My Only Sunshine

Chapter 27

It's been a week since my father had died. I had David and Jacob bothering me every single day. They even bothered me around the club which was slightly surprising but annoying, none the less. I had begun bartending more often because I needed an outlet. At this moment, it was during the day so most of the guys were in the garage. 

I sat at the picnic table as Donna and the kids stopped by. The work day was almost over but it hadn't quite finished yet so the kids were done school. "Aunt Hadley!" Kenny called as he hugged me tightly. 

"Hey bud! How was school?" I asked with a smile. He was so excited to tell me about his science project. It made me so happy to see him happy.

"In the end, I am going to make it blow up!" My eyes lit up as he said that. "That is so cool Kenny!" 

He was smiling brightly and I looked over at Ellie, "How was school hunny?" 

She looked down at her feet but tried to fake a smile. "It was okay." I just nodded, not wanting to pressure her in front of Kenny and Donna, just in case. That's when David and Jacob showed up on the lot. I took a deep breath as they walked over to Donna, the kids, and me. 

"Hadley, where is our father?" I shrugged. "I don't know." 

"You're lying to me!" Jacob snapped and took a step forward like he was going to attack until David grabbed him. I stepped in front of the kids, just in case. 

"I don't know where he is and I don't care." I said, trying to get them to leave. 

"Hadley, you're lying to us!" David began his lecture. "You need to come home, dad wanted you home!" 

"Our fucked up father didn't give a shit about me!" I was beginning to have enough of this harassment. 

"He wanted you home for whatever reason and you should respect that!" Jacob raised his voice at me. 

"No. I won't do what he wants. I am done." I tried to remain calm but what Jacob did next, cost me my patience. 

"You're not done until I say so!" Jacob raised his hand and backhanded me across the face. My head whipped to the side as the smack echoed through the lot. "Aunt Hadley!" Ellie cried. Donna rushed the kids to the garage and grabbed everyone which was Jax, Opie, Chibs, Bobby, Happy, Juice, and Clay. 

"Jax! Jacob just hit Hadley!" I heard Donna say loudly. 

I lost it, I threw a punch at Jacob, which hit him in the nose. I heard a crunch and blood spurted from his nose. David went to grab me to hold me back but Jax took a swing before he could grab me. I went to go and punch Jacob again but Opie grabbed me. "Don't ever lay your hands on her again!" Jax was furious. 

Happy took another shot at Jacob before he stepped away. "Don't ever touch my sister again." Happy spat. 

David looked over at Opie who had a hold of me, but I wasn't struggling against and then at Happy. "She's not your sister! She's my sister. What Jacob did was out of line and I apologize." 

"I'm not your god damn sister anymore!" I screeched as I began to struggle against Opie. Opie was struggling to hold on when Jacob got up and went to step towards me. 

"We are still siblings, whether you want us or not." Jacob stepped forward again, but Happy stepped in front of me. 

"Back off Hale. She's our family now." Happy's voice was lethal. The anger and rage dripped off every word he said. I took in the scene, Jax stared at Happy with a slight smile even in the circumstances unfolding. Jax was livid but he was grateful for the rest of the club fighting for his old lady. 

Chibs stood by my side, the scariest I had ever seen him. His arms were crossed and if Happy had moved and Jacob tried to hit me again, I think Chibs would have broken his hand. Opie's grip on me lessened with Happy standing in front of me. Tig, Clay, Bobby, and Juice just took everything in, observing the situation. 

"Hadley, we just want to find our father." David pleaded. 

"I don't know where he is." I snapped at them. "I don't know and I don't care! I don't keep tabs on him." 

"You're lying!" Jacob tried to yell over Happy's shoulder. 

"Stop talking to my old lady like that." Jax snarled as he clenched his fist. 

"Oh look, little whore needs all of her fuck buddies to fight her battles for her." Jacob snapped but the smirk was plastered on his face. 

"THAT IS IT!" I yelled, before Opie could grab me again, I moved around Happy and took another shot at Jacob. I punched him in the jaw again. No one stopped me this time. I heard his jaw crunch under the force of the punch and I knew his jaw was broken.

He held his face in pain. "She broke my jaw!" Jacob yelled. 

"And?" David questioned, raising his eyebrow. 

"She's faithful to Jax. You do nothing but talk down to her and call her a liar. We shouldn't even be questioning her, it's the club we should question." I rolled my eyes as David tried to stand up for me. 

"Yeah, well as far as we know, he's alive and well and could be anywhere." I said, as the guys nodded. Jacob rolled his eyes. 

"Yeah, okay. Like we'd believe a conniving bitch like you!" Jacob put me down more.

"I'm gonna smash his fucking skull next if he doesn't shut the fuck up!" I stared David down. 

"Hadley, just tell us what you know!" David tried to step in. 

"I don't know anything, I've been here!" I was getting tired of defending myself. 

"Well what about your," He paused and gestured to Jax. "thing?" 

"Hey, I'm her old man! And me and the rest of these guys were here drinking all night." Jax gave him a signature smile before the guys agreed. "Yeah right, he's probably in a shallow grave because of you." 

"Oh please. Do you really think we would even try that with you dickheads on my doorstep every single fucking day? I don't want you here. Killing that idiot means you would be around more often and I don't want that." David shrugged, believing the words I spat out. 

"She makes a good point." The guys nodded, not giving anything away.

"I'm sure he'll turn up alive somewhere." Jacob said as they finally decided to turn and walk away.

"Fuck me. I hope they leave us alone from now on." I stated as I stepped over to Jax. They all unanimously nodded.

"Those idiots are annoying." Donna said while Gemma agreed as they walked over.
