Jax looked down and noticed the empty spot next to him, looking around he noticed Carrie's bag was still on the desk. Sighing, he leaned back against the head board before the door to the bathroom opened.

"Morning," Carrie said as she placed the folded up clothed on the desk. "I thought you were still sleeping."

"You were going to sneak out of here?"

Carrie shrugged before grabbing her bag. "I have to go home to change and run some errands before coming back to help Donna at the office."

Jax nodded, before he got up and reached for a shirt. "About last night," he started to say before the door opened behind him. Causing him to turn around to see Tara standing there.

"I should go. Have a safe trip," Carrie said before pushing past Tara, feeling her staring at the back of her head.

"You spend the night?" Opie questioned as he sat at the bar drinking coffee.

"No, just stopped by to talk to Jax."

Opie raised an eyebrow, taking in the same clothes as yesterday before giving her a look. "You sure about that?"

"Nothing happened, I'll see you later Harry," Carrie said before walking away, smiling as she heard him grumble at the use of his name.

"What was she doing here?"

Jax sighed but didn't answer as he gathered clean clothes to take a shower.

"Seriously? You're not going to say anything? Did you sleep with her?"

Jax shook his head. "There's nothing to say but for your information no. You saw when you walked in that we were both dressed. Besides she's made it clear she isn't going to sleep with me."

"So that's supposed to make it better? I was worried because you didn't come home last night," Tara watched as Jax continued to get his stuff. "Then I come here and find her in here. You couldn't call me last night?"

"I thought I made it clear that i was done? It's over between us Tara," Jax explained before shaking his head. "I don't know how I could be any more clear for you to get it."

"You're just saying that because you're upset about Abel."

"No I'm not! I've done some thinking and I can't be with you anymore. I love you Tara but I'm not in love with anymore. Get that through you head!" Jax shook his head before going into the bathroom to shower. He was frustrated because no matter how many times he said he was done. Tara just wouldn't let him go.

"Do they know about your plans?"

Carrie looked over at Donna, before continuing to file the invoices. "No and I'm not telling them until it's time and you can't say anything either. Otherwise they'll try to get me to stay here."

"They're just trying to look out for you. They don't want you getting hurt."

"And I appreciate it but I want to help. Even if it's just being over there and staying put while the guys go looking. It'll help me not to worry as much and it'll calm Jax down from making stupid choices. Sometimes he just needs to hear reason, before he goes getting into even more trouble." Carrie said before shrugging.

"Speaking of Jax, he's going to be pissed you're going when he told your ass to stay put here in Charming," Donna pointed out.

Carrie shrugged. "He'll get over it."

"You don't have to leave yet," Jax said watching Tara pack her stuff from the bathroom. "We're heading out tonight. I just came by to pack a bag."

Tara stayed quiet as she continued to gather her stuff, which caused Jax to sigh. He knew she was angry and hurt by what happened this morning. But it was the only way he knew how to make her leave.

'I'm sorry about this morning."

"It's what you wanted," Tara stated pushing past him.

"I didn't want to hurt you."

"Yes you did. You think I'm responsible for what happened to Abel, you hate me but you can't say it," she argued as she continued packing clothes into the duffel bag on the bed.

"I don't blame you for Abel. But we're two different people. We want different things. I can't leave the club because it's a part of me. You can't fully accept the club and my life is going to impact your life and your career. Is that really something you can live with because I'm not going to leave Charming. I didn't do it back then and I'm not doing it now."

"You almost did. What's different now?"

"I realized that my place is here. My family is here, my club," Jax shook his head. "You always wanted to get out and I'm giving you that chance now. I'll always love and care about you but it's time to leave this relationship based on old feelings in the past."

"You're so full of shit. This is just about you needing a reason to feel good about bailing, so you can go and play house with Carrie and that baby." Tara stated walking past him. "You said you didn't want to hurt me but you did because I still love you. So guess what? The prince doesn't always get his way."

Jax stayed in the room for a couple of seconds, before going after her. Instead of stopping Tara, he watched her drive off. He thought he would have felt the overwhelming need to stop her but he didn't. Instead he felt relief, like he could finally move on but he still felt bad about how things had gone down.

"Baby, I'm going to be okay. We're going to go find Abel and be back in a week. Pop and Carrie are going to help you take care of the kids and Carrie will help you around the office."

At the sound of Carrie's name, Donna felt guilty because she knew what Carrie was planning but decided to keep quiet. Instead she kissed Opie. "I love you."

Opie kissed her again. "I love you too," he said before turning to see Carrie taking a small duffel bag out of the trunk of Donna's car. "What the hell is she doing?"

Donna turned to look before giving Opie an innocent look and shrug. Watching as he pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed in frustration. Before they made their way over to where Carrie was standing with the rest of the guys.

"You know Jax is going to throw a fit when he finds out you're coming along." Bobby stated.

Carrie looked at the guys looking at her. "He's going to have to suck it up. I'm not changing my mind."

Any other retort was cut off as they saw Tara's cutlass park next to the van.

"Cutting it close." Oswald informed as Jax stepped out of the driver's side.

"Sorry, we had to give somebody a ride." Jax said in frustration as Gemma stepped out of the car. Jax paused as he passed Elliott."Not my idea."

Jax stopped as he noticed Carrie. "What are you doing here?"

"Came to wish you guys luck and say goodbye." Carrie innocently answered, while giving the guys a look that had them going through their bags.

"Hey sweetheart." Gemma greeted, giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, interrupting anything Jax could have said next.

"Hey Gemma. On the run again?" Carrie teased with a smile.

"You know me, I love taking risks," Gemma said, sharing a laugh with Carrie.

As soon as Clay had hung up the phone, the club started gathering their stuff. Getting ready to say their goodbyes and get on the plane. Carrie watched as Clay hugged Piney and Gemma gave him a kiss before leading the group towards the plane.

"Take care of yourself and that baby." Piney stated as Carrie pulled back from the hug.

"Keep me updated on what's going on," Donna said, pulling her into a quick hug.

Nodding, she made to grab her duffel bag, but Opie intercepted her while motioning for her to follow him.

Jax furrowed his brow as he saw Carrie joining them. "Where the hell do you think you're going?"

"To Belfast." Carrie answered, as she continued walking.

"Don't even think about changing my mind." Carrie warned. "Because I won't. I'm not your old lady, so you can't order me to not get on the plane. I'm tagging along, get over it Jackson. Besides, you're going to need all the help you can get in keeping Gemma in line."

Jax looked at Opie, who shook his head and kept walking. Before he stopped and looked back towards Piney, who merely shrugged. Jax shook his head and sighed in frustration, first his mother was running from the feds and tagging along. Now Carrie was too, the trip hadn't even started and they were already driving him crazy.

So Carrie is going to Belfast with them.

Next chapters are going to revolve mostly around them in Belfast.

I'm still unsure about the Salazar/Tara storyline so we'll see if that even makes it into the story lol.

Anyways let me know your theories/suggestions in the comments. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
