PLEASE REVIEW =]

I OWN NOTHING.

"Tara, I'm taking you to school, is that alright with you?"

"Yea dad, sure" I hated Mondays, why did my dad want to take me to school. We got in the car and was on our way.

"Excited for school today?" he wasn't good at small talk either

"No"

"Learn anything interesting lately?"

"No"

"Read any.."

I cut him off "dad what is the point of this, you've never taken me to school, your hardly sober and when you are, you act as if nothing happened, so what's the point"

"Tara that's enough, I know I haven't.."

"Haven't what? Been a dad? No you haven't! You can't expect me to sit here, put on a smile and act as if the last couple of months didn't happen, you weren't the only one hurting, she was my mom, I lost someone too but I didn't just drink my problems away. I dealt with it, faced to face like a human while you act like a coward" I was hysterically in tears by now and perfect timing we were now in front of school. "Now excuse me, I have to go to school now" I got out the car. I slammed the door and kept walking, wiping away my tears. Someone came behind me and kissed my neck.

"Hey darling" I was in no mood to deal with Jax

He stopped in front of me and the looked over my shoulder.

"Is he the reason your crying" his fist started to curl up.

"No, not just him, you!"

"Me? What did I do?"

"God I feel so stupid, to think you actually loved me, how could I have been so naive"

"Tara you got this all wrong"

"Oh yea? I got this all wrong?"

"Yea, I do love you"

"So what was up with yesterday, you just hit it and quite it, I bet that was your plan all this time wasn't it? Do you even love me, or was I just another girls you could fuck with?"

"No, I mean yes, Tara I love you"

"Jax, cut the crap, we're done, I'm done" I walked away and went to class.

I knew I wasn't going to see him in English but when he didn't show up in Shop too one part me started to worry. I didn't see Cherry either which made me think they were together, skipping.

Oh great now it was time for Gym, I started dressing out.

"Hey girl" Cherry said walking over to our lockers

"Where have you been?"

"With Opie, I wanted to get back so hang out with you"

"What happened to you at the party?"

"Which party?"

"The one after the fair"

"Oh that party, I was hoping you wouldn't remember"

"I do, so what happened"

"I just had a bad trip okay, no big deal, anyways.."

"No big deal! Cherry you looked like you were dying. Why didn't you tell me you had an addiction problem?"

"That bitch! She was so quick to tell you huh. You want to know the reason why I didn't tell you?"

I looked at her

"It's because I didn't want you judging me. I liked the fact that you didn't know a lot of people in Charming. I like the fact that they couldn't air out my dirty laundry to you. I liked the fact that when you looked at me, you didn't see Cherry the druggie but Cherry your new best friend! So I'm sorry if for once I didn't want someone judging me!"

She wanted my sympathy but she wasn't going to get it. "Well I'm sorry if you feel that way but you still lied to me and that doesn't just slid." I was being a bitch but with everything going on with my dad, Jax and now Cherry, I needed to develop thick skin.

"Your just like her!" She walked off crying and I moved on with my day.

The next day, school flew past like a breeze. I hadn't heard anything from Jax or Cherry and as for my dad, he was too drunk to function.

I went home and started my homework. My phone rang. It was and unknown number and I just knew I shouldn't have picked up but for some reason I did.

"Hello?"

"Tara it's Gemma have you seen Jax? No one has heard from him since yesterday morning"

"No I haven't"

"Well can you try calling him, we're all worried, maybe he will pick up if he sees you calling"

Someone took the phone from Gemma.

"Hey Tara it's Clay, can you help us find him, we just want to know what happened, he sort of just dropped of the face of the earth"

"Yea sure, I'll tell you if I have any luck"

"Thanks, bye"

"Bye"

I called but it went straight to voice mail, not a good sign. Even though my head was mad at him, my heart ached for him, I had to find him. I went to the first place that popped in my head. I snuck out the house and took my dad's Cutlass.

"I knew you would be here" I said walking up to him, he was sitting under the tree where we had our first kiss.

"How did you find me"

"Wild guess" I sat down next to him. "Gemma is worried about you"

"When is Gemma not worried about me"

"Good point"

"How was school" he asked

"Well you would of known if you showed up"

"Starting to think this whole school thing isn't for me"

"Jax don't say that"

"Tara can you even picture me out of the club, doing something productive with my life, that's not me."

"I didn't say that was you"

"Why are you here?"

"Because"

"Because what? Tara I care about you and you threw it right back at me"

"Jax you left me, what was I suppose to think?"

"You were suppose to trust me, trust that I would be back, trust that I didn't just want sex from you, trust that I loved you and I still do"

"So what were you really up to that night and don't lie to me"

"God Tara do you hear yourself? I was with the club, we had to handle some business"

"That's all your going to tell me?"

"That's all you need to know"

"Jax you can't blow me off for the club"

"You expect me to choose between you and the club? I'm not going to do that"

"You don't have to, I'm leaving" I got up and started walking

He got up and followed. "For a smart person your really dumb you know that! Did you just hear what I just said, I love you, I love the club and I refuse to choose between the two."

I stopped and looked up at him. It was hard to stay mad at him. I was being selfish and looking into his eyes, I saw no lies. "I'm sorry, I just freaked when I didn't hear from you, I thought that everyone knew something I didn't and I don't know, I just panicked. I love you Jax."

We kissed.

"I guess we should go back now"

He smiled "Or we could stay here and hide out together"

"Tempting but Gemma's worried"

He laughed and put his arm around me "since when did you care about my mom"

"Shut up"
