After we got to the station, I tried to sweetly talk to Chief Unser about what happened. I explained to him that it was an accident, I simply forgot I was wearing the dress. I was mad at my friend and I seemed to forget what I was doing. I also stressed that I seriously wanted my clothes back because that was one of my favorite shirts.I also overstated the factor that it would never happen again because I didn't want to be around wedding dresses right now. None of it seemed to work, not because of my lack of trying mind you, but because the store owners were being douche nuggets and apparently thought it was fitting I at least spent the night in jail. So I got to spend my first night in jail, because of a dress I never wanted in the first place that I needed to go to a wedding I would rather crawl in a pit of dirt than be in because it will make my gossiping seemingly female giant best friend who I don't even like right now, happy. Yeah I'm seriously going to punch him in the gut when I seen him. Remember all of that crap i was saying earlier about us possibly having a chance, yeah I'm so mad right now I don't think if he was on fire I would piss on him to put it out. You know that would be really awkward, pissing on some one in general. Like how would that situation even come up? Oh my god you're on fire, let me pee on you real quick. I rolled my eyes at myself. Sometimes I really overthink things. I looked around the police station and my eyes watered a bit. I couldn't help but shake my head over the irony of it all. I mean come on, I've been best friends with two members of Samcro for most of my life andi hadn't even had a slight brush with the law. And now here I am, waiting for my paperwork to be processed so I can be booked and put in a cell. To make matters worse, it was over a freaking dress! I wasn't a badass. I wasn't getting put in jail for gunrunning or even assault, hell at the very least disorderly conduct. Nope it was forever going down on my record as being a bridal dress theif.. That seemed to dry my tears up and even caused me to laugh. Jax was never going to let me hear the end of it. My head jerked up as his name entered my thought train. Maybe he would never find out.I rolled my eyes, like that was going go happen. Charming is a small town, by now at least a fourth of the town knew what happened and soon the rest would too.

I heard my name and looked up. Unser was staring at me and made his way towards me. My chest tightened and I knew it was time. I stood up and my eyes went straight to the handcuffs that one of the deputies insisted that I had to wear. Hell while they were at it they should just give me a jumpsuit, I think it would be just as humiliating. Unser reached me and undid my cuffs.

"I'm sorry about all of this," I managed to nod. I know it was dumb trying not to cry but I couldn't help it. This was all so new to me. So i did what Gemma would do: I put on a hard face and held my head up. I was not going to give these bastards the satisfaction of seeing me cry. He nicely escorted me to one of the very few jail cells that were inside the small Charming Police department. My eyes welled up as I stared at the bed but I sucked it up and took a seat on the seriously uncomfortable cot thing that they classified as a bed. I kept telling myself 'Be Gemma' she's strong, beautiful and has a will of steel. I could do this. Unser placed his key in the door and locked it. To his credit, he looked like he felt really bad about doing it so that made me feel better. I stood up and walked towards the door.

"Chief Unser?" He turned back to face me.

"What can I do for you sweetheart?" I looked down at my feet and let out a big sigh. The tears were coming back and I fought them hard.

"Please don't call Jax. I don't want him to see me this way. I know one of them probably will call you once they've found out. But please have them send Clay or Tig. Hell anyone else other than Jax." He nodded and a sad smile filled his features.

"I'm going to call them now. I'm sorry you got roped up into this Luanne." The two tears trickled down my face.

"Ya know, you're one of the only people who call me by my first name." He stared at me for a minute before speaking. My stomach started to flip at the possibilities of all the things he could say.

"You're a good girl Luanne, don't let them change you." I didn't even get a chance to say anything else because he was gone.

I swear I don't know how people with long term sentences do it, because every second felt like a minute and every minute felt like an hour. Was time really supposed to go this slow? I decided to use my time wisely. I could think in here without being interrupted. I thought about my current situation with Opie. I loved him, I don't ever really think I could stop loving him. There's no one in the world quite like him and yet I took a look at my surroundings. I landed myself in jail because I was mad at him for insinuating that I was with another man. Maybe i overreacted a tiny bit but i was mad, well i don't know if I was more mad or hurt but I was plenty of both. Why doesn't he see me? I've been here the whole time and yet I truly don't exist. I honestly don't think he will ever realize how much I truly care for him. Maybe Jax was right and it was time to find someone else, but I didn't feel ready for that. I still love him even though I know I shouldn't. In a way I felt that love would go away on its own. He was such a big part of me, even if the love was unreturned, it needed time to heal. That brought me to my next situation, my seemingly blooming friendship with Donna. God I want to hate her just as much as I want to be her. She has the life that I have always wanted, and the worst part about it is that she doesn't even know it. There's not any question that I love him more but no matter what I do he loves her more. Its kind of infuriating actually. I want to shake him and be like 'NOTICE ME DAMMIT I LOVE YOU!' But I highly doubt that will even work. He can be pretty blind sometimes. I let out a big sigh. I would like to attempt to be friends because not going to lie having a female friend would be nice but would she be the proper friend? I couldn't exactly explain to her just how much my heart hurt and the reasoning. I shrugged. Maybe it was worth a chance only time will tell.

That brought me to my last situation: Jax. I wasn't really sure what was going on there. He's my absolute best friend, I would give my right boob for the guy if for some random as hell reason he needed it. He's confusing me with all of this lately. He tells me in so many words I deserve someone who loves me too and I'm awesome, which I already knew I was awesome. He's mainly right though, I deserve to be more than someone's back burner and then he goes and kisses me. That really threw me off into the deep end. Which I'm still puzzled about to be honest. I don't know what I'm going to do if I lose him and if anyone could take him from me it would be Tara. She has this strange kind of power over him. I'm going to talk to him and tell him how I feel on this subject. Maybe if he knows how bad its hurting me he wouldn't go. If I knew anything I knew the he would do anything to keep me from being hurt. But is that selfish? To make him feel guilty to stay be because i didn't want to be without was wrong. But it was nice having some one who was there for you no matter what and I didn't want to lose that but at the same time I wanted him happy. I know I make a lot of sense. I sighed as I wondered what was becoming of our friendship. I couldn't tell if he was trying to jump the barrier or not and I really didn't want to change things between us. On the other hand, I really enjoyed our morning together the other day. I have a feeling that's how it would be if we were together.I shook my head. I wonder what he was doing now. Did he leave? No I shook my head again, he would never leave without telling me bye. I felt kind of bad about telling Unser not to allow Jax to pick me up but he couldn't see me like this. Granted, he's seen me looking like a total wreck and still managed to be my friend but this was different. I don't ever want him to picture me behind bars. I shook my head. Was that wrong of me? When I got out of here the first thing I was going to do was find Jax. I was going to explain to him why I didn't want him to see me and everything will be fine between us. I smiled to myself, then I was going to talk to him about leaving and it will be right in the world again.

I leaned back against the wall and blew my hair out of my face when a movement in front of me caught my eye. I sat up to see what it was and I grimaced. Jax stood leaned up against the wall with the biggest smirk on his face and I instantly felt like punching Unser in the face. I told him not to let him come and yet here he is, standing in front of me pretty much laughing at me. My cheeks heated and I couldn't believe I was blushing right now.

"What are you doing here?" He pushed his weight off of the wall and came up to lean against the bars.

"Well Unser called Clay and I had to come pick you up." I rolled my eyes. So much for delivering the message of 'don't let Jax come'.

"Jax I," I paused and debated on what to say. I quickly decided,this was my best friend I never had to lie to him. "I asked Unser to tell the guys not to let you come." His smile reached his eyes and he let out a small chuckle.

"And you really thought I was going to listen to them? Clay told me not to come and I came anyway. You're my best friend Faith, I couldn't let you sit in here. I know this is hard on you so let's go I bailed you out." I shook my head as the tears started to fall. I looked away from him and stared at the wall.

"I didn't want you too see me like this Jax. I never wanted you to picture me in jail," I said my voice coming out barely a whisper.

"Why wouldn't you want me to see you? Oh I get it. You didn't want me to know you went bridezilla on Donna and stole her dress." The tears dried up instantly as I turned to face him and gave him the biggest glare I could muster up. How dare he laugh at me in my emotional state?

"Hahaha hilarious, I forgot you were so funny." He smirked and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Well I'm always available for reminders darlin." I stood up and walked towards the cell door. It was really hitting me hard that there was a chance he was going to leave. What was I going to do?

"That the dress you're wearing to Ope's wedding?" I looked down at the dress I was still wearing and despite the fact that the bottom was dirty, it was still really pretty. I shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm not sure I'm still invited. I did threaten bodily harm to the groom." Jax ran a hand over his slight stubble on his chin and laughed.

"You must have been a sight to see. Actually Donna feels horrible. She called Ope crying after you stormed out of the store." And just like that I felt guilty. I wasn't sure exactly why I feel bad for her but I did. So I was a laughing stock before they knew I was in jail I'm guessing. Sometimes my best friends are jerks.

"I guess I should apologize..."

"The dress looks beautiful on you Luanne." I felt like my skin was on fire. That was sort of random. I took a wild guess that the warmness was from blushing so I threw back a witty comeback.

"Better than a tux." He chuckled slightly.

"Much better."

We walked out of the jail together and made our way to his bike. He suddenly turned to me and grinned.

"I was going to bring the van, I knew you would be horrified about ruining the dress that you literally went to jail for." I punched him in the shoulder as hard as I could muster and snatched his helmet off of his bike. He climbed on and waited patiently as I bunched up the bottom of my dress and climbed on. My legs felt naked but I knew they were no more exposed than when I wore a pair of shorts. I adjusted the ball of dress so it was wedged in between me and Jax. I wrapped my arms around him as he sped off. I will never be able to quite describe the feeling of being on the back of a bike. Every single thought I have disappears and all I can concentrate on is just how at peace I am. I leaned my head into Jax's back and just enjoyed the moment because I knew it wouldn't be long before we were home. We don't do this often so it was nice, i must have spaced out because I was really surprised that we were pulling into the clubhouse. Wait a minute what are we doing at the clubhouse? Jax pulled into the nearest spot to the door and shut his bike off. He climbed off quickly and extended his hand to help me off.

"I thought you were taking me home." He grinned and shook his head.

"I never said I was taking you home." I rolled my eyes. He started to walk away but I reached out and grabbed his arm. He turned around quickly and stared down at me.I started to feel embarrassed but I shrugged it off quickly. It was just Jax, no reason to be embarrassed.

"I need to talk to you about something." He took a few steps back in my direction.

"You know you can talk to me about anything darlin."

"Are you going to go with her?" He sighed and I walked closer to him and wrapped my arms around his body. I leaned in to his chest to attempt to keep myself from crying. He was silent for a minute but just as he opened his mouth to speak the door to the clubhouse opened and the guys started pouring out. I barely heard his whisper of 'later' as he pulled away from me. I heard Tig before I saw him.

"Where's my favorite jail bird?" I rolled my eyes and stepped to Jax's side, only to be engulfed in a hug from Chibs.

"There ya are lass, we thought maybe Unser decided to keep ya." I laughed as they ushered me towards the clubhouse.

"Come on Chibs you already know he shipped me out of the door as soon as he could." We all entered the clubhouse laughing. I was the first to walk through and I damned near collided with none other than Opie.

"Can we talk?" Shit, I definitely needed a drink to handle whatever he had to say. Last time I almost had a heart attack.
