8.

When Lyla caught up to Angelica she took her in her arms and let her cry.

"Angelica, I know this hurts you baby, but you have to know that what they did they thought it was best for you. I know how that just sounded but it's true. They never wanted you hurt by this."

"I know Aunt Lyla, it just hurts to know he's been with other girls. I don't know if I can still feel the same about him."

"You will. It might take some time but you will. Look at what your mom, Aunt Tara and I have been through. We were all with other people before we met our men. They were with other women before us. You have to just love the person they are. Now once you are in a relationship than all bets are off. You have a right to demand that your man stay just with you."

"He would have been mine already if dad hadn't been the way he was." she said sniffling.

"I know baby. Men have weird ways of thinking. That's why we are always the better sex. We just let them think they are." she said smiling.

That got a chuckle out of Angelica.

"Thank you Aunt Lyla."

"Anytime babygirl." she said as they slowly walked back home.

Jade had been in turmoil the whole day. She was worried about Angelica and she was worried about what she should do with what she knew. She ran into a hard body as she was walking and looked up.

"Well if it isn't Ms. Jade Teller, princess of Samcro." Sammy the football quarterback said. "Did you lose your gang little princess?"

"Get out of my way Sammy." she said.

"Ooo, you're scaring me. What you going to do?" he asked smirking.

"I'm going to shove my foot up your ass if you don't move." she replied angrily. There was a crowd starting to gather around them and when Sonny and Harry walked out to the courtyard they saw what was going on. Before anything else was said Sonny had punched Sammy in the nose breaking it.

"You leave Jade alone prick." he yelled at the boy on the ground.

" What is going on here?" the principal came over and asked.

"He punched me for no reason Mr. Green." Sammy said.

"Sonny Lowman come with me now." Sonny glared at Sammy then left with the principal. Harry grabbed Jade's arm and walked her away from it all.

"What was going on there?" he asked her.

She told him about not paying attention and running into Sammy and how he started acting.

"Why weren't you paying attention?"

"I had some things on my mind."

"What? You always use to talk to me Jade, I feel lost without you." he said.

"I'm sorry. It's just so busy trying to make sure I max all my classes."

"I get it, but talk to me now." he said and they walked off to the park to talk.

Once back at the house Lisa's phone rang. She hung up and looked at the girls around the table.

"Shit. I have to go pick up Sonny. He just got suspended for fighting."

"What happened?" Tara asked.

"Apparently some boy was picking on Jade so he took care of the kid. Harry is with Jade now. Sonny said he saw them walking to the park.

"I think we need to be having some major talks with our families." Tara said softly.

"Yeah, and I think we need to do it as our large family. The guys are acting worse then the kids." Lisa said.

"Yeah, let's meet back here at six." Lyla said.

"That's a plan. I'll let Jax and Abel know."

"Yeah, we'll all meet here at six." Lyla said.

Tara called Jax and told him they were having a family dinner at Lisa and Happy's to be there by six. She also made sure he promised to bring Abel, Happy and Opie with him. When he got off the phone he knew something was up. The cold way Tara talked it wasn't going to be a friendly get together. He walked over to Happy and Opie.

"Well guys, I think the shit is fixing to hit the proverbial fan." Jax said.

"What's up?" Happy asked.

Jax told them what happened at their house the night before and this morning. By the time he finished up with the talk about the dinner Happy looked down right terrified.

"So why is my family going to be there?" Opie asked thinking thank God he was safe from all this.

"Because I guess Lyla was there today and when Angelica found out and stormed off Lyla went after her and now Angelica wants her there."

"Angelica knows?" Happy asked.

"Yeah."

"Fuck, fuck, fuck." Happy yelled out.

"Who wants to fuck?" Abel said joking not realizing what the conversation was about. Happy started to walk towards him and Jax put his arm out.

"This isn't on him Happy. This is on you and I."

"Fuck, I know. What the hell am I going to do? How do I look my babygirl in the eye?"

"What's wrong with Angelica?" Abel asked and Jax told him.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck." Abel yelled out.

"Yeah, we got it." Opie said chuckling a little then stopped when he had three very angry guys looking at him.

Angelica was sitting in the den talking to Sonny waiting for the others to show.

"So you took up for your girl?" she asked with a smile trying to lighten the mood.

"I wish she was my girl. I don't think it's ever going to happen."

"Sonny, right now she doesn't see anyone. Until she has her degree that is the only thing she thinks about, but I did have her admit that there was one guy she was interested in but she wouldn't tell me who. I don't want to get your hopes up but the way she described him it sounded like you."

"You shitting me?" he asked with a smile.

"It's true. Just let her have room and she will find you. But whatever you do don't follow dad's guidelines on croweaters."

She then told him what happened.

"Wow, that's pretty cool of dad." he started to say and then saw her face, "I mean that's pretty shitty. But as a guy, I would love to have access to all that."

"What about Jade? Don't you think she would be hurt by it?"

"Yeah, but the truth is there sis. Now Abel can make sure you are pleasured."

"Yeah, I get to feel pleasure knowing he could be thinking about anyone of those girls and maybe even thinking he wished he was with them."

Sonny thought for a moment. "Wow, it's one of those catch 22's or something. There's good and bad."

"Yeah, well right now all I see is the bad." Then they looked up when they heard the door open and hear there dad's voice.

"Guess we better go in there." Sonny said.

"Yeah." They stood up and Sonny was in front of Angelica. But when she came into the room she burst into tears when she looked up to see Abel. All she could picture was him with another girl. She went running to her room.

All of them looked at each other and no one knew what to do. Lyla then said, "I'll get her. Let me have a moment though." They nodded and she went up to Angelica.
