Mioving had NOT been on the top Taras to do list. In fact she remembers begging her father -for 2 weeks- not to leave at all. She had lost that argument just like all others. Ever since her mom passed away a few years back her father never listened to a word she said. She didnt care though, she actually prefered it that way. With her father basically non existent she could concentrate on what she loved to do. Write. Tara had wanted to be a writer for as long as she could remember. It flowed for her, came as naturally as breathing. She was working on her first novel which was a big reason why she didnt want to move. She had been working with her English literature teacher for weeks making sure her chapters where edited and spell checked. She had 3 chapters done when her dad dropped the bombshell about the move. All he told her was that her aunt in Charming California needed some help. So just like that -im the middle of her sophomore year- they had packed up their house and left 2 weeks later.

Tara had never been to charming before. Her Aunt Laura and her cousin Donna had always came to visit her in san Diego claiming they just wanted to get out of their small town. Tara had always enjoyed these visits. Her Laura seemed to sober her dad up enough for it to be bearable around him. Her cousin Donna was one of Taras bestfriends. She loved her like her sister. That was the only upside to this move. For 2 weeks Tara and Donna were glued to the phone. Donna filled Tara in on everything charming. The school, the hang out spots and the who's who in charming. Donna even told her a little about an MC that were the apparent "protectors" of the town. What ever that meant. She also told her about a crush she had for a certain "bad boy" who she hadnt worked up the courage to talk to yet. Tara tried to be excited but she hated leaving everything and everyone she knew for a new life. She looked up and out the passenger side window just in time to see the 'Welcome To Charming' sign. finally, she thought to herself. They had been on the road for almost 2 days. Her father thought it absolutely necessary to stop at a bar threw almost every town. She had stayed at the motel while he got wasted. He stumbled in around 3am slept it off then got back on the road. When her mother passed away Tara had been 8. It had been hard for her but instead of grieving Tara had been growing. Instead of grieving her father had turned into a drunk and junkie. Looking for his next fix to get away from the pain he felt everyday. He stopped talking to her stopped being a father so in turn Tara turned to the only thing she knew how to do. Write. That was her outlit.

She looked over at her father and saw his hands to long since his last drink, she thought. She watched as he pulled into the driveway of their new home. A simple 1 story 2 bed room 2 bath room house. She looked around as she got out. There was a park across the street. She smiled as she saw kids running and playing around. There was a large willow tree across the park where she could picture herself sittinf under and writing away. Her thoughts where suddenly interrupted by a slamming door she looked back and saw her father heading into the house a bottle already in his hand. Her aunt Laura had told her they set the house up with furniture so they only thing they needed to bring was personal gave her father the perfect excuse to skip out of un packing and head for the couch. She sighed heavily and reached in the car for her book bag. She could wait to un pack to she just wanted to relax and see What Donna had done to her bed room.

"Tara! Your here!" She heard Donna Yell From the next house over. think of the devil and she shall appear, she laughed.

"Hey cousin! Yup im here!" She ran to her cousin as her cousin to her, both hugging eachother fiercely.

"Im so glad you're here! You have no idea how excited i am to always have you around now!"Donna grinned wildly.

"I Know Me to trust me! The only upside to this move is knowing your right next door." Tara was over joyed at having someone close by that was her age. It made everything alot easier on her. She didn't feel so alone now. Donna knew everything and never judged her excuse always had been hes my family to why would i judge anything he does. Its his life. If he wanna to waste it let him and do your own thing. she would shrug her shoulders and change the topic. Thats what she loved most about her cousin. She would make her see reason. They girls made their way over to taras room. Donna couldnt wait to show it to her. She had been talking about it all week without giving her any clues to what she did with it but as soon as Tara walked in she was mesmerized. It was absolutely perfect. The walls were painted a light purple -taras favorite color- there was white desk near the window to the left with a bunch of books on top and a desk light her queen sized bed sat in the middle with a bunch of fluffy throw pillows a bedside lamp and alarm clock on the sides of the bed. there was a white wooden treasure chest at the end of taras bed and a white dresser to the right. There were 2 doors on either side of her bed one led to a walk in closet and the other to taras bathroom. She was in heaven. Her room would be her sanctuary and it was absolutely perfect!

"Donna its perfect! Im speechless" she truly was speechless

"I know you spend alot of time in your room i wanted it to be something you would be comfortable in." She said sheepishly. Tara ran over to her and gave her a big hug and thanked her. Donna laughed and shrugged her off.

"Well there is a way that you can repay me" Donna looked at her mischievously.

"I didnt know this surprise was a favor" Tara rolled her eyes and laughed.

"What ever. Either way your coming with me ttonight" Donna laughed

"And where exactly are we going?" Tara asked

"To a party so dress to impress cousin".

Tara didnt know what to make of the party her cousin had invited her to. All she knew was that her cousins crush was going to be there. In all honesty Tara didnt mind she always liked a good party. She liked to let loose and just get lost in the music but the way Donna had described this party -at a placed called TM- as something that would rival a porn scene. She had said it would take some time to get used to. Tara however was ready for the challenge. She was told to think rocker princess when getting dressed so tara had choosen to wear tight light washed jeans that hugged her curves, a skin tight tank top tucked into her jeans, some knee high black boots and a black leather jacket. She curled her brown hair and ran her fingers threw it to make it a bit more wild threw some mascara eye liner and lip gloss on, grabbed her keys and walked out the door. Donna was waiting for her in her car and looking like a nervous wreck.

"Whats the matter with you?" Tara asked as she got in the car.

"Im just a little nervous. I really liked this guy tara. Hes " she took a deep breath "different. Sweet and a gentleman. Really nothing like the way people make him out to be" she shrugged and pulled out of the drive way. Donna had talked about this guy before. His name was harry winston opie as people liked to call him why? She didnt know but what she did know was that if donna liked him he must be a great guy and what she Donna didnt know was that her cousin was going to make sure. She ended up with her guy.

The arrived at TM about 10 mins later. Donna had parked on the street cause the lot was packed with people. Woman were hardly dressed and the men looked dangerous. They were wearing leather vest and they all seemed to have some kind of weapon on them. However, this seemed to only intrigue Tara not scare her away like she was sure many were. She grabbed on to Donna as they made their way indoors in search of Donnas eye candy. She stopped and pointed to the pool table where a large bear looking guy was shooting his next shot. "Thats Him." Donna whispered. Tara watched as he made his shot and grinned up at someone Taras eyes traveled up to said person. He was leaning up against the pool table and shaking his blonde hair. boy is he good looking, she thought to herself. He was pretty built for a teenage boy lean and mmuscular, ice blue and thousand watt smile that could possibly make girls weak in the knees. Tara tore her eyes off of the male god and turned to Donna. "Lets go play some pool" she smiled and started to walk over. Once she reached the pool table layed her hands on the ledge and raised her voice so the boys could hear her over the music. "I call winner" she yelled. Both boys looked at her. She caught blondies eyes as they traveled her body. She quickly glanced him over to noticing that her wore a blue flannel with a white tshirt underneath with some blue jeans and white sneakers. She normally didn't find guys like him attractive but there was just something about him that screamed at her.

He finally looked at her in her eyes and spoke "and who might you be?" He tucked his shoulde length blonde hair behind his ears and smiled. Thats when Donna stepped in.

"Boys this is my Cousin Tara. She just moved here from San Diego." Tara waved and sat on the table. The bear looking one stretched out his hand "hey Tara I'm Opie glad. You to could make it" he smiled down at Donna. That smile told Tara everything she needed to know. Opie liked Donna to and just like that Taras determination to get them together grew. Tara shook his hand and smiled "nice to meet you"

"Im Jackson Teller but people just call meJax" he extended his hand just like Opie had and she shook it and smiled "nice to meet you to"

"So" he began "you know how to play pool?" He asked. She smiled again and nodded " i have a couple of tricks up my sleeve" he smirked "what kind of tricks?" Tara threw her head backed and laughed before looking at him straight in those icy blue eyes of his and raised her eyebrow "the kind of tricks that not even your dreams can comprehend

"Is that so?" He grinned mischievously "well then maybe later you can show me a couple of things" he winked oh he's a bold one, she thought.

"Sorry playboy but your not my type" she laughed reaching for his beer and taking a sip.

He raised his eyebrows "you sure about that?" She looked him square in the eyes again "positive"

She saw him smirk at her.

She smirked back. let the games begin, she thought to herself.
