Scott says goodbye to Tara

~♥TARA'S POV♥~

Scott looked so handsome in his suit, his golden blonde hair all done up and slicked back. I took his hand and we climbed into his car. He had a smile plastered to his face making me curious, I nudged his shoulder and he chuckled. "What are you smiling about?" I asked, "you'll see." he replied pulling up to the doors of our high school prom. I caught a glimpse of Carter in his classic tuxedo, fiddling with his bow tie and looking down at his watch. "Look, there's Carter." I said to Scott pointing to him and Scott laughed. He helped me out the car and we made our way over to Carter. "Hey man, what's up?" asked Scott, Carter had tears running down his cheeks and as much as he tried to hide them, he couldn't. "I can't get a hold of Mitch, I'm worried." he replied. I enveloped him in a hug, "don't worry sweetie, we'll look around, see if we can spot him." I said and Carter smiled.

We spilt up and I decided to check the park, Mitch and Carter's favourite hang out spot behind Starbucks and the sheds. Sure enough I found him, sitting on a bench, head hanging down and tears smacking off the path. I sat beside him, spooking him at first but he settled after he realised it was me.

"Mitchie, what's up? Your man's waiting for you."

"I can't. Travis stole my gift for Carter and ran off down the street."

He began to sob harder and I pulled him into my chest, letting his tears soak into my dress. I felt so bad for Mitch, he had worked hard on getting that gift for Carter and that little punk ruined it. "The night's not ruined Mitch, you can still have fun with Carter." I said but all I got was sobbing. "Pathetic. It's a stupid ring." I heard Travis say behind me. I spun my head round and glared at him. "Give it back Travis, he worked hard on that." I snapped but Travis just laughed. He shook his head, "I ain't giving back and there's nothing you can do about it girlie." he said whispering the last part in my ear. I threw my fist in his face effectively making him drop the ring and I caught it.

"Thanks for your contribution Trav but we gotta get going." I said and Mitch hugged me. "Thank you Tara, you're the best." he said running off to find Carter. Just as I left, Travis grabbed me and tried making out with me. "SCOTT!" I screamed...

~□SCOTT'S POV□~

I heard Tara scream from the park, I left Carter with Mitch and sprinted for my girlfriend. I saw that slime ball known as Travis with his hands wrapped around her and him forcing himself on her. "Tara!" I shouted running over and tackling Travis to the ground. I punched him a few times before wrapping my arms around Tara and checking her over. "You ok?" I asked and she chuckled. "I am now, my protector." she replied making me chuckled and kiss her.

Prom was great after that and after high school I got the news I was gonna be a dad. Mitch and I were over the moon, so was Carter but not as much as we were. But I was on tour on the due date and even after that. I got time off but by that time I was too late, my son was gone and so was Tara...

The funeral was beautiful, I spoke along with Mitch, Carter, Kirstie and Tara's twin brothers, Harris and Kyle. They weren't coping so well, neither was I. I had to find my son but it was practically impossible. After the funeral finished, I went out with Harris, Kyle and Mitch, to try and wrap my mind around what just happened. Harris was having a hard time controlling his emotions with Kyle constantly calming him down. Everything had gone wrong, I'd lost one of my closest friends, my girlfriend and my son all in the space of a week...

Carter's been working none stop to find Alex but no luck. He did get a call tonight about a little abused boy, so it's just me and Mitch tonight. Carter is moving out soon and me and Mitch are gonna live together which will be exciting. We'd been talking about it and it's finally happening...

Today me and Mitchie become parents and Mitch is so excited. You should have seen him Tara, his eyes lit up and so did mine. We can wait to meet our new addition to the PTX family, I know he will never replace Alex but he'll be a great kid none the less. I know you'll look over him Tara, no matter what...

Tara, is it just me or does Alex look a lot like me? Mitch keeps saying it and I see what he means but he's not mine. Alex is someone else's kid right? I see your smile when he smiles and I heard your voice when he speaks. It's kinda freaky but that's what makes him so loveable...

Tara, I found our baby boy...

Alex is our kid, Carter did his research and I finally found our baby. I knew he was too much like us, I hope you're happy to see your angel with his true Daddy and his Papa. Alex and Mitch have this bond Tara, you must have seen it...

They're inseparable...

Like me and you baby, I hope you're happy now...

I found him baby...
