I took one last look over my shoulder to look at Jax. Tara was no where in sight and he had his head in his hands. My heart was still somewhere around my ankles after hearing their half sided arguement . What was I going to do if he left? I dont know how to be without him. Most of all I was terrified I was going to lose my partner in crime. I mean seriously my craziness just wouldn't be the same without him to compliment me. I look like the sane one of the two of us, so he wasn't here I would practically be Tig. I feigned in horror. He couldn't leave. I sighed as I focused my thoughts on my seemingly broken bff and I wanted to go to him and be there for him the way he has been there for me so many times. I have lost count on just how many times he's dealt with me when I was at my absolute worst and yet he still came around. I think I would have stopped being friends with my crazy ass a long time ago but neither him nor Ope had. My heart strings tugged hard as I watched him push his hair out of his face and stare at the garage with a blank stare. I knew in that moment that I couldn't go over there and it killed me. I don't know what was worse, the fact that I couldn't stand him looking so heartbroken or the fact that I knew he didn't need me.
"Is he okay?" Donna asked, drawing me out of my thoughts and endless staring, which I'm pretty sure that to an observing bystander looked very creepy. At this point I could careless if anyone talked shit. My very best friend was hurting and I couldn't fix it.
"I honestly don't know Donna, I honestly don't know."
As if sensing my presence, he looked up and his eyes locked with mine. I held his gaze for a moment and he did the most astonishing thing: he smiled. My heart seemed to spring back up from my feet and my stomach started to flip. He wiggled his fingers at me in a girly wave and lit up a cigarette and pushed off of the picnic table. My heart started to speed up as he started to walk in my direction. What is going on with me? I shook my head and broke the consistent eye contact we had managed to hold. I looked towards Donna and she smiled warmly. Is it really fair for me to hate her so much? Its not like she said Opie love me not her right? This was a problem between him and I so I needed to start treating it that way. I turned back to bid Jax farewell and he was gone. I craned my neck to look around the parking lot and it seemed that Jax grew wings and flew away. I felt a pinge of sadness but I shrugged it off and got into her car. I was determined to have a good time, even if it was with Donna.
We walked through a little shop on main street that held nothing but wedding clothes. Gag me with a spoon, but Donna was more than into it so I obliged. She was the one who invited me after all. She headed straight for the bridal dresses and I kinda dragged along behind her. Wedding shops were not my thing, it just remined me of everything I probably would never have with a person who will never want me. I shrugged it off the best I could and did what Opie's true best friend would do, I studied Donna. Her face glowed with excitement as we went through the bridal dresses. My heart twinged again. She was so happy I almost felt bad for wishing it all ended for her. I looked down pretending to admire a dress. In my own defense, or at least that's what I'm going to tell myself. Opie and I should be together. I've loved him for as long as I could remember. She interrupted my evil villian thoughts by speaking.
"You know I used to be so jealous of you." She said and I started choking on my own spit. I went into a coughing came around patting my back. I waved her off and gained composure. Why on earth would she be jealous of me. I'm jealous of her. She has everything I ever wanted wrapped around her little finger.
"Why in the hell would you be jealous of me?" I asked trying to keep the distain out of my voice.
"He loves you, ya know. I know he loves me too but not the way he loves you. For the longest I lived in your shadow. Everything I did all he seen was a representation of you." I was in utter shock but I played it off so good by rolling my eyes. I debated on exactly what to say, so I didn't show my heart's true desire.
"I highly doubt it. He always makes me feel like I'm not ever good enough. Not only that he constantly makes me feel like I'm not even on his level." My eyes stung and I realized just how true everything I was saying was. I guess I tried so hard not to reveal my feelings for Opie that my feelings about him poured out. She wrapped me in a tight hug and when she let me go she led me towards the bridesmaid dresses. I cringed but I didn't allow her to see it. She truly was an outstanding person. I wasn't sure if it was because I felt so bad about being in love with her other half or because I was genuinely starting to enjoy being around her but I fulfilled her wish and tried on multiple dresses. Some of which were just downright horrendous others were decent. It wasn't until I tried on the last dress that Donna stood up and her hands flew up to her mouth. I instantly felt self conscious. I looked down at the dress and started pulling up the chest a little and it was quite snug on my hips. Donna walked up to me and swatted my hand.
"Stop, its perfect." My cheeks turned an intense shade of red. The dress was an eggshell white and a royal purple. Most of it was white and the stomach area bunched up a little and was purple. From there the dress faded from different shades of white to the dark purple. It was a beautiful dress I will say that. I looked down at the dress again and then back up at Donna just in time to see her snap a picture.
"What are you doing?" She rolled her eyes like 'isn't it obvious?'
"Jax is going to love you in this dress. Your cleavage looks amazing." I felt as if the air had been knocked out of my lungs. I know it was supposed to be a compliment but why would she say something like that. What has she heard? Or did she assume more because of the parking lot showdown?
"Uhm why will Jax love me in this dress?" I finally asked after a few moments silence. My heart hammered in my chest and it was almost as if I couldn't breathe. She looked up from her phone and laughed like everything was fine and great and I wasn't coming unglued on the inside.
"Well obviously Opie told me about the two of you." I started to feel dizzy. Was it hot in here or was it just me? I had to sit down. I just took a seat right there on the stool I was standing on.
"Donna, Jax and I are just friends. I don't know why Opie would say such things. He was never much of a gossip before." She laughed and sat down next to me.
"Honey there's nothing to be ashamed of. Jax is a great guy. You of all people should know that." I stood up and stared directly down at her.
"I'm not saying he's not a great guy. I'm just saying there's nothing going on between us." She shifted uncomfortably. She didn't even look me in the face when she replied.
"I'm sorry I was just going off of what Opie told me." My mouth fell agape. For someone who never used to be a gossip he sure as hell was doing a lot of it now .
"And what exactly did my so called best friend say? I want to make sure I get it right when I punch him in the gut," because you know I can't reach his face cause he's a freaking giant. She started playing with her hands, I could tell she was nervous and part of me felt bad. The very small part of me that was still reasonable.
"I'm sorry I said anything. I don't want to cause any problems. We were having such a good time and I ruined it. I'm so sorry." I shook my head, as mad as I was before I was all but seeing red now.
"You didn't do a damn thing wrong so don't apologize. He should be the one who's sorry. Now what did he say?" She put her head in her hands and if I wasn't trying very hard I wouldn't have caught what she said.
"He said he caught you and Jax in bed together a few days ago. That's all he really said I promise. Again I'm so sorry I ruined our day together." If I thought I was seeing red before I saw crimson now. How dare he! I started to storm out of the store but I turned around and walked back towards Donna.
"We were cuddling! That is it so he can suck my dick! Jax and I lay together all the time and he's never made a stink before." I started to storm off but before I did I added, "I had a really nice time today and I would really like to do it again if you don't hate me for killing your husband." And with that I stormed out of the store, hell bent and determined to find Opie and give him a big freaking piece of my mind. How dare he run his mouth about something he knows nothing sbout! I was just going to punch him first talk to him later. Yeah thats exactly what i was going to do.I was almost to Gemma's when the sight of flashing red and blues behind me caught my attention. I stopped walking and turned around and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was still wearing the dress.
"Luanne, you need to come with me." I saw Chief Uncer and I swore outloud but I didn't protest as he opened up the back door of his cruiser and motioned for me to get in. The end of my perfect day: getting sent to jail for accidentally stealing a dress because my best friend had became a gossiping girl. Could this day get any worse?
