Tara's Pov
I sigh and fall backwards onto my bed as
Amber leaves my bedroom and eventually my house. After a couple minutes I go downstairs to see my mom napping on the couch, I'm surprised that she didn't pass out drunk this time like always. I open the fridge and get a juice box, I take the plastic wrap off the straw and stab it into the little circle part of the juice box, as soon as I goto throw my plastic away I see 2 empty wine bottles in the trash and I sigh. How did my mom manage to throw these away in her sleep? She usually just passes out with them in her hand or with alcohol dripping down her face. I think for a while before coming to a conclusion that Sam probably threw them away. I close the trash can and continue to sip on my box while scrolling through Instagram, I scroll down a while and find myself stumble upon Ambers page.
"Oh shit." I whisper as I accidentally like one of her photos, I can't lie she looks beautiful here, but I'm so fucking stupid. I face palm myself and throw my juice box away, quietly going up the stairs so I don't wake up my demonic mother. I walk into my room to see Sam putting my clothes in the drawer.
"Hey." I say, she turns around startled and holds her chest.
"Jeez you scared me T." She says, i chuckle and flop onto my bed.
"Did you throw away moms wine bottles? She's passed out on the couch." I ask Sam, she looks at me confused. "Moms passed out again?" She looks at me worryingly.
"Did you not know?" I ask, she shakes her head and I think for a moment. Who the hell threw those bottles away? My mom is way too lazy to get up off her ass and do a simple task like that. Think Tara, think..
"Oh my fucking god." I say our loud.
"No cursing ma'am." Sam says, I roll my eyes.
"It was probably Wes. He said he was worried and would come over!" I say, blushing.
"Whose Wes?" Sam asks.
"He's my boyfriend." I say, Sam gives me a weird look.
"Okay then.." She says, I scoff.
"You're just jealous." I say, Sam scoffs back. "Am not!" She argues.
"Are too." I smirk and she smiles back, she pulls me in for a hug by the side and leaves my room.
"Be good, don't do drugs." She says as she closes my door. I smile and continue to scroll on Ambers insta. I find myself to blush at some pictures but it's not anything really, it's hot as hell in my room, I think.
"Tara!" Sam yells, I quickly exit out of insta as she opens my room door.
"What?" I say, "Can you run an errand to Walmart? We need eggs, milk, rice, and moms wine." She says, I groan and get up. Sam hands me money and I take it, running downstairs.
"You can get something for yourself too!" She says,
"Okay!" I say as I quietly exit through the front door. Walking through the neighborhood my thoughts start to flood my mind, what if I do like Amber? What if Wes is just a distraction? No no, I like him, I'm not gay. God, but I swear those photos of her were so pretty, she's like an angel. I shut my thoughts off and keep walking, I eventually get to Walmart and look at Sam's list.
"Eggs.." I say to myself, heading over to the fridges in the back. I look over to the left of me and I'm pretty sure I see Amber,
"You're fucking joking." I say under my breath and I try walking away.
"Tara?" She shouts out, I turn around slowly to face her.
"Uhm, hey." I say awkwardly. "Hey.." She says, crossing her arms and looking at me up and down. I blush lightly and avoid eye contact with her, she looks at me sympathetically as she tries to find my eyes.
"I see that you've found my insta?" She smirks,
"Uhm, yeah. I didn't intend to, you just came up." I say, embarrassed.
"Ah, okay." She nods and I look up at her.
"I have to go get stuff, I'm sorry." I try to leave and she grabs my wrist gently, I flinch at her sudden action and she grips my hand. I look up at her and she smiles,
"I'll shop with you, I know this place like the back of my hand and your new." She gives me a soft look, I sigh and accept her offer.
"Ok." I say quietly as she shows me around. I'm not gonna lie, it's fun to hang out with Amber, just a little bit awkward.
"Have you got everything?" She asks me, I nod and she smiles.
"Alright, see you later Tara." She says as she's about to walk off.
"Wait!" I call out to her, she turns around confused.
"I'm sorry for earlier, I know I hurt your feelings and shit." I say to her. She gives me a reassuring smile,
"It's okay, but I have to get home before my dad figures out that I snuck out." She says, my eyes widen.
"You snuck out?!" I say in shock, she chuckles.
"Yeah, I can't really do anything since he's so strict so I just wait til midnight." She says, I raise an eyebrow and cross my arms.
"Mkay then." I say, she giggles and we both part our ways.
