truth and lies

chapter 2

I had only been back in Charming for a week and had managed to stay low the thought of going and seeing the club hadn't crossed my mind yet. Until I seen Opie and Jaxs drive down the road earlier. I seen him I've been affording Opie more than the club I know I crushed him when I left I just couldn't tell him goodbye,. I sat on my front porch a cigarette in one hand and my keys in the other. Arguing with myself on if I should finally let the club know I'm not dead and in Charming. God help me for the shit I'm about to unleash,

I pull into Teller-Morrow to see no cars or bikes in the lot wondering where everyone is I walk into the clubhouse to see half-sack behind the bar, he knew who I was the minute he seen me. Sweet mother of god look who's not dead. Hi half-sack nice to see you to is the guys here? No they went on a run they should be back any minute. Okay thanks half I'll just wait for them in the chapel don't let them know I'm here please. Um yeah okay.
Its weird being back in here it still smells like booze, smokes, and pussy. Which was always a lovely combination I walked around the room remembering sitting on my fathers lap during church feeling like on of the big guys I was always a daddy's girl, god I missed him so much. I heard a loud thud that pulled me out of my day dream it lead to screams it sounded like Tig. I burst threw the chapel doors to see tig laying on the pool table with a bullet threw his shoulder. The room had gotten quite everyone's eyes were on me. Out of all the things I could've said I say 'hi' and at that moment Tig broke the silence 'Um I have a bullet in my shoulder would anyone care to take it out' we all turned to him confused on what the hell just happened jaxs old lady Tara helps Tig with his wound and I get pushed back into the chapel by the rest of the gang. I knew this wasn't going to be good. The look on everyone's face was horrifying I didn't know what to say or do. Someone talk please I can't stand the looks everyone is giving.
Chibs: where the hell have you been? Huh its been two years Casey we didn't know where you were?
All I can say is I'm sorry. I left because I couldn't take the pain of losing my family everything reminded me of them the house, the club, everything I didn't know what else to do. I'm sorry I scared everyone, I couldn't hold the pain in anymore I lost all control and broke down in tears. With my hands in my face I feel someone touch me the whole gang had started to hug me. We're glad you're okay darlin' thanks Chibs yeah we're glad you're home no more running off. You got that? Yeah I got it.
