Chapter 6- SAMCRO
Tommy started first, "okay Kat, we'll see you soon. Goodnight. Love you" he said.
Katie smiled, "love you and Abel too. Tell daddy I said I and I miss you guys" she said before hanging up.
Lying like that made her feel horrible. Parker crossed his arms across his chest with a smirk. "Well, well, well, aren't you the pretty little liar" he teased, laughing when she slapped his arm glaring at him.
"Shut up! What was I supposed to say, oh yeah Abel, I saw Noah the other day and he fucked me over literally and figuratively? Oh yeah, that would go over great. Able would have a coronary" she argued.
Parker laughed, "well, we aren't going to figure it out tonight" he pulled her into his arms.
Katie nodded and settled in on his side of the bed, in his arms. "Thank you Parker. I don't know what I would do without you" she was really grateful to Parker and Jules for always supporting her.
Tommy and Abel were having a similar conversation in Charming. After hanging up with their sister, Abel was more convinced than before. Tommy was shocked. He didn't know how brother figured this out.
"I told you. Shy, innocent little girl, yeah right. She's lying through her teeth. I am going to kill him" Abel was really going to kill Noah.
Tommy grabbed his brother, "Abel be serious. We can't do this. You can't do this, not here without proof. So Katie lied. We've all done it" Tommy reasoned.
"She lied Tommy. Since when has Katie ever lie to us?" he argued.
"We don't know that Abel. For now we watch Noah and see how he reacts to Katie coming home" Tommy reasoned.
"Fine, but he makes a move, I'll kill him" Abel started.
Katie knew she got lucky. That fact that her brothers bought her lie was a miracle.
She spent the rest of her months and weeks studying and hanging out with her friends. She wanted to get as much of them as she could before she had to go back home.
At the end of the semester she was sitting with Jules in the middle of the living room floor, eating some Chinese, studying anatomical physiology when Jule's phone rang.
She answered the face time to see Parker in the same state as them, sitting on the floor surrounded by books.
"Damn you two look like the dead" Parker stated through the phone.
"You are an asshole. We are studying anatomical physiology and vegging on Chinese. You know that Dr. Chen is going to kick our ass. All our exams were fill in and essays, so I bet this is going to be the same way" Jules replied.
"Yeah, well, why do you think I called you. I need a break from staring at naked bodies" he teased, wiggling his eyebrows.
"You are so gross" Katie laughed as she dug into her broccoli and chicken.
"So, what are you two talking about? What's new?" he asked.
"Well, we are talking about Katie's love life with Mr. Hunk in Leather" Jules teased nudging her roommate with her shoulder.
"I am so glad you find this amusing. This is going to horrible, weird, and awkward when I go back home" Katie complained.
"Well, I can tell you one thing, he definitely didn't forget you. No man could" Parker teased.
Katie blushed bright red as she ate some of her food. "Shut up Parker" she chided. He was the only one who knew everything that happened in full detail because he was the first one there to help her.
"Maybe it won't be so bad" Jules tried to reassure her best friend.
"I hope you are right Jules because things are going to be awkward if my brother's kill him for no reason" Katie teased.
"Don't worry, we'll always be there for you princess" Parker said.
"Yeah, what he said" Jules said wrapping her arm around her best friend.
Katie hugged her friend and wiped her tears, "I love you guys" she said.

In Charming….
Noah was trying his hardest to avoid everyone, especially the Teller boys. He needed to put his last couple months and be done.
He needed to avoid Katie when she got home. That was his plan. Avoid her at all costs. He also knew that Happy and Kozik were following behind Katie and the Uhaul the prospect was driving.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
3 months later….
Katie was packing up her side of the apartment with Jules, Danny, Johnny, Parker, and most of the guys from Rogue River and Tacoma helping her move boxes out to the U-haul.
"Thanks for helping me guys" she said to all of them.
"We are family Kat; you need to stop thanking us" Parker kissed her cheek on his way out with a box in his hands.
"I know, but I am going to miss you all" she wiped the tears from her face.
"We'll be down to visit, and you better come back to visit us" Johnny said.
"He would say that. Without you and Nina, he's going to starve" Danny teased nudging Johnny along causing everyone to laugh.
After a tiresome day packing and loading up, they made a plan for Happy and Kozik to meet her tomorrow morning to head back to Charming.
Johnny and Danny each took turns giving her hugs and saying goodbye. "I'll see you in a few months when we head down for the charity run" Johnny said with her in his arms.
Katie reached up and kissed his cheek, "thank you for everything Johnny. I wouldn't have gotten through half this time without you guys" she replied against his chest.
He smiled and kissed the top of her head, "I love you Skittles."
"We always have your back. We are only a phone call away if you ever need anything no questions asked" Danny stated.
Katie knew that. She knew that no matter what Tacoma and Rogue River would always be there for her, no matter what. It was good to have her own allies and connections.
The next day was really emotional for Katie. She did not want to leave her friends and her little safe haven of Tacoma. She really didn't want to be anywhere near Noah.
Standing outside her apartment building with Parker and Jules was devastating. The girls had tears in their eyes as Parker wrapped them in a big hug.
"Guys, we'll be in touch with each other and we can always visit each other. You are acting like we are never going to see each other" he teased them.
The girls pulled away and wiped their tears. "Shut up Parker, we are emotional" Jules hit his stomach.
"God, I don't want to go" Katie cried. She couldn't stop crying. She was going to miss them so much.
Jules laughed, wiping her own tears before wiping Katie's tears, cupping her cheeks, "we are so pathetic. We are going to skype and talk to each other every day" Jules pulled Katie into her arms in a huge hug.
Parker laughed, "nothing is going to change guys. We will always be there for each other" Parker wrapped his arms around both of them.
"I love you guys. Parker, I will see you in a few weeks in Charming" she kissed his cheek, giving them one more hug before getting in her car.
Parker and Jules stood by and watched Katie leave with the guys. The ride to Charming did not take long. They stopped along the way a couple times before continuing the journey to the clubhouse. They were going to the clubhouse first before going home.
The whole way she kept looking in the rearview mirror, smiling seeing Kozik behind her. Happy was in front of her while Brady, one of the prospects from Rogue River was driving the truck behind Kozik with the rest of her stuff.
She couldn't help but smile when they passed the 'Welcome to Charming' sign. As she looked around on their way to the clubhouse, she just shook her head. Everything looked the same.
Once they got close to the clubhouse, Katie got both happy and nervous at the same time. She was happy to be back home with her family, but she was nervous to see Noah.
She still didn't know how to react with Noah or what she was going to do with hi.
When she pulled into the lot, she couldn't keep the smile off her face at seeing all the guys milling around the garage.
She pulled in and parked next to her mom's car. She got out of the car and stretched. She couldn't help it. Being in the car that long was hard and tiresome.
"Hey Killah, you pick up one of Sonny's girls on your way in? Where's the princess?" Tig whistled when Katie stepped out of the car.
She had on some camo boots, short shorts, a tank top, her hair braided and some aviators on. From the back, she didn't look like the same high school girl that left for college all those years ago.
"Damn, look at the legs on her" they whistled at her.
Kozik laughed and shook his head as he came up to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah, okay…another girl. Where's my sister?" Abel asked as he came out of the garage wiping his hands on a rag.
Katie looked from Kozik to the guys under her sunglasses as she leant against the car.
"Come on Abel, surely you recognize your own sister" Kozik teased from his spot next to Katie.
The guys, including Noah, all did a double take as she lifted her sunglasses up, so they could fully see her face.
"Princess?" Abel asked. When the hell did his little sister grow up?
"The one and only" she laughed as she stepped forward and greeted each one of them with hugs. She literally went down the line of guys waiting to greet her.
"Damn girl, when did you grow up?" Bobby teased as he kissed her head.
The guys couldn't help but look her over. She definitely grew up when she was away.
"Uh, I was gone for four years" she replied as she greeted everyone, her brothers pulling her into their arms, keeping her between them.
"We missed you princess, it's about time you came back home" Abel pulled her into his arms.
It's true, she spent her summers out of school between Tacoma and Rogue River at the hospitals. She wanted to get in as many hours as possible to help her resume for when she applied to Med School.
"Well, let's not forget you are my brother and not my dad" she said looking up at her big brother.
It was then that Katie heard the familiar rumble of her dad's bike. She was convinced that her family had specific rumbles to their bike, distinguishing them.
"Where's my princess?" Jax couldn't help but smile as his wife's mini-me run into his arms.
Mia stood back and watched as her husband smiled, wrapping his daughter in his arms like she was a little kid.
"Hi daddy" she greeted.
Jax smiled and kissed the top of her head before passing her off to her mom. "Hey mom" she wrapped her mom in a hug.
Jax wrapped his arm around his girls, kissing the top of his daughter's head. "Hi Angel, we missed you around here. How was the ride?" he asked moving to greet Happy and Kozik.
"We made good time. Sunshine did good keeping up" Kozik teased.
"Oh please, you know you are going to miss me" she retorted.
Kozik pulled her from Jax and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "I know I won't miss the 8am classes" he teased.
"Or the other 5am wake up calls" Brady added.
"Oh shut up! You are all sissys! We wiped you into shape with our 5am wake up calls" she laughed as the nauseas look on their faces.
"What are you guys talking about?" Tommy asked.
"Me and Jules used to meet Parker after practice at 5am to go running. Since the guys were following, we usually ended up at the clubhouse for breakfast" Katie explained.
"That's at least 6 miles from your apartment" Abel stated.
Katie shrugged, "between classes, exams, and work, running was our escape" she replied, like it was no big deal.
"Come on, let's party, the princes is home" Jax announced.
Noah tried to lay low. He knew Katie was ignoring him for a reason. He had a couple drinks and then ducked out.
He collapsed face first on his bed in the back. He wanted to be away from temptation. He didn't want to deal with everything.
Katie was being pulled in different directions, but she tried to keep an eye on Noah. Mia noticed her daughter standing at the bar getting a drink trying to look around the room. She knew that her daughter was trying to find Noah.
She noticed the young Nomad make his way to the back to hide out. She made her way over to her daughter, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
"Hey mom" she greeted.
Mia smiled at her daughter, "hey honey, how are you doing?" she asked.
Katie nodded, "I'm doing good. What's up mom?" she replied
"I'm good babe. How are thing progressing with you and Noah?" Mia asked her daughter, smiling when Katie tensed.
"How did you know?" she asked.
"You look at him like I used to look like your dad when we first started dating" Mia stated.
Katie nodded with a smile and let her head fall atop her arms on top of the bar and sighed. "Mom, I really don't know what to do. I thought things would be better once I got back home but he hasn't even looked at me" she complained.
Mia smiled and wrapped her arm over her daughter's shoulders. "Honey, it's hard around the club. He probably thinks it's disrespectful in front of your dad and your brothers. Don't forget, your dad is his Mother Charter President" Mia tried to comfort her daughter.
"I know mom, but he wouldn't even look at me. I mean all the other guys came over and said hi. He won't even pay me any attention" she complained.
"Why don't you take the initiative? Make the first move" Mia suggested.
Katie looked at her mom surprised. "Really?" she asked.
Mia laughed but nodded, "just be subtle. Don't want to give your dad a heart attack and walk up to him and kiss him" she teased.
Katie smiled and motioned for the prospect. "What can I get you darlin'?" he asked.
"Two shots of Tequilla" she said.
He smiled and put two shots in front of her. She took one and gave the other one to her mom. Mia took the shot and turned to her daughter.
"To making a move" Katie clinked glasses with her mom before taking the shot.
After downing the drink, Katie got up and took a breath before leaning over and hugging her mom.
"Thanks mom" she whispered into the hug.
Mia kissed her daughters cheek, "go get em'" she encouraged her daughter.
