I pulled back into the auto body shop. Gemma was in the car behind me. She knew my choice but no one else.

I also knew that Tig and Jax wanted to come after me, but Gemma offered. She knew the guys would gang up on me and not let me make a decision on my own. She knew they would force my hand to make me stay, whether that was really my choice or not. Gemma coming was to help me make my mind up the way I want to not what others wanted. I got out of my car and sighed as Gemma got out of hers as well and walked over to me.

"You ready to do this?" Gemma asked and I shook my head slightly.

"No, but I don't think I have a choice. This is the way it needs to be." I said and she half nodded.

"And how do you want to do this?" Gemma asked.

"I need to talk Jax and my dad first, but I don't know who to talk to first..." I said and she sighed.

"Why not together. You have the same thing to say to them basically." Gemma said and I nodded.

"Yeah. maybe..." I said.

"Do you want to do it in the clubhouse?" Gemma asked and I shook my head.

"I would like to in the office if I can..." I said.

"Go in there and wait...I will go get them." She said and I nodded as I headed to the office.

I was fidgeting and it seemed like I was waiting forever until the door opened and both men were standing there watching me pace.

"Oh, thank god you came back." Tig said and came over to me and hugged me. Jax then followed and I sighed.

"Yeah, but I came back to say goodbye." I said.

"Goodbye?! What the hell?!" Tig yelled and Jax looked pissed.

"I have to go, I'm not cut out for this. I thought I was, I thought I could fit in. Be a club members daughter and the vice president's old lady but it's not for me. I need to get back to a normal life before I knew any of this existed." I said.

"Jules...you can't do that." Tig said.

"I have to! In the time I have known you and this club I have been kidnapped, beaten, had a home invasion, had to leave my childhood home and lost my job. I loved my time being here and getting to know everyone, but this isn't for me. I need to live my life, free of drama and free of fear." I explained.

"Jules, please reconsider." Jax begged and I shook my head looking at the floor.

"I can't. This is my choice."

"But it isn't, and you know it!" Tig snapped.

"What are you talking about?" Jax asked.

"Stop, please..."

"Clay did this, while you were out of the clubhouse this morning, Jules and Clay had a meeting about what happened. Clay was overheard say somethings and now I think Jules feels like this is the only what to go about it." Tig explained and I groaned as Jax looked at me.

"What was said today?!" Jax growled.

"Nothing that I hadn't heard before." I said.

"Jules!" Jax snapped.

"He said I was inserting myself in club business too much, said I needed to learn my place and if I wasn't careful, I could end up like the other people who have gone missing." I explained. Jax punched the wall and I just looked at him in amazement.

"Jax!"

"No Jules! Don't do this! Don't listen to Clay! He can't make you do this!" Jax said rushing up to me, gripping my hands in his. He pulled me flushed against him and I was in his face. "Don't leave me. Don't leave your father, others in the club who love you. Don't do this to us." Jax said and I felt the tears stinging my eyes.
