax guided her away before she realized it. When she realized she was being pulled back to the his bike she turned around sharply and froze.
"Bye Opie, see you tonight. Love you" she yelled waiting for a response.
"later Doc, love you too." Opie said knowing she wouldn't move from that spot until she got an I love you.
"Ok princess lets get moving" Jax said putting the helmet on her head.
"Doc" she said slowly. "I like the sound of that." Tara said climbing on behind Jax and holding on tightly. He couldn't help but smile at the current dreamy state she was in.
