Get Back Up ~ TUp Fanfiction

Chapter 30 - By My Side

Taz felt alone. No one was there to cheer her up, no one to run to. Parker was gone, Up was gone, and her own heart died with them.

She laid on her back, looking to the ceiling. Tears only came and sat on the side of her eyes but didn't fall. She studied the ceiling trying to forget her past events, but I didn't work.

Lost in thought her mind flying different images back and forth her watch buzzed and rang with call, "SHIT" she yelled, startled, and fell off her bed. She say on the floor with anger in her eyes and no emotion in her face. Her body was weak and tired that she could only sit up and stay there, "Hola—what do jou want?"

"Hello Lieutenant, it's Dr. Peterson from the nursery—"

"I'm fine." She yelled, "Jou don't need to check up on me like a child—"

"—Uh. No. That's not what I wanted to say..."

"Then what do jou want!" She yelled, "make it quick. I need to go cry myself to sleep." She said seriously.

Peterson wanted to chuckle, but thought not of it, "I wanted to inform you that we are able to save the Commander—"

"¿¡QUÉ!?" She interrupted, her thoughts growing happy and tears of joy forming.

"—and we'd like you to come to the nursery immediately to confirm of what we can do to him to save him is consented with you first."

"—¡SÍ! ¡SÍ! Whatever it is to save him. ¡Sí!"

"Taz... please come."

"Fine..." she said slowly and hung up.

Her eyes were bloodshot, red and puffy from tears. She looked into the mirror in the restroom and washed her face. She saw that she couldn't go out like this.

She looked over to the one thing she hated as much as robots, makeup. "Just some of dat face stuff dat makes your skin look smooth..." she thought out loud.

February had given her a makeup kit for her birthday. Taz hated it and wanted to throw it away, but she knew she had to keep the gift for a while until she could give it away or throw it out so February thought she liked it when she didn't. Also, Up told her to keep it just in case if she needed it, and she always did what Up told her.

She timidly put on the foundation, covering her eyes pretty well that made it still the same color as the rest of her body, "I'm actually pretty okay at dis..." she started twirling around her foundation brush, "and I thought I could never—" she hit herself in the face with the brush, "Ow—" she rubbed forehead where she had accidentally hit.

She put down the brush and grabbed her key to the room sense Up's handprint was for the scanner. She jogged down to the nursery to where she saw Dr. Peterson standing.

"Hello Lieutenant." He said happily.

"Hola... so?"

"Taz, come sit." He lead her to a seat and he sat across from her.

"So, what can jou guys do?"

"Taz... the only way we can save Up is—is..." he didn't want to say it, thinking it could hurt Taz, but he had to force it out.
