I awoke to hear loud snoring that I know of Donna never snored like that, but now I know who it is I noticed it is Opie as he has a hand over Donna and me. I quietly and slowly remove Opie's hand as I get up to take a shower. I had to think about what I was going to do today. I went to the living room as I realized I had a full night sleep something I had not had these days. Yeah we fell asleep at two but still it is nine in the morning so I slept well. I grabbed my bag ans headed to the bathroom as Donna and Opie were still sleeping.
"Morning I made breakfast" I said as I was still playing with my phone as Opie walked into the kitchen.
"Move in" said Opie as he kissed my head.
"I heard that" called out Donna.
"I'm just playing baby" called out Opie as he looked at me and shook his head.
"I saw that" said Donna walking into the kitchen.
"So do you mind if Jess moved in.
"No, but I think Hap would have a problem" said Donna
"Shit true I have to go."
"I need a ride"
"Alright" said Opie as he put his plate in the sink and grabbed his keys.
"Where are you going?" asked Donna.
"Clay" I said as I kissed her goodbye and went outside.
"Hey maybe I could borrow your truck" I pointed at Opie's truck.
"Oh hell no, I don't trust you with my baby anymore" he said as I got on behind him.
"You never proved it was us" I said as he just laughed.
When I arrived at the shop it was kind of weird like nothing ever changed here. I went to look for mom first because I did not want problems with her. I still wanted to talk with Clay but something was bugging me and I could not figure out what.
"Morning mom" I said as I walked into the office.
"Morning baby where did you stay?" she asked as she put the paper work down.
"At Donna's" I said as I sat down.
"You still have a room at the house" said mom her way of asking when I was going to stay there.
"I'll stay tonight" I said
"Where's Clay" I asked as I noticed his bike wasn't here.
"On his way back, Why" asked mom.
"I have to talk with him" I said as I watched Clay arrive.
"About" asked mom getting up and standing next to me.
"Something" I walked out of the office and walked to Clay.
"Clay" I called out.
"Hey baby girl" he said as he pulled me to a hug.
"Can we talk?" I said going against everything I was feeling.
"Anytime want to go inside" he said.
"Not here" I said as he got the point and handed me a helmet.
The minute I got on the bike I knew I wasn't going to be able to tell him, because by telling him it wasn't something that could be forgotten and it would just be there every time he would see me. I just wished I had the strength to tell him.
"So Tig let me know Hap did not know you were leaving early" he said as we stopped at a secluded spot.
"Yeah I fucked up. I just thought at the time I need someone else" I said.
"You are Hap's old lady first, my daughter second" said Clay.
"I know but.."
"No buts you know better" he said.
"Alright and I will deal with it."
"So what do we need to talk about"
"It's about Lesley"
"Lesley wont be found it's better like that" said Clay as he looked straight at me.
"Mom told you" I said not really asking already knowing.
"The past is better off dead" Clay grabbed my hand. Jess just tell him why you killed Lesley just tell him.
"Literally" I said I couldn't tell him.
"You made a decision that was right, you saved yourself and your mother." he said.
"What about Otto?" I asked it was horrible that one persons actions could affect so many.
"We just need to keep this to ourselves it's the only way." he said.
"But.."
"It's a tough thing to do." said Clay as he shrugged his shoulders.
" it's whats right" I said as he just nodded his head. I wonder what would Otto do if he was in Clay's position.
"How are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm fine"
"I'm not Hap I can't figure you out"
"I'm not fine but I am getting there" I said. Maybe I just needed to talk with someone, and that someone was Neeta who seemed to really help me.
"Everything is going to be fine trust me." said Clay as he put an arm around me.
"I hope so" I said
"You just don't worry about it." he said.
"I need to go meet up mom" I said as I looked at the time.
"So where do I drop you off" he asked as he go on his bike.
"I have to go to the dress shop" I said as I got on.
"Good luck" he said and drove off. I think I needed more than good luck. I was dreading the dress shopping I had to go thru with mom.
"Hey girls" I said as I walked in to find mom and Donna going over dresses. Lately I have seen these two getting closer.
"Finally here is your dress" said mom as she handed me a
"Baby blue" I said making a face.
"There will be no pink in the wedding" she said pointing a finger at me. I looked at Donna and just shaked my head.
"I love that there will be no pink" said mom
"You do know this isn't your wedding right." I whispered to mom who just hit me.
"I chose the color she chose the dress" said Donna looking at us and then turned back to the dresses.
"I could pull the color off" I said as I grabbed the dress and went to try it on. I did not like dresses I was only wearing them because bridezilla wanted. I would of appreciated that the bridezilla was Donna rather than mom.
"That color looks good on you" said mom as I stepped out.
"Of course it does it's me" I smiled at mom just looked at me and shaked her head.
"I love this dress" said Donna. I was getting tear eyed she looked beautiful. I was happy at least one of us had something good going in their lives.
"I love it" I said as I went to stand next to her.
"Oh I love your dress" said Donna as we both looked in the mirror.
"I want this one" said Donna as the attendant came and fixed it for her.
"I think it's perfect" I said
"If you love it get it" said mom.
"I am so getting it" said Donna as she went to take it off.
"So we found the dress" said mom.
"Yeah"
"Why was Clay called and not me." asked mom as she fixed the dress.
"It was seemed the better thing to do" I said walking back to the dressing room.
"What seemed right at the moment" she asked as she
"Clay said alright and that he will get someone to escort us, you on the other hand would have asked every question that would pop in your head and I would of still be in Tacoma." I said
"You don't think I had a right to know"
"Mom to start with I should of told Hap, but I just got mad and called Clay." I said as I came out of the room.
"You got mad and you called Clay don't you have a mother. No you are my daughter first then Clay." said mom
"Well you people make up your damn mind" I said.
"So not everything is alright with Happy?"
"What happens in my relationship stays between me and him" I said.
"Don't give me that bullshit" said mom as she turned to look at me.
"Somethings got complicated." I said.
"Alright we will talk later see you at Donna's" said mom as her phone began to ring and she just grabbed her things and left the store.
"Where's Gemma?" asked Donna
"She left seemed she had something else she had to do." I said.
"We should head out" said Donna
"You know what I want" I said as I came out of the dressing room.
"A pink dress" she said.
"Well yes, but I want Chinese food"
"Since when do you eat Chinese?" she asked.
"Hap got me addicted" I said thinking about how much I wanted fried rice.
"Let's go look for one" she said as we left the store.
"I miss Tacoma" I said as we brought the burgers inside. We had gone around no one was open nor had Chinese food.
"That's a first" said Donna
"Don't worry I always say I miss Charming in Tacoma"
As we sat down at the table I received a text from Sparkles.
"Hey" text Sparkles
"Hey miss you"
"I know like wise, Tacoma has been raining like crazy"
"Here I am in sunny California"
"Sometime I miss it, but I love the rain."
"I know how you feel"
"How is it over there"
"Good. mad there is no Chinese places."
"And how are you feeling"
"Better I seemed to stop crying"
"I maybe speculating but I think your pregnant, face it Jess you have been quite emotional." as I read that my heart seemed to want to stop.
"Shit" I said as I received the text from Sparkles
"I'm late" I said as I counted the days.
"Late for what" she asked
"Like late as in oh shit I might be pregnant late" I said
"Jess" she said
"Shit shit shit" I said as I began to walk around the living room like a crazy person.
"Maybe you counted wrong, stress shit Jess"
"I know but I missed three pills" I said maybe four how fucking stupid could I be.
"Even when you fought you still"
"Yeah" I said stupid idiot. It may just be the stress, it had to be the stress we did not need this not now.
"Let's go" said Donna grabbing my hand and dragging me outside.
"Where" I said as we just got in her car.
"Store we need to make sure before you go crazy on me" she said
"I can't raise a kid" I said "I don't even like kids."
"Calm down maybe you counted wrong" she said as we stopped at the pharmacy. I hope that was the deal I was loosing my damn mind.
"Do you want the whole town knowing?" I asked as I looked inside the pharmacy.
"Remember how we did it in high school" she said
"Beg a grandma to buy it." I said.
"Let's just go buy the damn thing" she said as she got out of the car.
"I am all for getting the grandma" I said as I was standing in line.
"Let's get like two" she said as she came back with another one.
"You too" I asked
"I was going to wait till after the wedding" said Donna as we reached the cashier. I panicked as I saw James was the damn cashier. He just looked down then at me as he scanned the tests.
"This is why I wanted to go with the grandma" I said
"Will this be all" he said as he looked at us both. I hated Charming everyone grew up together and knew each other their whole lives and sometimes you ended up bumping into your old boyfriend.
"Yeah" said Donna as she grabbed the bag.
We arrived back at the house thankfully Opie was not home yet. We headed straight to the room, my hands wouldn't stop trembling as I opened the packet. It had to be the stress.
"Okay let them both be negative" said Donna as she went to the restroom first.
"Done" said Donna as I grabbed the stick. Please be negative, please please.
"Okay you put it on the left" I said as I went to the restroom.
"alright" I said as I put the stick on the plastic this was really stupid my period could be late since you know the stress last thing I needed was a baby. Please be negative please.
"Jess, Donna" called out mom I ran out the room as Donna stayed with the tests.
"What are you girls doing" said Mom as she put her purse on the couch. I noticed Donna walked in to the living room.
"Nothing" I said quickly so Donna would get the point.
"We had just finished eating" said Donna as we walked to the kitchen.
"You girls need to stay in shape for the dresses" said mom as we sat down. Here we go I'm surprised she doesn't have us signed up in a gym.
"Were running tomorrow" lied Donna as she cleaned the table.
"That's good maybe me and Luann will join you." I wanted mom to go so that we could see the results which was much more important than all this wedding drama.
"That sounds good" I just glared at Donna.
"So we got the dresses down, with the guys all we need is to keep those cuts clean." said mom.
That wont be necessary. Opie won't be needing his." said Donna. This is not good.
"What do you mean Opie is wearing his cut it's who he is" said mom
"Opie is not wearing his cut" said Donna. I just looked at mom who was staring at Donna as if she had two heads.
"He needs his cut, he is and will always be the club" said mom.
"I just don't think Opie needs to wear his cut, I am marrying Opie not the club" said Donna looking at mom.
"Donna you need to learn.."
"Mom I think we should leave this decision to Donna and Opie" I said.
"It's already been decided" said Donna.
"I'll talk with Opie" said mom as she got up.
"I decided it's done" said Donna as Opie walked in. Thankfully ended this discussion that they both seemed to want to stop fighting.
"Everything alright" asked Opie as he looked at all of us. I wanted to tell him to run and not get involved and I was planning on going with him. Donna and mom were just looking at each other.
"Yeah me and mom were leaving, have to plan the Christmas dinner" I said grabbing my purse.
"I'll call you tomorrow" I told Donna as we left.
"Can you believe her" said mom as we got in her car.
"Mom it's her wedding" I said.
"Yes and the club is a big part of it" she said
"Mom why are you even helping?" I asked we knew
"Because of Opie" she said
"The wedding is about Donna, not the mother of the groom" I imagine things would be if I wasn't here and those two would probably kill each other.
"Yes but she needs to learn to love this club" said mom.
"Yeah and that is Opie's job not yours." I said as we walked into the house.
"So when are you going back?" asked mom as we sat at the table.
"After the wedding"
"So all this is about Donna?"
"No just needed to time to myself to deal with everything." I said
"What is there to deal with its done."
"Too much shit to deal with" I said
"With this life there is going to be tougher shit your going to have to live with. You need to do this the way I am telling you for you and Hap. You dig it deeper in you it becomes part of you and never bring it up" said mom as she grabbed my hand.
"I get it we just move on"
"We live our lives" said mom as she got up.
"We should call it a night" I said getting up.
"Alright baby" mom gave me a kiss and headed upstairs. I turned off all the lights and headed up to my room.
As I was in bed I grabbed the phone after the talk with Clay and now mom I had to talk with Hap. I grabbed my phone and after four attempts I finally dialed his number.
"Hey I need..."
"Not now Jess" he said and hanged up.
