"Tamsin, wait!" I hear her words just before the harsh slam of the door behind me.
"I'm done waiting" the words spit out of my mouth through gritted teeth. In no time, I am jumping into the driver's seat of my truck. The rumbling start of the engine echoes through my bones, I close my eyes and try to keep the darkness away for now. In the instant that my eyes shut, my mind races to images of Kenzi frantically clenching onto Hale's shoulders. Her face smothered with a combination of runny mascara, and Hale's blood; then the images of her bruises covering almost her entire tiny torso. I force a deep breath out, trying to harness my rage. My eyes snap open at the loud thuds pounding against the window next to me. I toss a long glare at the brunette standing on the other side of the glass as I lower the window, "WHAT?" I groan.
"Tamsin, you can't do this! Massimo, he's a bad guy, and Kenzi, she is my best friend, so trust me I want to tear him apart just as much as you do-"
"Then hop in succubus," I crooked my neck and offer a sarcastic smile knowing she would never.
"You can't kill him! Look Tamsin, I know you. Maybe in your past life, you'd be able to do this, but that's not you anymore." What a surprise, Bo always assuming what's best for everyone else. "And I know if you go through with this, you will never be able to forgive yourself, and I won't be able to forgive myself for letting you do that!"
"Bo," I growl, warning her to pick her words carefully.
"Look, I already let Kenzi down; I can't let you down too. I can't stand to watch both of you hurt yourselves like this."
"Really? Wow you sure can choose a great time to suddenly be considerate for someone other than yourself or Rainer." I was pleased with the harshness that the words came out with.
"Excuse me? What's that supposed to mean?" Her eyes changed, looking a combination of surprised and cautious as she takes a few steps away from the window.
I let out a long sigh as I step out of the truck and slam the door behind me.
"Look, I'm gonna hit you with a little dose of reality okay? You haven't given a damn about anybody, Bo! Not Kenzi, not Dyson, not Lauren, and sure as hell not me! So don't you dare come to me with your sad brown eyes, and your worried little tone, and claim to know what's best for me! Okay?"
I can see the hurt in her eyes, and I wonder if she can see the hurt in mine. God, she doesn't even know how much she hurts people. How much she's hurt Dyson. I don't want to let her hurt me like that.
"That's not true" she mutters her eyes turn cold as she steps closer to me.
"Are you sure? Kenzi was supposed to be your heart! You said that! Can't you see how broken she is? All she had was Hale. You left her when Rainer came along. YOU left her. You left everybody."
"I'm. Still. Here." Bo says angrily.
"No, Bo. You've been gone. But I'm here, I've been here. And I'm here for you too. But right now I need to do this for Kenzi."
"Tamsin," she reaches out and grabs my arm, but I can't deal with that right now. I brush her arm away and turn towards my truck.
"Look, Bo, I have to go make things right for Kenzi. She has been there for me more than anyone else in this lifetime, and I will be damned if I let the bastard who hurt her like that keep his head." As my hand reaches for the door handle I feel a soft pull on my left arm,
"Wait, I'm coming with you." Her voice was resolved and determined.
"Hop in." I meet her determined gaze with mine.
So I've been getting impatient with the way this season has been unraveling, hence my first fanfic story ever! I know it's kinda short, but I'm just trying to get a feel for it. I really appreciate any reviews or messages. Let me know what you all think, what you want to see, any changes I should make, or future suggestions. (Do you guys think this first-person dealio is alright? Or should I change that?) THANKS FOR READING.
