The Lost Teller

Night terrors

    I woke up in a cold sweat shaking violently. I looked at the little clock on the desk next to the bed and it read 4am. I slept for about 3 hours. More than normal I suppose. I laid there for a bit thinking. Maybe I could ask Tara about sleeping pills. My last foster family was a joke and stop taking me to appointments so my script never got refilled making my night terrors flare up again. I reached for my phone not sure what to really do so I sent a text to Jax seeing if he was by chance awake.
(Regular text- Dakota, Bold- Jax)
"Hey you awake?"
  "I am, why that hell are you? You okay?"
"Ya just couldn't sleep I guess"
"Right said no teenager ever. Try again. And the truth this time kid"
"... My last foster family stopped taking me to the court ordered psych so my meds were canceled. Causing my night terrors to flare up again. Air go wide awake at 4am. Why the hell are you awake?"
" I can talk to Tara about that. And because I'm a grown ass adult and can do as I please."
"Oh I see so the honest thing only applies to me now huh?"
"Smart ass. I couldn't sleep. I have been reading a manuscript JT left about his vision for the club, so I've been battling some shit in my head."
"Didn't think bikers had journals. Not so badass after all. Bunch of pussies"
"Shut up. I'm sure Gem has a busy day of shopping planned for you. You should try and rest. I'm going to bed. I'll cya later kid."
  I decided to leave it at this and not answer. I took the air pods that were also with the iPad and played some music letting it soothe my mind and relaxed. 
      10am came around very fast. I got up and got dressed into some jeans and a tank top with a black and red flannel and my grey beanie. I walked out to the kitchen to find Gem and clay sitting drinking some coffee. "Morning baby, help yourself to whatever you would like." Gem smiled I nodded and walked to the fridge and got a cup of orange juice and went and sat at the table with them. "I'm having the prospect tail you guys today. We have been getting some heavy heat from Mayans lately so just a precaution." Clay said while looking up from the paper. "Okay baby we will be leaving about 11." Gem said getting up to put her mug in sink "how did you sleep sweetheart?" Gem asked me coming back to the table "oh I uh slept okay. I appreciate you letting me stay here." I smiled lightly "of course baby. Eventually you will move In with Jackson once the house is finished being cleaned and repainted and such for when the baby gets home. His ex wife Wendy was a junkie whore and trashed the place. Jax has been staying at the club house. But you will always have a room here if you ever want too or need to stay here." She said happily. "Well let me go get ready and we can head out. We will stop by tm to get our tail to follow us around" she laughed and walked off. Clay and I sat in silence for a few moments before I decided to speak up. "I'm sorry for causing any trouble for you. You said something about the Mayans? Is everything okay? Jax mentioned the club was having a rough time.." I asked the old man as he looked at me skeptical. "No trouble. And ya but it's nothing we can't handle so there is nothing to worry your little pretty head about." He smiled and waved me off. I just nodded and made a mental note to ask Jax about it more later instead. "Alright little lady lets go shop!" Gem came out looking stunning as usual. I nodded and got up following her out the the nice black suv I was thrown into yesterday. I hopped into the passenger seat. " I'm guessing you don't have a license yet right? We can get that going too. Stop at dmv get the little learning packet." I nodded okay to her again and we drove listening to something music over to Tm. "I have to run into the office quick. Why don't you go find half sack. He's a skinny little ginger. Can't miss him." She didn't let me get a chance to say no and strolled over to the office so I walked over into the club house. First person I saw was Tig. "Aww hey doll face how was your first night!" He practically skipped over to me glowing "it was okay. I'm looking for the prospect. Clay said he has to follow gem and I around town." I jumped right to why I was here. "I'll get him. HEY SACK GET UR ONE BALL OUT HERE!" Tig shouted through the club making me flinch as a ginger turned the corner from down at the dorms. "Hey I'm half sack" he smiled quiet friendly looking. Didn't look like the biker type. I nodded at him "hey , I'm Dakota. Uh clay wants you to follow Gemma and I." I said still not understanding the whole needing a tail. He nodded and went outside. I started to follow him when my name was called again. "Dakota, wait a minute" I turned around to see Jax walking from the big room with French doors along with Bobby and chibs. "Make it quick Teller, I get the impression your mother isn't the patience waiting type." I told him rather quick to make a point. The guys laughed "no she isn't. Just wanted to make sure you're alright. Yesterday was a lot." He asked "you know for a bunch of bikers you're a very emotional bunch." I snarked laughing. Making him roll his eyes. Which seems to be a habit when I talk to him. "I'll take that as you're just fine then." He shook his head lighting a cig and took a seat at the bar. "I actually have a question." I said making him look at me again and nod signaling to continue "clay mentioned there is possible trouble with the Mayans. Hence the whole being tailed. The Mayans their president it's Marcus aleverz right?" I ask he nodded again "I thought the sons and Mayans had a pending agreement for drugs and guns. Why is there heat between the two now?" I asked "how do you even know about that." Avoiding my question Jax asked me a question instead. "I grew up running from one foster home to another. I spent more time on the street then in a home. I learned to watch and listen. And honestly you guys aren't that good at being hidden and secret. Using Oswald lumber is kinda a dead give away in my opinion. Everyone knows you helped him catch his kids rapist meaning he owned you guys a favor. After the cabin was burned down it was kinda easy to connect the dots of where it was all headed. But then again you also have most of charming on your pay roll so guess it doesn't matter." I shrugged they all looked alittle stunned though. "Holy shit. She really does know a lot man. We should take this to the table.." Tig spoke softly to Jax hoping I wouldn't hear him but I did. "So if you knew all this why didn't you ever go to the cops?" Bobby asked me "are you kidding? I've been a ward of the state since I was 5 after the countless times I would end up in the hospital after being beaten or drugged or both. The cops stopped trying and quit helping. They labeled me as a mental case looking for attention and drugs as a way to make it seem like they weren't just neglecting to actually do there damn job. I was just a waste of time and waste of police resources that could be used for the important matters. Why do you think I got involved in street fighting. Self defense came in handy quite often. Far as I'm concerned the Police department can suck my dick." I huffed annoyed he would even ask. "I'm sorry I wasn't trying to offend ya darling." Bobby sighed raising his hands in surrender. "I'm gonna go now I'm sure Gemma is ready to rip my head off for taking so long" I spoke fast slightly irritated now and stormed out ignoring my name being called. I walked right over to the car and hopped in. Gemma gave me a weird look as Jax came rushing outside and over to the car. Gem got out and spoke to him quickly. And he went back to into the club and she hopped back in. "Let's go shopping!" She cheered and pulled out of Tm. As I got a text msg from Jax . " This conversation isn't over kid. We will finish this later tonight." Great been here two days and I'm already getting into trouble..
