Let The Light In | Yellowjackets

Bear down

"Shhhh be quiet" nat said as she and Samara snuck into her home. Taking Maras hand leading them to her room.
As they were now inside the room Natalie tried her best to close her door as quietly as she could.

Reaching into her pocket Mara managed to pull out a cassette tape.

"I-uh- I recorded a song for you" she said awkwardly as she now sat in front if Natalie.

"I thought you never sing for anyone" said Natalie inching her face closer to the taller girls, reaching for her hand in order to paint her nails.

"Yeah well your different Nat" Mara smiled softly.

As they faces inched closer and closer, Mara could feel the girls breath on her lips but they were interrupted by Natalie's dad.

"Shit! Get out!" warned Natalie.

"What the hell is this dyke doing in my house!" screamed Nats dad going for Samara before she ran out.

"Is this what you do when I'm not home!" "Are you a little slut Natalie"

Samara could hear the loud screaming voice of Natalie's father dying out as she ran and ran as far away as she could.

Knocking could be heard waking Samara from her deep slumber as she got up scratching her head while going to her front door swinging it open to reveal a distraught Natalie with puffy red eyes and tear streaks going down her face.

"Nat what the hell happened!?" she asked immediately embracing her as she brought her in her trailer.

"My dad-shit it's all my fault!" "Hey hey just breath alright" Samara said as she heard Natalie explain what had happened.

"Nat listen to me you did nothing wrong this isn't your fault alright, you didn't pull that trigger" she said while holding Natalie's face.

That night Mara held Natalie till the sun came out promising her she would never leave her side until the day she died.

Samara jolted awake with pain shooting up from her arm, it had gotten worse the scab from the burn was now infected and without food Misty couldn't give her any pain killers. As she looked towards her side she spotted Nat next to Lottie telling her something.

"What's wrong?"

"Mara please tell her she's overreacting"

"I think bad things happened here" she said starring straight ahead making her girlfriend crawl over to her.

"Hey don't say that alright, let's just get some sleep" she said while rubbing her girlfriends back. Making sure not to lay down on her right side.

It was now morning and Samara found herself sitting with Lottie as she let Javi practice with her guitar.

"What's going on lot" she asked quietly.

"I just have a feeling alright" responded a annoyed Lottie.

"Lot you can talk to me you know that" Samara said softly reaching out her hand to comfort Lottie.

"Just drop it alright!, just leave me alone" said Lottie as she quickly snatched her hand back walking away from them.

"Samara what was the note again" asked Javi as he still practiced with her guitar.

Mara quickly cleared her throat before answering Javi "Yeah you put-" she was cut off by a load popping sound that she knew too well. It was a gunshot. She quickly ran with Javi back to the cabin making sure to cover him if there was anymore gunshots.
