Chapter 6
AJ hadn't even thought about that. Would she tell her? Invite her? Or would it even matter, I mean her moms brain was practically mush. She stuttered unsure of what to tell Gemma. "I don't think you should invite her". Hannah said quietly. AJ looked at her in shock. I mean it was Hannah who was always telling us to be more understanding toward mom. But then again the women did bitch slap her. "Maybe I should ask dad". AJ said. Gemma scoffed. "Baby girl we all know what the answer would be". Well she couldn't argue with that. "I think I might just tell her". AJ said. "I mean she is still my mom". Gemma nodded in approval and Hannah just went back to her magazine, what is up with her AJ thought.
After a few hours of wedding talk she drove over to the clubhouse. She wanted to go tell her mom that she was getting married. And she wanted to take Ryan with her. She decided to not tell her dad unless it went well and her mom understood. Went she got to the club church was just getting out and she went up to Ryan. "Oh look it's my soon to be wife". He said with a smile. They kissed and she looked up at him. "There is something I need to do and I want you to come with me". He eyed her suspiciously but agreed. When they go in the car her asked were to and she said "Lodi mental facility". He looked over at her and said "But I thought you couldn't go there without your dad". She sighed and said "I'm a 20 almost 21 year old women I can make my own choices. And besides I have you that is the same kind of protection". He just shrugged and they started the drive to the mental hospital.
Ryan pulled his truck into an empty space and stopped the car. He sighed as he looked over at AJ who was staring out the window. "Babe you don't have to do this". He said. "We can just go get something to eat". AJ looked over at her fiancée and said "I have to do this. She's my mother". Ryan smiled and they walked into the hospital and Ryan said that he would wait in the waiting room. She walked up to the front desk were a nice older women was. The lady smiled and said "Can I help you"? AJ smiled and said "Yes hi I'm here to see my mother Joanne Trager". The lady smiled and said "Right this way dear". They walked down a long hallway that was all white. Like as white as Casper the ghost. And just as creepy. The lady stopped before they got to a room that looked like a little kids arts and craft room. "Honey I have to warn you she isn't her best today but you can still go and see her". AJ looked at the room and then the women "I need to tell her something important and I fear if I don't do it today I might never do it". They lady smiled and motioned her into the room. AJ looked around the room. Caretakers were all around the room helping the patients with their projects and other things. It was so sad to see all those people like that. She saw her mom in the back of the room and walked over. The nurse looked up at her and said "Hello you must be one of her daughters". They shook hands and AJ said "Yeah um how did you know that"? The nurse smiled and said "She has tons of pictures in her room of you"? AJ smiled before she got hooked on drugs she remember her mom always had tons of pictures around and was always taking them. AJ smiled at the memory. Tears came to her eyes and as she sat at in a chair across from her mom she sniffled. AJ looked at her mom she was a mess she didn't understand. Mom was just like Gemma only with a little less attitude and a man with lower ranking. "Hey mom it's me AJ" Her mom looked up and smiled. "Its my little AJ bear". She said with a sweet smile. "I have missed you so much". AJ smiled they just sat there for about 10 minutes and then AJ said. "Mom there is something I wanted to tell you". Her mother looked up and said "What's that angel". AJ took a deep breath and said "Well I'm getting married". AJ looked at her mother and her mother gasped. "I'm so happy for you honey"! Then all of the sudden it's like a switch went off and her mother turned into a monster. "That reminds me of my wedding with that low life piece of shit you call your father". She screamed and someone yelled for security. "I hate him that stupid bastared"! She screamed even louder. She could her they heavy boots of the security men coming down the hall. "And YOU"! She spat. "Are the fucking spitting image of him"! AJ stared sobbing she knew what was coming next. It was the same routine when she had outburst. "Mom please don't say it please". AJ sob whispered. "You and your sister are nothing but devil spawns! And I hate your guts! The only reason I had you was because you father wanted a son! For that motherfucking club!" Just then her mother lunged across the table and tried to attack her. A huge security guard pulled her away and into the hallway. "Miss are you alright". AJ shook her head yes sobbing even though she wasn't. "I knew it was a mistake to come here." She said and she took off down the hall.
Ryan was sitting there in the waiting room and saw AJ all but run down the hall. He jumped up and saw that she was crying he knew that this was a bad idea. He ran after her and when he caught up to her he wrapped her in his arms. "Baby it's ok. It's ok what happened"? AJ pulled away and looked up at him she was crying so hard it was hard for her to talk. "It's the same thing every fucking time! She get all crazy and then she attacked me and and and ". AJ started crying and Ryan hugged her. "Hey lets go back to Gemma's house. We will call her on the way". AJ nodded and they headed back to charming.
