10.
Lisa walked into her daughters room. "Hey babe. You okay?"
"I will be mom."
"I know. It's just that being your mom I hate that you are in pain right now."
"Yeah. I wanted to talk to you about something though."
"Okay."
"Since I'm graduating I've been thinking of going to community college to maybe get a nursing degree."
"That's wonderful baby. It will keep your mind focused."
"Yeah, I also want to get out of here for a little while. Just some time to breathe and try to get past this with Abel. I love him momma, why do I still love him?"
"Baby, I know you do. It's okay to love him. He made a mistake, granted it was at the urging of two idiots but you will learn to forgive that. Just take some time like you said. Breathe and then you will be fresh to start over with Abel."
"You think I can?"
"I know you can. You two have loved each other for too long to let it die."
"Yeah, so are you going to tell dad I will be going to commute to college?"
"Yeah, I got it. I'm just glad you decided to stay close to home."
They hugged each other and then Lisa walked downstairs.
Abel opened the door to church.
"Yeah, I'm here." he said.
"Sit down son."
"I don't know why you are so uptight dad? I've heard the stories of how you were."
"You are not me. I made a lot of stupid mistakes and I'm trying to keep you from making the same."
"Yeah, like setting me up with a croweater." Abel said sarcastically.
"Yeah, one. That was my mistake. The rest are yours. Now I need to know if you are going to stop."
"Stop? Why? I have no one to stop for."
"Angelica still loves you Abel."
"Yeah, so much so that she couldn't even look at me. You heard her dad. It's over."
"If you don't Happy will probably kill you."
"Yeah, that ain't happening." Abel said a little too cocky.
"I think you should go spend some time with one of the other charters. Until you get your head on straight."
"What?"
"I think Tacoma would be good."
"You are seriously sending me away. Just because I like pussy? This just isn't right."
"Do you want me to tell your mom what I just walked into? Because she will find out if you continue."
"Fine, I'll go." Abel said.
"I'll let them know." Jax said as his son walked out. "I hope I'm doing the right thing." he mumbled to himself.
That night Jax dreaded the conversation he was going to have with Tara. She was going to be angry that he was sending Abel to another charter for awhile. He knew he was going to have to tell her without Abel knowing. He tossed his cigarette away as he got off his bike. Then he walked into the front door.
"Hey." she said as he walked into the kitchen.
"Are you still mad at me?"
"I'm mad at the situation. I sometimes wonder what you are thinking then I remember who brought you up and realize that this was the way you were taught."
"I'm sorry baby." he said pulling her into his arms.
"I just hate that my baby is hurting now."
"I know. Look I need to talk to you about something and it's going to make you even angrier."
"Then do you have to tell me?" she asked jokingly.
"I do. I promised to always tell you everything baby."
"Okay."
"I'm sending Abel to the Tacoma charter for a little while."
"Why?"
He then went on to tell her what he walked in on.
"That little shit. Did he not learn anything about what we said?"
"I'm so sorry Tara."
"No this is on him now. Yeah, I think it's best. I don't want Angelica walking in on that. He needs to get his head straight."
"Yeah. So he is going to leave tomorrow and you can't tell him I told you what happened. It would only embarrass him and that's the threat I used to get him to go."
"Okay. Fuck, why does he have to be so much like you babe?"
"I know. I'm sorry for everything. Everything I ever did to you."
"I know."
"So you are going to another charter?"Harry asked his friend.
"Yeah, dad thinks it's best. To get my head on straight he said."
"So what's the real reason?" Harry asked.
Abel told him and Harry started laughing. "You go man. Three of them at one time."
"Yeah, it was pretty awesome until dad walked in. I was so fucking hard and then it was like a deflatable balloon."
Harry laughed. "I saw this girl at school and boy is she fucking hot. I would definitely like some of that."
"You go for it Harry. It's fantastic." Abel said.
Jade walked away from the room tears pooling in her eyes. She hated the fact that her brother was acting like that now and that Harry was into all that.
Abel made it to the Tacoma charter and the one good thing was dad had to make him a patched member before he could. He was riding on air. Walking into the new clubhouse in Tacoma he felt like a king. The croweaters there were a new breed for him and he was going to make the rounds.
"Look at this little shit coming in here like he owns the place." Tacoma brother Gator said.
"Yeah, looks like he may have to be taken down a peg or two." Banner said..
"Have to be careful though. He's the Samcro presidents son."
"Hey darlin, what's your name?"
"Candy, Yours?"
"Abel, Abel Teller."
"You need some loving Abel Teller?"
"I could use some." he said and they went back to the room he was assigned.
