Seeing how many people read this story has blown my mind, I really appreciate you guys giving up your time to read a story by a girl with an overactive imagination and a bit of free time! Be sure to leave me a review so I know what you think, feedback helps motive me to write.
A couple of people of asked if we found out what actually happened to Nate, I can assure we do find out what Lenny has done but only as the story and her character progress, our little Lenny is all about "keeping it to her self" .
Got a pretty big update tonight with some history to Lenny and our favourite Son! Enjoy!
Nobody's fool
Lenny sat on the bed leaning against the headboard, her legs slung one over the other and the bottle of whiskey in one hand and a cigarette in her other. As she set about emptying the bottle she could still hear all the commotion from out in the clubhouse, the music and sounds from a bedroom down the hallway were merging into the distance as Lenny surrendered to the drunken state that was washing over her like a 10ft tidal wave.
She thought about how maybe coming to find Uncle Bobby may not have been such a good idea after all, Clay was obviously not only suspicious about the sudden unannounced family reunion but he was clearly unhappy about it too. Opie may as well have just told her "Clay wants to know why the fuck you're in Charming?" Downing more from the bottle Lenny couldn't understand why she couldn't just tell Bobby when he asked her, she had never lied to her Uncle Bobby before but suddenly the thought of telling him she taken a life in cold blood scared her more than anything. Sure Lenny Ray Sawyer was a tough girl, she was the kid who didn't have a problem breaking curfew as a teen, saw no issue with staying out late drinking, smoking and keeping the police in a job but when had she strayed into the murder territory? Her mother had talked about how she saw too much of Bobby in Lenny Ray growing up, her blatant disregard for any authority and her general bad attitude but her mom had always hoped it was just a phase. When her Dad, Ray, was killed in a bar fight her mom sent her packing to Charming after Lenny had gone on an extended weekend of drinking drugs and partying with Jen that left the pair waking up in a cell to show her exactly what kind of life was waiting for her if she didn't sort her shit out. But that Summer had shown Lenny the possibilities open to her, she saw there were people who had as much passion to protect what they loved no matter what the cost of consequence.
Although it didnt make sense Lenny knew she belonged in Charming, being herself here didn't feel so wrong , she just had to find a way to be honest about what had brought her back here. But first she had to find a way to accept what she had done. In her head she replayed how even with a gun pointed at his head Nate was still taunting her, on paper she knew Nate would have raped Jen and probably killed her for being witness to it so pulling the trigger was her only option but what was eating her up inside was just how easy it was, like she was some sniper or professional hitter. Screaming out in frustration she threw the empty bottle against the door opposite her before dragging in breath trying to calm herself down, resting her head in her hands she pushed the heels of her hands into her eyes to stop herself crying, as if Nate would have wasted any tears if he had been able to finish what he started.
Lenny didn't even realize when she lay down on the pillows exhausted that a deep sleep took over and she certainly didn't hear the door open or see Jax silently creep in and pull the comforter over her. He gingerly pulled a few strands of hair that had fallen in her face away, he felt an odd knot in his stomach as the cut on her forehead became visible. He sighed deeply as he sat on the bed, he glanced back at Lenny Ray, even as she slept she looked like she had a great weight pulling her down deep into some darkness her brow frowned suddenly as she stirred. Jackson Teller could remember that summer when Lenny Ray Sawyer had rocked up in Charming, a bag full of clothes and truck full of attitude to the boot. She was a breath of fresh air around Teller-Morrow automotives, a girl who didn't take any shit and gave them all as good as she got could only be good for a group of guys who were used to having what ever girls they wanted when they wanted them. The older Sons would take bets on when she was gonna give Bobby a heart attack, he had nearly come close the night Lenny had snuck out after Clay had put a lockdown on her Jax and Opie after the Police had arrested Bobby and Piney and were threatening to charge them with for attacking a member of the Nomads, local rival gang. Lenny had heard Bobby telling Clay and Tig that the only witness was a Nomads Prospect, who had to go to the station in the next 12 hours to make his statement or the police would be forced to release Bobby and Piney with no evidence to make an arrest. It was that information that inspired Lenny, as an unknown face in Charming, to show up at the Nomads club turn on the charm and flirt a little with their Prospect before luring him away under the false pretence of him getting laid and leave him handcuffed to the bed of a nearby motel. Jax could still still remember the almighty fight that broke out in the Chapel after Bobby found out. Tig had summed it up with the fact Lenny Sawyer was a just 'crazy bitch' in the way she just didn't seem to give a fuck. Jax had been intimidated by her since that crazy stunt, she was nothing to the MC but she put her life on the line to get Bobby out and what scared him was Clay didn't have any part in planting the idea, she had come up with all on her and executed it alone too. Jax stood to leave her to get some rest alone, it didn't sit right with him to lay down his king size bed next to her , he didn't know what had brought Lenny baby to Charming but he knew, just like Bobby and Clay, it couldn't have been good.
Lenny woke up with a start for the second time that day, the copious amount of alcohol swimming in her bloodstream made it take a while before she registered where she was. When she was a little more able she pulled herself of the bed and stumbled towards the door, she didn't notice the pictures of Jax and other club members that were stuck to the mirror nor had she noticed how much quieter it was. It seemed the party had ended as bodies were dotted around sleeping where ever they had fallen. Pulling Opie's shirt around her tight she stepped over a couple of blonde girls. Lenny didn't recognize anyone so decided to head for the door to get some air, as she gently pushed it open she couldn't believe it was sunrise outside. How long was she in that room? She sat at a wooden bench outside and pulled her knees up to her chest as she lit her first cigarette of the day, staring out into space she was pulled back to reality as Jax shut the Clubhouse door and stood against it as he smiled at Lenny and laughed as she glared at him.
"You not feeling so great?" He joined in smoking, his boyish grin distracting her somewhat.
"Not really, " Lenny laughed " SAMCRO knows how to party right,"
"Yeah," Jax sat next to Lenny and they sat in a comfortable silence, he could see more of her than he had last night. Her legs were pulled tight to her chest, Lenny Ray was a young girl on her last visit but she'd come back a woman, a hot woman. Jax recalled hearing Tig offering to give a "once over" when Clay had ordered Chibs to tend to her wounds earning him a smack upside the head from Bobby. "How's your head?"
"Honestly, I feel like I beaten in the head with a steel pipe," She turned to face Jax as he laughed, how the hell was this funny?
"I meant from the attack Lenny,"
She blushed slowly slightly, "oh, yeah suddenly that doesn't hurt so much, I think I have Whiskey to thank for that ," she smiled as she rubbed the wound on her forehead, "It'll heal soon enough, I mean Chibs assured me he was one of Her Royal Majestys best medics,"
Lenny found it incredibly refreshing to be this way with some one, back in Arizona her Mom would have phoned to give her daughter the daily dose of disappointment she reserved just for Lenny and to remind her of how half the girls she went to High School with had settled down rather than chase a dream of being a singer.
"Lenny, why were you in that bar last night and don't say performing. I saw your truck, you've packed all your shit up. What's happened ? Jax had a concerned tone in his voice , he had placed his hand over her hand that was resting on her knee.
Slowly Lenny's gaze held Jax's as she sighed, " Jax," she started " I ran into some trouble back home helping a friend, I just needed to get out before I got in too deep,"
"Anything we can help with?" Jax's brow was creased in worry as a million different scenarios played out in his mind.
" No, no it's been dealt with. I just needed some where to lay low for a while," Lenny hadn't lied, it had been most definitely dealt with.
Jax knew she wasn't telling him the whole truth but he wouldn't push her , not just yet, he was looking forward to having Lenny around for little while, he needed a some fun and laughter in his life right now what with Abel's condition and Wendy's shit storm situation he figured he'd need some one to talk too besides his Brothers and to get some female perspective that wasn't from his Mother, Gemma.
A low grumble from Lenny's stomach brought him back to the moment, "Come on," Jax laughed standing to pull Lenny to her feet but as she stood and he pulled Lenny ended up inches away from Jax's face looking up from under her lashes her palms planted firmly on his solid chest, possibly the only thing stopping her from kissing him, as he gazed down at her with that stupid boyish grin that had mesmerized all those years ago. He tucked a lock of hair behind her ear as she blushed and looked to the floor, breaking the spell between them .
"We should probably get some breakfast," Lenny suddenly realized just how hungry she was and Jax just laughed as he pulled her back into the clubhouse to get some food.
If they hadn't been so wrapped up in each other they may have seen the black sports car pull up to watch the show and they would have seen the reaction of the last person in Charming to learn of little Lenny-Ray Sawyers return.
