HERE WE GO!
___________________________________________________________________________
Y/n's POV:
Wanna know something that is really shit? When you start to get to know someone and you begin to develop an emotional attachment only to find out that they probably don't feel the same as they are dating someone else.
I can't believe this has happened to me twice now.
Fucking twice, can you believe that shit?
"What do you look so pissed about?" I hear Anika ask me, I look over at her, sitting up and adjusting in my seat,
"Nothing."
"Clearly it's something."
"It's nothing—"
"—Wow, you seem really bothered by th—"
"—Anika, I'm not bothered." I state, patting her back and making her laugh. Mindy comes back and sits down, sighing and drinking her own can.
"Whatever you say." She replies, I roll my eyes as she leans back with a smug look on her face; I glance around the party, seeing Tara stumbling into the kitchen, smiling and giggling, I really wanna talk to her but I feel like I might bother her from her goal of the night.
"You think she's okay?" I ask, looking over at Mindy and Anika seeing them looking confused. "Tara, I mean... Sam doesn't know she's here and everything." I explain to them, noticing Anika look at me doubtfully while Mindy simply sighs.
"She'll be fine." Mindy tells me, sending me an assuring nod and smile but I don't believe it. I'm still nervous that something's going to happen to her and I don't want anything to happen to Tara. I don't want her to get hurt, again. She's been hesitant on telling me with what happened in Woodsboro but I've heard a lot from Sam and it seems so scary. I'm surprised she's not wanting to be curled up into a ball and hidden away from the world, I know I would.
"I gotta talk to her." I confess, glancing over at them and taking a sip of my beer.
"Go talk to her then." I hear Anika say to me, I try to send her the look that it's important. "Oh, that talk."
"Mhm." I let out, nodding my head.
"Listen, you're gonna be interfering between her and my brother, I'm very torn." I hear Mindy confess, I nod my head lightly.
"I know, and I'm sorry." I apologise to her, sincerely. "You can hate me if you want." I add, she chuckles softly.
"Hey, gotta support fellow lesbians, right?" She says, moving her beer bottle close to me, I clink mines against hers and we both cheers to that, I get up.
"I'm gonna go talk to her, I think." I confess, noticing Anika begin to smile.
"Good luck."
"Thanks." I thank her,
"Good luck, dude." I hear Mindy say, sighing softly and continuing to watch from afar. I head into the kitchen and watch as Tara leaves with some fuck-face, I know him of course, fucking Frankie, but I don't want to believe that it's stupidly with him.
"Woah, woah—" I reach out and manage to lightly grab Tara's wrist, tugging her closer to me. She turns to me, "Hey, Tara. Where you headed?" I ask, worried.
"Oh, hello." I hear the guy say,
"I'm not talking to you." I state, looking back at Tara. "What're you doing?"
"We're gonna get some drinks in his room, you want one?" She offers, her smile slightly crooked.
"No, uh, I think it's best if you stay down here." I suggest to her, my eyes glancing between hers as I feel myself beginning to get lost in her eyes.
"Relax, Y/n L/n, I got it." I hear Frankie say, nudging me back lightly. I push his arm and go to push him but Tara moves me,
"Hey— Y/n! Y/n, wait." I hear her say, stopping me.
"You got a fucking problem?" I ask him, aggravated. He chuckles softly, shaking his head lightly.
"Yeah, actually." I hear him say, "You're in my way." He states, pushing me away and gripping Tara's arm, dragging her away. I hear Tara hiss in pain,
"Ow— Ow!" I hear her exclaim, I immediately step toward him, gripping his t-shirt and pushing him, he lets go of Tara's arm and I quickly move past her attempt to stop me, I grip his t-shirt, punching him and then having him against the wall.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, huh?" I ask him, pushing him against the wall again. "What the fuck—?"
"—Fuck you, Y/n—!"
"—Frankie, shut the fuck up!" I shout at him, slapping his face. Before going to continue to interrogate him on why he think's it's okay to hurt Tara like that.
"Hey, woah—! Woah, easy girl." I hear Chad say, getting me off of Frankie.
"Get off!" I exclaim, managing to get out of his grip. Him almost stumbling into Mindy. "He fucking hurt Tara." I inform him, noticing his whole demeanour change. His face falls and he fills with anger.
"What?!" He asks, annoyed. He holds Frankie against the wall, "What'd you do to my girlfriend?" He shouts at him, I move over to Tara and rest my right hand on her cheek while my left rests on her forearm, I inspect her as I say,
"Are you okay, are you hurt? Let me look at you—"
"—Hey, I'm okay— Y/n— I'm okay! I'm fine." I hear her say to me, I look into her eyes and I feel my shoulders sink before hearing a punch, I look to see Chad stumbling back. "Shit, Y/n—!"
"—Did you just hit him?" I ask Frankie,
"What's it look like, freak?" He asks me, I let out a soft chuckle and push my tongue against my right cheek, raising my right eyebrow before sending him a right hook. Everyone oohing. I push him against the wall, hitting him twice before I feel Sam lightly nudge me,
"Hey— Hi, yeah, just gonna tase you in the balls." She announces, tasing him in the balls. My mouth falls open in shock and I feel Anika and Ethan begin to direct me away, not realising that everyone was beginning to leave.
***
We arrive home after Sam and Tara's argument and I feel really bad for Sam, I tried to talk to her but she said how she just wanted some space which I understand.
"Hey, are you okay?" I hear Mindy ask me, glancing at my hands then at me. I look down at my hands and I see that there are cuts on my knuckles and that there is still blood on my hands, I sigh, letting my shoulders fall.
"Tonight is such a mess." I complain, groaning softly.
"Here, lemme help." I hear Mindy say, "Babe, I'll be back." I hear her say,
"What's going—? Oh, hey, Honey. How're your knuckles?" Anika asks me, resting her hand in my hair and giving my head scratches, I rest my head on her stomach. Anika and Mindy have always been like mom's to me, so, this? This is normal but it doesn't make me appreciate it any less. I love our moments like this.
"They're really sore." I complain, seeing Mindy sit in front of me and begin to clean my cuts while Anika comforts me, combing her fingers through my hair. "Ow—Ow—Ow—!"
"—I know, I know, shh... it's okay. It'll be done— see? There we go, all done." I hear Mindy say, I sigh softly and she begins to bandage my hand up, I inspect my right hand and I'm beginning to feel a lot of pain in my wrist and in my knuckles, I think the adrenaline is wearing off.
"I think the adrenaline is wearing off, my knuckles and wrist are beginning to be sore." I complain, seeing Anika pout.
"I'm sorry, Honey. Let me get you medicine." I hear her say, moving herself away from me which makes me slightly sad but I know she'll be back.
"You did good... protecting Tara, I mean." I hear Mindy say to me, I send her a short smile that she returns.
"Thanks, Minds." I thank her, sending her my sweetest smile.
"No problem." She replies, smiling at me.
"Here you go, my little fighter." I hear Anika say, handing me water and Advil. I take the Advil then swallow it with water the first try, I hum excitedly.
"I did it first try!" I say, excitedly.
"Aww, well done." I hear Mindy say, patting my thigh in comfort and Anika letting me rest my head on her stomach while her fingers comb through my hair again. Chad exits Tara's room, sighing and looking upset.
"Chad, you okay?" I ask him, Mindy turning to him and her smile immediately dropping.
"Hey, what's going on?" Mindy asks him,
"Tara wants Y/n." I hear him announce,
"What?"
"She wants to talk to Y/n, I don't know why. She won't talk to me." I hear him complain, sighing and walking into the kitchen, looking at me. "Please find out and please help her."
"Of course, I'll be right back." I answer, Anika removes her hand from my hair and I stand up, heading to her room. I knock on her door, waiting for an answer.
"Go away." I hear her say,
"I... It's me." I answer in reply, hoping that she'll tell by my voice.
"Y/n?"
"Yeah. Yeah, it's me." I answer in reply,
"Come in, please." I hear her say, I open the door and step inside, shutting the door behind me. She walks over and locks the door then grabs my sore wrist, I clench my jaw in pain as she directs me to her bed. Both of us sitting down. She releases her hand from my wrist but then looks at it, "Oh— I'm so sorry, I didn't realise—"
"—No, it's—"
"—Are you—? Oh—"
"—Oh." I say over her 'Oh', "You—You go first." I let her say, she chuckles softly.
"I just wanted to ask if you are okay?" She asks me, I look down at my wrist, lifting it up and pretending to inspect it.
"Seems alright." I answer in reply, earning a small laugh from her. "You wanted to see me?" I ask her, she nods her head.
"Yeah, uh, I... I wanted to talk to you." She informs me, I nod my head lightly and she clears her throat, adjusting in her seat. "I, uh, I wanted to thank you... for—for stopping me from going upstairs with Frankie." She expresses to me, I narrow my eyes and tilt my head slightly, "So... thank you. Really."
"Tara, you..." I clear my throat, shutting my eyes for a moment before opening them and moving closer to her. "you don't have to thank me for that, I just... I didn't think it was a good idea and—"
"—And you were right, it wouldn't have been a good idea." She agrees, I nod my head lightly and hum softly. "I'm sorry you had to fight him... for me to realise." She apologises to me, I rest my hand on her thigh and use my thumb to stroke her thigh,
"It's okay, I'd do it all over again without any hesitation." I express to her, sincerely. Noticing her eyes glance between mines before falling lower, my eyes not being able to pull away from her lips. "Your outfit is really nice tonight, I like your make up as well." I compliment her, noticing her cheeks turn a little red and a smile tug on her lips as she lets her leg move off of the bed and she moves closer to me, I do the same, joining her in the closeness of one another.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah." I confess, without any hesitation. Noticing her smile as her eyes move between mines before falling lower then continuing to do the triangle. My eyes doing the same before my eyes can't pull away from her lips. I bit my bottom lip and I rest my hand behind her as I inch closer... and closer... and closer. "Are you okay with this?" I ask her, she raises her eyebrows and smiles softly.
"Okay with what?"
"Tara, I really want you to know that I'd protect you like I did tonight every night if..."
"If?" She asks, spurring me on.
"If I was yours." I state, speaking in a soft breath. Noticing her eyes glance between mines. She bites her bottom lip. Then looks at my lips, looking into my eyes.
"And how would you kiss me..." She begins, adjusting in her spot. I rest my hand between her legs, leaning in. Having my lips being an inch away from hers, "if I were yours?" She concludes in a soft whisper, I immediately surge forward. Resting my right hand on her cheek and pulling her toward me, desiring her more and more the kiss went on.
I feel her lean forward but when I add more dominance to the kiss, she begins to lean back. I move my body between her legs, her legs wrapping around my waist and I move her up. Letting her head rest against a pillow as our lips don't pull apart for a second. I am so glad that I am kissing her. I think I'm finally going to heaven now. I feel her hands rest on the back of my neck, pulling me closer to her before...
We both hear footsteps close to the door and we pull away from one another. I move beside her and both of us are quiet and breathless. I hear the footsteps fade away and I look at her, touching my lips. I look over at her for guidance and she is blushing and looking away from me before looking at me, my eyes fall to the duvet and I then look back up at her,
"I like you so much, Tara." I confess to her, noticing her sit up with me and our bodies being close to one another.
"Is that so?" She asks me, I nod my head and smile widely. Moving my body on top of hers and feeling her smile so widely, she moves her index finger over my neckless and tugs me down, her leaning up and kissing me. I kiss her back and I hold myself up with my right hand and with my left hand, my hand rests on her waist, moving to her back before moving back to her waist. Feeling our bodies pressing against one another. I pull away after a moment before placing a short kiss on her lips that she returns before sitting up.
"I'll give you some alone time to think, okay?" I say to her, noticing her eyes flutter open and tilt her head. I take a deep sigh in, "It seems as if you have a decision to make and I don't wanna interfere more than I already have." I express to her, trying to leave but Tara tugs me back,
"Stay." I hear her say, I look into her eyes, trying to find any doubt but nope, I lie back down with her, kicking my shoes off. "Let's just... Let's just sleep, yeah?" She asks me, I nod my head and sit up,
"Come on, let's go take your make up off, pretty girl." I say to her, standing up and moving to her side of the bed, offering my hands, she takes it and I pull her up, taking her to her bathroom. I grab the make up removers and after she does something I begin to wipe her make up off for her.
"You don't have to do this, you know?"
"I know but after this crazy night, you deserve to be taken care off." I express to her, noticing her smile widely as her eyes flutter shut while I continue to wipe the make up off of her face for her. I like taking care of Tara, I wanna do it forever if I can.
*****
I wake up to feeling movement and I groan, wiping my eyes and beginning to stretch. I look around and I see Tara climbing back into bed,
"Hey, sorry, I was just... talking to Chad." She informs me, I feel my heart begin to drop but I watch her lie down beside me, cuddling into me. "We're... broken up." I hear her state, my eyes widen for a split second and I hum softly,
"Are you okay—?"
"—It was my idea." She informs me, I nod my head lightly.
"Ah, right..." I let out, quietly. "Still, though. Are you okay?" I ask her, adjusting and feeling her rest her head on my chest. I wrap my arms around her, both of us cuddling into one another.
"I will be." She tells me in reply, "I just... think we should hold back a little around everyone else, though." I hear her add,
"Wait, does this mean...?" I begin to ask, she removes her head from my chest and I feel her kiss me, her breath already minty while I'm just waking up and embarrassed. I kiss her back though and feel her pull away, smiling widely.
"If you want too."
"Of course, I want too." I agree, nodding my head and kissing all over her face. "Now, let me go brush my teeth then I'll come right back to bed."
"Ugh, stay with me!" She says, clinging onto me but I manage to get out of bed, she groans. "You don't need too right now, come back to bed, baby." I hear her say, butterflies shooting to my stomach. I turn to her and see her smiling widely, I sigh softly and kiss her forehead then step back.
"I'm brushing my teeth." I say to her, her groaning and lying back down. I brush my teeth in her bathroom and once I'm done, I brush my hair then give it a little zhuzh. I smile to myself then open the door, turning the light off and heading over toward the bed. "Did you sleep okay?" I ask her, crawling back into bed. She immediately cuddles into me and I cuddle into her. Not wanting to move.
"Yeah, yeah, I slept like a baby." She confesses to me, I smile and kiss her head. "How's your hand, is it okay?"
"Painful but worth it." I confess to her, hearing her laugh softly.
I'm so happy.
