His and Her Saviour

Thirty Six.

Stefano

I'm pissed off at Tarra for what she did, but I'm not at the same time. 

She could have come to either Enzo or me once she was told by the Russians, but she chose to take the easy way out. 

She could have told Ellie to prepare or given her a heads up in general.

She could have done a million other things in that situation. 

But she didn't. Tarra panicked and I think she just froze in the moment and just gave in. She was scared and I get it. I know it's fucked up and in no way am I happy about her decision but I do understand her. 

That's a big part of why I love her, but it's just hard to show that when Ellie is pretty much a younger sister to me and I don't even know if she's okay or not.

I got out of the shower after an hour of getting lost in thought and went down to my office after getting into a suit to call Enzo.

I sat in my chair and made sure to lock my office door so I had no distractions. 

I picked up my phone an dialed Enzo.

It went through voicemail so I called my mom. 

She picked up on the fourth ring.

"S-Stef?" She sounded scared.

"Mama what happened?" I said concerned.

"Oh honey it's nothing. It's just... Lorenzo.. He's a mess. He had a couple of drink but won't stop and he's already broken his entire room and he's just gone mad." 

"I'm on my way." I hung up the phone and got the jet ready for me to go.

I went up to my room and packed the small things and Tarra walked in while I was about to leave.

"Where are you headed off to?" She asked in a quiet tone.

"Enzo's a mess I need to go take care of him" I tried to get passed Tarra but she blocked me.

"I need to go now Tarra"

"Did I do something?" She asked confused.

"Tarra we can talk when we come back but my brother needs me right now-"

"What about me!?"

"What about you Tarra? You did something pretty selfish and on top of that Enzo's killing himself with alcohol, your mom isn't doing anything to try and help and you're not letting me go help so please MOVE" I roared. 

She stood there and stared at me and so I glared back.

"Listen what was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to get beat up for something I didn't even do? It was Ellie that was sold to them and Ellie that was the problem and the whole reason we were being chased after them how is it my fucking fault that I got out of a problem that didn't fucking involve me in the first place?! God you people are so stupid." 

Tarra stormed off and slammed the door behind her.  

Tarra's reasons were valid. It was Ellie's fight if not Enzo's fight to protect her. Tarra could have worded it better but I admit there wasn't anything I would have done either. If Tarra was in that situation hell I would be stupidly blaming Ellie for it.

I dropped my bags and went into Tarra's room. I saw her in the balcony with a cig in her hand and I walked up to her. I put my arms around her waist and buried my face into her neck.

"I'm sorry I lashed out on you like that it's just the way Enzo's acting... I'm just worried." I let out a sigh.

Tarra turned around to look at me after ashing her cig and cupped my face.

"I am hurt at the fact that I did what I did. Trust me. But you all have no idea what I have been doing for the last week." 

I looked at her confused.

"I hacked into the Russian's house cameras and found out which house they're holding Ellie in and I had my mom track down their round abouts and exact location. My dad's already got guards working under cover in the Russian house but they don't have anyone working in the basement. I was planning on going undercover tomorrow night to try and get Ellie out." Tarra let go of my face and walked back into her room and I followed behind.

"So why did you keep all of this from us? Why make us hate you?" I asked.

"I don't like showing everything and if it means you guys hate me then so be it. I'm sorry I didn't tell you I just don't really like the whole attention of being the hero." 

"You have no idea how much of a hero you are Tarra fucking Evans." I grabbed her face and smashed my lips onto hers. It's been too long since I've kissed Tarra and I missed it so fucking bad.

I let go of the kiss and looked at Tarra and then remembered where I had to be.

"Come one" I grabbed Tarra's wrist and dragged her out to the jet.

"I DIDN'T EVEN PACK MY BAGS" She yelled out.

"WE'LL GET YOU MORE CLOTHES IN NEW YORK COME ON" I dragged her into the jet and we took off.

PLEASE DON'T HATE ON TARRA ANYMORE OKAY I LOVE HER!!!
