I sat there completely dumbfounded for a few minutes. My eyes darted from Jax to Opie to Clay and then they landed on Gemma. She had to have planned this but how? How did she even know they were coming? Hell how did she know I would pour my heart out to her like I did?I've been in love with Ope for years and I never told a soul but Jax. Could he have told her? Nah Jax wouldn't do that tome. Was I that obvious? No I couldn't have been because he sure as hell never realized it. So how did she know I would be so willing to talk? Was it written on my face? She's Gemma that's how she knew. What was I going to do? I had to talk to them now, really talk and put everything on the table. Could I openly look at Opie and bare all? Could I tell him that I've been in love with him and he's an idiot? What about Jax? Would I be able to look at him and tell him j was developing feelings for him? Would he feel guilty? What am I going to do? My heart was racing so hard I thought it was going to jump out of my chest. I can't believe she did this to me. I rolled my eyes. What was I saying? Yes I can, Gemma's all about what she wants and will do anything to get it. So if she had her heart set on Jax and I getting together she was going to do everything in her power for it to happen. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. I cant do this. I cant put it all out on the table. Jax's expression softened. He had to understand how hard this is for me. We locked eyes for a few minutes. I silently prayed he could read my mind but I knew that wasn't happening. Finally,Jax spoke up.

"Guys can you give us a minute?" They all nodded and started to walk away but Opie and Clay. Clay pulled Jax into a hug and seemed to whisper something in his ear. Whatever he said Jax nodded to and then Clay put his hand on his shoulder then walked away. Both Jax and I looked at Opie and he shook his head.

"I'm not fucking going anywhere until someone tells me what's going on. " i sighed. I guess I had no choice but to start talking. I didn't want to do this. My eyes welled up with tears and a massive lump formed in my throat. What I said and did next was going to go down as the most important moment in my life. No matter the end result it would still be the day I told Opie how I felt. This moment could possibly destroy me and the worst part is I had to stand here and take it.

"Ope I have something I need to tell you." I looked up at him. This was the right thing to do. I needed him to know so there would be no regrets. I sucked in a breath. Here it goes. I opened my mouth to speak and he cut me off.

"I really hope its about that fucking mark on your neck." My hands flew to the right side of my neck. Of all times for this talk to happen it has to happen when I have a huge bite mark from my other best friend. My eyes flew to Jax and he had a smirk on his face. He crossed his arms over his chest and just smiled as he awaited my answer.

"Well get to that in a bit but I really need to tell you that..." He cut me off again.

"I don't want to do that in a bit. I want to know now." He took a step in my direction. I started to feel really boxed in. My eyes went to Jax's, begging for help. Opie caught my look and the next thing I knew he turned around and swung at Jax. I jumped off of my chair. Jax swung back and they were trading blows.

"How could you cross that line Jax? Did you really need pussy that bad? You're no good for her!" He yelled as his fist connected with Jax's and Jax said nothing. The both pulled each other to the floor. Jax was on top of him punching the hell out of them and then Opie flipped him onto his back. My heart was breaking in two. I hope you're fucking happy Gem. I couldn't sit here and do nothing. I ran over and tried to get in between them but Opie gave me a little shove in the opposite direction and I landed on my butt. I got back up and went right back over there and tried to separate them again. Ope started to shove me again but I dodged it.

"Get off of him Opie! Fuck! He did nothing wrong." Opie grunted.

"He knew what the fuck he was doing. He should never have crossed that line." I started to pull at his right arm in at attempt to get him to stop. That did no good because Jax was still swinging.

"Can we stop this? Opie we need to talk." He ignored me and yanked his hand out of my arms. That's when I decided it was now or never.

"It was always you. Everything I did, I did to get you to notice me. I was in love with you but you had your head too far up your ass to notice." He stopped everything and turned to look at me. Jax took the opportunity to push him off and stand up. Opie got off of his knees and just stated at me in shock.

"Why...why didn't you ever say anything?" I threw my hands up.

"How was I supposed to? You never gave me any kind of indication you even liked me! You always put down what I wore or how I looked!" He sighed and pushed his hair out of his face. He stayed quiet for a few minutes and then he finally spoke.

" I couldn't stand for anyone to look at you like that. I'd kill them and I knew that. When I knew I wasn't ever going to have you I figured the best thing I could do was to make sure no one treated you any less than you deserved." My chest was aching and the tears ran down my face.

"Do you have any idea how much hell this man has went through because of you?" I said indicating Jax. "How many times I called him crying? Or how he would just come over because he was there when you said something down to me and he knew it hurt my feelings? Do you know how many times he had to pick up the mess you left behind?!" I screamed the last part. I looked over at Jax and he was bent over trying to catch his breath. When he noticed I was looking he stood up and waved me off.

" I don't need rewarded for that or even praise. You needed me Faith and that's what mattered to me. Yeah there was times it killed me watching you cry and knowing there was no way I could fix the pain you were feeling. You're my best friend. " Opie scoffed.

"Apparently you found a way to numb that pain right up huh Jax?" He turned to face me. "You told me a yesterday that you hadn't slept with him. Did you lie to me? Did you do this to get back at me?" Both eyes were on me. I shook my head. I hadn't done it to get back at him. I swore I had seen red when I seen him with that whore and my instincts had taken over.

"No I didn't. Jax and I didn't have sex. I'm not going to lie we probably would have if Gemma hadn't walked in. He didn't do anything wrong. I initiated it." Jax put on a mega watt smile because he knew I was lying about the last part. "And you Harry Winston need to apologize. "

"I'm sorry." I rolled my eyes.

"Not to me! To your best friend. You had no right swinging on him the way you did. Even if him and I had sex its not your place to condemn him. I'm a big girl and I make my own choices. You're getting married! You have no right getting mad over my decisions when you already made yours." He walked over to Jax and pulled him into a hug. They sat like that for a few minutes. I guess in man terms it was their way of apologizing. Men are so walked over. He actually looked like this was awkward for hhim. He rubbed his hands on the back of his neck.

"Uh guys, Clay uh said he needed you." Opie nodded and started to walk with Tig. Jax lingered behind a minute. I took a step towards him. He opened his arms and I walked into them. I placed my head on his shoulder and I fought the urge to cry.

"You should go so you don't get in trouble." I started to pull myself out of his arms and he pulled me right back in. He just held me and for some odd reason it made it all go away.

"You okay?" I nodded. I wasn't lying. I did feel okay which was honestly the last thing I was expecting to feel. I had just confessed my feelings for Opie and I felt okay about it. It was almost like a big load was taken off of my chest. Maybe I should thank Gemma. I scoffed. Yeah that was not going to happen anytime soon.

"I really am."He nodded and kissed the top of my head and started to walk away. I grabbed his arm and pulled him back to me. He willingly gave into the pull and turned to face me. I pulled his face down to mine and gave him the best kiss I could muster. I was going for " earth shattering " but I'm not quite sure I hit that level. He returned the kiss but he did cut it short. He looked miserable.

"We don't need to be doing this. Opes right. I'm no good for you." I shook my head and reached my hand out to touch his face but he pulled back. That heavy ache returned to my chest. Harry Winston had broke my heart again and this time it wasn't him I was broken hearted over.

A/n: so this was the chapter everyone's been waiting on. How do we feel about it? I'd like to hear feedback! I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday :)
