The clubhouse was so quiet, you could hear a feather drop. Emma scans everyone's facial expressions and looks down at herself. She closes her eyes. 'Fuck me.' She opens her eyes back up and sees Jax in front of her. "What happened?"
Jax puts a hand on her shoulder and turns her around. "Let's talk outside."
As they walk out, Clay looks over at Gemma. "She's your niece. Fix it!" He points a finger in her face, before storming into the chapel.
Juice rubs his hands down his mohawk. "She's always manages, to make a huge entrance."
Chibs slowly turns to look at him. "Shut up." He walks to his dorm room and slams the door.
Outside, Emma sits on top of the picnic table, while smoking a cigarette. Jax stands by her, looking down at her as he contemplates all of the past events. They continue to sit in silence, but it becomes too much for Emma. She shifts her weight around and clears her throat. "Is anyone going to tell me, what happened? Exactly." She flicks her cigarette butt.
Jax takes a deep breath and exhaled. "Looks like Niners, killed, Donna. It's not yet confirmed."
"Are you guys going to retaliate?" She plays with the soles of her boots.
Jax shakes his head, as he runs a hand down his face. "I don't know, exactly what's going to happen."
Emma gets off the picnic table. "I need to go see, Opie."
Jax grabs her arm. "We need to talk about. This." He pulls on her shirt. "What's goin on between you and Alvarez? And don't say 'Nothing'."
She looks towards the lot. "You'll have to talk to Alvarez. That was our agreement. That he'll be the one to answer anyone's questions. He's a man of his word, so just ask him." She takes a few steps away from him and turns to look back at Jax. "Harry, needs his family. This whole Alvarez thing, that has you and everyone so upset, is the least of my concerns. I'm going to be by my godbrother's side." She turns back around and gets in her car, and peels out TM.
Emma walks in Opie's home. She sees his mother Mary, in the kitchen. "Hey, Mary. Where's Harry?"
She looks at Emma and smiles. "He's in his room."
Emma nods her head and walks over to Opie's room. She slowly walks in and sees him starring into space. "Harry." She walks up to him and places a hand on his shoulder.
He snaps out of his daze, and turns to her. Tears immediately escaping his eyes, he breaks down as he hugs her, and cries on her chest. She holds him tight and places a hand on his head. She places a kiss on top of his head. "I don't even have the right words to say. All I can think of, it's that she's in a much better place than you and I. You gotta be strong for your kids, they'll need you more then ever." She pulls away and cups his face. "I'm sorry you're goin through this. But you are not alone. Never. I love you godbrother."
He looks into her eyes. "Thanks, Em." He wipes his tears. "Look at you. So tough, never have I seen you shed a tear."
Emma chuckles and sits next to him. "Life sucks, but it has taught me many things. One of them is not to be weak. You're the one goin through a hard time. I have to be strong for the ones who are hurt at the moment."
"You're always so concerned, for everyone's well being. That's why you deserve better than this life. Look what it has done to my family. Donna knew that I'd cause this." He buries his face into his hands.
She runs a hand through his hair. "This life is all you know. I understand that, because I have the same problem. Plus this isn't your fault, how were you to know, some asshole would kill your wife."
"Say what you want. I brought this onto my family. I'll be the one to make it right." He turns to look at her and notices her shirt. "Shit. You went to check on Alvarez? Tell me, Em. How do you feel about him? The truth. It'll stay between the two of us."
Emma gets up and sighs. "I really care about him, but. Shits complicated."
"Is it because of who your family is?"
"No. That's not it at all. I mean if I could I would be living in Oakland, as Alvarez's old lady by now. No offense to you out the club. But. It's something. Someone else. That's all I can say. I'm not fixin to rat anyone out. So don't ask." She walks over to the window and looks out.
Opie gets up. "If Alvarez or any other asshole hurts you. I'll kill then myself."
She turns to look at him and smirks. "I know. That's why, I can't talk to anyone about anything." She walks out of his room.
'Shit.' Opie process the conversation in his head. He feels the urge to protect her, and keep her away from Alvarez for good. Could it be his way for making it up to Donna? He wasn't sure, but he felt the immense protective part of him kick into high gear.
Later that night Emma arrives to Jax's house. She runs into Tara who also arrives at Jax's. "Sup doc? Are you here to check up on Abel? Or my cousin?"
Tara feels at a lost for words, until she sets her eyes on Emma's shirt. "You do know you're not in Oakland?"
Emma laughs. "Shit. I guess I'm not. What's it to ya?"
Tara puts her hands up, as she shakes her head. "Just got caught off guard by the colors of your shirt. They're not SAMCRO colors."
Emma lights up a cigarette. "No, Shit. Doc. C'mon lets step inside. So you can hear Gemma chew me out." She chuckles.
They walk inside, and see Gemma and Wendy sitting at the couch with Abel. Gemma quickly gets up and grabs Emma by her arm. "You still haven't changed? Out of that shirt?!"
"No." Emma stares her down. "I've been a little preoccupied, with my family. In their time of sorrow. Because if you haven't noticed we suffered a tragic lost." She pulls away from Gemma's grip. "Now if you'll excuse me. I need to get some sleep, for tomorrow I have to be at a funeral with my family. Good night ladies." She looks at Wendy and Tara as she walks to the guest room.
The following morning as, Emma gets ready for Donna's funeral. She looks at herself in the mirror. 'I hate funerals.' She hears the door open and Piney pokes his head in. "Let's roll, darlin." She smiles at him and proceeds to follow him outside to his bike.
Once at the cemetery, Emma greets the other charters. She bumps into Chibs and tries to walk away. As she turns around, he reaches out to her and turns her to face him. "Lass, I'm sorry for everything that I've done. I would like for us to start all over. Please, I'm begging ye for another chance. This time it will be different. I promise, please Emma."
'Say no, say no.' She looks into his eyes, and there was something different about them. She caresses his face and smiles. "I would like that, very much. Come stand by me."
Chibs walks her over to the chairs. She takes a seat next to Gemma and Chibs stands behind her. As they listen to the priest, they see Jax walk up, as Tara walks over to him. She helps him put his kutte on and kiss. Jax then walks up to the coffin and places a rose on top of it. Emma watches Jax as he walks over to JT's tomb stone.
She gets up and excuses herself. As she walks around the cemetery she finds a particular one and kneels down in front of it. "Hi, dad. It's been eleven years since I've been here." She looks down at her hands. "Remember when I'd sing to you. I remember your favorite song. I think this is a perfect time to sing it to you. Bare with me because it's been so long since I've sang." She clears her throat, as she closes her eyes and begins to sing out loud. (Simple Man By: Lynard Skynard)
LYRICS
{Mama told me when I was young "Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day"
"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast Troubles will come and they will pass You'll find a woman and you'll find love And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"
"And be a simple kind of man Oh, be something you love and understand Baby be a simple kind of man Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"
"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold All that you need is in your soul And you can do this, oh baby, if you try All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied}
