My Only Sunshine

Chapter 18

As we stepped into the garage, Kenny stomped over to Jax and Opie. Donna smirked and did a head nod to Opie, who took his attention away from Jax and noticed Kenny stomping over. 

"Uncle Jackson!" I started laughing immediately. Donna and Opie also started to cackle at their son. 

"Woah! Kenny what's with the full name?" Jax questioned him. Kenny shoved him, he didn't move very far, but Jax wasn't expecting it so he moved an inch or two. 

"Don't you ever hurt Auntie Hadley again!" Jax looked up and saw me and Donna giggling madly. Jax rolled his eyes and put his hands up in defense. 

"I promise, I won't ever do it again." Tig, Chibs, Bobby, and Clay started chuckling. 

"You're going to make a great prospect some day, bud." Jax said, eyeing Donna as pay back. She glared at him but he gave her a smug smile back as I rolled my eyes. 

"He's obnoxious. Sorry Donna." I said, giving her a frown. She just rolled her eyes and nodded. "I know how Jax can be." 

I walked over there with Donna beside me. "Did you stick up for Aunt Hadley?" Donna questioned Kenny. 

"Yeah, and if he ever does that again, I'm gonna beat him up." The guys chuckled and I let out a laugh. 

"Kenny, I appreciate you looking out for me." I started and he interrupted.

"No. I don't care what you say, he doesn't get away with that. You can't tell me that I can't protect you." Kenny started to yell. I was shocked as I looked up at Opie. 

"Jesus Kenny, what has gotten into you?" Opie questioned him. 

"We were taught about stalkers at school and I know Aunt Hadley has one. Uncle Jax needs to be there to protect her and he wasn't." Kenny snapped. 

"Kenny, you need to relax. I am safe, okay?" I said to him. "I promise." 

He looked up at me with tears in his eyes and held out his pinky, "Promise?" I wrapped my pinky around his and shook it. He hugged me tightly as soon as he let go and I sighed as I held onto him. Donna and Opie looked at each other with worry. Gemma stepped out of the office and looked over everyone before suggesting a family dinner. 

"So, family dinner, tomorrow night, at my house. We'll try this shit again. 5 o'clock sharp. Nobody be late or I'll shove my stiletto boot up all of your asses." Everyone threw up their hands in defense. I just nodded at her attempts to get everyone over, though I wasn't sure I was going to attend. 

I haven't been bothered in weeks and I had hoped the stalker had to move away but I knew he was just waiting for an opening. It left me panicking, but I had to be strong for Abel who was coming home very soon. As we stood outside chatting about the dinner that was coming up, a couple cops pulled onto the lot with David and Jacob standing at the front of the line. 

"Hadley, we have a couple of questions for you." Jacob began, when David looked up at him with a glare on his features. David then turned his attention back to me. 

"We have a couple of questions that does not need an audience." David sneered, basically telling the club to fuck off without actually saying it. 

"Jax, Clay, Ope, and Chibs are staying. If you have a problem with that then fuck off back to stick up the ass town where you belong." Donna squeezed my shoulder before walking away with the kids. Tig, Bobby, Juice, Piney, Happy, and Half-Sack wandered off right after. 

"Do you know a man by the name of Brad Stevens?" I thought about it and shook my head no. 

"I've never met anyone by that name." I said as I began walking over to the picnic tables. 

"Hadley, this is serious!" David said. 

"I am sitting down, if you have a problem with that then go whine to someone who cares." I snapped as I reached the picnic table and sat down. "Why are you questioning me about this guy?" 

"He is in the hospital with injuries that show he was assaulted. He's claiming you did it." David said, causing me to raise my eyebrow. 

"I've never met this guy in my life. Why would I assault him?" Jax wrapped his arm around me, no doubt to keep me calm. 

"He claims you came onto him and when he rejected you, you assaulted him in a rage." I snorted. 

"Let's pretend for a second that I actually care about this conversation. I am with Jax. Why in the actual fuck would I try and fuck someone else?" I was shocked at their belief in the man who they didn't even know. 

"You're a whore and you always have been?" Jacob injected into the conversation nonchalantly. 

"Shut the fuck up asshole." Jax snarled and I smirked. 

"You have no room to speak about Hadley. You have no idea how many guys came in and out of our house when we were younger." Jacob began telling Jax. 

"Because you precious daddy let all of his buddies rape me. Fuck off Jacob, you don't know anything." David said nothing but Jacob seemed to get more angry. 

"You wanted it!" He yelled in my face. I was shocked at his loyalty to our father.

"Oh yeah, you're right. I totally wanted men who were like 30 years older than me to tear me open to the point I looked like one of Jack the Ripper's prostitutes down there. You're such a fucking idiot Jacob." I stood up, getting more and more angry as the seconds passed. 

"You weren't raped. You wanted it. I remember the screams. You enjoyed it." Jacob snarled. 

"Those were screams of pain. Now, if this conversation is to continue, he shuts his fucking mouth or you can arrest me for murder because I'll fucking kill him." I snarled. 

"Oh no need, I'll do it for you." Happy growled as he stood behind Jacob. 

Jax and Clay nodded at Happy. I looked up at him and smiled softly at his protectiveness. He was protective over the club mostly, but he would catch a bullet for any of the old ladies too. 

"Fine, I'll shut up, but I just need to say one more thing before I do." Jacob said and began contemplating something. 

"Spit it out, fuckhead." I snapped. 

"Dad wanted to apologize when he was on his death bed. I don't know why or what for, but he told me to tell you he was sorry." That felt like a knife cutting me open and spilling my intestines all over the ground. 

"Bullshit. You're lying. He was a lot of things, but remorseful was never one of them." I snapped. 

"He's not lying. That's not why we are here though. This guy seems dangerous Hadley. He wanted us to arrest you and let him talk to you. He seems a little crazy and I wonder about your safety." David said, interfering in the conversation. I ignored his first comment and shrugged at the rest. 

"He's of no concern to me since I haven't done anything to him." I said nonchalantly. 

"Hadley, you are not safe, let us help you." I laughed at his comment. 

"I've never been safer in my entire life. Jax and the club are all I need. You can't protect me from shit." I stood up again and Jax stood up with me and we turned around to walk away. Happy walked around the picnic table and he and Opie stood beside me on the opposite side of Jax. I wrapped my arm around Jax's shoulders. My other arm went around Happy's shoulders. 

"Thanks for sticking up for me Hap." I said softly. 

"Anytime Hadley. No one fucks with Jax's old lady... but Jax." He smirked as I chuckled. As we stepped into the clubhouse, I looked up at the guys, "Do you guys think this guy could be my stalker?" 

They all looked at each other and then nodded. "We're going to have Juice do a full look up on this guy." I nodded as Jax went to go see Juice and I was left standing at the bar with Opie and Happy until Donna came around with the kids.
