𝟎𝟏𝟖 ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ Cowboy And His Space Girl

TIFFANY WALKED DOWN The New york streets she clenched her fists as she was walking behind the Carpenter sisters Chad quickly ran after her "Are you mad at me?" Tiffany had looked away from him "No I'm not i'm just pissed off that you didn't let me go that asshole was going to hurt Tara...and he called me a bitch." Chad nodded "Yea I'm sorry for holding you back I just didn't want you to do something stupid that wouldn't end well something that you would regret later." Tiffany shook her head "It's fine...my hand is kinda bloody tho." Chad had just instantly stopped in his tracks and grabbed her hand looking down at it

Chad had pushed his lips into a thin line "Damn his blood is on your knuckles." Tiffany chuckled and rolled her eyes slightly "Stop playing cowboy let's catch up." Chad nodded letting go off her hand and walking beside her as Anika Mindy Tashi and Ethan were behind them Tara sped down the new york's streets "I can't believe you did that you embarrassed me." Sam quickly defended herself "That guy was a dick he was gonna take advantage of you." Tara then whipped around "So?" Sam raised her eyebrow in disbelief "So?!" Tara quickly rambled "If I wanna hook up with an asshole that's my decision..."

Sam rolled her eyes looking away from her little sister "Okay." Tiffany butted in shaking her head "She's right T you weren't in the right headspace." Chad nodded standing next to his girlfriend and grabbing her hand Tara had looked towards her friend "That gives her the right to taze his balls and embarrass me infront of everyone? stay out of it Tiffany." Chad shook his head quickly defending his girlfriend "She's only trying to help." Tara rolled her eyes looking towards her sister ignoring Chad "You were out of my life for five years and now you can't leave me alone for five seconds." Sam stressed "Because your not dealing with what happened to us..." Sam then asked Tara "Have you even gone to see the therapist...?"

Tara shook her head "No because I'm uninterested in living in the past like you are." Sam raised her eyebrow "What's that supposed to mean?" Chad had tilted his head "Hey guys." Tara shook her head ignoring him once again "It means I'm not gonna let what happened to us for three days define the rest of my life." Sam raised her eyebrow "So you're just gonna pretend it never happened?" Tara shook her head and raised her eyebrow "What are you doing here, Sam? In New York You're working two shitty jobs to help with rent, whatever but what's your plan?
I know what I'm gonna do Okay? Because I'm gonna keep going to college I'm gonna get my degree and I'm gonna live my life My life."

Sam had shrugged looking down at the younger Carpenter "Okay? I know You just followed me here and you won't let me out of your sight." Sam had looked away "I'm just trying to look out for you." Tiffany had crossed her arms and sighed looking at the two argue Tashi had stood on the other side of her sister "Wait why is the little one so pissed?" Tiffany shook her head and whispered "She's had too much to drink...she's just spilling her guts out tho in front of everyone in nyc probably isn't the best place." Tashi had smirked before pulling away and kept watching

Tara sighed "I - I know I know you are you can't do it for the rest of my life tho." she had then added "You have to let me go." before Sam could even say anything some girl in a blue dress approached them "Hey!" she had then thrown her drink onto Sam making the Carpenter woman gasp she then spat "Murder!" Sam had yelled "What the fuck is wrong with you bitch?" she was about to run up on the girl Tiffany Chad and Tara quickly held her back as Sam asked "You got a problem with me?" the girl then told the group "You should stay away from her she knows what she did!" Sam spat "I didn't fucking do anything!" the girl rolled her eyes "Sure bitch..."

Sam then yelled "Walk away!" Tiffany rolled her eyes "Don't fucking try us we already gave someone a broken nose and tased someone's balls tonight!" the girls walked away and the three quickly let Sam go Tara continuing to walk back to the apartment complex Tiffany and Chad intertwining their hands and walking behind her so did the rest of the group Sam standing there alone until Ethan offered her some napkins Tashi standing with her curly haired friend as he handed the napkins to the Carpenter girl Tashi then looked over at Sam who just stared between her and Ethan "Come on Eth she needs some alone time..."

Ethan looked over at Tashi and nodded the two had walked behind the five up front Ethan looked over at Tashi "Did you uh - have fun at the halloween party?" he raised his eyebrow waiting for her response "It was fine...could've had better decor in my opinion but maybe I'm just being extra did you like it?" Ethan had stumbled over his words "Uh - I mean it was okay." Tashi hummed at his response nodding "We should probably keep on walking don't wanna get lost from the others - and plus Sam looks like she's gonna kill."

Once back at the Carpenter's place Tiffany sat on the bathroom sink sighing as Chad grabbed a rag soaked in cold water and placed it on her knuckles he had just delicately held her hand up and scrubbed the blood off of her knuckles sticking his tongue out as he was concentrated Tiffany had winced out as the cold water touched her skin she then looked up "Thanks for having my back in that argument..." Chad looked up at her taking the rag off her knuckles "Of course I always have your back." he then placed a kiss on her cheek "Your my girl." Tiffany chuckled slightly "Even after everything you took me back..."

Chad had grabbed the rag once again and placed it again of her knuckles "Why wouldn't I? we've been together so long." Tiffany nodded and looked down "But I broke up with you...I broke your heart." Chad shook his head seeing the guilt on his girlfriend's face "Hey?" he placed his hand on her cheek making her look up her eyes glossy "You broke up with me to protect me that's extremely romantic even tho I was the best football player at woodsbaro high and have big strong muscles...you still did that for me." Tiffany shook her head a tear trickling down her cheek "I just didn't want you to get hurt...and you still did..."

Guilt was all she felt for the past months that's all she felt part of the reason she agreed to go to the party was because she felt guilty for what happened in woodsbaro the other part was because she didn't want Chad to get hurt again she had nightmares about that happening nightmare that she feared would come true god Richie and Amber really fucked her up they didn't just take away her happiness they took away her love and that's something she yearned to get back
Chad had frowned seeing the tear stream from her eye he quickly swiped it with his finger causing her to sniffle "It's not your fault none of it is your fault Tiffy we all got hurt last year especially you...your leg."

Tiffany was still in pain from her leg but she only let Chad know that she didn't want the others worrying "I deserved it for breaking up with you...I should've just came clean about the blackmail that Amber had and went to the cops...maybe then you wouldn't have gotten hurt." she shook her head another tear trickling down her cheek Chad then held her face in his hands tilting her head so she could look up at him once she did he was then about to speak but the two were interrupted by Mindy who called out "Tiffany! Chad! you guys need to come in here right now!" both of the lovers looked towards the door Tiffany wiping her tears and standing up from the bathroom sink and looking up at her boyfriend who towered over her slightly he just gave her a sad smile "Come on..."

Chad then grabbed Tiffany's hand leading her out of the bathroom as they out of the hallway little did they know they weren't gonna like what Mindy was about to tell them...
