Clair needed to unload. So the next day afte making many plans in the past and all the others fell through she finally was able to drive over to her best friend's house. Getting out of her truck she had to smile as Jennifer Teller-Pope greeted her. Clair hugged her best friend's mom.

"I'm so glad that you finally made your way over here. I've been waiting to meet my daughter's college roommate and the woman who tamed my oldest nephew. I never thought that anyone could tame him." said Jennifer.

"I am sorry I haven't been able to get over here. Shit kept on piling up. Though I saw you at Taste of Charming. What was up with you and Gemma?" asked Clair.

"Stop changing the subjects. I know you. What is going on hunny bun!" said Veronica.

"So much shit happened yesterday, that I'm still reeling from it. I found out that my biological father is Otto Delaney, and well the wife and Ol' Lady of the Marcus Alvarez the President and Founder of the Mayans MC is his wife and my Uncle. I've known for years that Diana was my dad's sister, but I never knew exactly who my dad was. Clay spilled the beans." said Clair.

"Clay is the biggest piece of shit I've ever met in my life." said Jennifer grabbing a tumbler and filling it with Vodka. "I have no solid proof, but I believe and suspect that Gemma, and Clay killed my brother because he wanted to go one way with the club, but Clay and Gemma are money and power hungry assholes!" Jennifer let out.

"Mom tell Clair about the letters Moureen sent to you." said Veronica.

"I don't want my nephew to lose his wife because of what a selfish asshole Clay is. It's best that she doesn't see them. Though if you ever feel unsafe come here. Damon and I will protect you from anything and everything." said Jennifer.

"Lets stop all this depressing talk and hit the mall. I know you loved John and still do cause he is your only brother and only family besides dad and myself along with Uncle John's family, but you need to just chill a bit and have fun. Lets hit the mall. Laroy gave me his Escalade and his credit card to use." said Veronica. She knew everything about Clair, and seeing that she was safe and sound with Happy and Jax she relaxed.

"You guys go. I am in the mood to drink my sorrows away. I'm sorry, but I want Clay Marrow dead. He killed my brother. I just know it." said Jennifer.

"Mom come with us." said Veronica. "You don't have to drive." she added.

"Yea Aunt Jennifer come with us." said Clair. Oh if Happy would have heard his wife call his dad's sister that he would have been just over the moon with happiness. Oh Jax would have been elated also that she was embracing his family.

"Okay, but one of you are driving. I'm gonna drink. Though let me send Damon a text and leave a note on his desk. Clair I know with your history of abusive men you might think that my husband is that way, but he's not. It's just...," Jennifer was put at ease by Clair.

"It's all about respect. I get it. I let Happy know every move I make. It's not about control it's about trust and respect." said Clair.

"It's the same with Laroy and I. Some women don't get it. They either go one extreme or the other. The oh you are being controlled fuck that you are an adult or the I don't want to get you in trouble so maybe we shouldn't go to the mall or whatever. I'm tired of seeing you beat up." said Veronica.

"Yea I know it's one extreme or the other. It makes it hard to keep and make friends, but Veronica and I were roommates all four years of college and then in Malibu." said Clair.

"I just wish Ronnie and I knew about that abusive shithead AJ. I would have come and picked you up and brought you home. You were my daughter's protector in Nashville so I would have helped you also. I would have dared him to say something cause I took self defense classes and I know how to shoot!" said Jennifer as Veronica backed out of the driveway. She was looking forward to having a fun time shopping with her mom and best friend, and cousin by marriage.

Veronica decided to get off the depressing shit with her mom and best friend so she put her phone into the usb port and began playing Melissa Gorga's Never Let Me Go. It was like Jennifer and Clair began dancing in their seats. It was one of those songs that just made you wanna move, and dance. Whether it's be in the club, in the car, or at home you found yourself dancing.


Clay was pouting, but he was ready to throw down with Jax. Though Jax, Opie, Otto, Juice and Happy went to Curusio because once again he was giving Otto's wife grief. She knew how to run a porn studio, but Georgie was all about the money who didn't bother to take care of or give a shit about his actors and actresses.

The latest thing the fucker Georgie did was kill the guard dog that Otto and Jax paid for, and then wrote in it's blood 'DEAD BITCH" also he took Luanne's camera. Before they could even get to the spot Heny Lin set a meet, and well he was giving back Chucky since he was no longer useful for him.

Tig felt sorry for him and brought him back in. Otto kind of liked the guy also. He was loyal so to speak given the right party of people. Besides Lenny had high regard of him that that meant something to the MC President.

"So what do you think about the Juice Lyla thing?" Luanne asked her husband.

"It's what they both need. Juice needs someone he can unload everything with and have the full disclosure and he will accept Lyla's never leaving working for me unless she gets promoted to my level. Besides he's so sweet to her son Piper." said Luanne. "It'ts like me and you." she added.

"Clair is in Oakland with John Teller's sister, and her daughter shopping. Jennifer Teller's daughter was Clair's roommate all throughout college in Nashville, and for a bit in Malibu before what happened with Weston. That friendship with JT's only niece will never end. Though I trust JT's sister as much as I trust my own sister and brother in law." said Otto.

"Thanks for protecting me baby and letting me know your family. I Love you. I'm scared of Curusio, and what that asshole might do to me and my talent." said Luanne.

"I got an idea for that fucker. Though I want you to stay with me. If he wants to do something stupid well I have a Croweater that will be posing as you. I can't lose you and she owes the club." said Otto.


Since neither the Lin Triad, Mayans, or Niners didn't want anything to do with LOAN they were all on their own. It was a miracle that they got guns from Cameron and Edmond Hayes.

Though AJ Weston had no idea, and if he did he would be pissed. Zobelle was trying to get the Heroin prison trade in Stockton prison because of the money, but he couldn't. Ethan had no idea why it was so hard to get ahead in the town of Charming.

Deep down Weston and Zobelle knew they had to do something to get recognized. They had to since they were not taken seriously.


Clair had so much fun with Veronica and Jennifer shopping at the mall. She had never felt this free before. Unless she was at her dad's sister's Diana's place, She loved their pool, and well Marcus was a great protector. He didn't put up with shit.

Though she was wondering if maybe she should just run away. She got a text about a Potlatch dinner that night. She decided not to drink just in case it all went to shit. She would go to Oakland. Either Veronica and Jennifer's or Diana and Marcus's.

A/N: Hope you enjoy. I'm changing some things. Ready for Gemma's Dinner next chapter?
