Chapter 3

Tara knew where she needed to go. She made it to the back of the building and saw Drew and her face lit up. He was the one who helped her get threw the toughest days. Drew transferred to the Charming Charter a few months after Jaxs left. They were just friends at first, but the closer they grew the harder it was to denie the attraction they had for one another. No one could know Drew hated it, but he accepted it. He knew the mess it would cause everyone was so protective of those girls and Tara. He would be thrown out before they even had a real shot. He accepted he secrete dates for now.

"Who you running from the big bad wolf" Drew joked

"Now why do I have to be running from someone, I could just be running too you" Tara said with a smile. Drew made her fell alive aging not like she was some fragile thing like everyone else. He was there at a time when she needed someone. He listened to her pregnancy rage, her ever so changing hormones. He reminded her of what she wanted in life to have someone and give them your all; the good the bad and everything in between.

"Well then don't stop" Drew taunted as he grabbed Tara and shoved her up against the wall. He pulled her close and there lips did an all too familiar dance. Tara wasn't sure what she had with Drew, but it was better than being alone. Drew never asked what happened between her and Jaxs, but he knew it was more complicated than Tara let on. He knew with Jaxs coming back it would open old wounds for her and all he wanted to do is protect Tara

"How did it go" Drew asked. She knew what he really meant was this over. She didn't want this to end, but the truth was bound to come out sooner or later. Tara wasn't sure what to do anymore. She always had a plan for everything, but this time was different. This was a dangerous game she never intended to play. She cared for Drew, but she loved Jaxs.

"It didn't I couldn't_" Tara couldn't even come up with the words to explain the nothing that happened. She ran like a coward. She was no coward though and the time would come very soon where she would have to stand alone aging.

Drew didn't say anything he knew their time was coming to an end the moment he herd Jackson was coming back. She had kids with him and he understood that game more than he liked to admit. He wasn't to let Tara get hurt.

"Ive got to go get to the girls" Tara noted she just wanted to get out of here before Jaxs tracked her down

"Call me" Drew said sadly as Tara walked off

As Jaxs watched them it broke his heart. He didn't think she would go looking for someone else to find comfort in, but he was wrong and he hated it. Who were these girls she mentioned ? He wondered ; Did she have kids? The questions were endless and he was going to get answers.

Jaxs went to find Opie and find out who this new guy was he was in the circle secretly shacking up with Tara. If anyone knew they would have warned the new guy to stay away his girl, but the truth was she wasn't his anymore. It was a hard truth that jaxs refused to accept.

Opie and Donna took advantage of there alone time since it happened less and less recently lily changed everything for them in a good way. Opie loved the fact he was a father Donna made everything a little brighter for him. They didn't even hear Jaxs walk up they were entranced in one another's mouths.

"Looks like some things never change" Jaxs snickered at them going at it like they were still in high school. Sometimes it bewildered jaxs that Opie and Tara were twins. Tara was so focused and obsessive at times but a hard ass just like Opie.

"Well some of us don't let a good thing go" Donna snickered; Donna would always be on Tara's side she saw how hard it was on Tara doing everything alone. She didn't deserve to be a single parent. He chose the club over his family and if Opie ever did that she wasn't sure how she could handle it.

"I didn't have a choice" Jaxs remarked

"You keep telling yourself that lie, but we all know the truth you ran and stayed gone as long as you could. Your pathetic she deserved better." Donna stated; Donna wasn't the type to back down. She had a smart mouth and wasn't afraid to use it. That was one of the things Opie loved about her.

"Opie you gonna get ya girl" Jaxs remarked. Jaxs wasn't about fighting he wanted answers now and he wasn't about to play some fighting game with Donna and waste time.

"I'm staying out of this" Opie said smiling he knew better than to get on Donnas bad side she could be very scary when she wanted to be

"who's the new guy" Jaxs question gesturing to the guy he saw Tara with he needed to know who he was what kind of competition he was up against. He was going to get her back some way some how.

"That's Drew Killian he transferred not long after you left" Opie remarked

"So you figured it out that fast" Donna remarked Donna knew for a while she was going over there one day and saw them in the window she kept her mouth shut about it. She only told Opie

"Donna" Opie warned he knew Jaxs would go to her cause a scene and it would only get worse once he found out about the babies. Opie had to protect his little sister

"How long" Jaxs asked he needed to know everything

"Jaxs leave it be. You left. You don't get to A judge on what she has done. Tara is her own person and you cant barge in after two years. You lost that privilege when you chose to leave because unlike them I know the truth you volunteered you were never forced to go" Opie remarked. Opie never understood it Jaxs volunteered to go away he could have backed out at anytime. It hurt his sister more than she would like to admit.

"Your cant keep me from her" Jaxs said storming off. He wasn't about to be told what to do he was fucking Jackson Teller and he had the control he was going to talk to the one this was all about he needed answers and no one could give him the answers he needed but her.

The got on his bike and took an all too familiar ride to the house they spent the their last few days together at it looked the same. Luanne built two houses about a half an acer on each side of hers one for Tara and one for Opie so they had their own space it was like looking into the past for Jackson. He didn't know if he would ever see this place aging.

He saw shadows in the windows. Eventually he got the courage to go knock on the door. Tara was the only girl that ever made him question himself.

He door swung open and his girl stood there like an angle he missed. He longed for her all this time that smile and she was right there aging.

"Hey" Tara said softly as she closed the door as she stepped outside
