I was cleaning the gutters, hosing them down. I wore what I always wear while cleaning the gutters..

It was almost New Years, the snow melted and it was a little warm out now.
I groaned, I was by myself, Lucy was feeling ill today so she stayed in bed. I put on my gloves and picked up the rest of the dirty leaves.
"Hey, hot stuff!" I hear below me, I looked down, seeing that guy Andrew, he has two other friends with him. I gritted my teeth and decided to just ignore him, "Hey, I know you hear me."
"What do you want!?" I snapped at him, standing up, looking down at him and his friends.
"You!" He said, his friends snickered, "Why not just come down here and have a little fun with my friend and I, you'll be screaming all night, babygirl."
I cringed and was about to go inside through Mordecai and Rigby's bedroom window. But I stepped onto a went spot, making me slip. I screamed, grabbing onto the gutters.
"Fuck." I mumbled. The hose was still on and my hand slipped. I screamed but someone caught me, it was Andrew, "Thank you, now put me down." I said.
"No, I saved your life, so now you are gonna have to give me some lovin." I cringed and tried to get out of his arms, but he was stronger than me. Skips, Lucy, Mordecai, Rigby, Thomas, and Benson came outside.
"Tara, are you okay?" Thomas freaked, everyone paused when they see Andrew holding me, and me struggling.
"She's fine, lads. You can leave now." One of his friends said, he tugged on my hair, I growled at him.
"Bro, let her go, she's obviously uncomfortable." Mordecai said.
"No she doesn't." Andrew said, I growled and slapped him hard. He hissed and dropped me. I fell on my ass hard, I groaned.
One of his friends growled and grabbed, "You're gonna have to pay for that, whore." He said, I growled and spat at him. He punched me.
Skips ran up to him and hit him hard, all the boys began fighting. Andrew backed out and grabbed me. He got on top of me. All the memories of my ex began to hit. I closed my eyes, shaking in fear.
I noticed the weight was lifted off of me. Thomas pulled him off of me, and he punched him hard, and kicked him. Lucy ran up to me and helped me up, I hid my tears and we ran inside.
"Tara--"
"S-Spencer...." I stuttered.. Lucy frowned and hugged me.
"It's okay. I promise."
I cried and hugged her tightly, shaking violently. Everyone else walked inside with a few bruises, Benson sat down next to me.
"The old memories hit you again huh.." He said, placing a hand on my shoulder. I nodded slowly.
"It's okay, Tara, we chased that jerk out the park!" Rigby said, all cheerful. It didn't help me, I was still crying and shaking.
"Let's just get some rest." Lucy said and stood up, I followed her. I looked at Thomas before I followed her up the stairs, I smiled weakly at him, then walked down the stairs.
(Thomas' POV)
I watched her walked up the stairs with Lucy. I looked at Benson, "Benson? What do you mean 'old memories'?" I asked.
"Should we tell him?" Skips asked. Benson sighed.
"I think it's time to tell you, I've noticed you and Tamara have gotten close for these past few months." Benson said, "Tamara dated this older man named Spencer. He would physically abuse and rape her. We've noticed the change in her and wanted to help but she would push us away. She ended up breaking up with him because she caught him cheating on two girls at the same time. From that moment on, she started her addiction for weed, drugs, and alcohol, partying at a young age, lying about her age to get in them and such. She was never the same.. Before Spencer, she was very quiet, sober, and clean. Now she's more different."
I frowned, I was shocked.. Where ever this guy is, I'll kill him. Tara doesn't deserve any of that! She deserves real love.
//The next day\\
Tomorrow was New Years. I helped Skips, Benson, MuscleMan, Highfives, Mordecai, Rigby and Pops clean up the ball room we had at the park. Tara hasn't been out of her room yet. I'm getting pretty worried now..
Anyways, I sweep up the confetti we had at the last party. The doors opened, revealing Lucy, she has a tray of coffee, "Morning boys." She said, "I got coffee like you've asked."
"Sweet! Thank you Lucy." Benson said, "Just set it down at the table next to Thomas.
Lucy set it down, I looked at her, "How's Tara?" I asked. Lucy sighed and leaned on the table.
"No too good, has a hangover right now."
I frowned to myself, "But will she be at the party tomorrow?" I asked her. She shrugged.
"Maybe, I'm not so sure." She said, I sighed, "Well, I'll see you later. Bye guys!" She then left. Probably going to go and check on her little sister.
