Thanks for all the reviews guys, seriously amazed at how many people are following this story.

loventherussian17-thanks, glad you're enjoying it.

Guest- as much as we love Lenny, I don't think she can play hide and seek forever. No one's that good ;)

Ericzmic- luckily Uncle Bobby is a bit busy at St Thomas at the moment. And I think a lot of people have the same feeling towards Tara. A bit of a hypocrite, likes the MC when it suits but quick to judge when the going gets tough, thankfully she and Lenny don't have too much in common besides their taste in men.

HGRHfan35- Oh my God! I actually really like the character of Tig and think he and Lenny have a really good relationship building. Jax and Lenny are in total denial but for what they think are the right reasons, Lenny doesn't want to get involved with anyone because of what she is running from and I really like playing with the vulnerability of Jax's character. Tough Vice President of the Sons of Anarchy by day, torn between the woman of his life by night, and that includes his mother!

And also a big thank you to all 24 of you following this story, now don't be shy. Let me know what you think!

Forever Young

Lenny began to stir as she heard movement outside in the clubhouse, bottles being kicked away and possibly even a female shriek before a body hit the floor, squinting her eyes away from the invasive sunlight breaking into the room. She turned closer into the solid form next to her, with her colossal hangover it took a while to register it was in fact a body. Pushing herself off the sculpted chest Lenny spotted the Abel tattoo across the chest and realized it was Jax, it was then she noticed their lack of clothes. Her eyes searched the room and saw her clothes in a pile on the floor, it was difficult to see Jax's as he had laundry all over his room. Lenny sat up and pulled the sheets up enough to cover herself whilst she tried to remember just exactly how she ended up in Jax Tellers bed. She had a hazy memory of the evening before at best but as she stretched she felt aches in places she hadn't for a while Lenny didn't really need to know much more.

The body next to her began to move and groan at the lack of body heat, Jax reached a hand out but Lenny was already out of the bed and pulling on her underwear and an oversized t shirt that belonged to Jax. She stood at the mirror taking in the pictures across mirror of Jax and his brother's of the club, unaware that Jax had woken and was leant up on his elbows watching her, she let her fingers hers glide across the pictures until she stopped at a picture with herself, Jax, Opie and Bobby. She couldn't believe he had keep the picture, in it they were all working on a car at the garage. Bobby was busy working teaching Opie and Jax about the engine and she was sat in the front pulling a ridiculous pouting face as Opie and Jax looked on laughing.

"Morning," Jax's voice broke the silence in the room and Lenny spun around to face him, an embarrassed flush creeping up from under the Sons of Anarchy t shirt she had throw on.

"Hey" leaning back against the dresser she tried to keep her calm as Jax stood from the bed revealing what she couldn't remember from the night before, Jax had a pretty impressive physique to go with his boyish good looks. Averting her gaze to the floor she threw a pair of boxers his way, "Jesus Jax, put some God damn clothes on,"

Jax laughed as he pulled them up over his muscular thighs, " seems a bit late for modesty don't you think?"

Lenny sighed, she was annoyed at her self for allowing this to happen. She began to busy her self collecting her clothing as Jax moved closer to her.

A knock on the door startled them both and Jax threw Lenny a look of equal confusion and bemusement as Lenny hid behind the door.

"Jackie boy, open up," Chibs banged on the door.

Jax opened the door with Lenny hiding behind as though they were teenagers, "what's up man?"

Chibs was resting against the door frame looking just as bad as Lenny felt, "you seen Lenny?" Jax shook his head ,lying "I tell you that girl is a fucking enigma, she musta just up and left in the middle of the night. She's gonna wind up in trouble if she's not careful, Clay's still wanting to know why she's back in Charming you know."

"Chibs, I told you I ain't seen Lenny, was there anything you needed cause I need to take a leak," Jax lied again, he was dreading shutting the door now.

"Sorry man, only that us guys are off to see Bobby. Gonna take the party to him, poor man needs a bit of female attention, you know," Chibs was rattling on as he turned away, " I'll tell him you'll be down next time. Try and get hold of Lenny, Jackie Boy. Check the lass is okay," he sauntered off down the hall as Jax shut the door hanging his head before pushing himself off. He didn't need to look at Lenny to know she was pissed.

"What did Chibs mean about Clay being pissed?" Her arm were folded across her chest.

Jax sighed as he sat on the edge of his bed, he ran his hands through his hair in frustration. He was hung over to hell and didn't want to deal with this shit right now, he was hoping to breach the subject of his own terms with Lenny when he felt the time was right.

"Well?" Lenny looked furious, her blue eyes focused on Jax waiting.

"You know Clay, Lenny. He likes to know what's going in Charming, the MC has a lot of business to protect. You gotta admit it was a bit weird us running into you at that bar with a car all packed up on your way to Charming. You didn't even call Bobby and let him know, we were all worried,"

Lenny scoffed, "suspicious more like," she began pacing in front of Jax.

"No," he said firmly, " we were concerned for you, babe. And rightly so after what you've done,"

The red on his cheek was appearing before Lenny was even aware she had slapped him, her chest rising and falling with anger, " You self righteous Son of a Bitch,"

Jax rubbed his jaw as he glared up at Lenny before standing to his full height towering over her but she didn't flinch, didn't even bat an eye lid. Lenny had a flashback to the night before when she had confessed to Jax and she felt the panic begin in her stomach but she managed to keep the bile down by taking her anger at the whole situation out on him.

"You don't know shit, Jax. So don't go making any kind of fucking assumptions," she was careful not to raise her voice too much.

"Then tell me what the fuck happened, Lenny. Try telling the truth instead of the bullshit you been talking since you got here? We can help you, protect you even but you gotta be straight with us," Jax meant every word, he knew the Sons were hardly angels but at least they tried to be honest to each other.

Lenny rubbed her neck trying to figure out what to do, she had after all come to Charming for help, right? She sure as hell hadn't come to cause trouble for her Uncle. "Jax," she began " promise me you'll let me tell Bobby when I'm ready?"

Jax nodded as she settled down next to him on the bed, pulling her knees up as she played with the hem of the shirt "I didn't mean for it go down the way it did Jax, it just happened so fast. I was looking for my friend and found her passed out in the parking lot with some jerk, Nate, he was gonna rape her. He threatened to do the same to me," the memory of the night came flooding back to Lenny like a freight train hitting her full force.

"You're not really in position to be making demands Nate," Lenny removed the safety from the gun to make a her point Crystal clear, " don't Fucking move or I swear to God you're dead."

Nate laughed, " you're actually threatening me on my territory? One shot leaves that gun and my guys will be out here after you and your whore friend. No one is gonna miss her Lenny, Jen is just here to ride on your coat tails and ride any dick that comes her way,"

"SHUT UP!" Lenny shouted but Nate advanced toward her his Intent clear from the deadly look his almost black eyes, as soon as his hands grasped her shoulder she squeezed the trigger and watched as the life left his eyes , his body fell at her feet as she stood over him. She dragged air in and out of her lungs, she had to think fast before some one came to see what the commotion was outside. She grabbed Nate under his arms and dragged him the short distance to his trunk and slung his body into the back like he was a rag doll she dug her hands into his pockets and took out his car keys before kicking the door shut. She ran back to where Nate had fallen and scrambled around looking for the empty shell that had fallen a few feet away and shoved it into the pocket of her shorts.

Lenny explained how she had staged the crash and burnt out the vehicle and told Jax about the web of lives she had spun about Texas before fleeing town to come ask for Bobby's help.

Jax looked on in shock, he knew Lenny had always been a tough kid but she had single-handedly committed murder and destroyed evidence before fleeing the scene, it sounded like his day-to-day business with the Club not they're of a small town bar performer.

"You sure no one saw you in the lot?" He asked the practical questions first.

"Only Jen, but she was too high to know what happened. She doesn't even know where I am, no one does," Lenny whispered.

"You did the right thing Lenny, it was kill or be killed babe. We just gotta make sure this doesn't ever land at your feet or the clubs. That was all Clay was worried about babe, he needed to know what shit storm could be headed our way," Jax reasoned with her but he knew as soon as he said it the mood changed. Lenny shut off immediately and stood from the bed to find her jeans and shirt before throwing the t-shirt belonging to Jax off and dressing her self.

She hadn't known what reaction she was hoping for or if this was what she expected but Lenny suddenly felt very claustrophobic and needed some space but Jax pulled her back by her arm.

"Lenny, quit this shit out. You came to Charming for help and you'll get it. We just gotta tell the others," Jax could see the panic in Lenny's face even though she was trying to hide it , "Any one of them would have done the same," Jax had closed the space between them and his hand cupped her cheek offering some reassurance.

"Okay," Lenny relented, " just let me tell Bobby first," she turned away from Jax before any thing could happen like last night. "I'm gonna head home and have a shower before I go see Bobby at the hospital,"

"Sure," Jax felt I slightly annoyed at the rebuff but did his best to hide it. "I'll swing by the house later,"

As soon the door shut Jax lay down on his bed, he could still smell her on his pillows and he didn't know if he'd ever get Lenny out of his head. The girl was under his skin now and it was too late to go back.
