XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"Abel, please." I tried to reach across the table for his hand, but his pulled it away as quick as a bolt of lighting. I felt my heart break into a million pieces.

"No." His tone was still so flat. This was such a big mistake. "You two have lied to me for over 20 years?" He stood up quick, nearly flipping the chair upside down.

"Abel Christopher!" Jax yelled to him, but he just kept walking until he was out the door and let it slam behind him. Jax hurried out after him while I sat at the table, the girls quiet and gazing off into nothingness.

"Holy fuck." Nova said. I burried my head in my hand and lost all control, screaming and crying, my hands filling with saline. The girls, even though I'm sure they didn't want to, both hugged and held onto me tight while I sobbed like a small child.

Abels POV

I got outside, my head racing and running a million different ways. Finding out you've been lied to your entire life wasn't exactly an easy thing to deal with. Knowing that I came face to face with my real mother without even knowing.. I just didn't know how to feel.

I ran down to the end of the garage where Dad let me keep my bike, hopping on quick and taking off. I watched Dad run towards his, hopping on it and taking off after me. I wasn't sure where I was even going, but anywhere was better than here. I took a bunch of random turns, up and down a few alleys to lose my dad, and it worked.

I came to some random little shit-show bar, parking my bike on the side of the building and heading inside. I needed to be alone, and I needed beer.

There weren't that many people there, only 4. I took a seat at the end of the bar, all by myself. I waited for a few minutes when a bartender emerged from the back, carrying a case of Miller Lite bottles to put in the coolers.

"Hey, sorry." she greeted me with a bright white smile. Her hair was long and golden brown, almost a dirty blonde. Lots of waves in it, and she had one small braid on the side that wrapped around to the back. Her shorts were short and her legs were long, her light brown skin looking like it was kissed by a sun god. She was tall and fit, perfect in every way.

I was so caught up in here, every detail of her body and face, I literally jumped when she was practically yelling at me asking what drink I wanted.

"Off into space, eh?" She questioned, fulfulling my request of a Budweiser.

"A lot of my mind." Was my reply. She checked to make sure her other patrons were taken care of before pulling up a seat on the other side of the bar, infront of me. She pulled out a Marlboro red from her cigarette pack and lit it, taking a long drag.

"It happens," she ashed her cigarette and sat it down in the ashtray. "Never seen you in here before, we don't have a lot of new comers. But I'm Nina, the main bar maiden. Well, sometimes it seems like I'm the only bar maiden." She chuckled.

"Abel." I took a swig of my beer and sat it down, lighting myself a cigarette immediately after. "Yeah, I've uh only been drinking over at my dads clubhouse."

Her eye brows raised up at me, her position shifting. "Clubhouse? Are you one of the SONs or something?"

I chuckled, finishing my cigarette and my beer, motioning for another. "Nah. Old man was, is. I ain't even from here, just in town visiting and letting my life get fucked up I guess." I laughed. I was a ball of fucking shit emotion and just wasn't sure how to take care of it all.

"Ah, I gotcha." She didn't seem put off by that fact. She must have been a Charming resident her entire life. "My sisters boyfriend was a prospect for them a few years ago til he got blown up doing some shit he shouldn't have been. Shit happens though." She went back to cleaning up glasses and cups and throwing out empty bottles. "So how long are you in Charming for?"

"Supposed to be two weeks but I'm not so sure of that anymore." I laughed, but I wasn't joking. My parents just dropped the biggest bombshell of my entire life on me and I wasn't sure how I was going to or needed to deal with it. Should I go meet this woman? I mean really meet her. Do I just let it go like nothing? It doesn't change who my mother is, it didn't bother me like that. Blood didn't mean shit to me; that woman was there the day they brought me home, she was my mother. But they lied for so long. Maybe I couldn't understand because I wasn't a parent, but holy fuck I needed to.

I was mad, but I heard my mother cry when I walked out. I heard that crack in her voice. It was obviously something she never wanted me to know, but Dad had other ideas. It seemed like my Dad had completely opposing views of this trip than my Mom did. This was going to make for an interesting two weeks.

I sat and just talked with Nina about anything and everything that either of us brought up while the bar cleared out, one by one. Soon it was just the two of us and we were both having a great time. I decided it was time to check my phone; it has been a few hours.

I had missed texts and calls galore from both my parents, mostly Mom though. I sent her a quick text saying I would meet her back at Amandas so we could talk and I could let her know how I felt. I just found out about my little brother I never knew about and that my Mom wasn't the one who gave birth to me all in one day. I needed a fucking break.

"Well I know it's a little straight forward," she scribbled something down on a napkin and handed it my way. "But I get off at 4. Gimme a call and maybe we can meet up, go do something." I wasn't going to object to that. I was so infatuated with her, I wanted to spend a lot more time with her.

I hopped off the stool and shoved her number in my pocket and grabbing my helmet. I left her a $10 tip and went on my way. I needed to get back and talk to Mom and Dad about all of this.

Logans POV

I had cried for what seemed like hours, though only about an hour at most. The girls just sat with me and let me cry, assuring me Abel would come around and be back. It was a lot for him, and them, to take in.

"I get it." Alex assured me. "You made the best decision. If you've literally been there since the day he was born, you are his mother. And after what his real one did, I don't blame you for that decision."

Real one. The term hissed in my head. I was his real fucking mother. I raised him. I took care of him. I was the one he called Momma when he said it for the first time. I raised him with Jax. We were his fucking parents. Not that stupid cunt. I should have killed her when I had the opportunity.

"Mom, really. He just needs to cool off." Nova tried once again to console me, but neither of the girls were helping me out with this.

It was a relief when Jax came back in, but not once he let the door slam.

"He lost me. I couldn't find him." He grabbed two beers from behind the bar, sliding one to me. "He just needs time to cool off."

I stood up, slamming my hands down on the table. "I'm tired of fucking hearing that." And the tears started again. "He doesn't need time to cool off. He hates me. Our son fucking hates me, Jax."

"No I don't."

I spun around and saw my boy, his expression better than what it was when he left the clubhouse.

"I could never hate you, Mom." He walked over and gave me the biggest and tightest hug he ever has, letting me cry. I may have been the parent, but I felt more like the child at this point. "I just needed a minute to take all this in. It's a lot."

Before I could say anything else to him or him to me, Nova butted in.

"Well, listen, since this family melt down is over, I have a few things I need to take care of. Cab is here, gotta go." And she was out the door.

This was going to be a long fucking two weeks.

Novas POV

I had to get out of there, this family was too much for me. If I had to deal with this drama my entire life.. Christ.

I hopped in the taxi and gave him Toby's address. We made plans last night to meet up for a bit today. Since we had met we clicked together like a puzzle and were talking non-stop. It was nice to see him be so interested in everything I had to say, just like I was interested in all the things he had to tell me that I've missed since we left 15 years ago.

I hung on to every word he had to say. Plus he was really into music, which was a plus. That's what we were going to be doing today; he was going to help me with a few mixes I was working on.

The taxi dropped me off and I headed to the door, knocking. It was only a few seconds before he answered. I was so excited to get to work with him on some stuff and just hang out.

"Hey!" He looked so happy to see me. I walked in and he shut the door behind me.

And then pushed me up against the wall, kissing me hard. I ropped my bags and jumped up on him, wrapping my legs around his waist. I tangled my fingers through his hair while he carried me down the hall.

Alright, so maybe I was excited for more than the music and just talking. Oops.
