Mass Destruction

Chapter 50

"I have to tell you something and I think you're going to be pissed" Corrie starts the conversation about her depression. The Teller family got home an hour ago with the promise that Jax doesn't have club business to handle for the day. It's nice to have him all to herself for an entire day. Abel also enjoys having his father around, the two have been playing football; Jax fixed stuff around the house and Abel helped him; and the family watched a movie together before Abel went to bed.

The couple is now sitting outside by the pool on the loungers Corrie bought a few weeks ago, her legs are perched on his lap as he strokes them with his fingers.

"Hell babe, that's reassuring."

Corrie smiles and grabs his hand bringing it closer to her mouth for a kiss. "When Ope died I uh, I spiralled a bit. You weren't there and everything with Donna and my dad and Opie... it just blew up in my face. I uh, I went to the doctor and he prescribed medicine for me as well as therapy sessions every week. It's been helping me to cope with everything."

"You're depressed?"

"I was" She explains gawking at the expression on his face consisting of pure agony and confusion. "I felt alone, my family all got murdered, my mom wanted nothing to do with me and you were gone Jax. All I had was Abel. I needed to talk things out with someone"

Jax swallows as tears of rage form in his crystal blue eyes. He smirks bitterly, "I'm the son of a bitch that left you and then slapped you when you were going through the same shit I did"

He gently pushes her legs of his laps and stands up, Corrie frowns as she sits up straight. "Where are you going Jackson?"

"Opie died because of me; Donna died because of my club; Piney died because of my father's letters. Everyone is dead because of me and my girl is freaking depressed because of my goddamn actions." He yells. He storms into the house and rubs his face as angry tears fall down his cheeks.

Corrie follows him in shortly, "None of the shit that happened was because of you Jax!"

"Everything happened because of me" He argues, "I'm sorry I dragged you into this shit. I think it will be better if we just quit this"

Corrie scoffs and pulls on his arm as he turns to leave, "Quit this? Are you freaking kidding me? We are not quitting anything Teller. I love you so goddamn much from your stupid grin to the flannel shirts you think goes with everything. I don't need you throwing a fit because I got depressed over my murdered family. It's got nothing to do with you, it's been coming a long time and I'd be surprised after the shit that happened that I didn't get depressed."

His pissed off demeanour vanishes when she hugs him tightly. He calms down in her embrace letting his eyes flutter close when she presses a kiss to his forehead.

"I love you Jax, so much. We'll never quit this Jax because I can't freaking live without you. You and Abel are all I've got and I don't ever want to lose that. I'm going to marry you and we're going to be together forever."

Jax beams and nods his head as Corrie wipes away the tears on his face, "I love you. I'm sorry I freaked out"

"It's okay; you've always been a bit of a diva"

Jax smirks and kisses her lips.

"Wait" He pauses "My flannel shirts do go with everything"

"Of course it does darling"
