(A/N : I'm not 100% happy with this chapter because I had massive writers block so I'm sorry if it's not the greatest)

We're Gonna Ride Again

Man, you're more than a memory, more than a friend

Man, you'll always be family, we'll never forget

Gonna see you again someday

Hell yeah, we're gonna rock that house

When we get through the gates- We're Gonna Ride Again – Brantley Gilbert


Walking into the Teller house Sage ran to her uncle John hugging him tight .

"Hey shortcake! My God you have grown! I feel like I've missed years of you growing up being away all the time, you're becoming a beautiful young lady and soon need to chase off the boys." John smiled

Gemma walked up behind John " Well you haven't scared off Harry Winston yet, you can tell he has it bad for her"

" Oh my gosh! Guys, that was a childhood crush he had, I'm sure he's over that, besides I'd rather have him as a friend for life. Anyways... Uncle John where have you been? " Sage opened the fridge to get a glass of orange juice

" Ireland, trying to settle club stuff, calling a meeting tonight "John shrugged up wearing himself a cup of coffee

Sage knew not to ask many questions , remembering when she was little Gemma sat her down one day

*" Sweetheart you're basically the princess of this club those boys out there will protect you. However the club life is a very private life. You hear nothing you say nothing you know nothing understand"

Later that night Sage went to her fathers house but she seemed like she was always the maid anymore. Cleaning her dad's mess , cooking him food, when he decided to order out she didn't get much so she always ended up cooking something small for herself, and washed up his work clothes for the week.

Looking at him sleeping on the couch with the TV on, covering him up with a blanket, turning the TV off, cleaning up beer cans in the pizza box off the living room table, discarding the mess, cleaning the countertops and locking the door and turning off the lights for the night.

Walking to her bedroom, yawning. She was exhausted but needed to study for a test the following day. Struggling to stay awake. She jumped a foot out of her desk chair and she heard the window open glancing at the window and her phone it was 11 PM as both Jax and and Opie walked towards her.

" what are you guys doing here " she asked as she closed her book and yawned

" getting away from the bullshit, dad and Clay had a chapel meeting... I've heard some talking all I know is that Clay his VP is not happy with dad's decision. Jax shrugged

" Piney came home aggravated and drunk too so must have been bad " Opie spoke up as him and Jax sat on her bed .

" Jackson... I've noticed Clay... Well very friendly with your mom lately basically flirting with her " Frowning she got up and joined them on the bed

" yeah I noticed too somethings off and I don't like it either. Think it may have something to do with my dad's visit to Ireland but I don't know "

-ONE WEEK LATER-

Jax's POV

Tears were rolling down my face as I quickly peddled my bike to my cousins house, throwing down my bike pounding on the door. Sage looked at my face and pulled me into the house as her dad sat at the table reading the newspaper.

"Jackson what the heck... What's wrong?" Sage looked at me with pleading eyes

" My... My dad took a ride last night... Didn't come home, answer stop by the house a bit ago they investigated an accident last evening, they're saying my dad lost control of his bike and went to head on into a semi truck. He's gone my dad's dead!

Jack Teller dropped his coffee cup to the floor shattering to pieces,

Wiping a tear from my eye " my mom is suppose to call you soon, the club is making a public announcement later at the garage, other charters are probably gonna be there " Jax managed to get out while his head hung low.

" No No No ....Jackson this isn't funny joke !!!! Uncle John isn't gone!!!! Jackson!!! " Sage choked up and started to sob

" I hafta go" I turned around and left

-End POV-

+ Later at the Teller Morrow Garage+

The parking lot was full of motorcycles by time Sage arrived at the garage . She showed up alone , her dad not wanting to show up. This didn't feel real, until she seen ' RIP JT patches on everyone's kuttes. Crying as she walked to the front with Jax, Tara Harry and Gemma which had mascara running down her face. Clay started speaking

" As the new president of this charter , I hate to give this news .... Late last night a tragedy happened. We lost one of our brothers due to a head on with a semi. John Teller was a great husband , father and a friend, also the founder of Samcro. JT's viewing will be held tomorrow "

This angered Jackson, rage built up and caused a scene in front of everyone.

" You don't deserve that chair and patch, That patch should go with him! You wait until it's my turn! I'll get you out of that seat so fast. I'm a true Teller, YOU'RE not!

Clay looked down at Jax " Calm down son!"

" No! Don't ever call me that! I'm not your son! I'm John Tellers son! " Jax screamed and made his way out of the parking lot and down the street , as Tara, Sage and Harry followed

" Leave me alone"

Sage continued to follow and Tara yelled from behind

" Sage he said he wants to be left alone "

" No he doesn't! I know him"

"Sage I said leave me alone! Don't you listen "

" No you don't Jax , I'm here for you" wrapping her arm around his waist.

That night Sage wanted to stay and be close to Aunt Gemma and Jackson.

Gemma and Sage were sitting on the couch going through old photos . Both crying . Gemma took out a picture of John with Sage on his shoulders inside the club.

" He sure loved you to pieces shortcake , treated you like you were his own, here baby you keep this"

" I loved him too, I'd like to go check on Jackson , you need me let me know" he gave a weak smile

Walking to her room and plopped on her bed looking at the picture. Feeling her heart crack , having to say goodbye tomorrow was going to hurt all over again. The smile, the hugs, the stories , the protective Uncle, he was gone. Getting up to place the picture on her dresser and Grabbing her cow Muffin and walked to Jax's bedroom, She outgrew Muffin but she could never give him up.

With a light knock, Jax patted the bed for her to sit.

" I can't believe you still have that thing "

"He's helped me through some rough times" she yawed and laid her head on his shoulder and spent the night in silence

The Next Morning

Bikers gathered around the viewing . John Teller had a closed casket due to the horrific accident. Sage wished she could say goodbye properly. Walking to his casket and placed two roses on and gave the top of the casket a kiss whispering " I love you uncle John, no one will ever replace you, you will ride again with your crew and family . I'll always be your shortcake"

Turning around seeing her dad motionless , eyeing the club members shaking his head in disgust and left without a word.
