Tara swallowed hard. "Lorca, when was the last time that you saw Marissa?"

Lorca frowned. "When I killed the sick son of a bitch who raped her. Why? I talk on the phone to her every other day though."

Tara's eyes widened in shock and surprise. "You knew that she was raped?"

Lorca rubbed a hand down his face. "I caught my Prospect as he was pulling his pants back up. Needless to say, that he didn't get them fastened before he got a bullet between his eyes. I was supposed to see her next weekend to help her move to a new house. She decided to move back to Charming because she was tired of living in a tiny apartment. Now, Tara, are you going to tell me what the fuck is wrong with my sister or do I need to go see her doctor and get him to tell me? After all, I'm the one who has medical power of attorney of her."

Tara purse her lips. "She was hit by a car and then ran over by that same car. Her leg was crushed, and they had to rush her into surgery for that and internal bleeding. Her leg was pinned back together, and they also had to take her spleen out. She has swelling in her back, so Bruce isn't sure if she will be able to walk or not. If I had to take a guess she also has broken or fractured ribs, but Bruce was trying to go over the worrisome injuries with me. She's my sister too, Lorca, and I love her just like you do."

Lorca snorted. "Did you bother telling the SAMCRO boys just why you and Marissa had a falling out?"

Tara paled slightly. "I told them that I warned her off Jax because I thought I wanted him."

Lorca's eyes flashed. He felt and heard rather than saw several of his brothers walk up behind him. "So, you didn't tell them that you caused Marissa to miscarry Jax's child? You didn't tell them that the whole reason Marissa's so-called friend tried to fuck Jax was because you paid her to? Have you let them think that you are innocent? I hugged you because in a way I think of you as a sister, but I know the kind of woman that you are Tara. If you can make yourself look innocent, then you will because you know that nobody would take your side if they knew the whole story."

Tara shook her head. "I didn't mean for any of what happened in the past to happen, Lorca. I love Marissa and I want our relationship to be like it was in the past."

Lorca's eyes narrowed. "Unfortunately, that will NEVER happen, Tara, because regardless Marissa will NEVER trust you like she did in the past. You fucked her relationship up with the man that she has always been in love with. If it hadn't been for you she would still be with Jax and they would have had a child together. Instead Jax had a son with someone else because you couldn't stand that Marissa had everything that you ever wanted. You were pissed that Opie had chosen Donna over you the first time, so you made sure that Marissa would be as miserable as you. You bided your time and didn't care that it took you a long ass time to finally break them up."

Opie stiffened. "Tara, is what Lorca just said true? Did you cause Marissa to lose her and Jax's baby? Did you cause Jax to lose the girl that he has loved since High School? Tell me that you didn't interfere in their relationship just because I got with and later married Donna!"

Tara looked at Opie with tears. "I'm sorry, Op! I didn't mean to cause all this heartache. You have to believe me that I changed!"

Opie snorted and shook his head angrily. "You have only changed because you HAD me now! If I didn't get with you then I think that you would still be trying to break Jax and Marissa up if they were together. They have wasted years being apart when they could have and SHOULD HAVE been together! What did you do that caused Marissa to miscarry?"

Tara swallowed hard at the look in Opie's eyes. She could feel everyone else's eyes on her but ignored them. "I spiked her drink with something that I knew she shouldn't be around let alone take. I just didn't want her to have Jax's baby. If anyone was pregnant it should have been me with your baby. It wasn't fair that she was getting everything she ever wanted when I didn't get what I wanted."

Opie's nostrils flared with the anger the he couldn't control. He felt Tig grab a hold of him and saw Happy and Clay grab a hold of Jax and Lorca. He didn't say anything when he saw Tara get slapped across the face by Koz whom nobody thought to hold back. "You thought it was right to break Jax and Marissa up just because you didn't have me? In what FUCKING world did you ever think that was right? How in the hell did you think you would get away with that? Why in the hell would you think that I'd be alright with that?"

He shook his head in disgust. "I don't know you at all, Tara."

Tara stepped forward and reached out to touch Opie only to stop abruptly when he stepped backwards. "You do know me, Opie. I love you and you love me. We're getting married and will eventually give your son and daughter a sibling. I messed up, Opie, but I promise you that I'm not that person any longer. We're meant to be together. I didn't mean to cause Marissa and Jax problems, but you have to agree that I wouldn't have been able to if there hadn't already been problems. Marissa never should have gotten with Jax before I got with you. I'm the oldest so I should be the first one of us in a serious relationship."

Opie's eyes flashed. "Are you fucking kidding me? You can't really think that shit, Tara! It doesn't matter if you are the oldest or not. You NEVER should have got them between us. The WORLD does NOT revolve around you, Tara! You can't make other people's lives hell just because you don't get what you want. Jax will never know his first child, I will never know my first nephew or niece, Gemma and Clay will never know their first grandchild, and Lorca will never know his first nephew or niece! That is all because of you and your fucked-up sense of entitlement. Stay the fuck away from my children and stay the fuck away from me. I don't know if I'll be able to be with you. I need time to think about what you have done to my best friend and your own sister."

Tara's eyes filled with tears. "You don't mean that, Opie. I love you and you love me. I know that I was wrong, but it isn't like I can go back and change shit. Why should we not be together because of what happened in the past?"

Jax stepped forward after he managed to shake Happy's hold of him off. "I don't want you near your sister, Tara. Having you near Marissa could very well set her recovery back and I won't let that happen. Marissa is mine even if she doesn't realize it yet and I will protect her even if it is from her own sister. I never thought you would do something like this, but I guess I should have after what I learned earlier. When in the fuck are you going to grow up? Life is about more than just you and your selfish wants. Did you bother telling Opie that Marissa took the beatings meant for you when you two were younger? Did you bother telling him that half of the beatings Marissa received was because of you? Did you really think Marissa kept that shit from me?"

Lorca growled. "I'll be telling Marissa's doctor that you are NOT to be let near her. I think that you need to leave."

Tara's eyes widened in shock. "You can't force me to leave! Opie, tell them that they can't make me leave."

Opie shook his head and glared at Tara. "Marissa is Lorca's sister and for all intents and purpose she is Jax's Old Lady. If neither of them want you here I'm not going to step into the middle of that. Besides I happen to agree with them. You need to leave, Tara, because right now looking at you makes me sick. You might as well go back to your own place because I don't want you at mine and I sure as fuck don't want you near my kids."

Tara's eyes flashed. "You can't leave me, Opie! I am your Old Lady and I'm not leaving the hospital unless you leave with me."

Opie snorted. "I never got Happy to give you the tat and now I'm glad that I haven't. If you don't leave I'm sure one of the boys wouldn't have a problem showing you the way out."

Happy stepped forward. "If she don't leave I'll do more than show her the fuckin' way out. She's done more than enough."

Clay nodded. "Tig, make sure this bitch leaves before all of us end up in jail."

Charity pulled away from the Sons surrounding her and punched Tara. "You had better leave because if I see you around Rissa I'll fucking destroy everything you have EVER worked for. Don't forget just what it is that I do and that I'm only second to Marissa about doing the shit I do."

Tara paled because she knew if Charity looked into her past that she would find shit that she didn't want found. "You can't do that, Charity! Besides you know Marissa would hate you if you did do that."

Lorca snorted. "You mean like the check that I ran on you myself two months ago after Marissa told me you wouldn't leave her be when she was on a job? I told her I was going to do it before I did it and she doesn't hate me for it. The only thing she requested is that I not tell her what I found if anything. While I may use Marissa a lot of times for a job, I do have another person that I go to too. You have messed up in more ways than one, but right now I want you the fuck away from me and my sister before I have security throw your fucking ass out."

He watched as Tara ran away from them before he looked at everyone else. "I won't talk about what I found out right now. No offense, but the only ones getting in to see Marissa are Jax, Charity, Opie, Koz, Happy, and me. Koz and Happy because I know that they'll guard her for me when I ain't here."

Everyone nodded and walked back to the waiting room. They were all wondering just what else Tara had done from the tone of voice Lorca had used when talking to them.


A/N 2: *snorts* So, here I thought I would be able to write Tara without bashing her... Apparently, my muse had other thoughts and plans though... This chapter didn't go at all the way I expected it to... Hope you all enjoyed it... Click the button and let me know what you think!
