As Tatum opened the door to Chad's car she realized how much she missed Tara and how different everything was without her. "Hey Wes?" Tatum whispered to her best friend of her whole life. "Yea? " Wes whispered back. "Do you think Tara will be alright? I'm really worried about her. " Tatum said, sounding very distressed "and I'm worried about my dad." Tatum said even more distressed than before. "Everythings gonna be ok while I'm here to protect you Tate. If anyone hurts you I will hurt them. I'm your best friend. Ok? " Wes said, reassuring his best friend that everything will be ok as long as he's there with her.

" thanks wes." Tatum said as she hugged him. "You two should just kiss already!" Mindy exclaimed

"shut up Mindy! " said trying to cover up the fact that she was blushing. "Oooo are you blushing Tatum! " Amber exclaimed teasingly "Oh come on! You guys are acting like children." Wes told the group. "? Mindy's right. You guys should just kiss already or do you know. " Chad said calmly.

" CHAD! No,no,no,no,absolutely not!"yelled Tatum defending herself and her best friend. "You know what I'm pulling over. So you guys can confess your feelings for each other. " Chad said, causing Tatum and Wes to roll their eyes. "Oh yes Chad, finally your brain is doing something smart for once! " Mindy exclaimed meaning to offend her brother but somehow he took it as a compliment.

"Ok time to get out, love birds! " Amber said as she forced Tatum and Wes out of the car. "Ok so what are we supposed to do now? " Wes asked Tatum. "Printed like we are confessing our l.. lo.. love.. For each other. Sorry I can't say it without gagging. No Offense. " Tatum explained to her friend

"Non taken! " Wes said with a chuckle. "Look at them staring at us. " Tatum said, pointing to her friends in the car. "Ok time to get back in the car kids, oh and you don't have to tell us what was said... yet. " Mindy said with mystery in her voice, making everyone chuckle.

"Let's just go see Tara! " Tatum exclaimed to her friends to get the attention of her and Wes. So the group made their way to the hospital.as the approached Tara's room tatum stoped the group saying " could you guys not tell Tara what happened. " Tatum warned her friends. Hey guys." Tara said to her friends as they entered the room. "Tara!" Tatum exclaimed as she entered the room. "God, how many pills do they have you on!? "Tatum asked Tara. " I honestly lost count Tate. " Tara admitted. The friends continued to chat for a while before being interrupted by Tara's sister Sam.

"Hey how are you feeling? " Sam asked her sister as she walked into the room. "You came." Tara said back surprised since Sam had abandoned her and her mom when she was 14 and never called. "Of course I did, Wes called me." Said as she looked at Wes and then back to Tara "This is my boyfriend Richie. " Sam introduced her boyfriend. "You brought a date? " Amber asked Sam, showing how much she disliked her. "Don't start. " Tara warned amber."It's very nice to meet you and I hope I'm not intruding. " Richie said to Tara trying to get Tara and the others to like him.

"This is Chad and Mindy the twins, And this is Wes Hicks and Tatum Riley they are practically twins.i used to babysit them all" Sam said, making the four of them smile. "Which is always how I like to be introduced. " Wes said, making everyone chuckle. "Yea totally. " Tatum added on to the joke. "Where's mom? " Sam asked Tara . "Stuck in a conference in London. But she called. " Tara answered her sister. "Yea for all of ten minutes. "Amber said, showing how protective she was of Tara.

"Look Tara's really tired, and she needs her rest so we should go" Amber told the group "no you stay. " Tara said to Sam. Tara gave the group the look causing them to finally leave the room. " let's go to the bar. " Chad suggested causing the group to nod.
