Tatum was walking back to the pool table her friends surrounded and looked around at the multi color lights.

"So what's she like? Sam I mean" Live asked, "Sam's so cool" Chad smiled widely, "you only say that because she let you wear pokemon pajamaa for a year" Mindy pointed out.

"True, that's true", "Sam may have her flaws but she was super nice when we were kids, I remember hanging out at the station once and she was there"

Tatum took a moment to think about that she had just said, "ok that sounds bad but I swear it's not" she very fastly defended her words.

Amber spoke up "oh my god trust me, Sam is not cool" amber poured more liquor into peoples glasses, "her dad left her mom right? Walks e8ght out when Tara was eight and Sam thirteen, she started acting out and getting in trouble with the police."

Now what she thought about it, she did remember her dad talking to her mom about Sam spray painting the library.

"And on Sam's eighteenth birthday, she leaves town" Amber took a sop of her own drink, "maybe Sam has changed over the years but I don't wanna see Tara get hurt."

"Tara isn't five Amber, and Sam went through a lot ya know, and Amber you only hate her because she called you a bad influence when were little kids."
Tatum swallowed her drink and Amber rolled her eyes.

"So wait Amber your protecting her from her own sister now?" Wes sighed, "well someone has too"

It was Tatums turn to roll her eyes, Amber was so convinced it was her sworn duty to treat Tara like she was five years old.

"So now no one is good enough for her even her own family?", "ooo, motive, if I can't have her no one can" Mindy blurted out.
"What?" He asked playing it off, "oh can it Wes, we all know you have a crush on Tara!"

"If Wes was the killer with that motive wouldn't I be killed first? And than Tara?"

"All I'm saying is we're all suspects" Chad raised his glass in agreement, "can't fault you there Mindy."

"Except Liv" lived smiled, "thanks Mindy" Mindy immediately changed her tone, "you're to boring to be a phsyco."

Livs face fell and a voice caught her off guard, "hey Liv, wanna come have a real drink or sit at this kids table?"

The pervert from earlier winked at the poor red head, "listen here uglier Michal Myers, it was a summer fling now fuck off!"

"Sorry was I talking to you?" The creep made Chad angrier, "cmon Liv"
Chad pushed the greasy dude backwards, "don't you damn talk to her!"

"Oh shit Chad back up!" Tatum noticed a knife drawn from the dudes pocket, "hey! Get the hell out of my place!"
The owner shouts at Vince to leave, "yeah that's right, leave!" Chad yelled as Vince left.

"You kids too!", "really?" Tatum flew her arms into the air, "can you see this shit?" Chad mumbles.

"I'm gonna drive home, I do work over the weekend but it's only a morning shift on sunday."

She got into her small black car and turned her radio on, the beautiful tunes of Taylor Swift filled her ears, "fuck yeah I love this song."

The ride home was peaceful, the moon shined through the clouds.
Her phone started ringing showing her dad was calling her.

"Hey dad, I'm on my way home what's up?", "I was just worried, I know it's friday but it's already ten thirty, and I know I'm cool with you hanging out with friends but with everything going on."

Tatum smiled, "I know dad don't worry, I'm fine!"
Her dad sighed, "I know, your basically an adult and can take care of yourself but as long as you live you will be my little girl, I take this job very seriously" she could hear his playful smile.
