It was approaching dusk in Charming by the time Cheyenne ended up realizing just how late it'd actually gotten.

She had gotten so caught up in her reunion with Gemma and all the guys at TM, she had completely forgotten to call David and let him know that she and Lucy had arrived in Charming safely.

As she was sitting at the bar inside the clubhouse with Chibs, Tig, and Lucy, Cheyenne could suddenly feel the hairs on the back of her neck stand straight up as well as a heavy feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Just then, both Gemma and Jax came walking into the clubhouse and straight over to the bar. Jax looked like he was very annoyed.

"Cheyenne baby. David's outside asking after you. He's not very happy either."

Cheyenne mentally face-palmed herself.

"Shit!! I completely forgot to call and let him know that me and Lucy made it into town safe. He's gonna kill me. I better go out there and talk to him, let him see that I'm actually ok."

"Do you want me to come with you, baby? Make sure he doesn't get out of line while he's chewing you out for not calling him?"

Cheyenne smiled a little at how protective the SAMCRO matriarch stiil clearly was toward her even after 8 years apart.

She honestly didn't expect anything less from the older woman though.

She knew that Gemma Teller-Morrow had always been fiercely protective of those that she deemed to be family to her and she had first fallen into that very category a decade ago when she was just 15 years old.

"Thanks, Gem but it's fine. With David, his bark is much more worse than his bite most of the time. He probably just needs to see that I'm here and in one whole piece, then he'll calm right down."

The brunette had absolutely no idea just how wrong she was though.

David had now been yelling at her for nearly 5 whole minutes and while she could understand why he was so upset, Cheyenne felt that he was taking it too far as he continued to yell at her.

Gemma and almost every single member of the Sons at the clubhouse was now standing outside watching the exchange between the deputy chief and Cheyenne.

Gemma was beginning to become very angry as she continued to watch the younger woman who was still like a daughter to her even after 8 years of being gone. She could tell that Cheyenne was about to lose it on Hale.

Less than a moment later, she was proven exactly right.

"David, stop screaming at me for a minute!! I get it, okay? You're mad at me for not calling you once Lucy and I made here safely but enough of the yelling already!!"

What happened next seemed to happen so fast, it was hard to really tell what actually even happened.

What was very clear though was that David was now bent over, groaning in pain and clutching his nose which was now gushing blood while Cheyenne was holding her right hand against her chest, hot tears streaming down her face as she let loose a string of curses.

Gemma and Clay who had shown up at the clubhouse with Bobby, Juice and Happy not long after Cheyenne and Lucy had arrived both rushed over.

The former carefully pulled the still crying brunette close to her as she continued to sob, making sure that she was careful of the younger woman's hand which looked like it might be possibly broken.

As Clay and Jax were talking to David, Gemma led a still crying Cheyenne back inside the clubhouse where they were met by Lucy who had a very concerned look on her face the second she saw the tears streaming down her friend's face.

"Chica, what's wrong? What happened out there with David? And what in the hell did you do to your hand?"

"She punched the shit out of Hale. She hit him so hard that I'm pretty sure that she broke his nose. Asshole probably deserved it though."

Chibs came inside just then and after assessing Cheyenne's hand for a moment, he determined that she was going to need to go to the hospital and get it x-rayed in order to know exactly how badly she'd hurt it when she'd punched her brother.

"I'll take her. I want to talk to her about something anyways."

Clay ordered Juice to go with Gemma and Cheyenne to St. Thomas. Lucy opted to stay behind at the clubhouse so that she could hang out with Half-Sack until her friend returned.

A/N: Any theories about what exactly David may have said to Cheyenne that would incite her to deck him like she did?
