well hello indeed
Rory: I’ll step out and give you guys some time to consider everything.
{The boys continued to sit in a stunned silence}
Rory: …I’m sorry.
{Rory shut the door behind her as the boys looked at one another}
Clay: Did you know?
Opie: We both knew.
Piney: And you didn’t think we should have been told sooner?
{Piney glared at Opie and Jax before meeting Clay’s eyes in equal disgust}
Bobby: This whole time we were pressing her about Belfast and that’s why she didn’t want to go back?
Tig: Jesus Christ. We practically pushed her right back into reliving it.
Juice: That’s why she kept acting like I would change my mind about her…b-because she was raped.
[Everyone’s eyes fell on Chibs who still sat silently in his chair]
Jax: Look, we all want the bastard to pay for what he did to Rory but the only person that has any say in sharing how he dies needs to make the choice…Chibs?
Chibs: …my Rory girl.
{Chibs choked out in a quiet disbelief before slamming his fist down on the table spiraling into a rage}

{Rory stops cleaning to see who is calling her phone before forwarding the call}
Rory: Stop calling please.
Opie: Juice again?
{Rory goes back to cleaning and Opie sighs}
Rory: Just drop it Op. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. I’m already nervous enough.
Opie: Rory if you honestly think he’s going to change his mind about you because you were raped then he doesn’t deserve you anyway.
Rory: From where I’m standing I think that might be the other way around.
{Opie shook his head knowing that Rory was as stubborn as always}
Opie: Maybe you should have more faith in him.
Rory: I have faith in all humans but at the end of the day that’s all we are. Human. No human wants someone who is as torn apart as I am.
Opie: Rory-
{Rory stopped what she was doing but didn’t meet Opie’s gaze}
Rory: Opie…please. Don’t make this any harder.

P.S I’m cutting the “Season 3 Finale” chapter in half.
We all know there was a lot in that episode and I want to give it all the attention it deserves but they will both be hefty chapters. Promise :)
Otto: I can get to Lenny and have him connect with the Russians but he already dropped a line on me a few weeks ago about an inquiry of his own.
Bobby: What’s going on?
Otto: Well it would seem he got wind of Rory dating a patched member of the home charter and he was less then pleased.
{Both Clay and Bobby knew Lenny would find out eventually but they hadn’t worried about it until now}
Clay: Rory’s a big girl. There isn’t much we could really do to stop her from dating. She’s not a kid anymore.
Otto: Yeah well Lenny is a little caught on the fact that the guys named after a kid’s drink and there’s some rumors about some guy named Dion?
{Bobby laughed and Clay let out a frustrated sigh}
Clay: What does he want us to do? She could do a lot worse then Juice. Trust me.
Otto: Yeah he could be named after deli meat.
Bobby: Lenny doesn’t want us to off the guy right? I mean he’s our intelligence officer and a brother.
Otto: Nah he wants his birth name. Said he’d look into him himself. You know Lenny. He’s trying to make up for not being around all her life by being a father now.
{Otto explained but Clay took it personally that Lenny didn’t think Rory was being taken care of}
Clay: For those of us that were around would never let her be with someone who would put her in any danger. We promised him we’d take care of her and we have.
Otto: That must be a joke. Being with a member is practically a death sentence for any Old Lady. Luann is proof of that.
{A silence surrounded Otto’s chuckle at Clay’s words knowing the club had made that same promise to him regarding Luann}
