She had been driving for what felt like days. Her back hurts, her eyes hurt, she was so tired in more ways than one.
Her mother died a week ago, so she packed as much of her things as she could and took off in her car, a 2006 Honda accord.
And as of fate was on her side she got a flat right outside a body shop.
"Oh come on," She screamed, hitting her steering wheel before she got out.
That cought some attention from the guys. A very skinny, tall, blonde, white boy came to her aid.
"You ok ?" He was very awakward but in a cute way.
"I got a flat. Brand new tires too, just got them a few months ago," she scratched her forehead and sighed.
"I mean this is kinda the perfect place to get a flat," he shrugged and walked around the car.
Two guys on motorcycles pulled up, obviously trying to get it but her car was in the way.
"I'm sorry, I'm trying to find my dad." The skinny blonde looked at the guys.
"Somethin wrong?" This guy was blonde too, bright blue eyes and long hair.
"My tire decided to explode. I'm sorry." She tried to laugh, these guys where honestly scary.
She thought maybe they where going to shoot her until she heard the second blonde laugh.
"Sac pull her car in. We'll get it fix. What's your name?"
He placed a hand on her shoulder, leading her further into the lot. It was obvious she was a child, she looked like hell.
"Talia. I don't have any more to give you. I only had enough for gas money." She was nervous.
"Where you coming from?" He asked.
"Oregon. I drove straight here." The man was impressed.
"Said these tires where new?" She nodded her head.
"My mom got them for me."
"Well they aren't brand new, looks like they where second hand. Explains why it "exploded"," he did finger quotes, mocking her.
Part of her was glad this guy was so nice, she didn't have it in her to fight with a stranger but she also didn't think she had the balls to fight a guy with leather on his back.
"What brings you to town?" He asked again, so full of questions.
"Mom passed away. Cancer. Looking for my dad, she told me he lives out here with some gang." She folded her arms and looked over her shoulder to see her car.
It was hot, she was wearing a black jacket. It didn't help that her already thick hair was under a black beanie. She probably smelled like cigarettes and car farts.
"Can I have some water? Or does that get added onto the bill?" She was joking about the bill part.
The man laughed, waving his hand. She followed after him.
Walking into the building she didn't feel bad for the way she smelled. That place smelled like weed, sex, and gun powder. She looked around but her eyes stopped on one man.
The guy who she was talking to tried getting her attention, her lack of response for the others to look at them.
"Harry Winston?" She didn't know what her father looked like but she had a feeling it was him.
"Who wants to know?" He replies, setting down his drink. Why would a kid know who he is?
"I'm your daughter."
The blonde she was with was shocked, looking at his best-friend with a look of confusion. Everyone in the room was confused. It was their luck this would happen.

She and Opi we're currently sitting outside on the farthest picnic table. His jacket was on the table and his head was in his hands. She played with her jacket strings and looked down.
"Are you sure it's me?" He looked up, whipping his mouth.
"You were fifteen, prom night with your girlfriend Tanya. She moved a few months later to Oregon cuz her dad got a new job. Sound familiar?" That was the story her mom had told her.
And her whole life all her mother talked about was her father. How she looked like him, even though it had been years since they spoke.
"She didn't tell you because she wasn't sure she was going to keep me. But once she had me she had already lost contact with you. Spent the rest of her life hating herself for not telling you."
Opi frowned. Tanya had been his first love, had he of known his whole life would be different. And maybe Donna would've still been alive.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"Talia Lee Winston. They thought I was going to be a boy. Turns out I just had a really big toe," this got a chuckle out of him.
"I don't mean to disrupt your life, she passed recently and I just wanted to be with someone who was blood ya know? Im looking for houses around town but I don't have enough money yet so I was going to stay at the hotel down town-,"
Opi waved his hands, "No. You can stay here at the club house it's much safer."
Talia nodded. "I don't want to step on any toes, I just-" she sighed, her eyes watering.
"Need family?" Opie asked, he could understand what she was feeling.
Loosing someone you've known your whole life, feeling all alone, needing family around. He gets it.
"Yeah.." she nodded her head, it was obvious to them both that she needed to be here.
—————-
Word about her spread faster than she thought, she was greeted by a really sweet older woman while Opie was in talking with the guys.
"Hey sweetheart, what's your name?" She was scary, but definitely really sweet.
"Talia," she sniffled a bit, pulling on her jacket a bit more as she was lead to a seat.
"I'm Gemma, and let me be the first to welcome you to the family," she whispered the last part and gave a gaint smile.
"Thank you."
"If you need anything just let me know." She winked at the girl and then left, greeting the guys at the door as they walked out.
An old man, with short grey hair walked up to her, Opie and that blonde from before not too far behind him.
"My names Clay," he paused for a moment waiting for her name, he has to of been the most scary one.
"Talia, sir." some of the guys chuckled.
"Do you know anything about cars or motorcycles ?" He asked.
"Yeah, I used to work with my unlce at his shop back in Oregon." Clay nodded.
"You in school?" He asked.
"I'm a senor, have half a year left. Was going to transfer out here once I was settled in." He was impressed with how much she had in order considering everything Opie just told her.
"Welcome home kid. I'll have Half-Sacc and Melissa help you get settled in." Clay motioned to the first blonde guy that helped her, he was Half-Sacc- and to a beautiful blonde girl, she was Melissa.
