PLEASE REVIEW =]

I OWN NOTHING.

They brought out a cake and I blew out the candles. The entire time I was looking around the room for Jax.

He wasn't there. Gemma gave me the first piece, I took it.

"Hey, I'm going to go outside for some air okay" I said to Eddy

"You want me to come with you?"

"No, stay enjoy the party"

I left and went outside. I spotted Jax over by the garage with his bike. He saw me and got on it. I stood in front of it.

"Tara!"

"Jax!"

He turned of his bike.

"What do you want?" yelled

"To talk"

"Why don't you go talk to your boyfriend in there"

"Don't be that way, your the one who said we were on a break! I don't even know why your mad?"

"Are you kidding me! You wanted this break. I wanted to make you happy so I agreed! You wanted this not me!"

Although I was the first one to talk about taking a break, I really didn't want to. All those times talking with Gemma, I kind of got scared and thought that it was for the best. I hoped Jax wouldn't consider it, but he did. This was all my fault. I wished I kept my big mouth shut.

I stood there in tears. "Well I'm not happy"

"Tara, don't cry. Not on your birthday"

"Jax, I'm sorry. I love you"

"So dump him!" he yelled

"I can't! It's not that simple"

"What you mean it's not that simple? You love him don't you?"

I was actually starting to like Eddy and I didn't want to hurt him "Jax"

"You do!"

"I don't know! Maybe"

He walked up close to me and kissed me passionately "You think about that next time he kisses you and you make your choice" he walked back inside the clubhouse.

I walked in after him then walked over to Eddy sitting in a corner.

"There you are!" he said to me

"Yea, here I am" I smiled

"You okay?" he said wiping away my tears.

"Yea its just tears of joy"

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you something. Since your single and all, would you be my girlfriend?"

I smiled and nodded. I heard some chicks laughing over by the bar and saw Jax, he looked at me. This was my time.

I pulled Eddy close and kissed him. There were a few people who stared at us. This was meant for Jax to see.

Eddy was a good kisser but not as good as Jax, this disappointed me.

Jax knew why I kissed him and after he saw that I stayed by his side he grabbed one of the girls and kissed them. I was furious.

"Hey, I don't mean to interrupt but I need a word with the birthday girl, in private" Gemma said

We walked over to the back room.

"What Gemma?" I walked in the room

She closed the door "Listen I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Jax but how the hell was I suppose to know you were dating. The only time you ever picked up a phone was if I called you and even then you said nothing to me"

"Wow, it amuses me how you can turn the entire situation around to make yourself look like the victim"

"This ain't about being the victim, you and Jax are meant to be together, you can't let this Edwin guy mess that up"

"His name is Eddy!"

"Big whoop!"

"Gemma you were the main one routing against us"

"Yea at first, but your like the daughter I never wanted but turn out to care about"

"Is that suppose to be comforting?" I headed for the door.

She stood in front of it "Just promise me you won't do nothing stupid"

"Can I get back to my party?"

She stepped aside to let me threw.

I saw Eddy.

"Hey, everything okay?"

"Better now" I kissed him "I'm tired, can you take me home?"

"Yea"

"Okay, let me just say bye to a few people" I said bye to everyone then saw Jax with a few whores. As I walked up to him, they walked away. I laughed, they probably thought I was about to hit them like I hit Alexis.

"Hey, I'm leaving" I said to him

"Should I care?"

"Call me later" he looked away from me, I turned his head back in my direction "Jax"

"Yea, we'll see"

I got home and walked inside my house, I haven't seen my dad all day. I went in my room and turned on the lights.

"Oh My God! What are you doing here?" I jumped.

Cherry was sitting on my bed.

"I couldn't let us end the night like that" she said

"Cherry I just want to sleep"

"Hear me out. Jax was in Belfast, so was Clay. I found out they came back when I called Gemma at the salon. They called her and said they were almost in Charming, we thought we should surprise you. Please don't be mad at me Tara"

"I'm not, I was just in an awkward position that's all. and if you don't mind I would love to have the bracelet you got me back."

She smiled and put the bracelet on my wrist.

I fell back on my bed.

"Don't sleep, you still got one more present to open" she swung the red bag in my face.

I sat up and took the bag from her. "Who's it from?"

"Luanne"

"Luanne got me a birthday present? I wonder what it could be"

"Yea, just open it"

I opened it and found a skimpy pair of lingerie, a whip and stripper heels. "What the hell is this?"

Cherry laughed "We all thought you and Jax would like it"

"Yea, well what about Eddy? I'm pretty sure something like this might freak him out"

"Well that's cause it's not meant for him. I have a feeling you and Jax are going to work things out and when you do, you can use this"

"Cherry I think it's going to be a while for me to completely process this much less wear it"

"Still, keep it. Its brand new, expensive too and you can have fun in it"

"Fine, I'll keep it"

She hugged me "Great!"

"Why are you so happy, it's not like I'm going to use it on you"

"Oh shut up! I'm leaving"

"Okay, bye"

Jax didn't call that night.
