Chapter 10:

Jax:

I pull up, furious. Walking angrily to the door I knocked loudly. Ellie Opie's daughter opened the door surprised to see me.

"Uncle Jax…Why are you here?"

"Where is your moth.. Where is Lyla?"

The door opened wider and out came Lyla herself. She gestured to Ellie without looking at me to go inside and Lyla closed the door behind her adoptive daughter.

"You told her?"

Lyla look up and gave me a slight sad smile, shaking her head. Crossing her arms she looked me in the eye.

"She isn't stupid Jax. She was bound to figure it out eventually."

"Yeah, well I would have appreciated it when she isn't an emotional train wreck. I know she still blames herself for losing the three boys" I snapped angrily, pulling a hand through my hair. Sighing I noticed that Lyla was still looking at me with cautious eyes.

"What Lyla?"

"She hasn't told you yet has she? I thought she must have told you by now…. I guess… She has a lot on her mind about everything. She's been through a lot. I know. I feel awful for us…. She's my best friend Jax." Lyla sighed and sat down on the front step and I did the same. We both sighed at the same time. I knew that we wouldn't see each other anymore.

"She's pregnant isn't she?" I asked her. For an answer, she squeezed my hand. I sighed again.

"I don't even know how to fix what Daniel did Lyla. What do I do?"

"You do what you have always do Jax. You do your best" Lyla replied. She moved over and put her arm around me.

"But what if it isn't enough." I kissed her forehead and began to stand up. Lyla stood up as well and smiled softly again at me as I walked down the driveway.

"Wait! Jax!" She called out chasing after me. I turned around to face her after sitting on my bike.

"I don't think you should come around anymore ok. It's not that… Just don't come around ok?"

I smiled at her and nodded.

"I already know, Lyla. Take care of yourself and the kids."

I pulled out of the driveway on my bike and sped back home to where I hope Hana had calmed down since I've been gone. Though in my luck I thought to myself she would have put all my stuff on the lawn and told me to leave… Don't think I would blame her either. I think I have just become stupider. It must come with age… 31 years old and still have no idea how to tell someone sorry.

I parked the bike in the driveway and walked inside to a quiet house. Walking to the bedroom, I opened the door and saw that Hana was fast asleep. I crossed to the bed and covered her with a sheet and moved a strand of hair that escaped from her hair tie. I kissed her fore head and took my jacket off and crawled in beside her. The club could wait.

I must have fallen asleep. I woke up to Hana shaking me.

"Tigs is here. He wants to talk to you about something, and before you ask, he didn't say what." Hana walked to the doorway and left without so much as another word. I groaned. Seems like Hana was still pissed.

I sat up and moved my hair away from my eyes and walked out to the lounge room and saw that Hana was sitting on the couch with Tigs so I took the one seater chair. I noticed that Hana had no intention of leaving.

"Hana has a plan Jax."

I looked at Hana surprised and she raised an eyebrow. As if to say, "what? I can come up with plans too you know."

"So?"

"So I do what he wants. I meet with him" Hana said in a voice without emotion.

"You what..?" I stood up.

"Told you he wouldn't go for it Han" Tigs muttered to Hana.

"Well I don't honestly really care if he goes for it. It's my decision. Not his" Hana replied, looking at her hands. Intentionally not looking at me.

"Hana… I have tried to talk to him… I've tried to.." I started to say before she cut me off.

"Tried… Oh really? You have accomplished nothing. You don't know him like I do. He is my brother Jax. Not yours." She stood up and faced me, finally staring into my eyes, but with anger and no trace of any sort of forgiveness or love.

"I won't be able to protect you…" I sat down and shook my head at Tigs and he shrugged his shoulders.

"What? She has to get him to even meet with her first…" was Tig's reply. I shook my head again. I looked at Hana, defiant. No matter what I did I know she would do whatever she wanted to.

"What's the glorious plan then?"

"Don't tell you the plan" Hana patted Tigs on the shoulder and left the house and I heard the car go.

"She isn't going now is she?" I looked to Tigs with panic. He shrugged his shoulders half-heartedly.

"She's the best one to get to talk to that ahole Jax. You and I both know it and so does the club. And so does she. She called me here, to talk to you. To get you to, well get a grip. You need to listen to her. Jax. Hana has a plan and she's going to go through with it. She was talking to me before about what she's done in the past to escape him… Has she told you?"

Tigs looked at me sadly and probably from my expression he got the idea that my knowledge from her past life was limited.

"I know he… He raped her, multiple times when she was young before she ran away at fourteen… What else could be possibly worse than that?" I asked him. Tigs sighed and it was his turn to shake his head.

"That's only the half of it Jax. Her brother Daniel is a bomb expert. She's a trained assassin. Have you ever wondered just how she knows the things she knows? Jax she is a trained killer."

I looked at him and said to him quietly, "So is Daniel."

Hana

I'm actually going through with this. It took all of two days to find a contact of Daniel's and arrange a meeting. I made sure it was at a public place. So the tiny café place near the club house would do.

I open the café door and tiny bells rang once I opened it and closed it shut. I must be early. I sit in the middle of the café and order just a water. The young girl comes back shortly with it and at the same time I heard the sound of bells and looked towards the door. Daniel noticed. He glanced me up and down and around the small café. Smiling, he walked over and sat at the free seat without saying anything.

"Hana."

*So this is what it has come too. Are you keen? Please review. I won't be able to post for a few days but as soon as I can I will post another chapter.*
