AN: Another Sons Of Anarchy story. Now this time it's gonna be a Happy Lowman OC story. Hopefully everyone will enjoy this new story.

Alyssa had everything she ever wanted in life. She had friends, family a loving and amazing husband of ten years, and a amazing job working at the Blue Moon Cafe. Alyssa Knowles life was perfect. Or at least that's what she wanted everyone to think. Because in reality Alyssa's life isn't so perfect at all. Her husband of ten years is not amazing and wonderful, instead he's a controlling asshole which he has been for the last five years. Ever since he got promoted at his job everything changed in their marriage. Alyssa was never allowed to go anywhere without him. She wasn't even allowed to have friends over anymore. Because of him Alyssa had to cut all ties from her friends. She even had to quit her job because she was afraid that if her co workers knew about what was going on at home, someone would probably call the police on her husband and that's the very last thing she would want. Because she knows the moment the police gets involve they're going end up asking questions. Questions she can't answer.

Lifting her shirt up Alyssa inhales a sharp breath the moment she saw a huge bruise on her stomach. As Alyssa gently pressed against her bruise she hissed in pain as she pulled her shirt back down, Alyssa looked herself in the mirror as she noticed the small cut on her bottom lip and the bruise on her face. The swellen came down some about half and hour ago. But the bruise was still there.

Alyssa and Brian have argued a few times, and he has never laid a hand on Alyssa no matter how mad he gotten with her. Brian promised that he would never hurt her physically. But tonight something snapped in Brian and the first time in the ten years of their marriage, he hit Alyssa right in the face. What's even worse while Alyssa was on the ground, she got kicked so hard in the stomach that it cost a even bigger bruise. The emotional abuse Alyssa could handle, she was able to handle it just fine. But the physical abuse is something she can't handle. Alyssa has to get away from Brian as soon as possible before it ends up getting more worse, before she ends up dead. She needs to find a way to get her and her two kids far away from Brian, before he ends up hurting them. Even though he swears he would never hurt their children or put them in danger, Alyssa can't take that risk.

Taking a deep breath Alyssa walked back into her room and grabs her cell as she sat down on her bed and called the one person, she could count on. The one person she knew who would always be there for her no matter what. The only person who has her back ever since they were kids. Alyssa called her older sister Tara Knowles in Charming. As soon as Alyssa found Tara's number she hit the call button and placed her cell against her ear as she waits for Tara to answer.

" Hello?" Tara asked as soon as she answered.It was already in the middle of the night as Tara was already half asleep where she heard her cell going off.

" Tara?" Alyssa asked as she wanted to make sure that it was really her. They haven't talked all summer not since the last time Alyssa, Brian came out to Charming with the kids. Even then Tara and Jax had no idea what was really going between Alyssa and Brian. They still don't and Alyssa wants to keep it that way until she's ready to tell Tara the truth, so for now she's gonna have to keep what's ever going between her and Brian to herself. But of course the huge bruise on her face might. not help.

" Alyssa?" Tara asked as she sat up and turned on her lamp as she looked at the time." Jesus Alyssa it's like in the middle of the night. Why are you calling so late? Is something wrong?" Tara asked in concern.

" What makes you think something is wrong? Can't I just call my big sister without you assuming there's something wrong?" Alyssa asked.

" Alyssa, what's going on?"

Alyssa sighs exasperatedly as she rolled her eyes." Alright, I was calling to let you know that me and the kids are coming to Charming tomorrow, and I was wondering if we can stay with you and Jax for a few days."

" You want to stay with us for a few days? and your just now asking, at one in the morning?" Tara asked as she took a look at the time on her phone real quick.

" Yeah, sorry about that. It was sorta of a last minute decision." Alyssa answered as she shrugs her shoulders as she started to pack a few things for her and the kids.

" A last minute decision? " Tara asked in suspicion as she can't help but feel something is seriously wrong and Alyssa is obviously hiding something or she wouldn't be acting so weird right now.

Alyssa sighs as she rolled her eyes as she was getting little tired of Tara's twenty questions already." Yeah, a last minute decision. So can the kids and I stay with you guys?" She asked as she zipped up the duffel bag." Tara please, I just wanna come see you and I know the kids would want to see Abel and Thomas, also I still wanna meet my new baby niece."

Tara had just given birth to her and Jax's baby girl two months ago." And, I can't wait for Sabrina to meet her aunt too. Um, yeah I just gotta let Jax know. But I'm sure it'll be fine for you guys to stay with us for a few days. What about Brian?"

" Brian... is um..." Alyssa sighs as she was trying to come up with a answer." Brian is gonna be out of town on business for a few days." Alyssa hates lying to Tara but right now it's just best if Tara doesn't know what's really going on or what Alyssa's real reason for coming out to Charming.

" And he's cool with you coming out here, with the kids?" Tara asked as she wanted to make sure that Brian was okay with Alyssa coming out to Charming without him.

" Oh, yeah... he's fine with it. Actually he suggested that I come out and see you guys." Alyssa answered as she blew out a breath and looked over at the time as she realized that Brian could come home any time and she really doesn't want him to know that she talked to Tara, or that she's planning on leaving him first thing in the morning. A huge part of her wishes that he won't come home at all.

" I should let you get back to sleep and I will see you guys tomorrow." Alyssa said with a small smile as she quickly wipe her tears. After Alyssa said goodbye and end the call. Alyssa then set her cell down as she groans in frustration as she fell back against her bed. For ten years of marriage Alyssa never thought that it would actually end this way. She never even thought she would actually leave Brian, she never really thought about it. But after what happened between them tonight. Alyssa knew that she can't stay with him anymore and she needs to get out of this marriage before he hurts her again, or even worse get her killed.

The next morning Tara was in the middle of picking up the living room when she heard the front door opening. She looked over her shoulder as she noticed Gemma walking through Tara sighs deeply as she continued to clean up. Tara seriously sometimes wishes that Gemma didn't have to come over every morning or that Jax didn't give Gemma back her key so quickly. Tara still hasn't forgiven Gemma for the car accident that almost caused her sons lives. Tara could've lost her boys because of Gemma.

" Are you expecting company?" Gemma asked as she closed the door behind her and started to look around the living room.

" Alyssa and the kids are gonna be staying with us for a few days." Tara answered as she finish cleaning up.

" Seriously? Did she say why?" Gemma asked as she was little curious of why Tara's little sister who left Charming ten years ago wants to all of sudden come back. There's gotta be a reason and Gemma would like to know.

Tara sighs exasperatedly as she rolls her eyes." I don't know Gemma, I really didn't ask. All Alyssa told me that she's coming out here for a visit and she asked if she could stay with us for a few days." She answered as she shrugs her shoulders.

" Don't you find it a little suspicious that Alyssa is coming back after being gone for ten years?" Gemma asked as she placed both hands on her hips.

Tara scoffs as she shook her head." No, I don't, only you find that suspicious. Look Alyssa is coming home today and I would really appreciate it if you didn't stick around when she gets here." Tara isn't really sure what Gemma is up to. But as long as Alyssa is here, Tara wants Gemma to stay far away from her little sister.

Gemma pressed her lips together as she looks at Tara for a moment. She sighs as she rolled her eyes." Fine, for a few days I will stay away. Now can I see my grandkids? Are they up?" Gemma asked as she set her purse down.

" Neeta came early this morning and took them all out for the day, so I can clean up."

" Well, I guess I will go to TM then." Gemma said as she grabs her purse and started to opened the door but before Gemma stepped out of the house, she looked over at Tara for a moment." You know, you and I used to be able to talk about anything, and I miss that. I miss you, and I miss my family. "

Tara shrugs her shoulders." You should've thought about that before you decided to get behind the wheel, while you were still high."

" How many times do I need to apologize for that? You know at least Jax was able to forgive me, so why can't you?"

" You drove while you were high, you ran off the road into a tree. Which caused Abel's heart to stop. I almost lost my sons because of you, and your seriously wondering why I can't forgive you? Tara scoffs as she ran both hands down her face." You know what, just please go. Because I really don't want to have this conversation with you. "

Without saying a word Gemma grabbed her purse and walked out of the house slamming the door behind her. Getting behind the wheel of her SUV and after she closed her door, Gemma pulled out her cell and Wayne Unser. If anyone can find the kind of information that Gemma needs Unser is the right person and since it's not a club thing, he's the only person who can. Tara's sister is coming back to Charming and Gemma needs to know why.
