MissTeller-Ortiz-Dixon: Thanks for the review :):) Let's face it, Juice isn't the brightest guy... It's gonna take a moment for him to actually admit his feeling and for them to hook up. And Letti is stubborn like the rest of her family, don't think she's gonna be telling anyone about her stalker/ex anytime soon... But I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far :):)
tryingtowritesomething: Thank you for the review, I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Oh, and don't worry, I won't abandon the story, I've actually written the stories up to season five, and am working on six ;)
lennon9091: Once again, thank you for the review! I'm not a hundred percent sure if/when Letti let's Juice back in, but I'm on your side! Love them together :P
Okay, people, I have a confession to make... Out of all the seasons I wrote for Letti's SOA story, this was my least fave season. Don't know why, but it just was. So if things drag along, don't make sense, or just suck, bare with me. It gets better, I promise!

I walked into the garage office, sitting at the desk and getting to work. I had to get as much done as possible before going to check up on Caracara. I hadn't been there for the week, and I was staring to get fidgety, not knowing how things were going. It was weird how attached I was becoming to that business. I didn't like a few of the girls- especially Ima- but I had always liked Luann, and Bobby was there at times which was nice. Some of the other guys dropped in every once in a while. But what I liked about it the most was the fact I was branching out and doing my own thing.
"Letti!"
I looked out the door, seeing Ope talking to Lyla, one of Luann's girls. I got up, walking over to them. "What's up?" I asked Opie.
He nodded to Lyla. "Think you can drive Lyla to Caracara? She needs a lift."
I nodded. "I'll just go grab my keys from the office." I smiled at her, turning around and quickly heading over to grab my keys before moving to my car, Lyla and her son right behind me. "School first?" I guessed, seeing the little boy.
She nodded as the three of us climbed into my car. "Yeah, if that's okay..."
I shrugged. "No problem at all." looking over at her son who sat in the back seat, I gave him a sweet smile. "I'm Scarlett."
"My name's Piper." he smiled back.
With introductions done, I turned the car on. "Let's go."
...
We had dropped Piper off at school leaving Lyla and I alone. We'd been driving for a few minutes no, and the whole time we hadn't said a word. We hadn't really spoken before, but I'd seen her around the studio. I recognised her as the girl Luann had been with at the hospital. Honestly, there was no reason for me not to like the girl, and it wasn't that I did, I just didn't know her, which left a heavy tension sitting between us, and I just couldn't stand it.
But before I could say anything, she beat me to it. "Why are you being so nice to me?"
I was shocked, maybe even a little offended. As far as I knew, I'd never been mean to any of the girls, so what made her think me being nice was weird? "I don't know..." I shrugged. "Do you want me to be mean? I can do that for you, if you want." turning to her for a moment, I gave a quick grin to let her know I was joking.
But she didn't return the grin, instead she just shook her head and looked out at the road ahead. "See, that there. Why aren't you saying crap about how I'm a porn-star, or a slut, or something? Everyone else does."
"Do I look like everyone else?" I asked, my grin falling as I turned to the road as well. "Look, I don't know if you know this, seeing as Ima doesn't, but I'm actually Jax's sister. Being judged for the people I'm associated with and what I do... It happens to me too. A lot. So I'm not gonna start judging you, when I don't even know you. That is what I call, a dick move."
There was a pause as she processed what I'd just said, but out of it all, there was one thing that had stood out. "You're Jax's sister? Gemma's daughter? A Teller? I just... I mean... I just thought..."
"You thought I was just some porn producer? There to push girls around and be bossy?"
"Well... yeah." she admitted. "Not that you've been bossy. You've actually been pretty nice around the studio. I just thought that Luann had taken you in or something. That you were one of those girls that hangs around the club."
I laughed, shaking my head. "No, that's not it at all."
"So... If you're Jax's sister, what are you doing with Luann? I'm surprised he's letting you work with her."
"Firstly, Jax doesn't have a say in what I do. I may be his sister and he may be part of a biker club, but I am my own person and I do what I want. Secondly, Luann is family. She needed help, I had nothing better to do." I shrugged. "And I don't actually mind the porn. It's interesting to say the least." I looked over at her again, grinning.
Finally, she laughed. "Keeps the Samcro boys happy when they come over to visit." she noted. "Especially the Scottish one and that cute guy with the really short mohawk."
I tensed. "You mean Chibs and Juice?"
"Yeah." she smiled. "They come over and check up on Bobby and everything. Ima's actually got her eyes on Juice now, seeing as Jax is with the doctor. Saw the two of them getting pretty close at the party."
Nodding stiffly, I shifted in my seat, my grip on the steering wheel tightening. "Great. Good for her." I suddenly wanted this car ride to be in silence again.
...
I was driving down the street, heading for Teller-Morrow, when I spotted Tara's car parked outside the pharmacy. Turning, I decided to stop and talk to her, needing to get some stuff off my chest and knowing she'd let me rant about anything I needed. That was the best thing about having a best friend, I knew that I could tell her everything and anything, and there would be no judgment. I knew she wouldn't run off and go tell every one. It would just be between her and me.
As I got out of the car and started to cross the parking lot, I paused for the briefest moment, seeing her walk out of the pharmacy... with my mum. "Great." I sighed, knowing my rant would have to be put on hold.
Continuing on, I reached them just as mum turned to me, smiling. "Hey, sweetheart. What are you doing here? Everything okay?"
I nodded, kissing her cheek. "Just saw Tara's car, thought I might stop and say hi."
Turning my smile to Tara, I was about to speak when I felt mum tense beside me. I turned to see what was wrong, seeing her looking out at the parking lot. Following her gaze, I got sight of a young blond girl working on the engine of some green mini van. The girl pushed the hood down and started walking off but froze when her eyes landed on mum.
"Mum? Who is she?" I asked
But instead of answering, mum started to slowly take steps towards the girl.
Tara came to stand by me, the two of us watching. "Gemma?"
Suddenly the girl ran off. Mum didn't even hesitate before she started after her, running as fast as she could to catch whoever this girl was.
"Shit." I grabbed Tara's hand. "Come on!" I yelled, going after mum and the blonde. I watched as the blonde got into a car, the guy dressed in a white shirt who'd come to the garage with Zobelle- the guy dressed in the suit- the other night. I came to a screeching hault at the sight of him, knowing better than to play with a fire I was sure would burn. "Son of a bitch."
Unlike me, though, Tara didn't stop. She stepped closer to mum- who had also stopped when she'd spotted Zobelle's guy. Reaching for her, Tara placed a hand on mum's shoulder, startling her. Reacting without thinking, mum's elbow flung back, getting Tara right in the nose.
Tara stumbled, holding her hand to her nose as it began to bleed.
Spinning around, mum looked to Tara with obvious guilt in her eyes. "Oh, shit. I'm so sorry." she apologized.
"Jesus Christ!" Tara exclaimed.
I stepped towards the two of them, helping Tara stand straight as I gave her nose a quick look over. "We should get her to the hospital, make sure she's all good. Mum, you should call Jax... Let him know."
"Yeah. Okay." mum nodded. But instead of following us, I watched as she turned to look for the car or any sign of the girl or guy. They were long gone.
"Come on mum. We'll deal with it later." I promised before heading back to the cars.
...
I sat with mum in the hospital chapel, as we waited for Tara to come back after getting her nose fixed up.
I sighed, tired of waiting. "So, the girl... who was she?"
Mum didn't even dance around the subject, just answered me straight up. "Told me her baby had choked on something. It was a damned doll. She hit me over the head and next thing I knew I woke up chained to a fence, before three guys raped me." her voice was laced with hate.
I nodded, feeling anger build inside me. "Okay."
Her head whipped around to look at me. "Letti, don't do anything stupid."
I shrugged. "I'll take care of her mum, don't worry. The bitch will get what she deserves."
...
After spending the day doing small errands for mum and the club- while also trying to see if that girl mum chased was anywhere- I decided to head back to the clubhouse. I wanted to change into something more comfortable and just relax for the rest of the day. After all the drama with mum, and Donna, and my ex and Juice. After all the stress with Caracara and everything else. I really just wanted to sleep
Parking my car, I got out and headed over to where Jax and Tara sat at one of the tables out side the club house. As I headed to my brother, I looked over at Chibs, seeing him by the garage, getting a mini van ready to have some work done on it- the details I wasn't so sure about. But there was something about that van... something that looked familiar...
"Hey, have you guys seen that van before?" I asked Jax and Tara, still staring at the mentioned vehicle.
"Looks like every other minivan we get in here." Jax noted. "Why?"
"I don't know." I sighed, frowning as I tired to remember where I'd seen it. "What about you Tara?"
She looked over at the van, thinking for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, I think I might have seen it before."
It took a moment or two extra, but suddenly, it came to me. That girl mum had chased had been working under it's hood, and now it was in our shop...
Dropping my bag, I ran as fast as I could, heading towards the van and Chibs as he got into the driver's seat. "Chibs! No!" I yelled, desperate and scared. "Get out of there! Chibs, get out!"
Looking up at me, Chibs turned the keys in the ignition right before his eyes went wide. "Shit!" he jumped out of the car, running from it and towards me. "Get down! Letti, get-"
Before he could finish, before I could do as he said, the car exploded. I was pushed back and down, hard. My head hit throbbed at it hit the ground. My body ached as it scrapped along the parking lot as I landed. My ears began to ring, my head dizzy. Pain shot through me. Everything hurt. But I pushed through it as I looked over, seeing Chibs lying on the floor, unmoving.
Forcing myself to move, I dragged myself over to him. "Chibs?" tears began to run down my cheeks. "Chibs?!"
"Chibs! Scar!"
"Scarlett! Chibs!"
"Chibs!"
"Letti!"
Ignoring the calls, I reached out for Chibs, grabbing his hand. "Shit. Oh, no, no, no. Not you." the tears poured down my face as he just laid there. "No. No, no, no. Help! Help! Tara!"
A second later, Jax knelt beside me, looking down to see how bad Chibs was. It was bad. "Tara!"
She was there in an instant, kneeling on the floor, pushing Jax out of the way as she started to check Chibs for a heart beat. I was shaking, watching the blood ooze out of his head, tears running down my face.
"Shit. Letti." I looked up at Ope as he knelt by me, looking at me, lifting a hand to my head. As he pulled away, I saw blood. "She's bleeding, Tara."
Tara looked up at me, but I shook my head, despite the pain. "Help Chibs. Don't worry about me."
"They need to get to the hospital." Tara looked up at Clay.
Jax nodded. "I'm calling 9-1-1 now." he said, pulling his phone out and stepping back.
I went to move closer to Chibs, but my limbs felt so heavy, my head spinning. I felt myself falling to the ground from where I sat. The world turning, everything aching. I couldn't even keep myself up any more.
But before I felt the hard surface, hands grabbed me, keeping me steady. "Hold on, Scarlett. We're getting help." Juice craddled me gentle, his voice the last thing I heard before everything went black.
