A/N: Thanks for the feedback so far! I'd really appreciate as much as you'll give me. The only exception is people who don't like Brenda, Sonny or Jason…I mean seriously, if you don't like any or all, why are you reading this? Especially if you don't like any of them paired up. The least you can do, if you are those people, is not send me a review telling me to stop writing, because that is not a good reason. And definitely don't write a review telling me how much you hate Brenda, because again, it's kind of pointless. Ok, enough of my ranting…onto the story!

Jax walked around the docks for the tenth time that day. He had been doing this daily, ever since he had seen her there. He had tried the Quartermaine's, looking for some answers, but no one was forthcoming. Even Ned had refused him any knowledge of when and why Brenda had returned. He recalled that conversation as he continued his pacing.

"No Jax, I won't tell you where she is."

"And why not? I think I have the right to know." Jax replied.

"You know that you're my friend Jax, but Brenda will always come first. You hurt her more than I thought you were capable of. If Brenda wants to see you, she knows you're here and she will come to you. If not, you need to leave her to her life."

He knew that what Ned had said was true. But he wasn't willing to give up on Brenda. He never really was. And maybe her being back here meant she was willing to forget about the past and try again. He had realized quickly after her departure that she had not made any plans to leave him, that she probably never would have left him if had just taken the chance. But now his hope at such a reunion was quickly fading. Well, if she wasn't going to come willingly to him, he would have to go seek her out.

Jason opened the door finding the last person he would have expected to see there.

"Is she here?" Jax asked nervously.

"Who?" Jason asked, deciding to play dumb. It always had a way of ticking Jax off.

"You know Goddamn well who! Now it's a simple question Morgan, IS SHE HERE!?!?"

"When did you become like this?" They both heard the voice from behind Jason. "I mean, were you always this much of an ass? Obviously when I didn't say hi to you the other day that was a sign I wasn't interested in seeing you"

He just stared at her while she talked. Brenda never seemed to realize the power she had over men with just the look in her eye. "Sorry. But maybe we could just talk."

"I really don't see the point"

"Please, Brenda, I just need to apologize for everything I've done"

Brenda sighed and nodded at Jason who was standing aside, waiting to see what he could do. At her signal, he went upstairs.

Jax relaxed a little, maybe she wasn't that mad at him anymore. "So I saw you with a little girl. Looked exactly like you"

"My daughter", her answer coming out short.

Jax nodded. "Look Brenda, I'm really sorry for the way I treated you. I never should have doubted you. It was just so difficult…"

"What? To trust me? You know, you really don't know how to apologize if that's what you're going to say." Brenda took a deep breath and calmed herself. "Look, I left. I was actually happy for awhile, but you know how long that sort of thing lasts for me. Things fell apart and I came back to be with friends and family. That no longer includes you." Brenda started to laugh and caught herself. "You know, for the longest time I thought what Sonny did to me was the worst thing a person could do. But you proved me wrong. I trusted you completely. I never believed you would do the same thing after you were the person to help me through it. But obviously, I was wrong! Not only did you leave me at the altar, but then you come to me and try to buy me off like some prostitute. And it was all for your benefit. Not once in that time did you think of what was best for me. Well, I have news for you Jax. I am not giving you a chance to hurt me again. I don't ever want to see you again. Good-bye." And with that Brenda turned and went upstairs, leaving the flabbergasted Jax to see himself out.
