Chad held Alexa's hand as they squeezed through the crowd. Alexa saw what was going on, the same boy who grabbed Alexa was now dragging Tara up the stairs.
"Hey, partner! Tara stays downstairs," Chad shouted over the music. "Sorry buddy, I didn't catch that," chuckled Frankie. "Yeah, you did," Chad said as Frankie walked up to him. "Chad, it's fine. I want it," Tara tried to reassure her friend.
"See Chad?" asked Frankie with a grin. "I want to, really," muttered Tara. "She wants it," laughed Frankie. "Does she even know you tried the same on me?" Alexa spoke up. Tara turned around with a jerk.
Alexa, her friend. The friend who almost took her life a few months ago.
"Whatever, slut. Come on," Frankie said as he pulled Tara along. Tara stumbled and fell down the stairs. Chad had enough and pulled Frankie down the stairs.
"Don't call her that!" he yelled as he gave Frankie a shove. "Get the fuck off!" yelled Frankie as he pushed Chad back.
"Guys!" yelled Tara irritated as she slowly stood up. Chad punched Frankie in the face. Frankie stumbled backward and fell over Alexa's leg, which she held out. "Fucking jerks," Frankie muttered as he reached for his nose.
Out of nowhere came Sam who pushed her way past Alexa. "Sorry to interrupt, but I'll tase you in the balls real quick," Sam said calmly. "Wait, what?" asked Frankie. Sam grabbed her taser and tased him in the balls. Frankie cried out in pain and reached for his balls.
"Sam, are you fucking kidding me?" asked Tara angrily to her sister. Tara stormed off while Chad and Alexa ran after her. "Good shot, where did you learn that?" asked Alexa to the tall boy next to her. "When I fought your sister," Chad muttered. "Great," Alexa muttered sarcastically.
"Tara wait!" Sam begged. "I can't believe you did that. You embaressed me!" yelled Tara angrily. "That guy was a dick. He wanted to take advantage of you," Sam told her. "So?! If I want to hook up with an asshole, then that's my decision. You've been out of my life for five years and now you can't leave me alone for five minutes!" Tara yelled at her.
"You're not dealing with what happened to us. Have you even gone to therapy?" Sam asked. "No, and I'm not going to. I don't wanna live in the past anymore like you are! And I'm even fine now Alexa is running around free!" Tara yelled frustrated. "What's that supposed to mean?" Sam asked her. "It means that I don't let those three days define the rest of my life," sighed Tara. "And Alexa is literally behind you, but of course you didn't noticed."
Sam turned around and saw the oldest Freeman sister next to Chad. Her heart was racing. She didn't think she would be so nervous seeing Alexa again.
"So you're gonna pretend it never happened?" Sam asked with a scoff to change the subject about Alexa. "What are you doing here Sam? In New York? You're working two shitty jobs, but what's your plan? Because I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna study, I'm going to college and gonna live my life. My life!" Tara yelled to her sister. "And leave those three shitty days behind me. I'm not afraid of Alexa anymore. But you are. At least she's getting better on her own way."
It was true. Alexa was forced to go to therapy twice a week and medications had been prescribed for her to control misbehavior.
"I just want you to be safe," whispered Sam with tears in her eyes. "I...I know," sighed Tara irritated. "You can't do it for the rest of my life though," said Tara as she pointed to Sam. "You have to let me go."
"Hey!" screamed a girl. Sam turned around and the girl threw some beer on Sam her white sweater. Sam gasped. "Murderer!" screamed the girl. Her friends started filming. Sam charged forwards but Chad and Tara stopped her. But they forgot about Alexa.
Alexa pushed the girl over and kicked her in the stomach. "Lexa, stop!" yelled Tara as she let go of her sister.
One of the girl's friends grabbed her Coke and threw it over Alexa. Alexa pushed the girl's arm aside and wanted to attack the girl, but Chad was ahead of her, "Calm down."
"Stay away from them! They know what they did," teased the girl. "I didn't do anything!" screamed Sam as she wanted to run to the girl again. "Yeah sure," laughed the girl.
Chad let Alexa go. "Fucking bitch," Alexa muttered under her breath as Chad put an arm around her. Alexa tried to control her breath again when Ethan suddenly started walking beside her.
"I...I have some tissues for you. I've got three tissues," said Ethan nervously as he gave them to Alexa. "Thank you, Eth," Alexa whispered with a soft smile as she grabbed the tissues. Ethan nodded and walked silently next to his friends.
"I'm getting so tired of this shit," Sam muttered as she squeezed out her sweater. "This is the first time this has happened to me," Alexa muttered as she looked at Sam again for the first time in months.
"That stupid bitch was filming too," Tara muttered. "I should have smashed her phone, that's not a crime, is it?" asked Alexa with a smile. Tara chuckled and shook her head.
Tara was glad Alexa was back. But she would never quite get the old Alexa back. And Alexa herself knew that too.
