There Will Be Blood |SOA|

One

First of all, I started watching SOA a while ago and I fell in love with the show. I'm only on season 3 so don't get all pissy if I get some things wrong or change things. This is a fan fiction after all.

Anyway, just know that Abel doesn't exist and Jax never married Wendy.

Hope you enjoy the story! :)

NO POV:

As of right now, things in Charming, California are as normal as they can get for a town run by bikers. Tara arrived from Chicago, her and Jax are trying to get to know each other again, despite Gemma's protests. There hasn't been any disturbances for a while and no one's really complaining about it.

Everyone is hanging around inside of the clubhouse and Juice seems more hyper than usual and most were thinking that he's up to something...which he usually is but that's why everyone had so much love for him. 

"Guys." Juice yelled, getting everyone's attention. "I just found out that my baby sister, Copeland is coming back home...for good. She'll be here later today." He smiled.

Everyone knew and loved Copeland; she's been around since Juice was a prospect and that was a long time ago. When she was just ten years old, Opie gave her the title of 'The Little Sister of SAMCRO' because that's exactly what she was to the guys. Despite most of them being hardened criminals, Copeland brought out their soft side, it gave them something to look forward to.

Cheers erupted through the clubhouse and the boys were congratulating their excited Puerto Rican brother. On the other hand, Jax was pinching the bridge of his nose and that didn't go unnoticed to Tara.

"What's up with you? Everyone is happy...except you." Tara mumbled, wrapping her arm around Jax.

He shook her off. Tara's touch was making him even more anxious at the moment. "I just don't think it's a good idea. Copeland can't handle the danger that comes with SAMCRO, that's why she left in the first place. If she comes here...she'll only get hurt. I don't want that."

In reality, Jax is just afraid of Juice finding out the secret that he's been keeping for so long. He didn't know how he would react to what Jax knew was coming. Even though he's not sure about Copeland coming back home, he missed her and part of him wanted her here too.

Before Tara could respond to him, Gemma walked up to them. "Hey Tara. Come help me set up. We're going to have a little welcome home party for Cope."

Tara nodded and followed Gemma who managed to get all of the guys outside so they could get to work. Jax passed them on his way out, Tara couldn't shake the feeling that there's something more going on with him. Ever since Juice mention his sister, Jax became anxious and a little rigid. 

"Do you remember Copeland, Tara?" Gemma asked, getting out a blank banner to paint on.

Tara narrowed her eyes, trying to rack her brain. "Not really."

"She actually left town right before you did. Copeland is very important to this family, she's like our little girl. Jax would always do anything and everything for her. She could never have a boyfriend because Juice or Jax would beat them up and scare them off." Gemma laughed.

A few memories suddenly hit Tara. "Yeah, now I remember. Jax had some kind of protective hold over her. It all seemed a bit silly."

"Seemed like more than that to me. You should have seen his face when Juice mentioned her, I think she means more to him than he's letting on." Gemma replied wisely.

Tara scoffed. "Oh please! She is 10 years younger than him. My Jax would not go there."

Gemma sighed. "I guess you're right."
