PLEASE REVIEW =]

I OWN NOTHING.

I followed Jax to the garage.

"Thank God" Gemma said walking out the office to hug Jax. She hit him "don't ever pull something like that again, you spoke to Clay?"

"No, he inside?"

"Yea"

"Alright, Tara I'll be right back" he walked over to the clubhouse.

"Were did you find him?"

"Does it matter?"

"Future references, your dad doesn't mind you taking his car"

I looked behind me to the Cutlass

"Naw he's a little bit occupied at the moment"

"They usually are"

"What?"

"People with an addiction, Cherry to drugs and Tommy to alcohol"

"How did you know his name"

"The factory is on SAMCRO's payroll, I did a little research"

"Research?"

"Yea, had to make sure you were good enough for my son."

"And? What does my father have to do with me and Jax's relationship?"

"That makeup might fool your little friends but I see right threw it. Your scared of him, and with good reasons too. Addicts aren't the most reliable people. You need to handle that before Jax does."

"Sounds like you know a lot about this"

"Baby, I've seen them all. Can't say I didn't warn you. The moment Jax loses it to protect you, the moment it becomes a club issue and that's something we both don't want, trust me."

"What do I do?"

"Stay out of his way, once he hits you, play dead, fighting back only makes things worse."

"And if I can't?"

"Then it'll be a bloody war with you standing dead center in the middle of it."

"Thanks for the advice"

"Come on, I need a beer"

I walked with her into the clubhouse.

"Hey I was just about to come get you" Jax said

"Oh don't worry about it, look, I got to get home so I'll see you tomorrow"

"Kay" he kissed me "I love you"

"I love you too, bye Gemma"

"Bye baby" she said taking a sip of her drink, I left

About a half mile from my house Cherry called my cell.

"Tara, I need you. Can you meet me. Please, its important." she gave me the address to where I should meet her. I got there and stepped out of the car. She walked up to me.

I looked around "What are we going here?"

"I didn't think you would come"

"Cherry"

"Why am I here"

"To talk"

"About"

"Jesus Tara could you be any less of a bitch?"

"I'm leaving"

"Fine!"

I called Jax when I got home and told him what happened

"So you didn't get a chance to find out why she called you?"

"Jax weren't you listening? She called me a bitch, I left"

"You should of heard her out Tara"

"Why should I?"

"Cherry's not the most stable minded person, that could of set her off"

"Your taking her side!"

"Tara I not taking any sides and even if was you know it would be yours"

"Yea, I'm sure of that" I said sarcastically " I'm going to bed, goodnight" I hung up before he said anything. Later that night I woke up to someone knocking on my window. I went to the window and opened it.

"Hey there darling" Jax said

"Oh it's you" I said rolling my eyes and walking back to my bed.

"So what, you got other men sneaking in your room"

"And if I did?"

"Could of sworn I was your one and only prince charming"

"I'm sorry, I tend to be a little grumpy waking up at this time of the night" I said getting under the covers"

"Don't worry about it, sorry for coming so late but I got to head out with the club tomorrow and wasn't sure if I would get a chance to see you."

I smiled, he walked over to me and got on top of me as we started making out.

My clothes started coming off, I pulled off his shirt and tried to unbuckle his belt.

The door flew open and I saw my father fire gun shots. Jax pushed us of the bed, rolling to the floor, I screamed. Jax then got up and tried to take down my dad, being that he was drunk and had no aim. I called out to Jax.

They started wrestling on the ground. My father struggled under him so Jax couldn't get the gun. I cried out, "Jax stop! Jax!"

Jax looked up at me and my father took this as an opportunity to shoot.

The bullet hit him in the arm. It was as if everything slowed down. Jax reacted quick and knocked the gun out of his arm with his other hand hitting him repeatedly. My dad was out cold.

"Jax what are you doing, your hurt!"

He ignored me and dragged my dad in the laundry room, using a chair against the lock so he couldn't get out.

"Jax you can't just leave him in there, your hurt! Jax!"

"Tara what do you expect me to do, he shot me, I should of killed him!" he started to get weak.

"That's it, we need to get you to a hospital, your losing a lot of blood!"

"No!"

"Jax we're not arguing about this, I'm taking you to the hospital!" I helped him into the car and hurried to the hospital.
