Ellie POV

It was getting late and Ava was exhausted. Jax was carrying her on his back and she was half asleep. As we walking back to the bikes and the car, we seen Elliot Oswald wife running around frantically calling her daughter Tristan.

We had bumped into them earlier and Jax gave Tristan his left over tickets.
"What's wrong?"
"We can't find Tristan"
"Okay. We will help you look okay."
After a few hours, she is finally found. In the woods, her pants taken off and she is bleeding. All evidence pointing to the fact she had been raped. I couldn't breathe, I just wanted to get Ava home and away from all of this.

The next morning, Clay gathers a meeting. He explains Elliot wants revenge for his daughter. She is 13 and some disgusting guy decided he had the right to rape her. Normally I wouldn't be sat in on church meetings but I pleaded with clay to allow me too. There is a lot of discussion where or not the sons should be helping out. I can feel my blood boiling.

Tig jumps in "we have enough shit to deal with. This ain't our problem"
At this point I've had enough, I jump out of my seat and hit the table hard. The boys all jump and look over at me. I don't realise it but there are already tears rolling down my cheeks.

"This is our problem. Do you have any idea what it feels like to be held down, forced to feel some disgusting guy on top of you, touching you when you don't want him too. To feel his breathe on your neck and his hands on your skin. To smell his aftershave and feel his lips kissing every inch of you. To feel him force himself into you, not caring if he hurts you. Not caring if he is wearing anything incase you get pregnant. Do you have any idea what that's like?"
They all just stare at me confused, not knowing what to say.
I take a deep breath "because I do. A few weeks before I left charming, at the bonfire on the beach. I was raped. I was held down and forced to have sex. I was drunk and I didn't remember it until the next morning"

I take another shaky breath unable to look anyone in the eye. "A few weeks later I found out I was pregnant. So I left. I never reported it. And the man that did that to me is still walking around charming. So don't tell me this isn't our problem. I made a mistake not getting revenge for myself, I will not do the same thing for Tristan. We have to make this son of bitch pay."

With that I walk out of church and make my way outside.

Jax POV

I cant believe what I've just heard. Ellie was raped and I had no idea. Everyone at the table is so shocked. No one is saying anything. I can't help my anger that rises, I stand up and punch the wall numerous times until my hand is bleeding. I feel a hand on my shoulder, it's Opie.

"You okay?"
"No! We are her best friends how did we not know this"
"I don't know. She obviously didn't want anyone to know. Right now we need to focus on getting the guy who attacked Tristan then we can help Ellie okay?"
I nod, we are all in agreement. We will find this guy and make him pay. And then I'm going to find the guy who did this Ellie and he is going to wish he was never born.

I walk out of church and see Ava sitting with the prospect, playing a game. I walk over and kiss her head.
"Hey princess you seen your mum?"
"She went to the roof. Everything okay Jax?"
"Yeah sweetheart don't you worry" I look over at half sack and pull him to the side.
"You don't leave her side got it"
"Got it"
I make my way to the roof and see Ellie sat there, she is smoking. Something I haven't seen her do in a long time.
"Can I sit?"
She nods. We are quiet for some time.
"Ellie?"
She looks over at me and I see her face, she is crying. I can't help but feel so many different emotions.
"I'm sorry Jax"
I pull her into a hug and squeeze her to me "you have nothing to apologise for. Do you understand?"
She nods and continues to sob into my chest. I hold her and try to comfort her the best I can.

Once she has calmed down, she pulls away and wipes away the tears.
"What happened ellie?"
"It was the night we all went to the beach, you were with Tara and Opie was with Donna. You guys were all over each other so I decided to get drunk and go for a walk. I was half way down the beach when he came to walk with me. He seemed nice you know. He seemed sweet. We came to a rocky part of the beach, a secluded section, we sat and he started to kiss my neck and touch me............I told him I didn't want too but he just kept telling me.......he knew I didn't mean no.......he forced me to ground and got on top of me and I begged him to stop but he wouldn't. He just kept going. I was crying so much. I woke up, freezing half way in the sea the next morning. Everyone was gone and I made my way home. It wasn't until I showered that all the memories came back."
By the time she finished she was crying even more. I couldn't believe that had happened when I was just up the beach from her. I remembered that night, I thought she had gone home.
Why didnt I check?

"Ellie I'm so sorry. I should have been looking out for you"
"No Jax it's not your fault. I shouldn't have wandered off, I shouldn't have been wearing......"
"No!" I cup her face "no Ellie this is not your fault. It doesn't matter what you were wearing or how drunk you were. He had no right to do this to you"
I wiped away her tears and she smiled at me "you don't hate me?"
"Never"
"Please don't hate Ava Jax. This isn't her fault"
"Hey! Never okay. I love that little girl"
"She loves you too"

I pull her for a hug and I feel her relax against me.
"I'm never going to let anything happened to you or Ava ever again okay"
I feel her nod and she squeezes me tightly.
This son of a bitch would pay! I could bet my life on it!
