Chapter 31
Just like a tattoo

Jax POV

I waited at the bar while Tara bandaged Abel's ribs in the clubhouse I hated to threaten my oldest Son and especially hated what I had to ask him to do but it was all necessary, Tara came out of church first sent me a meaningful look and gestured for me to follow her we walked down the hallways to the apartments we let ourselves into my old one and she spun to look at me hands on hips

"How is he?" I asked and pulled her in for a hug

"He's hurt Jax, devastated but I think he understands why it has to be done" Tara said burying her face into my chest

"I hate that I had to do it but Abel's going to President one day and who's going to follow him with Kyle Hobart's daughter at he's side" I said

"The same men who followed you with a straight earning neo-natal surgeon at yours" Tara said with a laugh

"You're different you earned their trust took bullets out of their bleeding brothers more times than I could count, Abel will come around Tara" I said and Tara leaned back and looked up at me with a small smile I leaned down and gave her a brief kiss

"I'm so glad you're okay Jax, you have no idea how hard it is when you guys leave to do shit like that and I'm left not knowing" Tara said I placed another kiss on her forehead

"You don't need to worry nothing will ever happen to me, I promise Tara were not going anywhere" I said

"I love you"

"Love you too".

Abel's POV
I walked out into the clubhouse shirtless with my ribs all taped up which was insisted by my mother

"You look like shit" Juice said with a laugh

"I feel like shit" I said and sat at the bar beside him

"You, my friend could use a drink!" Juice said and he leaned over and retrieved the Johnny Walker and poured us both a shot I downed mine and held up my glass for another one and he poured me another and I drank that as well then I felt hands on my shoulders and turned my head to see Emily standing there she gave me a warm smile and the reached into her handbag which she had hanging at her side and produced a bottle of tequila from it

"Abel Teller, how would you like to get completely blind drunk with me tonight?" Emily asked 4

"That Darlin' sounds like the best idea you've ever had" I said and leaned forward and kissed her on the mouth, I looked around the clubhouse and noticed that it was filled with Tacoma Boys, Nomads and SAMCRO alike who all looked like they were settling in for the night complete with booze and I could see the stripper pole being constructed in the corner and noticed Happy setting up he's tattoo gun by the pool table with a scared looking Tacoma Prospect sitting in front of him

"Common lets get out of here" I said and I stood up and took Emily by the hand and led her out to the play ground that we used when we were kids

"I heard what you're Dad's making you do with Jayde" Emily said as we sat on the swings I took a swig of my drink

"Yeah? I suppose you're happy about it?" I asked her passing her the bottle

"Of course not! Abel seeing you in pain would never make me happy" She said I nodded "Just tell me this Abel, why is she so special? What is it about her that you want so much?" Emily asked

I thought about it for a while but in the end just shook my head "You wouldn't understand" I said Emily let out a chuckle and smiled at me

"You're right I probably wouldn't" She said and took a massive swig of the bottle "Well I might not be Jayde and you might care about her more than me, But I promise you Abel I will make you forget her" She said then she stood up and walked towards me she stopped before me looked me in the eye and removed her shirt before she crushed her lips to mine.

THE FOLLOWING MORNING….

Jayde's POV

I woke and looked around my father's hotel room through bleary eyes, and checked he's bed which was unslept in, worry crept into my thoughts as they flashed back to yesterday. After Abel left my father had explained to me he's history with SAMCRO! I was furious to say the least Abel must have known when he spoke to me yesterday that's why he reacted to my dad the way he did,

The door to the room swung open and in stormed my father rage rolling off him

"Dad?" I asked looking at him curiously and a little afraid as I stood up crossing my arms over my chest

"WHAT?" He yelled at me

"Are you okay? I was worried when you didn't come home" I asked as calmly as I could

"NO! you stupid Bitch your little boyfriend almost killed me today!" He screamed back at me I always knew my Dad had rages sometimes when I was younger my mum would send us to stay with my Grandma and when we'd get back she'd have bruises over her face and body

"Abel wouldn't do that!" I said my voice getting defensive

"OF COURSE YOU'D DEFEND 'THE PRINCE' OVER YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD YOU WHORE, YOU ARE NOT TO SEE HIM AGAIN!" My Dad yelled at me again and before I knew to dodge or duck or whichever my father did the one thing I never thought he would he brought he's hand down hard across my face I fell to the floor and tasted blood in my mouth, I looked up at my Dad through tears and seen regret and surprise on he's own features

"Jayde, Baby I'm sorry" He started to say I just shook my head and held up my hand I stood and tentatively touched the spot where he hit me and immediately winced I crossed the room and grabbed my over night bag and headed for the door, There was only one person I needed right now and it was the only person I was forbidden to. I needed Abel.

Abel's POV

I woke with Emily wrapped in my arms in the apartment of the clubhouse I stretched out and yawned wincing at my sore ribs and felt Emily stir beside me

"Morning," I said wincing as my own voice made my head throb which meant that last night was coming back to bite me in the ass leaving me with a hangover of all hangovers, I tried to think back to last night and how much we'd had to drink but it was all a bit of a blur I couldn't remember anything after we left the play area including any memory of coming inside or going to bed but my guess was more booze was consumed and in high amounts,

"Oh god, is it just me or is it extremely bright in here" She said wincing against the dim apartment

"I'm glad I'm not the only one with a hangover" I said with a grin she gave me a small smile back before reaching up and massaging her temple

"Ugh, I'm never drinking again! I'm gonna take a shower" She said standing up

"Whatever" I said and leaned back and closed my eyes again when I heard the bathroom door shut I figured I may as well get up and find an aspirin before this headache became a permanent fixture in my day I gingerly stood up trying to ignore the head spins stretching I hobbled towards the mirror and stood infront of it pulling my shirt over my head to check on my bruises from the bullet wounds yesterday when something on the inside of my Bi-cep caught my eye and when I lifted my arm to look at it my heart stopped in my chest

"WHAT THE FUCK!" I shouted on the inside of my Bicep was Emily written in script

"JESUS! OH SHIT OH SHIT! ABEL!" I heard Emily yelling from the bathroom I walked over and opened the door Emily had her back to the mirror standing only in her underwear and was twisted around looking at her reflect on the small of her back sat a crow with Abel written underneath

"Oh shit you too?" I said and Emily looked close to tears

"What do you mean me too?" Emily said I held my arm out so that she could see

"What the hell were we thinking Abel?" Emily yelled

"I don't even remember getting these okay?" I shouted back

"my mother is going to kill me" Emily said looking at her lower back again

"She won't get a chance my mother will kill us both!" I said and sat on the edge of the bathtub running my hands through my hair Emily sighed and leant against the basin covering her chest, after a few moments when we had both calmed down and had another look at my arm it was definitely Happy's work at least it looked professionally done

"Well as far as tattoos go at least they actually look good" Emily said a small smile on her face

"thank god for that" I said then stood up and walked over wrapping her in a hug because it looked like she needed it "Well you always wanted a crow anyway, right?" I asked her

"Yeah, for my Dad ya know?" she said

"Well now you've got it, and a permanent reminder of me" I said and rubbed her upper back soothingly

"Come on let's go find Happy and see If it's okay that we actually shower with these" I said and passed Emily her T'shirt she had abandoned on the floor she slipped it on and tied it at the front so it turned to a crop top and then she pulled on a pair of short shorts and we walked hand and hand back out into the club house I heard my cell from ring on the bedside table as we walked passed it but chose to ignore it as it was most likely my mother calling to check on me. I couldn't have been more wrong.
