Between Blood And Love {Tara Carpenter x Male Reader}

Chapter 8: He's back...

{Y/n pov}

Tara had 'dragged' me a a pretty far distance from the party by now but, we were eventually stopped when we heard Sam yelling behind us.

Tara just kept on walking ignoring Sam, i just went along with it.
"Tara cmon!" Sam yelled not giving up.
I could hear Tara i sigh before she stopped and turned around.

"Sam, i can't believe you just fucking did that, you embarrassed!" She half yelled.
"That guy was a dick, he was gonna take advantage of you!" Sam retaliated.

"So?!" Tara said her voice raising in volume.
"So?" Sam asked confused.

"If i wanna hook up with an asshole thats my decision!" Tara yelled.
"My decision!" She added making various hand gestures.
"Ok.." Sam says sounding dissapointed but not in Tara... but in herself.

"I mean y- yo- you're out of my life for 5 years and now you can't leave me alone for 5 minutes!" Tara said, tears slowly forming in her eyes.
"Because you're not dealing with what happend to us." Sam said getting little annoyed.

"Have you even gone to see the councelor?" she asks.

"No, and i'm not going to." Tara replied.

"Why not?" Sam asked frustrated.
"Because i'm not interested in living in the past like you are!" She answered.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sam asks offended.

"Hey cmon guys i th-" i was about to say but was stopped when Tara raised her hand signalling me to shut up.
"I'm not gonna let what happend to us for 3 days define the rest of my life!" Tara continued.

"So you're just gonna pretend it never happend?" Sam asks with frustration present in her voice.

"What are you doing here ,Sam? In New-York." Tara asks.

"You're working 2 shitty jobs to help with rent whatever, but what's your plan?" She asks.
Sam just scoffed in response.

"I know what i'm gonna do. I'm gonna continue going to college i'm gonna get my degree and i'm gonna live my life." Tara says.

"My life." She adds slapping her chest.
"You follow me here and you won't let me out of your sight.." Tara adds calming down a little.
"Just trying to look out for you.." Sam spoke in a low tone.

"I know, i know you are but, you can't do it for the rest of my life though." Tara replied.

"You have to let me go." She adds.

As they were talking i saw a group of girls approaching with one of them holding a beer cup and another holding a phone..

I had a feeling where this was going since they all looked drunk and had a cheeky smirk.

"Yo Chad, we might have an issue.." i said tapping his shoulder and pointing to the group.
By the time Chad looked over it was already too late since they had already dumped their drink all over Sam.

That caused Sam to lose her cool and she tried to attack the girl but Chad and I managed to hold her back.

After the girls were gone Tara once again grabbed my hand and walked away.

The rest of the group followed behind except Ethan who stayed behind offering Sam some tissues.
He shortly after walked after us since Sam gave him a 'get lost' glare.
Tara and i were in the front whilst Chad, Mindy, Anika and Ethan stayed behind.

I could hear Mindy and Chad giggling from time to time and i'm assuming it was because Tara and i were holding hands.

I brushed it off since 1 i couldn't care less and 2 i was still pretty wasted.

After a couple more minutes of walking we finally reached Tara and Sam's appartment.
Tara's roommate Quin was also home and got scared a little when she saw our entire group show up.
"What the hell is going on?" Quin asks confused as she looks at all of us.
"Let's just say the party didn't go as planned." i replied.
"What happend?" Quin asks confused.
"Sam, can't keep her hands out of my business." Tara replied speed walking into her room.

"What happend to her?" Quin asked.
"Sam, showed up at the party and kinda embarrassed her." i said.

"She gives Sam way too much of a hard time the poor girl is just trying to look out for her." Quin said.
"Quin, it isn't that simple." i defended Tara.
"Y/n, what could you possible know? You're just a weirdo trying to get in her pants." Quin said annoyed.
"Quin. You have no fucking clue the things me and Tara have been through together." I replied getting very annoyed.
"Me and Tara have been friends for as long as i can remember and i have been there for her whenever she needed me so don't you fucking dare call me some weirdo who's only here for sex." i added.

I must have gotten through to her since her facial expression changed from the annoyed one to a more calm and 'oh shit' face.
"Thought so." i said annoyed walking over to Tara's room.
I knocked on Tara's door receiving a quiet and low toned "Come in."

As i walked in a saw her sitting on her bed looking down..

"You ok," i ask closing the door behind me.
"Yeah.. I just heard... What Quin said back there." she replied.

"I'm sorry you had to hear that." i said sitting down next to her.
"I-it's ok..." she replied with a soft little smile.

'Wow her smile is so beautiful..'

 "Thank you for defending me." she added.

"Yeah ofcourse no worries, after all the things we've been through together it didn't feel right to just let her talk about you like that." i said looking her straight in her beautiful black eyes.

A few seconds into me explanation Tara also locked eyes with me.
We continued to stare at eachother for a couple more minutes until she spoke again.

"Thank you from stopping me from going up those stairs." She said, her voice low and soft and a slight smile plastered on her face.
"Ofcourse, if you ever hook up with a guy he should treat you right and be there for you and love you. Not just want you for the sex." i said.

"Also if you didn't it would be wrong doing this." She said pulling me into a kiss.

Her sudden action shocked me but, i couldn't be happier right now so i kissed back.

After a few seconds she pulled away and so did i.

Smiles were plastered across both of our faces as we once again stared into eachothers eyes.

"Sorry... I have just been wanting to do that for a while now." Tara said chuckling.
"Trust me so have i." i replied.

'After what just happend i'm pretty sure nothing can ruin my life anymore'
We kept on staring until Chad suddenly burst into our room causing us to quickly create some distance between us.

"Tara, Y/n you might want to come check out the news.."

Tara and i both looked at eachother confused and scared at the same time.

As we got into the living room we could see everyone sitting or standing around the tv with the news on even Sam had made it back.

"Breaking news: Police have found 2 dead teenagers in their appartment alongside an entire collection of 'Stab' merchandise." The reporter spoke.

'Fuck fuck fuck fuck....'
