New By Laws-Chapter 46
Running-Wild22-Yep it seems my girl can't catch a break. Hopefully that will change soon.
TeamEveryoneButEdward- I think Jade probably needs some hospitalization but we know how Gemma would feel about that. The Teller's take care of their own and they feel seeing a shrink is a sign of weakness…which I do not agree with.
Jaotvdspn1994-Yes Tara did have to bring her raggedy butt in and ruin what little happiness they were finally having. I don't think Jax will react like we would assume he would react to Jade killing her.
Ladybre01-Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy.
Angelicedg-I do feel bad for Jade and also Tara…I guess once you go Teller…..I'm going to try to incorporate the Grimm Bastards in these last few chapters. I kind of cringe a little when people ask me who I envision as Jade or anyone of my OC's is because what I envision will be totally different then what my readers envision. However who I found my mind constantly seeing as I wrote this is Brooke Bailey. She was on basketball wives…now mind you, she can be a little hood but she is one of my girl crushes and I think she could hold it down as an old lady to Jax. Plus her body is off the chain! I can totally see Jax going ga ga for her.
India- Here ya go chica! I hope you enjoy.
Guest- Glad you love SOA…make sure you check out the other SOA interracial fanfictions on this site.
Jade did not know when the kitchen started to fill up with people. As she rocked back and forth in a daze every so often someone one would squat down on the floor to where she was sitting and try to get her attention. She vaguely remember seeing, Bobby, Tig and Happy's face as they tried to calm her down.
"I'm afraid this was too much for her Jackie Boy." Chibs said as he watched Jade stare into space.
"Get her off the godamn floor Jax! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Gemma's voice pierced through Jade's frantic thoughts.
"Gemma?" Jade whispered.
"I'm here baby." Gemma knelt down next to Jade. She was a total mess and covered in blood. Gemma looked down at Tara and shook her head. Gemma did not feel any feelings whatsoever as Tara's lifeless eyes stared up at her.
"Where are the boys?" Gemma asked Jax as Jade let her lift her off the floor.
"In the room with Tig. He's got the door shut." Jax answered as he watched his wife slowly walk with Gemma.
"Get her out of here!" Gemma hissed as she nodded toward Tara's body. Jax lifted his arms in frustration.
"I'm working on it ma…damn!"
Gemma shot Jax a watch your tone look and took Jade to the bathroom to clean her up.
"How are we going to handle this boss? Chigger woods?" Happy asked.
"Jesus Christ!" Jax yelled forgetting his kids were trying to sleep in the other room. He could not believe this shit! How could Jade do this to Tara? The club votes against him leaving earlier and then he comes home to this tragedy. Could his life get any worse?
"Jax it looks like Jade didn't have a choice. Looks like Tara came with a gun." Bobby tried to reason as he could feel the rage radiating off Jax. His niece yet again was put in danger because of Jax. Bobby had thought it would have been an unanimous vote to let Jax leave the club but Tig and West voted no.
"How did it come to this? My high school sweetheart on the floor dead because my wife killed her?" Jax asked Bobby completely at a lost. "What could I have done to prevent this?"
"Jax this is not your fault. You had chosen Jade and Tara just could not accept that and let you go. There is nothing you could have done." Bobby looked down at Tara.
"Jax we need to get the body out of here." Happy told Jax.
"Just give me a minute!" Jax snapped as his body started to shake.
Gemma filled the tub up with hot water and peeled the blood soaked clothes off Jade.
"I know you had to do what had to be done sweetheart. You were protecting your boys and to be honest I don't think Tara would have ever gotten over my son. She would have continued to be a thorn in your side." Gemma softly told Jade as she help Jade lower herself in the tub. "You did the right thing Jade. She would have killed you. I know she would not have stopped until you were dead….she was insane." Gemma put soap on the shower puff and began to wipe the blood off of Jade's body. Gemma looked over Jade's body and shook her head at all the scars she had on her body from being associated with the club and her love for her son. Now she would have yet another mental scar.
"It's going to be alright sweetheart."
"He hates me." Jade whispered as Gemma took a washcloth and gently wiped down her face.
"No sweetheart…Jax could never hate you. He is just in shock right now from misplace feelings. He has known Tara since he was a teenage so he thinks he still loves her but that is far from the truth."
Jax covered his mouth trying to stifle back his screams of anguish as he watched Happy and Chibs roll Tara's body in a rug that was under the coffee table. Jade had finally brought a new one since the last one was used to roll up Frankie's body and now Tara was being rolled up in the new one. Tears rolled down Jax cheeks as Happy secured the body in the rug. Jax knew Tara all his life. She did not deserve this. He should have done something to protect her, protect Jade; something could have been done to keep her from coming after his family and her death could have been avoided. Her death was on him. He might as well had stuck the knife in her throat himself.
'She doesn't deserve Chigger Woods. Call Skeeter. Have him cremate her as soon as possible…..and Happy you make sure Skeeter keeps this quiet."
"Sure thing boss." Happy opened the front door to see if the coast was clear. Chibs went out, pulled the back of the van all the way to the front door and they quickly put Tara in the back.
"Call me when it's done." Jax told Chibs.
"How is she?" Bobby asked Gemma as she walked into the kitchen side stepping all the blood to get water out the fridge for Jade.
"I'm going to have to give her a couple of xanax to calm her down." Gemma looked over at Jax who was sitting at the table staring down at the pool of blood on the floor.
"Jackson…you need to get this kitchen cleaned up." She all but snapped at him. What the hell was his problem? He needed to be consoling his wife right now.
"I will take care of it Gemma." Bobby said getting up and pulling cleaning supplies from under the kitchen sink.
"Jackson you need to go in there and be with your wife." Gemma said walking up and looming over Jax. Jax looked up with tears still in his eyes. He shook his head no.
"I can't see her mom. I can't look at her right now."
Gemma pulled her hand back and slapped Jax across the face.
"Snap the fuck out of it! She is your wife! She protected your boys. Would you have rather come home to a dead wife and babies?! Huh?! You can't blame Jade! She did what anyone one of us would have done to protect our own."
Jax put his head back down as the sting from his mothers slap festered. Gemma put up her hands in frustration.
"Unfuckinbelievable! Bobby handle this." She told him as she picked up the water and went back to the bedroom to Jade.
"Hey Gemma," Tig whispered as he cracked open the boys bedroom door. "The boys are back asleep. They need help in there?"
"Yes. They need to get the kitchen cleaned up." She told him walking back in the bedroom and shutting the door.
"Are my babies alright?" Jade asked as she blew her nose.
"They are fine….fast asleep.
"What did they do with her-"
"Don't you dare worry about that. Jax and the guys took care of it. Here take a couple of these." Gemma instructed handing her a couple of blue pills. After about fifteen minutes, Jade finally fell asleep. Gemma grabbed her soil clothes, threw them in the washing machine with Clorox, and put it on quick wash. She will have to burn the clothes in her back yard sometime tomorrow. After making sure the boys were still asleep Gemma went to check on the progress in the kitchen. Bobby and Tig almost had it spotless. Jax looked to still be in the same position Gemma left him in earlier but this time he was pouring shots of whiskey and knocking them back one after the other.
"Really guys? The last thing he needs now is to get drunk." Gemma snatched the bottle out of Jax's hand. She grabbed his chin with her right hand and looked down directly in his face.
"If you don't fuckin man up right now Jax! This is not the time for you to fall apart. Your family needs you!"
Jax pushed his mother's hand off his face. "You need to back the fuck off of me mom!" he hissed at her causing her to step back. Jax grabbed his keys, cut and walked out the house in blood stained clothes. Gemma let out a sigh of frustration as she heard his bike take off.
"Tig follow him and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."
