Tate stood in the bathroom putting her makeup on, she was headed to a Halloween party with her friends.

She put the dark purple eyeshadow on around her eyes and put black lipstick on, she had even dyed her hair green for Beetlejuice.

"Yo Tate! Hurry up man we gotta go!" Mindy called, the two were roommates at the college.

"Chill out man! I'm coming Jesus.." She walked out and grabbed her black and white striped blazer, "are you trying to look hot for Tara?"

Tate blushed slightly, "shut up, don't you wanna look nice to Anika?"
Mindy rolled her eyes, "cmon the guys are outside with Tara."

Tate walked out the door and downstairs she saw her three friends all dressed up, Chad was a tasteful cowboy, Tara a pirate and her newer friend Ethan was a robot boy.

"Hey y'all! Ready to get fucked up!" Chad was pumped for the party.
"Calm down sheriff" Tate went and put her arm around Tara's shoulders.
"Hey babe" she kissed the shorter girl and smiled.

"Well lets go already!"

☎︎

They arrived to the bright party, "wooo!" Chad and Mindy shouted, "school had been so stressful I'm ready to get wrecked" Tate stepped in and dragged Tara to the drinks.

"Pick your poison" a man stood around the drinks, "two beers, unopened" he handed to ice cold bottles from a cooler and handed them over, "for m'lady" Tate handed the drink to Tara.

"Why thank you good sir" they cringed and than laughed, neither could hear each other very well over the loud ass music.

They passed Chad and Ethan being slightly homoerotic while talking about getting Ethan a girl.

"If Ethan gets a girlfriend I'll be a mermaid!" Tate teased as she passed, "oh ha ha!"

Tate sat on a couch and Tara fell next to her, "you look really hot by the way" Tara spoke in Tates ear, "oh yeah? You dig the spooky alcoholic look?"

Tara grinned and grabbed Tate's face, "shut up"
They made out on the couch and Tara climbed onto Tate's lap.

(I'm ace and so is Tate so nothing more ya nasties)

They made out for a while, tate had her hand on Tara's lower back and the other on her neck.
Tara smiled into the kiss and dismounted, "I need another drink."

She left and wiped the black lipstick off her face, winking at Tate.
"Grab me one please!" She called out.

She say up right and fidgeted with her hands, looking around anxiously.
Her therapist had been talking to her about ways to manage her anxiety and greif, but she was to stubborn to admit she really needed help.

Instead she'll drink her problems away for the night and let future Tate deal with it.

She took a sip of the cheap alcohol and layed her head back.
The year had been rough, but she visited her mom often and therapy was... Kinda helping.

"Hey Tate! We need your help over here girl!" Mindy grabbed her off of the couch before she could process what was happening.

"What the fuck?-"

She was dragged to a room and saw a dude talking to Tara, "everything ok here?", "yeah, I was just talking to this girl about heading upstairs... "

Tate scoffed, "well sorry man but she's busy, and taken" she protectivelly (and awkwardly) grabbed Tara side.

"Well maybe she wants a really relationship she can be protected in, I recognize you from the news last year."

She rolled her deep brown eyes, "fuck off man, just walk away before my friend beats you" Chad stood behind her, and in a second Sam was also here.

"Dude she's not interested! You have a hand just fuck that!" He took a shot at Tate and sent her into Chad.

"Wow dude!" Chad grabbed her and helped her up, Tate put a hand to her jaw and winced, Sam walked up and grabbed the guy who was stepping closer to Tara.

"I'm just gonna tase your balls really quick."
She didn't hesitate to put a taser straight to this guy's dick and he collapsed, people had phones out and were screaming along.

"What the fuck Sam! Your stalking me now?" Tara stormed off and Tate followed like a lost puppy.

She could hear some call Sam "psycho" and "killer", she had been dealing with shit because some people thought Richie was innocent and manipulated.

"Tara I'm sure she meant well-", "but she's being way to much! I am an adult and can take care of myself!"
They speed walked out, Tara holding Tates hand while ranting about her sister.

Once they got a few minutes away they stopped, Sam and the others right behind her.
"Sam leave me alone holy fuck!"
Tate stood back and beside Mindy.
She noticed Ethan and Anika switched hats.

"I just don't think your dealing with that happened last year!", "oh my god!" Tara laughed annoyed.

"I'm not gonna let four days from last year to dictate my whole life!"
Sams eyes looked glossy, "but it still affected you I don't care what you say, I want you to be ok!"

"Well I am ok Sam" Tara shrugged, "what are you doing here Sam? Your living in a shitty apartment, have two shitty jobs!"

Tate stood back and watched this unfold, in all honesty Tara should be going to counseling, of not for last year it's for her childhood.
"Your gone for five years and now you can't leave me alone for five minutes! You know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to finish college, get my degree, and have a God damn life."

Mindy paced awkwardly, "should we say something?" Mindy whispered in Tatums ear.
"Nah, I'd rather keep my head."
She looked around and checked her phone trying to make the situation less awkward, "I'm just trying to look out for you."

Sam explained, "I know, I know that but you can't do it forever"

A trio of Giordano walked up and splashed a drink all over Sam's shirt, "murderer!" The lead one called, Sam lunged forward and pushes her back.
"You have a problem with me bitch?!" She called out, "you know what you did!"

"I didn't so anything!" Chad held Sam back and let her go once she calmed down, "sorry about that Sam, you ok?"
"Yeah,just pissed that people think I'm some.. Monster"

They all started wandering back to the dorms.

Tate washed her face off and rinsed, she brushed her teath and took a deal breath, tonight was a lot.

Her phone buzzed and she checked, her mom and texted her.

Mom
Hey Tate, how was tonight I know you and your friends had plans

                                   Me
        It was fun ig, just tired lol

Mom
Well you have a good sleep, love you honey

                                   Me
                     Love you too mom

Ever since her dad passed her mom's been trying harder to be more there for her emotionally, she's not very in tune with her own feelings but she's a good listener.

Tate tiredly walked to Taras room and flopped onto the bed.

"I'm ready to pass out oh my god" Tara laughed, "well were gonna watch a movie first if you wanna join?"

"Yeah sure, but after could we cuddle?" She looked up at Tara and grinned like an idiot.

"Sure dork"
