Six months Earlier-Part 2
Jax inhales and exhales deeply as he looked down at his fathers headstone. Finding out the truth about his father was too much for him to handle and on top of that finding out Romeo and Luis were was still CIA. He still trying to wrap his mind around that fact. He kneels down and placed his hand on John Teller's headstone."I am sorry." The only word he could say at the moment. When he stood up and looked down at the headstone one more time. He knew right there he had to make this right.
Riding to St. Thomas Jax's mind went to his club. How's he gonna tell them the truth about what really happened to John Teller and Clay was the reason behind it. Most of them worships clay. They will even kill for him and few already has. Either the truth is gonna tear the club apart or keep them whole. But this is something Jax has to tell them. His mind went straight to Tara as he could feel his heart beating hard against his chest. How the hell am I supposed to protect her from this? He thought. How am I supposed to protect my sons from this? he thought again as he inhales deeply. He didn't have the answers at the moment. The letters had changed everything. He never wanted the gavel really but looks like he's not gonna have a choice. Pulling into the parking lot next to Bobby. He shut his bike off and took of his helmet as he ran his hand over his long dirty blonde hair and exhaled deeply before getting off. Setting his helmet on the handle bar he stood by Bobby's bike."How is he?" He asked as he looked back at the huge doors. He could feel the needle burning a hole in his jeans.
"He's been in an out." He said as he studied Jax's face as he brought his brows together." You doing okay brother?" He asked as he was couldn't help but worry about Jax. Jax just nods his head." Yeah I'll be fine." He said when he looked back to Bobby.
"Why don't you go back to the clubhouse. I am gonna stay here and talk to Clay." He said as he and Bobby embraced in an quick hug before Jax made his way into those door. He knew what he had to do. To protect his club and his family. Walking into the main doors Jax made his way towards the elevator.
Leading against the wall waiting for the elevator doors to open he reached into the pocket and gripped the needle in his hands as he inhales and exhaled deeply. Stepping out of the elevator doors he stopped eruptly once he felt his cell vibrating. Pulling it out he saw Tara's name flashing across the screen. He couldn't help but be relief that its her that called instead of his mother.
"Hey babe. You almost done with packing?" He asked as he kept walking towards Clay's room.
Tara looked around as she saw all the suitcases surroding her." Yeah everything is packed and ready to go."I never realized how many suitcases we had hidden in the closet."She said as she laughed."Where are you?"She asked as she sat down on the couch.
Jax stopped by Clay's door when he closed his eyes to try to calm his breathing,"I am about to go in and talk to Clay,I will be home soon babe,"
Tara breathe deeply as she had couldn't help but have this bad feeling in her heart and soul that something bad is gonna happen,She couldn't shake the feeling that she might not hear or even seen Jax ever again." Babe please be careful."
"Don't worry I will be home soon,"Jax then hung up as he put his cell back in his pocket he opened the door and slowly walked in,After he closed the door and locked it behind him and closed the blinds so there won't be any witnesses. Standing at the foot of the hospital bed staring back at the man who killed his father, The man who stole the seat from him. All the lies and deaths have been caused because of Clay, All because of his greed, Jax closed his eyes as he could feel his breathe shuddered when the image of Tara being almost abducted. Jax couldn't have lost the woman he loves more then anything all because of this one man laying in front of him, Jax slowly pulled out the needle out of his pocket of his jeans.
Walking over to the machine that kept Clay's heart beating Jax reached up were the I,V, was and quickly but quietly unattached the cord from it,Gripping the cord Closing his eyes his jawline clenched again as he could see his father dying here in his hospital bed, Seeing Donna's lifeless body on the pavement and watching Opie his best friend, His brother's whole being completely shattered because of what happen to his wife, His kids growing up without their mother and now Piney. The man who was like a father to Jax. The man who Jax looked up to,He gritted his teeth and flared up his nose.
"You've caused so much pain. So much deaths all the bodies dropping. The lies is because of you,"Jax said coldly as he got low and stared at his face,"You killed my father,You killed Donna, Almost killed Tara and now Piney. I should have let Opie kill you back there,Because you don't deserve to live and I am gonna make sure you don't." Jax slowly getting up he put the needle in the I.V. After he quickly put the cord back into the I,V, He took Clay's cut and placed it on the bed,
After he cut the President patch from the cut. He could hear the machine starting to go off rapidly. Slipping out of the room before the doctors anyone could catch him,Jax got into the elevator and pressed the first button to the main floor. Making across to the St,Thomas parking a lot he quickly got on his bike and drove off from the parking a lot. Gripping the handle bars he could feel his hands shaking but he decided to ignore it. He had to do it. For his club. For Opie and for Tara, Clay Morrow was now dead.
"Jax?"Tara asked as she walked out of their room towards the living room. She stopped as soon as Jax walked in through the door." Oh thank God." Walking over to him and threw her arm around his neck." I got a worried for a moment when you didn't answer."
Wrapping his arms around Tara's waist. Pulling her closer against his body he closed his eyes as he calm his breathing. Holding Tara close to him is what he needed right now. Kissing her temple he breathe her all in." Sorry babe. I had to just keep riding. Just to clear my head."
Tara slowly pulled back. Looking up at him she could tell something was on his mind. "Jax you been gone all day. What's going on? Did you...?"
"You don't have to worry about Clay anymore." He pressed his lips against her fingertips."I am gonna go take a shower. Letting her hand go Jax walked down the hall into the bathroom. After he stripped off his clothes and stepped into the shower. He pressed his hands against the shower wall. Now that he got rid of the threat. But now he has to figure out how's gonna Tell Tara that he's gonna have to take over the gavel.
Walking back into the room after he wrapped a towel around he waist he looked over at Tara as he raised his eye brows for a moment."Babe is everything okay?"He asked as he walked up to her,
Tara turned around and looks up at him as she held up the president patch in her hand."Why do you have this?"She asked him as she looked at it more,Shaking her head she sighs deeply as she looks back at him more."Why do you have the president patch Jackson?"She asked sternly,
Jax sighs as he ran his hand over his face as he looked at Tara."Because I am taking over the Gavel."He said as he took the president patch from her and walked past her as he sat down on the edge of the bed. The guys who had been working for the Cartel is also the CIA and if I don't take the gavel Tara. They can crush the club and everything the club worked so hard far can go away and I don't know if I can walk knowing that could happen."
Tara sighs more deeply as she closed her eyes and then walked over to Jax and sat down next to him,"Why can't Bobby or Chibs take over the gavel?"She asked him." I mean its their club as much as its yours." So they should take over the club,"She stated as she looked at him more.
Jax then shook his head as he looked down for a moment."I can't ask them to do that Tara. I got no choice babe,"He said quietly.
Tara scoffs as she shook her head,"You have a choice Jackson." She stood up as she scoffed once more as she shook her head again."So talking about us leaving? Being a real family? Was just a lie then?"She asked as she looked over at the boxes and then back at him,"So everything you said was just smoke then right?"She asked him as she could feel tears starting to fall."Damn it Jax. I am about supposed to start my new Job in Oregon in two weeks Two Weeks Jackson and now your telling me we can't leave?"She asked as she could feel her voice starting to crack a little.
Jax looked up at her and quickly stood up as he walked up to her."Babe everything I said wasn't a lie. There's nothing I want more then us to be a real family."He said as he grabbed her face into his hands."You and the boys are my life Tara and nothing will ever change that."He said as he leans down and kisses her deeply and passionately and slowly wrap his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him. Resting his forehead against hers as he breathe her in all in."I want you to take the boys up to Oregon."
Tara stepped back and raised her eyebrows."You what?"She asked as she scoffs."Jesus Christ Jax. So you want me to go up to Oregon while you stay here in Charming? While you...?"She stopped as she shook her head."No. I am not gonna walk away from you. "She stated as she felt her jaws harden
"Tara your job starts in two weeks, I can't ask you to give that up. just for me."He said as he looked at her,"Your whole future is..."He started to say when Tara stopped him.
"Jax my future is with you and your not asking me to give it up. "She said as she walked up to him and place her hand up against his face,"Baby if your staying then I am staying. There will be other opportunities and other Job offers. But there is only one family Jax Teller ours and I refuse to go anywhere without you. "She said as she leans up and kisses him deeply and passionately as she breathe against his lips,"I am staying and that's final. Besides don't you know that you can't get rid of me that easy Teller."She said as she smirks.
Puling her more closer to him as he ran his fingers through her long wavy black hair he shook his head as he lick his lips little,"Nope I guess I can't get rid of you."He said he leans down and kisses her deeply and moans softly as he cup her face into his hands and slides his tongue into her mouth and groans softly."I love you so much Tara."He mumbles against her lips,
"I love you too Jackson,"She said as she rest her forehead against his,"So what we gonna do about Gemma?"She asked,
"Nothing, She admitted she knew what Clay did and admitted she was involved with John's murder. She won't go anywhere near the boys babe or you,"He said looking down at her, I am gonna make sure of it." He said stroking his face,
"How?"She asked him as she looked up at him more. "She is at TM every day not to mention she is always around the club. So how exactly are you planning on keeping her away from us?"She asked again.
"Well with you as the new Samcro's Queen Gemma will have to think twice to come near us again,"He said as he smirks slightly as he pulled her closer to him wrapping his arms around her more,"Besides Gemma will be crazy to go up against you. "He said as he chuckled.
Tara nods her head," Well going from being Samcro's Doctor to their new Queen is gonna be an challenge but I can handle anything,"She said as she looks over at the boxes and sighs softly,"Well looks we better start unpacking then."She said as she lean against him and sighs softly, Tara just hopes she can handle being the new Queen and an Netro surgeon at St,Thomas.
