Fear The Reaper

Chapter Two

* I am going to do a little time jump, not much but I really want to get this story going.*

As the years went on I watched this club struggle. From losing my little brother Thomas to the family flaw, to losing my dad which caused my first stint in juvie because I went a little crazy, got drunk and caused did a little bit of vandalism.
Needless to say my mom wasn't really happy with me, but I was lost. I lost my best friend in the whole wide world, my dad was my rock and now he was gone I didn't see a purpose to behave.

We lost members, either they died or went to prison. One in particular was Otto, my poor aunt Louann was devastated. Her husband was facing a lengthy prison sentence and she wasn't holding up, me neither. It felt like I lost my dad all over again, and landed in juvie once more.
My mom was at her wit's end with me and my behavior, this didn't look good for the club either. ATF was constantly sniffing around and me behaving like I was didn't look all that great.

I was just lost and needed to find a purpose, and I found it. I decided I wanted to be a member of the club. I was royalty damn it and I was going to join one way or another. I just needed to start acting right and go to my step dad Clay and since he was our current President, I thought why the hell not.

See Clay became our club's president after my dad died, everyone thought he was the right one for the job. Piney's health wasn't all that great, so he decided to step down and just be the VP, and Clay stepped up. Also he helped my mom through my father's death and they grew closer, and they eventually got married.

I was sitting in the Clubhouse one day cleaning up after one of the parties, I usually didn't do the cleaning but I needed the distraction and was trying to get back on my mother's good side. I was trying her patience and it was wearing thin.
So I also went to the office and got it organized and ready for her to start her day and not be so stressed. I felt bad for how I was acting and I missed talking to my mom. We might not see eye to eye on most things but I missed my mama.

" Hey Mom, coffee's ready, paperwork is filed and the clubhouse is clean." I told her as she walked in. She put her purse down and said
" Thank you baby girl, I really appreciate your help, how are you feeling?" She asked
" I am getting there, just trying to process everything. Look mom I am so sorry for how I have been acting, I just miss dad, Thomas and Otto. It just been hard on me and I know that I haven't been the best daughter right now but I will make it up to you." I said as my eyes were tearing up.

" Oh baby I am not mad at you disappointed but not mad. I understand that you are upset, and you process shit differently." She said as she kissed my forehead and went to start her day.
As I was sitting in the office helping my mom I noticed a black Cutlass pull in and immediatly recognized it as Tara's. See she was my brothers girlfriend and I didn't like her one bit. She tried to change my brother, tried to get him to leave the club. She wasn't Old Lady material, did not understand the life. But my brother was stupid enough to put his Crow on her.
I didn't see what he saw in her, she thought it was jealousy because she got my brothers attention, but that wasn't it, I just didn't like her. My brother was a grown man, stupid at times but smart.

I happened to look up from the paperwork to see Tara slap my brother across the face and started to walk to her car, boy I was seeing red. You don't slap my brother and get away with it. So I walked over to him and he was crying.

" Hey bub you want to talk about it, or do I need to kick her ass?" I asked him and he said,
" Yeah, let's go to the roof and talk about it." He started to walk towards the Clubhouse. I followed behind and we climbed up to the roof. This is where we always went to talk or clear our heads.

" Tara got a scholarship for a school in Chicago and wanted me to go with her. Just wanted me to up and leave my club." He said. Him and Opie, who is Piney's son was recently patched in members.
" Really, wow just wanted you to just up and leave? Man I'm sorry bub, that sucks. Explains why she slapped you, must not liked your response." I said and he nodded his head in agreement.

We sat there some more and then I broke the silence and said,
" Hey Jackson." I usually call him by his full name if I am about to be serious.
" Yes Riley." He said
" I want to be a member, I want to Prospect for the Club. I have every right to be a member, I just don't want to be handed my Kutte, I want to earn it. I can handle a gun and ride a bike. We need the bodies bub." I said.

He sat there and thought about what I just said, he thought the same way. I did have every right to be a part of the club, I was John's kid and I grew up around the club.
He was going to bring it up to the Club anyway at Church today, he knew we needed the bodies. The Nomad's would come and help out but we needed more.

" I agree Riley, I will take it to the Club and see what they say. What is going to work in your favor is you have finally calmed down and finally acting right." He said, and I agreed.

Just then some of the Nomad's pulled in and I noticed one was the Infamous Tacoma Killer, one Happy Lowman and my sites were set on him. He was so sexy, and I could see me being tangled in the sheets with him.
I never really paid attention to the members of the club because I didn't see them in a sexual way but since he showed up I was hooked. He never treated me like a Croweater and wasn't afraid to talk to me.

Jackson took me out of my trans and we left the roof and went into the clubhouse and Church was called and I sat and waited for it to end, to see if I was going to be a Prospect or not.
