PLEASE REVIEW =]

I OWN NOTHING.

LET'S SEE HOW THE REST OF TARA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY PLAYS OUT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. MIGHT UPLOAD THE NEXT CHAPTER TONIGHT! I WONDER WHAT EVERYONE IS GOING TO THINK ABOUT THIS CHAPTER.

Eddy showed up on time. He wore dress pants and a button down shirt.

"Wow you look amazing" he said kissing me on my cheek as he gave me flowers

"Thanks, you don't look have bad yourself. Wait here, I'm going to go put these in some water" I put them in a vase full of water in my room.

We headed to the clubhouse in his car.

We got out the car and I heard music. I made sure to text Cherry before I got to the door. I opened it

"Surprise!" they yelled

I tried to act surprised and they bought it.

I walked in with Eddy holding my hand. As soon as they saw us everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at us. Cherry saw this and ran up to hug me.

She whispered in my ear "Who is that?"

I whispered back "My friend Eddy, I didn't want to go by myself so he's my date."

I felt her exhale heavy, she was worried and she pulled back.

"Hey, I'm Eddy" he extended his hand to her

She gave a fake smile "Cherry" she shook his hand.

"I'm thirsty, let's go get some drinks" I said

"Uh, no I'll get it! Its your birthday, relax. Stay away from the bar." she said nervously

"Cherry is there another present at the bar that you don't want me to see?"

She nodded "Yup. That's it"

I saw her run off and grab Gemma on her way to the bar.

I wanted to follow her but everyone kept coming up to me, hugging and wishing me happy birthday. I couldn't help but notice Gemma and Cherry arguing in the corner.

The clubhouse was packed.

I finally started seeing more familiar faces that I've missed. Opie, Tig, and Bobby came over to me.

"Happy birthday!" they all gave me a group hug causing me to let go of Eddy's arm.

As soon as they were done I grabbed Eddy's arm again.

"I've missed you guys, how was Belfast?" I asked

"Good" Opie said

"Who's the kid?" Tig said pointing at Eddy

"Uhm" I looked at Eddy, I really didn't know if we were official or what. "This is Eddy"

"Eddy?" Bobby said

Eddy reached out his hand to shake theirs. They all looked at him with disgust.

"Yea, Eddy. A friend" I said slowly afraid of their reaction.

"I never seen you in Charming before" Opie said.

I could tell Tig wasn't going to give Eddy a break

"Yea I just moved here" Eddy smiled and said

"What you smiling for?" Tig said

Eddy drew his smile back slightly.

I saw Eddy's face "Okay, where is Cherry with our drinks" Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, I thought.

"Maybe we should go get it ourselves" Eddy said

"Good idea" Tig said putting his hand on Eddy's shoulder "Come on I'll lead the way"

Something wasn't right, and judging by the looks Opie and Bobby had exchanged, showed that they had something to say.

"What's wrong" I looked at them both as we walked to the bar. I turned my back to the bar while Eddy got our drinks and Tig disappeared.

"Nothing" they both said together.

"Here you go Tara" Eddy gave me my drink. I gave them one last look before I took a sip of my drink. I looked up and saw Jax in front of me smiling.

"Jax?" I said in disbelief

"Happy birthday darling" he leaned in to kiss me but I turned my head. I wanted to kiss him but not with Eddy standing right there. Jax had a odd expression on his face as he wondered why I turned my head and dodged his kiss, then he noticed Eddy put his hand on my lower back.

"Oh I see" Jax said. He was pissed and gave Eddy the dirtiest look ever.

I felt like shit.

He stormed off. "Jax!" I called out to him. He ignored me and went outside.

"Who was that?" Eddy asked innocently.

I couldn't speak.

I saw Cherry and Gemma and marched over to them. "You guys knew about this didn't you?"

"About Jax? Yea. Him, that's a different story" Gemma said directing her eyes over to Eddy

"He's not your concern Gemma!" I said looking her in her eyes "and as for you Cherry, I asked you! I specifically asked you if you heard from Jax and you looked me in the eyes and lied to me, and I could of sworn we were BFF's" I took my bracelet off and gave it to her then walked back to Eddy to save him from the 21 intimidating guys that looked like they wanted to kill him. How am I going to get through the rest of the night.
