Tatum sat bored in art class and sketched random little cats.
"Yoo, earth to Tatum" Mindy poked Tatums shoulder, "hm? Oh yeah"

Mindy chuckled, "dude it's gonna be ok, it's not like ghostface is back and is gonna kill us all" Tatum looked at Mindy with a face that said, not surprised but disappointed.

"Oh ha ha Mindy, whatever, ghostface isn't back, it's just an idiot who wants to scare people."

The bell went off, Mindy and Tatum got up to leave, "ok guys I want you to think deeply about your true emotions for when we start the clay sculptures!"

"I think Ms Juilliard is slowly loosing her sanity", Mindy looked at Tatum, "her first name is Gertrude, of course she's a little loopy"

Mindy did the little finger movement next to her head.
"Hey guys" Tatum sat down at the picnic bench.

"Look all I'm saying is with all this  stuff going on we should up our relationship to the next, most intimate level."

Chad and Liv walked over the four and sat down, "he wants me to accept his find my fam request."

"I'm just saying with a possible killer on the loose it's best to know where each other are if anything happens" Chad said as if it was common knowledge, "oh so you can stalk me like a jealous boyfriend?" Liv rolled her eyes while Chad moves closer to her, "or so you can stalk me like a jealous boyfriend!"

They kissed while Wes had a very serious look on his face, Amber made a gag noise, "is this because you two aren't having sex yet?"

They all laughed, "you bring up a good point,not to sound like the stereotypical jock but I do like a little action occasionally!"

"Don't do it Liv, there's a psycho out there, you need to make yourself harder to find, delete social media, tape up your camera all that shit."
Wes finished his rant, "thank you so much Edward Snowden, you're like mom, by the way she just questioned me on Taras attempted murder, very fun conversation."

Chad gestured to sheriff Hicks who waved at her son.
"I mean come on guys, ghostface is back"
"Shut up Wes he is not!" Tatum leaned over and hit him in the shoulder.

"The press isn't saying it's ghostface yet," Amber chimed in, "besides he'll get out by the second or third killing."

"Shut the fuck up Mindy, there hasn't been a first killing yet, Tara isn't dead!" Tatum unexpectedly snapped at her childhood friend, "she could still die" Mindy said in a matter of fact tone.

"What the fuck!" Amber yelled, "or he could come back to finish her off", " Jesus mindy!" Even her brother was sick of it.

Wes spoke again, "guys get armed up, pepper spray, knife"
He was cut off by Liv looking a bit behind Mindy, "holy shit is that... Vince?"

Tatum turned to see a mediocre white dude with pants that screamed "I'm a pedophile".
"You mean that creep you hooked up with last summer?"
"Yeah, he's been stalking my Instagram, it's fine he's harmless."

Chad became all macho, "maybe I should introduce him to Hobbs and Shaw."
His arms flexed and Liv laughed, "slow down big guy"

Tatums phone buzzed.

Angel ❤
Hey babe, I'm awake, not great but I miss you

                                   Me
                  I'll be there asap!

"Guys Tara's awake!" She picked up her green backpack and rushed to her car, "y'all coming?"

The others collected their items except, "sorry guys I have to do something, I'll visit her tonight or something" Liv waved.

"Can I get a ride with you? My mom drove me today" Wes asked, "yeah sure, get in the fucking car dude let's hurry!"

Tatum was first in the big building, "hi! I'm looking for Tara Carpenters room? My name is Tatum Reily"
"She's in room 205"

Tatum knocked on the door, "honey?"
She opened it fully and they all walked in, "Tara! Hey!"
Amber sat next to her and Tara grinned up at her friends.

"Hey man, how ya doing?" Chad touched her shoulder in a friendly manner.
"Hey honey" Tatum kissed the top of Taras head, she placed her hand on Taras cheek, "how are you feeling?"

"A bit shitty, but better now that you're here"
They all took seats, "so what happened?" Wes asked "right to the point huh man" he rolled his eyes at Tatum.

"I'm not even sure, I thought I was talking to my mom's friend and then-" her voice haltered, "hey it's ok! You don't need to talk about it yet ok, just relax"
Tatum gave Wes a look, "I was just curious!" He defensively put his arms up, "shut up frosty the snowman!"

"I was so scared Tate" tears entered  Taras dark eyes, "I thought I was going to die" a tear fell down her cheek.
"I know I can't do too much but I swear I won't let anything else happen to you, and look, you're laying right next to me that shows you out up a fight! Like a badass!"

A grin appeared on Taras face, "your a dork ya know that right?"
A second knock and the door made Tara jump slightly, the familiar face of Sam Carpenter walked in.

"Oh my god" Tatum whispered, "Tara"
Tatum got up from her seat and gestured Sam to take it so she could be close to her sister.

"How are you feeling?" Sam had a face full of concern, "you came" Tara was slightly surprised, "of course I did, this is my boyfriend, Richie"

Richie awkwardly waved, "hey nice to meet you, sorry if I'm intruding" (you are 😡 leave)

"Nice to meet you too"
Same went over to the teenagers and hugged Wes, "thank you for calling me", "of course" he hugged back.

"Look at your hair" Wes chuckled, Sam took place next to her creepy looking boyfriend, "this Chad and Mindy the twins, Wes and Tatum" Chad and Mindy waved in unison, "I used to babysit them all"

"Love to be introduced that way"
"And Amber, hey" Amber basically reeked of passive aggressiveness towards the older Carpenter sister.

Sam looked around, "wheres mom?", "she's stuck at a conference in London, she called me earlier."

"For ten minutes" in truth Tatum could never stand Amber, she was always negative and Tatum guessed she had a hide crush on Tara.

The two didn't outwardly fight or anything but they never talked or got along.
"Look guys, Tara super tired we should let her rest"
They agreed, "I'm gonna be back later ok? I'll bring some snacks if you're allowed any" she leaned down and kissed the top of her head.

Sam went to follow but Tara stopped her, "not you Sam, I want you to stay" Sam looked surprised but happy, "yeah, of course."

Tatum walked out, I'll text you tonight honey!"

She shut the door behind Amber.
"Wanna hit the bar? We could use a distreser"
Chad suggests, "fuck it, I'll text my dad first."

                                   Me
    Hey dad, I'm gonna hang out with a few friends before I get home

Dad
Sounds good kiddo, you have fun and be safe!

"Alright let's go dorks"

Should I find a face claim for Tatum? Also is this Steptoe good? I like the character but the story's not juicy enough yet, I swear itll probably be better soon lol
