Tamara got off the bed to get dressed to make it in time for dinner. She turned to him and gave him a kiss on the lips.
"I have to go. Sorry. Auntie said I have to get home before supper." She muttered sheepishly. "I really don't want to leave you hottie." Tamara smiled and got out of his room.
A while later she got home to her Aunt. The air in the kitchen smelt like cake. "Mmmmm.... smells good Auntie!" she yelled. She walked into the kitchen and her Aunt wasn't there. Hmmmm.... wonder where auntie is. she thought. Then she heard a very loud thump in the attic.
"Auntie are you there?" She called. She started running up the stairs to get to the attic. When she was about to open the door it burst open on her. Aunt was right there.
"TAMARA!" She looked shocked. "Listen to me Tamara, do not go up these stairs. " Her Aunt said sternly.
"Y-yes ma'am" Tamara said quietly. Her aunt walked right past her, and Tamara saw she was holding her wrist. She was bleeding, not lightly, but she was deeply cut. It looked like someone tried to kill her. "Auntie why are you cu-"
"Just don't say anything please." she sighed. Then the phone rang which made them both jump. Her aunt went to answer it. "Hello, who is this?" she asked. She stayed silent for a while, then she started to cry. "Yes i'll be there. Tamara get my coat and stay here." Tamara went to get her aunt's coat.
"What happened Auntie?" Tamara asked. Her aunt didn't answer her. "AUNTIE WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!" She screamed.
"Harold got in an accident. He might die, he got his stomach peirced with a tube at work. Please stay out of the attic," her aunt said calmly. She left the house and got in her car and drove away. Tamara slid down the wall, and started to cry.
