TARA'S POV

"I hate them" I said to Gemma in the car

"I know you do hunny, we all do"

"I hate myself"

She turned and looked at me

"Jax knew they were no good, he warned me and I didn't listen. Now my dad is, probably dead and we're screwed"

"We're not screwed Tara"

"Gemma, there is nothing we can do. The police can't even stop them"

"There is something we can do"

"Oh yea? What?"

"Fight. Your new to this lifestyle. You don't know half the shit SAMCRO is capable of. Your old man is going to be ok. Eddy and Ernest are no more."

I felt better talking to Gemma.

"So what do we do now? Go home and sit back" I asked

"Hey, I promised you shopping and that's exactly what we're going to do"

We showed up at a store that I've never really seen before.

"Has this always been here?"

"Yea, pretty much"

"I've never been in here" I said walking

"Hard to believe" she said sarcastically

A lady wearing nothing but leather walked up to us. "Hey Gemma, can I help you guys out with anything"

"Tara this is Veronica. Veronica, you know Jax's old lady" Gemma said looking through a rack of clothes

"Yea, I've seen you around a couple of times" Veronica said to me

"Really? To be honest I've never seen you"

"I was at your birthday party, around the bar. You came up to talk to Jax"

"Yea, it's coming back to me now. You're one of the girls flirting with Jax"

Gemma and Veronica laughed

"What's so funny?" I asked

"Let's just say she prefers someone less manly" Gemma laughed

"Still not getting it?"

Veronica laughed and said "Tara, I have a girlfriend. Even if I did go to your birthday party to flirt, it would of been with you, not Jax"

"Oh" I laughed awkwardly. I pretty much got use to the fact that Jax was hot and every girl in Charming wanted him but this threw me off.

Gemma laughed and pulled me in a different direction. "Come on, let's look around"

We saw a black leather corset and a red mini skirt on a manikin. "This looks good"

"Gemma, I am not wearing that"

"What, you scared?" she teased

"No, I just.."

"So try it on!" she shoved the manikin at me "Veronica, she needs to try this on. Help her"

Veronica started walking towards us

"No, I think its fine" I said to Veronica and she stopped walking to us

"What's the matter, never changed in front of anyone other than Jax?" she laughed

"No, I've never changed in front of a girl who has the hots for me!"

"Come on, its not like she's going to try something" she turned to Veronica's direction "Hey toots, we need help over here"

Veronica looked up at us "Are you sure?'

"Gemma" I whispered

"Look, I doubt you can lace this up by yourself so it's either me or her and I got to go out for a smoke in a second so what's your decision" she said crossing her hands

"Fine, anything else you want me to try on while I'm in there?"

"As a matter of fact, yes. Here"

She gave me three other pairs of clothing, each that seemed to be shorter than the other. Then went outside.

Veronica helped me change in the dressing room.

"So how long have you and Jax been together?"

"A while" I didn't feel the need to tell a stranger about me and Jax's relationship

"I just ask because you don't seem like his type"

"His type?" I said putting on the corset

She smiled "Yea. Shy, soft spoken. You know, innocent." she started lacing it up

"You think I'm not his type?" I said with an attitude

"Don't seem to be"

I turned around "You don't know anything about Jax and you surely don't know anything about me" I said putting on the skirt.

"Look, I didn't mean to offend you, it's just.."

"No you look, I'm so sick and tired of girls like you. Thinking they know what Jax wants. Well you know what, he wants me, no one else but me and everyone just has to get use to seeing us together because we're not going no where, got it." I walked out the dressing room and outside to Gemma.

It felt good standing up for myself. "So what you think" I did a little spin to show her the outfit

"What got into you" she asked laughing

"I never knew how much the club could change me but it gave me a voice that I never had before. I can finally stand up for myself. The old Tara would of backed down and started crying but the new Tara wasn't afraid to stand up for herself"

"Veronica said something to you?"

"Yea but it's not even like that. I'm taking your advice. I'm going to fight. Fight to find my dad, fight off these freaking crow eaters, fight who ever stands in the way of me and Jax" I stood proudly

"Glad that I'm finally getting threw to you. Try the pants, I think it'll look better with the top." she said flicking off the ashes of the end of the cigarette.

I went to change the skirt, this time Veronica was at the cash register. I walked right past her as if she wasn't there.

I changed into the pants that Gemma told me to try on. They were extremely tight and I could fell the circulation to my legs cut off. I tried to walk back outside without ripping it.

"Breathe" She joked

I cracked a half smile

"Let's go look in the mirror" she said outing her cigarette and throwing it on the ground

We walked back inside and stood in front the mirror in the dressing room

I laughed. "I look ridiculous"

She laughed "All you got to do it stand with some confidence instead of slouching like you always do" she tighten the corset

"What not tight enough?" I joked

"The tighter the top, the more your tits stand out"

"Taking tips from Luanne I see" I laughed and looked at her. I tried to wiggle around the corset hoping that would make it easier for me to breathe

"Stand still and quite being such a smartass" she pulled the strings tighter

"Yes ma'am" I laughed trying to stand still.

She stood back.

"What?"

"I got and idea" she said

She went outside and grabbed some leather boots.

"Your really into leather aren't you?"

"Your really into asking a lot of questions aren't you? Just put the damn shoes on"

I put them on and looked in the mirror

"Damn, I'm good" Gemma said

I smiled. I knew Jax was going to like this.
