Tara has been stuck in the clubhouse the past few days and it's not like she really has a choice anyways. The whole entire clubhouse was on a lock down and nobody knows how long it's gonna be and that's not even the worse part Tara had to keep her distance from Jax, and she's not liking it one bit. It seems that a few men that Piney and Jax sold Aks too held an police escape a few days ago and because of it, everyone had to stay in the clubhouse under protection.

Tara sighs deeply as she finished her drink." I am gonna get some fresh air." Tara said as she set the glass down and got up from the barstool. Tara just got tired of watching one of the crow eaters all over Jax. Tara so desperately wants to pull the bitch off of him but once again she can't without everyone getting suspicious. Especially Piney and Opie.

" Stay in the yard." Opie said as he watched her walking towards the clubhouse door.

" Yes, dad." Tara called out in sarcasm as she walked out of the clubhouse. Walking towards one of the picnic tables. Tara sat down as she grabbed a cigarette from one of her packs. After she lit it up and took the first drag, Tara breathes softly as she leans back against the chair and closed her eyes for a moment.

Tara then suddenly jumped out of her seat when all of sudden, she heard gun shots blazing through the gates of TM. Tara quickly moved out of the way as soon as Jax, Clay and the club ran out blasting their own guns.

" Tara, get inside, now!" Opie instructed as shoved Tara back towards the clubhouse door. Once Opie saw his little sister running back into the clubhouse with the door slammed shut, he turned his attention back to the shooters.

Tara ran down the hall into her room and quickly opened her door, she then quickly grabbed her hand gun that Opie gave her on her fifteenth birthday. Opie taught her how to use it that day, it was the best birthday she ever had, and of course Opie did make her promise never to use it unless it was an emergency, and this is one of those times.

" Tara where are you going with that?" Donna asked once she saw the hand gun that Tara was holding.

" Where do you thinking? I'm gonna go and help my brother and my dad." Tara says as she shrugged her shoulders." What's the problem?"

" The problem is that, you could get caught in a cross fire and get hurt. Opie would kill you for trying to help and Jax can't lose you." Donna says softly so Gemma wouldn't hear the last part.

Tara sighs deeply as she nods her head." Yeah, maybe you're right." Tara said as she walked back to the bar and set her gun on the bar as she sat down on the barstool. Tara hates sitting back and do nothing when her brother and father is out there, not to mention Jax.

Suddenly Tara and Donna both ran back out of the clubhouse as soon as they heard an ambulance coming through the gate." What's going on?" Tara asked Bobby as soon as she saw him walking back towards her.

" It's Piney, he got hit. They are rushing him to St. Thomas."

Tara ran towards the ambulance when she watched the two EMTs lifting Piney up on the gurdy." Daddy!" Tara shouted out as she felt Jax holding her back." Damn it Jax! Let me go, my father is in that Ambulance!" Tara yelled as she was trying to get out of his grasp.

" Tara you need to calm down, Opie is already riding with him. I can take you to St. Thomas if you want." Jax said softly as he loosen up his grips around her as she felt her calming down.

" No, go with the guys, Donna and I will meet you guys there." Tara said as nods her head as she headed towards Donna's car as soon as Donna got into the drivers seat. As much as Tara wants to ride to St. Thomas with Jax which would be faster. It would be best to ride with Donna.


" Opie!" Tara called out as she walked up to him as soon as she reached the waiting room, where she found him and the rest of the club." How's dad?"

" I don't know, they had to take him to straight to surgery. Where's Donna?" Opie asked as he noticed Donna didn't come to the waiting room with Tara.

" She just dropped me off, I told her I will call her later once I knew the update about dad's condition. So, the doctors won't say anything?" Tara asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Opie shook his head no." Nobody ain't telling me shit."

" Maybe, they will tell me what's going on." Tara looked around and found a doctor. Tara quickly walked up to him." Excuse me?" Tara asked approaching to the doctor.

The doctor looked up from his files as he noticed Tara standing in front of him." Well, hello there sweet thing. What can I do for you today?" The doctor asked with a cocky smirk.

Tara just huffed and rolled her eyes as she was clearly not interested in him or his lack of flirting." Yeah, you can tell me how my father is." Tara answered getting to the point.

" Who's your father?" The young doctor asked with a shrug and a very confused look on his face.

" His name is Piney Winston, he was just brought into surgery about ten minutes ago. He got shot today." Tara answered with one breath.

The doctor suddenly got serious and nods his head for a moment." I honestly don't have an answer for you at this time, he's still in surgery and it could be awhile."

" What do you mean awhile? is it really that bad?"

" That's all I can tell you for now, I'm sorry Ms." the doctor said as he closed the files and walked away from Tara and out of the waiting room.

" Damn it!" Tara yelled out as she knocked everything off of the nurse's desk on to the floor. Tara ignored the nurse as she walked back towards the guys and dropped down in one of the chairs next to Opie.

" What did the doctor say?"

Tara just shrugged her shoulders." Not much, all he said was that pop's still in surgery and it could be awhile. Do we know who the shooters were?" Tara asked.

" we honestly have no clue." Opie responded as he shook his head.

Tara snorts as she pinched the bridge of her nose." Jesus Christ. Is it possible that it could've been the two guys who bought the guns from dad and Jax?" Tara asked getting more irritated and pissed off." The same guys who shot up two police officers when they tried to help their friend escape police custody?"

" There's a possibility, that it could be them."

" Jesus fucking Christ!" Tara responded as she sighs heavily as she ran her fingers and hands through her hair." I can't handle this right now, I need some air." Tara said as she got up and walked away from everyone and out of the hospital. Tara quickly called Donna and had Donna come to pick her up as she didn't want to be here right now and she needed to clear her head.

" Babe, is there anything I can-." But before Jax could even finish his question. Tara quickly turned around and punched Jax in the face using her fist. He could feel the bruise starting to form." What the hell?" What did I do?"

" My father is in there fighting for his life, because of you!" Tara responded as she shoved Jax so hard with both of her hands that Jax stumbled backwards and fell on his ass." You wanna know what you can for me?" Tara asked repeating his question." You can stay the hell away from me." Tara responded as she quickly got into Donna's car as soon as Donna pulled up by the curb. Before Jax had a chance to say anything else, Tara slammed the car door shut.

" Tara, what the hell was that all about?" Donna asked as she looked over and watched Jax slowly getting up off of the ground.

" Donna, just drive please. Just take me back to the clubhouse and don't ask anymore questions." Tara answered as she looked a head and not wanting to look at Jax right now who was still standing there.

" Will you tell me later?" Donna asked as she started to pull away from the curb and headed towards back to the clubhouse.

" Yeah." Tara said softly with a nod as she looked out the window and quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. Tara knows she probably shouldn't blame the whole thing on Jax since he wasn't the only who sold the guns to the two men who shot Piney. Tara does blame her father as well, since he should have known better. Tara also feels bad for punching Jax in the face, but she was so angry that she needed to hit someone.

" Looks like you hit him pretty hard." Donna said as she noticed the red mark across Tara's knuckles. Donna has seen Tara slap someone in the face, but she never seen her punch anyone in the face before.

" Yeah, I did." Tara responded softly as she looked down her hand as she rubbed her knuckles with her other hand. Tara knew she shouldn't have hit Jax, but right now she can't worry about that. All she's worried about is Piney and hopes that he will pull through and a way to find those men and go after them herself.

Once Donna pulled into the lot, Tara quickly got out of the car and walked straight into the clubhouse. Walking straight up to the bar, Tara grabbed her hand gun and walked down the hall straight towards her dorm ignoring everyone that was watching her. She slammed the door shut and locks it as she dropped down against her door and buried her face against her hands as she just lost it and cried.

AN: Coming back to this story!! Things between Jax and Tara is about to get more intense and probably gonna get a lot worse as well. Needed some kind of drama and since I couldn't come up with an idea of my own, I decided to go with the scene from season 1 where Piney and Jax sold Aks to the men that Piney knew from serving in the army. Anyway hope you all liked this chapter and happy reading everyone!! Leave reviews xD.
