Freak Show (Eminem) [✔]

Chapter Thirty Five

         Marshall was becoming restless. He had been writing songs all day almost every day, but didn't have anything he could do with them. We had an in home studio, but it wasn't the same as the one with Dre and everyone. He missed them, I could tell. I just wished it was easier for us here than it was there. Except, now it's not as easy. I had gotten a call from Gemma a couple days ago, telling me Opie, Jax, Chibs and Tig had been arrested. I wanted to know why, but instead of getting into business that really wasn't important, I just shook it off. It was known as club business after all.

      Lori was officially three months old, and Whitney was now two. Her birthday was last week. We celebrated with a big party at the house, before taking her to Fun Town. I kept an eye on the girls every second, after I was told what had happened to Elliot Oswald's daughter, Tristan, a couple years ago at Fun Town. I knew they had killed the clown, but that didn't make me feel any better. I know it seems stupid for me to bring the girls to somewhere I didn't feel completely safe, but Marshall, as well as the whole club and the ol' ladies where there, and their children, so the kids were more than safe.

       Anyhow, I had officially lost all of my baby weight, and I was able to wear all of my favorite outfits again. I even bought myself a few new outfits just for the fact that I had lost the weight so I could wear them again. Honestly, I was proud of myself. When I was younger, I hated my body, so I always tried to keep myself small, but now, I didn't care how I looked, though skinny was my forte. As I was getting dressed after taking a much needed shower, my phone started to ring. So, I grabbed it and answered once I seen it was Gemma who was calling me.

K- Hey Gem

G- The boys will be back in about an hour. Just thought you'd like to see them.

K- Okay, I'll be there.

"I'm going to the clubhouse to welcome the boys back. I'll be back soon." I told Marshall, and he nodded.

      We shared a simple kiss, before I threw on my shoes. I headed out to my car, before driving to the clubhouse. I sat on the picnic table with Gemma, waiting for them to get back. About twenty minutes later, a black van pulled up, opening the back to reveal Jax first. I stood waiting for Opie, before Jax walked over.

"Kori, I need to talk to you." Jax said, as I looked around him.

"Why? Where's Opie? Jax, where's Op?" I asked, before he looked down.

"Listen, I need you to listen completely to me right now. Damon Pope was the reason we were in jail. Tig accidentally killed Pope's pregnant daughter, so Pope wanted revenge. He killed Dawn in front of Tig, made his sit there and watch as they burned her alive. Tig was supposed to be the one to get beat to death, but Opie took the fall instead." Jax stated, as I began to cry.

"Jax-you've got to be lying to me." I cried, and he shook his head with tears in his own eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Kori. I'm so sorry." I said, as his voice cracked.

"This is all your fault! I hate you! I should murder you myself! You're a waste of space! I hope they kill you next you piece of shit! I'm going to beat the hell out of you for what happened to Opie!" I screamed, as I started hitting Tig.

     Jax pulled me back, into his chest, as I struggled to get away. I cried harder, as my fight began to stop. I collapsed to the ground, sobbing my heart out, as Jax held me to him. I could feel tears falling on to my hair from him, and I knew he was hurting too.

"I'm sorry, Kori." He whispered, as I tried to stop the heavy tears.

"Jax, I told you guys this would happen. I told you guys to be more careful, now look where that got Opie. You need to be careful Jax, or you'll end up just like he did." I said, as Jax nodded.

"I know, I know, and I'm sorry we didn't listen." He replied, before I wiped my eyes.

"I'm leaving with my family. We're going back to Detroit. I can't chance them getting hurt, Jax." I whimpered, as Jax stared at me.

"What about Kenny and Ellie?" He asked, and I sighed.

"Lyla hated me ever since she met me, and those kids haven't paid any attention to me since my baby shower. They won't miss me, at least, Lyla won't let them. I-I'll keep up with them, but that's it. I'll come back for them if something happens." I said, and he sighed as well.

"What about Abel and Thomas? They love you." Jax questioned, and I looked up at him.

"I'll always be a phone call away if the boys need me. I love them, and so do the girls. I have to leave, there's nothing left here for my family. It's dangerous. The sooner you figure that out, the sooner your family will be completely safe, as will my niece and nephew, if Lyla leaves." I stated, as Jax looked away.

"Just go. Leave behind the family that needs you." He spat, and I shook my head.

"I'm sorry you think I should be more concerned about you, than my family's safety. I'm not your second choice anymore Jax. I have a family, and so do you. I don't come at your call, like I did when you were with Wendy. Just-just get over your self centeredness, before it gets everyone you've ever cared about hurt or killed." I stated, before walking away.

      I got back into my car and drove home, before sitting in the car and crying my eyes out. I banged my hands on the steering wheel, letting loud sobs come from my mouth. After about ten minutes, I stepped out of the car and went inside.

"Hey baby, I-woah! What's wrong?!" Marshall started, before he seen my tears.

"Opie's dead, and it's all the club's fault." I replied, telling him the story Jax had told me, plus more from before, such as Tig killing Donna.

"Oh, Kori. I'm so sorry." He cooed, and I sighed.

"I just want to leave and never come back." I stated, and he nodded.

      He called the girls down, before telling them what happened. They cried for Opie, before going and starting to pack up their rooms. After a few hours of packing, we had everything we wanted packed up. I texted Tara, telling her everything, before telling her to donate the rest of our stuff in the house to charity, before I put our house up for sale. We piled into our vehicles, Cela, Lori and Whitney in my car, whilst Emi, Lanie and Hailie rode with Marshall. We drove away from Charming, never planning to ever look back...

A/N: I hope you guys liked this chapter. I know you guys probably didn't expect the end of the chapter to be so rushed, but that's what had to happen to get them out of Charming.

Love you guys!
