I OWN NOTHING.

Charming- 1999

"Tara let's go!" Cherry yelled from her car

"I'm coming!"

I opened her car door

"Who's car is this?" I asked. Cherry usually borrowed her moms old station wagon but today she picked me up in a brand new Ford.

"A friend" She said driving of to school

"A friend? And who might this generous friend be?"

"Does it matter"

"You stole it didn't you"

"I borrowed it Tara"

"Borrowed?"

"Geese Tara chill out with the third degree, some might call it stealing but I'm calling it borrowing, I will return it so chill, please" she said looking for a lighter for her cigarette. "You got a lighter?"

I didn't want to argue today, I couldn't wait to show her the tattoo and I didn't want to mess up the moment. " No"

"Can you look inside my bag"

I looked and found it and a bag with two needles in it. I gave her the lighter. "You just couldn't say away could you"

"What? What are you talking about?" she asked

"I saw the needles in your bag"

"Okay"

"I thought you were going to stop"

"When did I say that?"

"You need to start taking better care of yourself"

"Fuck, can you get off my back!"

"Fine! Speaking of backs, look what I got yesterday" I turned, and showed her my tattoo.

"Oh My God Tara This Is Big!" she let go off the wheel to get a better look and the car swerved. We noticed and both grabbed the wheel.

"Cherry!" I laughed

She pulled over to the side of the road.

"Tara this is serious!"

"I know, so do you like it?"

"It's great! Did Jax see it? What does he think about it?"

"He was with me and he loves it"

She hugged me.

"I'm so happy for you!" she said

"Thanks"

"So you know what this means, right"

"What?"

"We got to go lingerie shopping!"

"No no no, your going overboard"

She started the car.

"We shouldn't go to school, lets go shopping instead"

"No, I'm missing too many days of school"

"I guess we're going after school then" she said pulling into school.

Report cards came out today. How I manage to maintain a B in all my classes was beyond shocking. Cherry left school early so I walked to the clubhouse.

I saw the Gemma's office door was slightly open and went to go pay her a visit.

"Hey" I knocked, standing at the door.

"Hey baby, is there something I could help you with?"

"I got my report card today, picked up Jax's too" I gave them to her.

She took Jax's first "do I even want to look?" she started open it

"Probably not" he had 3 D's, 2 B's, 1 A and 1 F. The A was in Shop and one of the B's was in Math.

"Ha! Well look at that."

She had to be kidding me. She picked up mine.

"This is good, you know, considering the fact that you haven't been.

"Thanks"

"What's new?"

"What?" I asked

"Tattoo?"

"Oh, yea" I showed her

"Looks good"

"Thanks, I got to start my homework, see you later" Gemma had a way about finding how about any and everything.

"Okay baby"

I finished my homework around seven. Gemma walked in my room

"Hey, I'm going to get dinner, you want to join me?" she asked

"Yea, sure"

I got up and walked with her to her car. "You heard from Jax?"

"Yea, he called me about an hour ago"

I was silent. He hadn't call me.

"You haven't heard from him"

"Maybe he's just busy" I said trying to be hopeful.

"Maybe"

We ordered food. I couldn't stop thinking about him. Why didn't he call me? I kept my head down hopelessly spinning the ice in my cup with my straw.

"Something on your mind" she waved her hand in front of my face to break my concentration. "Hello, anyone in there?" she started snapping her fingers

"Oh sorry, just got a lot on my mind"

"Let me guess, my son"

I nodded "I'm that obvious, huh"

"Don't worry about it, he'll call"

The waitress brought our food.

Two weeks later and still nothing. Everyone seemed to get a phone call from Jax but me. Was he mad at me? Did I do something wrong?
