STABBED | Tara Carpenter X Male Reader

No Rest

Y/N chimes in "Who gives a fuck? There's no way they are going to survive that many shots"

Right before the elevator doors close Dewey steps out.

Y/N and Tara sit next to each other in the hospital parking lot. Tara is still crying after another near-death incident.

"I...thought...I was... going to die" Tara says in between sobs

Y/N frowns feeling for Tara, she has been through so much over the course of a few days, barely having time to rest or be safe. He stands up and pulls her into a hug. After a while Tara seems to calm down a little. Being in Y/N's arms helped her feel safe, something she hasn't felt in the past few days.

"You are safe now, they are not going to reach you" Y/N says breaking the silence

"Thank you, you are starting to be my knight in shining armor" Tara has a slight smile

"To be fair I wasn't the one with the gun" Y/N claims humbly.

The two laugh, having a brief moment of joy in the dark times the two have been put through. The two continue to talk until Tara is transported back to her room in the hospital. After a check in with the doctor Y/N walks into her room.

"How are you feeling?"

"Every time I get attacked, they give me better painkillers. So there is that"

The two smile

"So that means you are super high right now?"

"So high"

Y/N laughs while Tara checks her phone, her expression changing to more of a frown. Y/N notices the change.

"What's wrong?"

"Y'know Amber has only visited me one time this entire time, compared to what you have done for me I just expect more I guess"

Y/N noticed how Amber was never there and it angered him. How can you say you love someone and then never be there when they are going through a tough time?

"Maybe she is just busy, she didn't have the luxury of getting stabbed like me"

"That's why I'm so frustrated, you got stabbed and you're still here for me more"

"I'm sorry that she hasn't been here for you"

"It's okay Y/N, I'm starting to realize who is really here for me" Tara says with a slight smile "Can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah what is it?"

"Why didn't you ask me to prom?" she says with a growing smirk

Y/N suddenly was stuck, he was caught super off guard

"Earth to Y/N" Tara says waving her arms

Y/N snaps out of his shocked expression, "Um... you went with Wes remember, and I ..."

Before he can say more Sam walks in, saving him from the conversation he and Tara were having.

"I'm going to let you two talk" Y/N says as he walks out the room, on his way out Tara gives him a look that tells him that it wasn't over.

After a couple of minutes Sam walks out the door with Tara in a wheelchair.

"Where are you guys going?"

Sam speaks up, "We are getting the fuck out of Woodsboro, you joining?"

Y/N was surprised by this sudden decision but it made sense for Sam and Tara. It wasn't as clear for Y/N though, as he still had his parents and friends at Woodsboro.

"I don't know if I can, I would be leaving a lot behind"

Tara grabs his hand and gives him a pleading look. "Please.."

Y/N while still reluctant, thinks of a compromise.

"Alright, I'll come with you guys and help you guys get situated but after that I'm coming back"

Y/N, Richie, Sam, and Tara all entered the car and were on their way out of Woodsboro. Y/N was nervous for the entire car ride so far, afraid of Tara furthering the conversation from earlier. Tara was busy searching for something and it a sudden panic,

"MY INHALER! We have to stop at Amber's"

Sam and Y/N both curse under their breaths, Sam takes a second then decides the next plan of action.

"Five minutes, in and out"

Richie immediately looks at Sam

"Wait, What?"

Sam looks at Tara

"What is the address?"

Richie starts to protest

"123 no fucking way lane!"

Sam gives him a glare and tells him the address. Richie sighs and puts it into his GPS.

"Shit isn't a party happening there?" Y/N realizes, this isn't going to be as easy as it sounds
