Climbing out of the ambulance after being patched up, Tara looked at the old theater sadly. Even through the night of terror, she'd somehow managed a happy moment in there. A moment that had soon been ruined when attacked by Quinn. After dancing around the
will they, won't they with Chad the past couple of days, the two had finally shared a moment and kissed. For a few seconds Tara had felt safe and been able to forget about the murders now happening around them again. But of course, the moment couldn't last, and now Chad was dead. She felt sick to her stomach with grief.
Tara was so lost in her own grief, remember Chad getting stabbed. She had tried to run towards him, wanting to try to protect him somehow, but Sam had held her back. Of course she understood why Sam did it, not wanting Tara to get hurt anymore than she already had, but Tara was still upset she hadn't been able to help Chad. A few tears escaped her eyes, streaming down her cheeks.
"Tara... hey. What's wrong?" Sam asked after Kirby nodded her head towards the younger Carpenter sister.
Looking at her sister, Tara couldn't hold it back. Her lip trembled slightly, more tears cascading from her eyes. "It's Chad..." she choked out. She was about to tell her sister about their shared kiss, how happy he had made her.
"We've got another one here!" a voice from one of the paramedics rang out from the doors.
Tara looked over anxiously. Was it one of the three that tried to kill them, or... "Chad!" She gasped, a smile creeping across her lips again the second she saw him. She turned and ran over. "How did you..." she asked with a smile, he smiled back at her from behind the mask, holding up four fingers. "Core
f u c k i n g four," Tara grinned happily.
Without even thinking about it, Tara lift the mask off his face and leaned in, kissing him. When she pulled away she let out a laugh, putting the mask back. "Sorry, you probably need that," she smiled leaning in to kiss his forehead this time. They were going to have a lot to discuss later about what exactly that kiss meant for their futures. But for now, she was just happy he had made it. She wasn't sure how he'd made it, but she was thankful.
