"Hey." Isaac said as he grabbed onto her hand, "Look at me, please."

When Tara looked up at him, she saw everything in his eyes but sadness, "It's okay and you shouldn't be upset about."

Isaac grinned at Tara as he pushed her shoulder slightly to get Tara to crack a smile, "And your hot when your mad." Isaac said making Tara chuckle and punch his arm, "Shut up."

After a short moment, Tara got silent again and looked down, "It's just after what happened last year. I don't want that it's affects my future. I mean look at you, you never really go out and when you do someone recognize's you for something your not. And what if it's happen's again. I guess I'm scared and don't want it to happen again."

"I know it's hard and that I can't promise you that it won't happen again but there is one thing that I can promise you." Isaac said, "Yeah, what's that?"

"That I won't leave no matter how mad you get at me for protecting you, the only thing that's important to me is that you and Sam are okay and safe, you two are the only family I have." Isaac said as he looked at Tara with a sad smile on his face.

"But what is if it happens again?" Tara questioned quietly, "And they trie to kill you."

As Isaac doesn't say anything, Tara looks back up and sees that he is already looking at her, their faces where inches away from each other's, Isaac nodded his head, "I would kill them first." Tara didn't say anything just looked into his eyes, that where telling her everything he said was true, "I'd kill them... just for you."

Isaac didn't register what happened at first, but soon kissed back as Tara had smashed their lips together, his hands went to the girls waist, kissing her slightly harder than before, it was something he had longed for ever since their first kiss. Tara pulled away for air, but directly after pulled Isaac back in and kissed him wanting more, the kiss was getting more and more heated as Tara wrapped her arms around the boys neck and pulled im closer to her.

Both where smiling into the kiss, Isaac licked her bottom lip, asking for entrance which Tara granted him without any hesitation. Neither Isaac nor Tara wanted the moment to end but the opening of the door brought upon them.

"Did I leave my phone-." Someone said, making the pair on the bed pull away from each other immediately, as they did they saw Quinn standing at the door looking at the two of them, "Oh shit. Um did - did I just cock block you?"

"What?" Tara asked at the same time as Isaac, making Quinn smile, "I cock blocked you both."

"Uh," Isaac sat on Tara's bed, staring at Quinn as he heard Tara speak up, "Don't ever walk in like that."

"Right, sorry." She apologised and grabbed her phone that she had left earlier, "Just left my phone..."

Isaac cleared his throat awkwardly as he stood up from the bed, "I guess, I will go back in my room and grab a shower."

"Okay, but come back." Tara said from where she was sat.

After a quick shower to wash of the drink that was spilled on him early in the evening, Isaac was sat together with the rest of the group in the living room watching the news, as they saw what had happened everyone in the room was either anxious or confused on why the other's reacted the way they did.

Isaac sighed as he looked at everyone who was watching the tv, "I'll get Sam." He said as he knew that she was still downstairs with Danny.

"I'll go." Chad said as he was already standing and directly jogged out, the group could hear him call out for Sam.

Isaac looked over to Tara and as her eyes not once left the tv, it was clear that she was scared, Isaac grabbed Tara's hand trying to give her some comfort. Making Tara look at him, she saw the fear in his eyes the same way he could see that she was scared, "It'll be okay, your gonna be okay, I promise."

Tara just hold his hand tighter in her's, soon Sam rushed into the apartment after Chad. Danny also came along as he was holding a box of beer, Sam looked at everyone, "What's going on?"

Quinn smiled as she pointed over to Danny, "Cute boy, nice."

Isaac pointed over to the tv while Sam stood next to Chad, watching the man on the news explain what had happened recently. Mindy looked up at Sam as she was sat together with Anika, "Holy shit, that's that chode from our films studies class."

This made Tara look up at Sam as she knew that she wouldn't take the news well, the older one of the two Carpenter walked over to the kitchen, both Tara and Isaac followed after, "Pack a bag, we leave in ten!"

"Sam!" Tara said trying to get her attention and to stop her.

"We're getting out of the city." Sam told her sister as she grabbed a knife, "You to Isaac."

Danny furrowed his eyebrows as he stepped towards Sam, "What?"

Chad went over to him and placed his hand on the man's chest making him step back, "Sorry man, but you should leave, have some of your beer, and we need you to go, have a good night."

Danny looked at him confused as Chad guided him out of the apartment, as he left Chad locked the apartment up.

"Wait, no! Let's talk about this for a second." Tara begged as she followed after her sister who had walked back into the living room, "Cause this might not habe anything to do with us."

This made Sam stop walking as she turned towards her sister, looking down at the girl, "Are you serious?"

"It's a big city! It's Halloween. Everybody's wearing masks!" Tara pointed out as she pointed towards the tv who still played the news.

"Tara!" Sam shook her head as she stepped towards her sister, "Tara, this isn't a coincidence. You knew him."

"Barely." Tara said, making Sam look over to the rest of the group, "Chad, Mindy, Isaac, back me up here."

Chad shrugged his shoulders, "I mean, it's a little bit..."

"Close to home..." Mindy finished while looking at Sam.

"I mean we don't know anything it could be." Isaac said but hoped that it hadn't had anything to do with them.

Sam nodded her head as she looked back at her younger sister, "See..."

Tara stood in silent's for a moment, before she turned towards Quinn, "Quinn, your dad's a cop right, can you call him and find out what's going on?" She then turned towards her sister, "Before you make the utilitarian decision to abandon my college education and flee the fucking state."

Quinn stood up and grabbed her phone ready to make the phone call, "I'm calling him now."

Isaac was going to say something but the phone on the dining table started to ring making everyone jump, while Sam walked over slowly, checking to see who was calling her.

"Who's calling you?" Isaac asked as Sam grabbed the phone, taking a look before declining. Ethan looked at everyone from where he was sat, "Why did everyone just freak out when her phone rung?"

"You gotta keep up, my dude." Anika said as she looked over to Ethan who was confused on why everyone was freaking out.

Quinn stood up from where she was sat and walked over to Sam with her phone, "Sam, my dad wants to talk to you."

Making Sam grab the phone, "Mr.Bailey, hi."

Sam furrowed her eyebrows as she was listening to what the detective was saying to her, "Oh, my sister thinks, I'm probably overreacting." Sam the looked concerned over to Isaac, "What do you mean? What's going on?"

After they hung up, Sam passed the phone back to Quinn as she sighed and run a hand through her hair, "What did he say?" Isaac questioned as he had seen the way Sam looked at him.

Sam just looked at Isaac, "Come on, Isaac. We need to go to the station, he wants us both there, right now."

Isaac stood up as he knew asking Sam questions know would only make her more irritated, so he nodded his head and walked over to Sam, as she told the rest to stay in the apartment and to lock the door.
