*Natalie's POV*
I actually couldn't believe this girl. Did she want to destroy Tara and Max? She sits there thinking she is all that and she then turns around and says she here for Max. I swear if that boy really has cheated on Tara I'll do a hell of a lot more than give him a black eye. Tara really doesn't need this. She was already trying to repair things between her and Max and now I don't think it will ever be fixed. No matter who this 'Chelsea' is, she has ruined Max and Tara.
I walked into the living room to take a look at this 'Chelsea'. This Chelsea was the very same Chelsea that made Tara's life hell. She was the girl that called Tara names and turned everyone against her. This Chelsea was the girl that broke my best friend. The same girl Tara would phone me up over, crying hysterically at another rumour Chelsea had spread. This girl is the reason for Tara's hurt and pain.
"Oh Max, you didn't tell me it was THAT Tara. Max, Max, Max, you could do so much better than her!"
There she goes again. Making Tara feel like shit, all for her own personal gain and enjoyment.
"Tara, how I've missed you! Still a failure I see. Still working your way around, I guess the rumour about you being a slag was true after all."
"Chelsea, please, not here." I could hear Tara's voice cracking, I knew this would affect her, but I didn't know how much.
"Why not. These boys really need to know how much of a bitch you really are, Tara. Some things never change."
Too far! This bitch had crossed a line!
"Really! You are calling Tara the bitch here! She doesn't deserve all the sit you gave and still give her. She doesn't deserve it, only cruel, heartless bitches like you deserve that kind of pain. DON'T YOU EVER SAY ANOTHER BAD WORD ABOUT HER CHELSEA!"
"Or what Natalie! Will you stand there and fight her battles for her because she is too weak and pitiful to defend herself! Do you know what Tara? You deserved all of the pain, and suffering, because you are a bitch. And I'm glad I was the person that made you crumble."
*Nathan's POV*
I couldn't just stand there and watch Tara get hurt again. I don't know what's gone on between her and Chelsea but Tara is simply too amazing to deserve any of that shit. It was clear that Max wasn't going to defend her and Natalie's way of defending was pinning Chelsea to the ground and slapping and punching her. Tara had to know that we didn't think of her like that. Max said he loves Tara, but he sure has a funny way of showing it. I had no other choice but to stand up for Tara, because the lads and I all care about her.
"Oi, now I don't know what Tara you are thinking of but the Tara standing in front of you is incredible. She makes the whole room light up with her smile, her eyes shine in the night, she is amazing, she has all of the people who care about her supporting her. None of us believe Tara is this person you perceive her to be. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET OUT OF OUR HOUSE!"
Natalie, kindly allowed her to stand before hauling Chelsea over her shoulder and carrying her outside. Natalie left her there before shutting the door on her, but not before Max ran after the both of them and pulled Chelsea into a hug. What the fuck!? He says that he loves Tara but goes and hugs the girl that just made Tara feel so small.
*Tara's POV*
Everyone else was asleep because after what happened Natalie declared that she was heading upstairs to bed. The rest of us followed close after and soon all I could hear was a symphony of snores. I've moved into my own room next door to Natalie and across from Nathan because I didn't want to be anywhere near Max after everything. I don't even think he came in after seeing Chelsea, he probably spent the night round hers. I couldn't help but think about everything Chelsea said tonight. About me being a bitch and that I deserved everything that happened to me during school. When she used to hurt me, with both words and actions. I soon found myself sobbing over what she said.
I heard my door open, so I pretended to be asleep. The person snuggled in bed next to me, wrapped their arms around me and whispered;
"Tara, I'll be your hero who is standing strong, who will protect you from any fights."
And with that, I fell asleep to the comfort of their arms. Smiling.
