The Lost Teller

Keep trying

~Jax pov still~
It's been about 3 hours now and just about everyone has gone home. Dakota hasn't made any move to open the door. I know she got up a couple times to do something but she came right back and each time asked if I was still here. I think she honestly fell asleep now since I haven't heard any movement or anything in the last hour. "Jackson, I had the prospect sneak around and peek into her room, she's out cold beside the door. You can open it without hitting her." My Ma told me coming over to me dropping a key into my lap. "You had the key this whole time?" I scoffed of course she did. She just shrugged and walked over to her room. I stood up and opened the door as softly as I could. She was pass out on the floor just like ma said. But she had changed out of her outfit from earlier to leggings and a old hoodie of mine from when I was a kid that I have no clue how she got, not that I cared. I bent down and gently picked up her and brought her to the bed once I tucked her in I stripped down to just my jeans tossing my shit on to her plush chair thing in the corner, flipped off the lights and climbed into the bed beside her on to my stomach. Ma insisted on getting her a king sized double pillowed mattress and honestly it's comfy as shit. There isn't much else I can do tonight so sleeping sounds like a plan to me.

~back to Dakotas pov~
I woke up to the sun shinning into my eyes, realizing I was in my bed I sat up and looked to my side and saw Jax passed out. I'm not really sure how he got in here considering my door is obviously intact still. I took the moment to look at the reaper tattoo on his back. It's very detailed and
who ever did it was very talented. Maybe in the future I could ask about getting a few I always wanted tattoos but being underage I couldn't. Jax started to move so assuming he's is waking up I turned to look down at my hands to avoid any possible eye contact. He got up out of the bed and didn't say anything and walked to his stuff on the chair and started to put his shirt on. I looked up slightly and when I did I caught glimpse of a tattoo on his lower waist above his left hip. It was a rose and the stem was my name in cursive it was actually really pretty but also still badass looking. I've only been here about two weeks and he already got my name tattoo permanently on him. So I finally got the nerve to look at him "when did you get that tattoo." I asked him making him look confused at first before he realized what I was asking about. "The day you and Ma went shopping" I just nodded and looked back down at my hands picking at my nails. We stayed silent for a moment before he walked over to me, he took one of my hands into his "get up." He told me softly. I didn't say anything and just got up still staring at the floor once I was up he didn't say anything and just pulled me into him. He wrapped his arms around me and just stood there. I honestly wasn't sure what to do at first but I could feel my throat tightening. I wrapped my arms around him and just closed my eyes to keep from crying again. I've been crying to much. I probably seem like a weak pathetic little girl at this point. "I love you kid. It's gonna be okay. I have to the.club and do some shit, but I'll be back later tonight. I'll let Ma know to let you just be today." He spoke quietly like he was trying to keep me from breaking apart again. He kissed my head and slowly released me and walked out shutting the door softly. I stood there for a few moments. I don't think he plans on ever giving up. Stubborn bastard. I can't see Gem leaving me alone and honestly I'm starving. So I ran my hands through my hair and walked out to the kitchen slowly. Jax was still here talking to Gem. Looks like him and Clay were about to leave as they all turned when they heard me approaching. "Hey sweetheart you okay?" Gem asked walking to me. "Ya. I'm just hungry.." I was honest I kept my eyed glued to the floor. Jax and Clay both said goodbye and left. "I'll make ya some breakfast. Want some French toast baby?" Gem asked I nodded. "You know we bought you a whole new set of clothes yet you choose a pair of old leggings and my sons worn out old hoodie." She laughed as she got stuff to make food as I sat at the table. I smiled and laughed a-bit to because it's true. "I found it in a box on the shelf in the closet with some other stuff. Looked comfy so I grabbed it. I'm sorry." I told her "don't be hunny it's not like Jax will ever fit in that shit again. Plus you pull it off better then he did." She laughed and winked at me, placing food in front of me. "Thankyou, I'm sorry for ruining your dinner last night... I just stuck in my head really bad at times.. certain things just hit hard." I told her confessing up to what happened. "Baby... it's okay. This is still new for you. And don't worry about the dinner there will be tons more again it's not a big deal sweetheart. Everyone understands. You know Jax sat outside that door almost all night. I don't think I have ever seen him so persistent about something. You matter to him. A lot. You matter to all of us. We want to help you. You're family baby." She reaches over and moved my hair from my eyes smiling softly as she spoke. "I have to go to Tm in a bit to do some paper work for the shop. Will you be alright here? Or would you like to come with?" She asked "can I come with you..? I don't really want to be alone. I don't think I trust myself to be alone." I whisper mumbled but she nodded showing she heard me. "Of course baby finish eating and we will go after." She finished her coffee and walked to her room. I ate quickly and went to my room to get dressed. I pulled on dark blue skinny jeans and a long sleeved shirt that I got from the box in the closet as well, it was blue and black striped with 4 buttons from the collar to middle of the shirt. It's not cold out so I left the hoodie on my chair where Jax left his as well and threw my new blue vans on and my grey beanie and walked back out. Gem took one look and laughed lightly "you know I'm sure there is a bunch of  boxes with more of Jackson's shirts and shit from when he was a kid in my attic I could have someone get them down if you would like." She asked I just smiled and nodded and walked to the door as she followed me.
