Chapter Three: Revealing Some Truth
Jenna slammed her door to her bedroom and plopped down on the bed. Her mother's words were running through her head. The truth is you're part of the family and you always will be. The quicker you accept who you are the easier and better it will be. Start acting like a Teller.
"Fine, you want me to act like the old me, fine with me." Jenna said a loud to herself.
Everyone had been on edge and acting out of character. They was so much tension because Clay and Gemma, Clay and Jax, Jax and Opie. Jenna made it her mission to find out what it was.
The prospect had dropped her car off and she decided she needed to go for a ride. She walked into the kitchen.
"Where are you going?"
"Out." She said walking out slamming the door.
"You are your mother's daughter." Gemma said with a smile.
She didn't know why she was sitting outside of Opie's house, but she was. She was about to drive away when someone knocked on her window.
"Shit!" She said jumping.
It was Mary, Opie's mother.
"Jesus, Mary…you scared me." Jenna said rolling the window down.
"You here to see Opie?" She asked opening the car door. "He's here."
"No." Jenna said trying to protest.
There was no use to fight her, Mary would get her way. She climbed out of the car and Mary wrapped her arms around her.
"I'm so glad you're back." Mary told her. "I've missed you."
"I can't believe you're back in town either." Jenna said.
"I'm here to help with the kids." She said with a shrug. "Ope hasn't been around enough."
Jenna nodded.
"Maybe he'll snap out of it, now that you're back."
"I'm not back for that, Mary." Jenna said.
Mary just nodded.
"Well I'm going to go back into the house to finish the kids dinner." She said. "You can go into the garage."
Jenna nodded walked up to the garage. Opie was looking around at this disassembled bike.
"You've always loved to put stuff together."
He looked up and noticed her.
"Jenna? What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to thank you for fixing my car." She told him. "Since I was in a bad mood earlier."
"No problem, that's what we do."
"Mmhm." She said looking at the bike. "Panhead 63?"
"65." He told her. "You still know your bikes?"
"Never forget." She said smiling. "So, where'd you get her?"
"I got pulled over by CHP and he told me about this place. I got a real good deal." He told her. "So I'm gonna fix her up."
"I'm really sorry about Donna." She told him. "When I found out it was too late."
"It's ok."
"Ope, if you ever need to talk I'm here."
"I know."
Mary came in and cleared her throat.
"Dinner's ready."
"Ok, mom."
"Jenna, are you staying? We have plenty."
"No, I should get going." She told Mary.
"No…stay." Opie spoke up.
She looked up at him.
"Ok."
"I'll be a few more minutes." He told his mother.
Jenna followed Mary into the kitchen and she called the kids. The kids came running into the livingroom and stopped once they seen her, they stopped.
"Kids, this is…"
"Aunt Gemma's daughter." The girl spoke up. "Jenna. We've seen your pictures at her house."
"The ones that dad is always looking at." The boy added.
Jenna smiled.
"Jenna, this is Kenny and Ellie."
"Nice to meet you." She said shaking their hands.
"Are you staying for dinner?" Kenny asked.
"If its ok with you guys."
The kids looked at each other and back at Jenna.
"Sure."
Jenna sat down at the table with Mary and the kids when Opie came in. The kids got quiet and Opie sat down and opened his beer. Jenna noticed that the kids and he didn't really talk to each other much. After the dinner, she headed to the garage. She climbed to the top of the roof of the club and just sat there. An hour later, Jax climbed up on the room.
"I knew I'd find you here." He said with a smile sitting down beside her. "This used to be your favorite spot."
"Gemma call you?"
"Yeah." He said. "What's going on?"
"Why don't you tell me what's going on, Jax." She said looking at her older brother. "With you, the club, with Opie?"
"It's club business."
"It's my business." She told him. "If I'm going to stick around, I need to know what I'm sticking around for."
Jax looking out into the empty parking lot.
"The club was getting into some heavy stuff when I left." She said. "What's going on with you, Clay and Opie."
"I can't tell you."
"I'm your sister, Jax." She said. "Whatever it is won't just affect the club, it'll affect everyone."
Jax got up and pulled out a binder out of a hiding spot. He sat back down beside her and handed it to her.
"What is this?"
"Dad wrote this before he died. It's his vision for the club and what went wrong and how to save it." He told me. "I'm getting us out of all the things that you left Charming for."
I opened it and seen a typewritten manuscript from our dad. I began to read it and he just sat there quietly. I read a few pages and closed the binder.
"Dad didn't want the club to be like this." Jax spoke up. "He wanted out of the illegal gun business."
Jenna just looked at him.
"I don't understand what that has to do with the tension between you and Ope."
"What I'm about to tell you, can never leave this roof." He said.
She nodded.
"The way Clay is leading this club is not the right move." Jax said. "Ope's backing him and that's why there's tension between us and that's why there's tension between me and Clay."
"That's all you're giving me?"
"For now." He smiled and kissed the side of her head.
He got up and turned to her.
"Don't let anyone see that." He said referring to what was in the binder. "No one."
She nodded and he left her to read. She stayed on the rooftop until she was finishing it all. She sat there and thought about the words her father had written. It was getting close to dawn and she decided to go home and get some shut-eye. She placed the binder back in the spot she seen her brother get it out from and headed back to her mother's.
