Waking up by the sound of alarm going off, Tara rolled on to her back as she reached over and hit the off button. Throwing the covers back as she sat up and placed her feet on the floor of her room. Tara yawn softly as she ran her hands down her face. Today was her officially first day at St. Thomas and she wanted to get a head start. When Tara was first offered the job at St. Thomas, she wasn't sure she wanted to come back to Charming in the first place considering how she left things with Jax. But she then realized that if she didn't leave Chicago she would probably be dead by now. Tara shuddered by the thought of that happening.
Tara was never scared in her life, but when Josh started to get very possive with her and became more dangerous towards her, Tara knew she had to get away from him soon as possible. She just hopes and prays that Josh doesn't follow her which she highly doubt it though.
Tara slightly jump when she heard a chime coming from her cell letting her know she got a text. Picking up her cell Tara chuckles lightly as she saw the text from Donna.
Good luck on your first day at the hospital. Let's meet up for lunch at the cafe- D.
Yeah that sounds good. We can meet up around one- T.
That works for me. Opie is going to be at the clubhouse all day and the kids don't get out of school until three- D.
I will meet you at the cafe at one- T.
Setting her cell back down after she sent the text Tara couldn't help but to feel little guilty about having Donna keeping her secret. She knows Donna is only keeping her secret because she's Tara's best friend and all, but Tara feels like she's making Donna lie for her and she hates that. But then again now that Gemma some how found out she's back in Charming, Tara's secret might as well blow up in her face and that's the very last thing she needs right now.
Shaking the thought of Gemma out of her head Tara got up from her bed as she walked towards her drawers and grabbed her scrubs and whatever else she needs before jumping into the shower to get ready for work. Today was gonna be a long day and she couldn't afford to get distracted.
Walking into the kitchen after her shower Tara made fresh coffee and herself a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. Just as she was done spreading the cream cheese on her second half of the bagel she heard a knock at her door. Tara glance over at the time in confusion as she knew it couldn't be Donna and she wasn't really expecting anyone especially this early in the morning.
Tara reached for the hand gun she's been carrying around since she left Chicago just in case Josh was gonna show up at her door one day. Of course Tara never really thought of actually using it but if she didn't have a choice then she would only to protect herself.
Keeping the gun to her side as she slowly walked towards her front door. Without hesitation Tara quickly opened the door. She huffs in relief as she was glad that it wasn't Josh, but not happy that it was Gemma Teller outside her door.
Gemma snort as she placed her hand against her hip." I guess it's true. You're back" She then looked down as she noticed the gun in Tara's hand." Planning on killing me?" She asked with a smirk." I don't think that's the best way to win back Jax's heart sweetheart."
Tara scoffed as she placed her gun down and walked away from the door. " I was wondering when you were actually going to show your face at my door. How did you know I was back?" Tara asked as she glared at Gemma. with her arms across her chest. She just really hopes that Donna didn't reveal her secret. But of course Donna wouldn't betray Tara's trust like that. So someone must have spotted her but Tara isn't sure who.
" That's not important right now. What's more important is what I came over to tell you."Gemma said seriously as she walked up to Tara.
" What would that be?"
" I got no idea why your suddenly back in Charming and frankly I don't care. Stay away from Jax, He's moved on Tara. Him and Wendy are married and they are about to have a son. The last thing Jax needs right now is for you to come back and screw with his head again." Gemma said seriously.
Tara scoffs as she crossed her arms over her chest." I am not here for Jax. Sorry to disappoint you Gemma, but what I do doesn't revolve around Jax." Which isn't really entirely true. Everything she ever did always revolved Jax Teller, even coming back revolves him. But Gemma doesn't need to know that.
" Then why are you back?" Gemma asked as she brought her brows down in confusion.
" I got a job over at St. Thomas, which your kinda making me late for. So if you don't mind Gemma, but I need to finish getting ready for work." Tara said as she walked around Gemma and pulled her door open and stands by it as she waits for Gemma to leave as she was done with this conversation already.
" I'll go." Gemma said as she walked out of the door but stops for a moment as she stares at Tara." I'm not going. to tell Jax that your back nor am I not going to tell him about this little conversation either." Gemma said as she started to walk away from Tara and got back into her car.
As Tara watched Gemma off, Tara starts to wonder why Gemma is willing not to Jax she's back. As far as she had known Gemma Teller, she doesn't always keep things to herself especially with something like this. She heavily sighs as she closed the door and finish getting ready for work.
" Gemma was at your house this morning?" Donna asked as she was still surprised that Gemma actually showed up at Tara's front door. The moment Tara sat across from Donna at the cafe, Tara blurted out that Gemma came over and pay her a visit.
" Yeah." Tara simply answered as she took a drink of her coffee.
" Well, what did Gemma say?"
Tara snorts as she rolled her eyes." To tell me to stay away from Jax and that he's moved on. Also him and Wendy are married and is expecting a son. She seems to think I'm going to screw with his head again." Tara said with a scoff.
" Wow, I can't believe Gemma would lie about something like that." Donna said as she shook her head in disappointment.
" What are you talking about?" Tara asked in confusion.
Donna sighs as she set her fork down and wiped her face with her napkin." Tara, Jax and Wendy are getting a divorce."
Tara was taken a back about what Donna just said. Her mind starts to wonder if this could be their chance to try again. To love each other again. Tara just shrugged her shoulders." Doesn't matter, Gemma had made it very clear that Jax has moved on and there's nothing I can do about it."
" What else did she say?"
" That, she won't tell Jax I'm back or our conversation we had this morning." Tara answered as she took another bite of her Caesars salad.
" Do you actually believe her?"
" Hell no." Tara answered with a scoff. " This is Gemma Teller we are talking about here. She basically tells Jax everything and with something important like this, there's no reason she's going to keep it herself."
" Well, what's going happen if Gemma actually does tell him?"
" Honestly, I don't know but I guess I'll figure it out once I cross that bridge." Tara really has no idea what she'll do if Gemma actually told Jax her little secret or if he actually showed up at her front door. But what Tara knows for sure is that she can't take the risk of running into Jax, not yet anyways.
AN: So, what did you guys think about this chapter? Do you guys think Gemma would actually keep Tara's secret or tell Jax that Tara's back? don't worry Jax will find out sooner or later and Jax and Tara will come face to face. Let me know by sending reviews and as always happy reading!!!
