Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run

Chapter 268 Forgive Him

"

Tara thought over the situation between Jax and Scarlett. She hoped that he would treat Scarlett better than he treated her. It still hurt when she thought about how he would break up with her, cheat and then come back a few days later.

For Scarlett's sake, she hoped she'd gotten through to Jax about working things out with Scarlett and not losing himself in alcohol, drugs and crow-eaters.

She thought for awhile before deciding to call Scarlett and warn her about Kohn.

"I called Jax to come over because I needed to tell him about my crazy psycho ex. I'm pretty sure that he's the ATF agent looking into SAMCRO."

"Didn't you used to live in Chicago? Did he get transferred here?"

"I doubt it. He told me that if I go away with him, he'll drop the cases against Jax and the MC."

"Oh," Scarlett said. "He's playing you."

"That's exactly what Jax said. Kohn hates Jax and would do anything to hurt him. That might include hurting you."

"This sounds familiar."

"Just keep your guard up."

"OK. Why can't you just go to his ATF boss?"

"I tried that when he turned abusive."

"I guess if you really attacked him using the ATF you might just make him crazier. He would have nothing to lose by coming after you."

"You understand perfectly why I'm in such a bind. While I was talking to Jax I noticed that he seemed different. Eventually, I convinced him to tell me what was wrong. He told me about the fight he had with you. He said you told him you never want to see him again."

"I did say that."

"I explained to him that when a girl says that she really means she very angry and she needs a few hours to herself."

"I don't know Tara. I'm furious with him."

"He told me that he noticed a man walking into your room. He didn't leave so Jax investigated."

"He was just giving me an acupuncture treatment. I thought he could see the needles in me. The next thing I know he's throwing the poor guy against the wall and punching him. It was horrible."

"When Jax and I were together I would have been so happy if he'd done that. He was never jealous when we were together. It made me feel like he wasn't jealous because he didn't think anyone else would want me."

"He probably wasn't jealous because he trusted you."

"I never really thought of it that way. I told him that the fight was his fault. I think with a little time, he will see that his behavior was wrong."

"Tara, I'm just so hurt that he would think I would cheat on him that I really don't care if I see him again."

"You have every right to be mad at him and hurt. Jax is a very flawed man. You are perfect. Teach him better."

Scarlett laughed.

"Point taken."

"If he makes you happy and if he gets that he screwed up, maybe you should forgive him."

"Thanks Tara for being a good friend to me and Jax."

"Are you going to forgive him?"

"I don't know. I think it's going to depend on what he says."

"Well, if you need any more words of wisdom, you can always call me."

"Thanks Tara. I'm really glad to have you for a friend

"Me too."

They said their good-byes. Tara was glad that she'd called Scarlett and done her best at getting her to reconcile with Jax. She'd been the kind of friend she would want. The rest was up to them.

The only question was would Jax cheat on Scarlett before he finally got it through his thick head that he was really in the wrong and owed her a big apology?

Author's Note: This friendship between Scarlett and Tara will be tested over the next couple of weeks. Is it real or is Tara still trying to get Jax back?
