The Past Returns Jax Teller love story

Chapter 2

Andy wanted to get out of the station as soon as she can, she knew Frank was going to write her up for being insubordinate and against her partner. She just didn't want to deal with it or anyone else. Going to the Penny was not on her agenda for day. She knew that Opie and Jax had to be around waiting for her somewhere, she just needed to know where.

"Andy, hey, ready for the Penny?" Nick asked and came up to her throwing his arm over her shoulder.

"Sorry, Nick but not tonight." She said rushing to head out.

"If anyone needs a drink tonight it's you, come on with us. Even Tracy's coming."

"No thanks, another night. There's somethings I have to do."

"Does this have anything to do with Marlo and the bikers?" Nick asked concerned.

"Nick, I just have to go visit my dad and spend some time on family stuff ok?" Andy said getting annoyed. She was a big girl, she can shoot a gun, make her own decisions, not have to make excuses for herself. When did she become this baby that men like Luke, Nick and Sam felt needed saving all the time. Like she was not strong to handle her own or make up her own mind.

"McNally." Frank called her from behind while Andy sighed and muttered "thanks a lot Nick", before turning around.

"Yes sir."

"You and I need to talk."

"Sir, I'm exhausted, it's been a long day.

"First thing tomorrow McNally." Frank said to her as Andy nodded and took off for home not allowing Nick or anyone else to halt her again.

Andy made it home in record time. Instead of walking she grabbed a cab, not wanting to waste time or anyone to see her walking and wanting to give her a lift. She juggled her keys trying to open her door and hold onto her bag when her front door opened. Startling Andy and making her jump.

"Jesus Christ Opie. You scared the shit out of me."

"You're welcome cuz," he said grabbing her bag and dropping it on the floor. Before scooping her up in a bear hug. "I've missed you." He was such a big brother to her when she lived in Charming, they were her true real family she's only ever had. Brothers, sisters, uncles, a mother, a boyfriend she loved.

"I've missed you too, so much. I'm so sorry about Donna." Andy sighed hugging him tighter as Jax stood up up from her sofa where they both had been sitting with beers watching her television. He looked on with a suspicious at how she held onto Opie. He always was to smart for his own good. She could tell already Jax knew she wasn't as happy here as her father probably told Uncle Piney.

"Hey, what about me?" Jax said making the 2 let go of each other as he swaggered over to her. Andy walked right into Jax's arms. Him engulfing her and it just felt like coming home. Like she was at a peace she hadn't felt for so long and had been looking for in Toronto for so long. She didn't want to let go, so she just looked up at him. "I've missed you too." She whispered before leaning up and kissing him on the cheek.

"Same to you Drea." Andy smiled at her 'Charming' nick name. Jax didn't like Andrea and he didn't like Andy, so when they first met when they were 14, he started calling her 'Drea' and it just stuck. Everyone in Charming didn't know Andrea or Andy, they knew Drea. The bad ass teenager who fell hard and fast for the future President of Sons of Anarchy. The bad ass teen that could shoot just as good as any of them in the club and back them up in a shoot out. Andy really missed that girl.

She had no intentions of ever returning to Toronto, but when she was 17 and just about to finish Charming High. Her father was getting in more and more trouble with his drinking and she ended up returning to take care of him and do what he wanted of her, follow in his footsteps. Sacrificing her life for his, she was just supposed to come for a visit but he didn't end up getting sober for a very long time.

"I see you two have made yourself at home?" Andy smirked as she looked around to ashtray, the beers and chips scattered around."

"We ordered pizza even" Opie laughed nodding to the box on the counter.

"But of course we waited for you to eat. Family dinner." Jax added.

"Always the gentleman." She smiled. "I'm starving, let's eat and catch up!" She smiled looking at them with her first carefree genuine smile she's had in so long.

"Oh my god." Andy laughed at the story about Trig and Halfsack that Opie was telling her.

"I so need to meet this Halfsack, he sounds like such fun."

"You could always have come home." Jax threw in quietly. Causing Opie and Andy to look at him. Opie could tell this was going in a direction he didn't want to be apart of.

"Hey cuz, mind if I shower and take a nap. We have a long ride tomorrow."

"Of course no, towels in the bathroom and the guest room is to the right of the bathroom." Opie headed in that direction while Andy started picking up the dishes.

"You guys never said if you were coming or going." Andy said to try and deflect the conversation.

"Going. We had a delivery, did it and are headed back to Charming now." Jax told her as he helped clear the table.

"That's a long drive back and forth."

"Well, it's been a bit crazy at the clubhouse since Donna. Opie and I both volunteered and needed the time on the road."

"I'm sorry, about Donna. I didn't know until a few weeks ago. I wanted to come but Uncle Piney told me things were unsettled and it would be better if I stayed put and not get involved."

"Good advice, things are tense. But you want to stop avoiding the topic and making it all about us? I know what you're doing. You're not happy here are you, job, relationships, what's going on with you Drea? Don't lie to me."

Andy sighed and looked up at Jax from her loading of the dishwasher. Looking at his handsome face and into his eyes, I never could lie to him.

She walked around him and sat on the sofa, picking up her beer and drinking it before passing it to him as he sat next to her.

"I left for 6 months. That's why I didn't know about Donna. I was undercover, I was restless and needed to just get out of here and prove myself. I just came back a month ago and still feel lost. I don't know."

"The dark haired cop that was staring at us from the glass window." Jax said trying to connect the dots, Andy rolled her eyes and Jax knew he was right.

"It ended 2 months before I left, things got difficult, he ended it, and I tried but then I left. My pleasant partner, he's been dating her for months."

"You have any vacation time?" Jax asked as Andy snapped her head up.

"What?"

"Vacation time? Do you have any? Unsettled and tense or not, I think you should come home Andy, come back to Charming. Find yourself, spend some time with Piney, the kids, Opie. The girl that laughed and enjoyed beer and stories with us tonight was not the same girl I saw at that police station and you can't keep running off on undercover jobs trying to find her. It's not safe."

Andy nodded her head in agreement.

"I have some vacation time." She smiled at him.

"Good." Jax smiled as he took another swig of beer bottle.
