The next day Tasha was let out of the hospital. She was, to her dismay, accompanied by Tala and Kai.
"Now it would be best if Miss Royds stayed at one of your houses for the next few days just incase…"
So against her wishes, Kai complied with the doctor's advice and forced her to come home with him.
The whole ride home she sat in silence with her arms crossed and a blank look on her face. Tala and Kai had long stopped trying to talk to her as she just ignored them and refused to even look at them.
They pulled into Kai's drive and she hopped out of the car and walked slowly to the door. Tala and Kai looked at each other with a sigh. Kai opened the door and she walked in, still without a glance at them.
Tala sighed and muttered about needing to use the bathroom and walked off.
Kai looked at Tasha, who was just staring at the floor. "Tasha...?"
No acknowledgement what so ever. He stood behind her and put his hands on her shoulders. "Natasha you can't ignore me forever."
"… I can try."
He rolled his words at her words. "You are being childish. Stop it."
She turned around to face him. "I am NOT childish. Fuck you!"
Kai raised an eyebrow at her sudden outburst but didn't say anything.
"I really wish you'd keep the fuck out of my life!"
"Oh for fuck's sake! Why's that? So you can kill yourself? Grow up."
A moment's silence; then her eyes flashed dangerously before she slammed her fist into his cheek. He stumbled slightly, not expecting the hit.
"YOU grow up! You selfish bastard! You have no idea what I'm going through!" She made a run towards the door but Kai was too fast and grabbed her wrist and pulled her back and held onto her tightly.
"You're right! I don't have an idea. Because you won't tell me anything!"
"For good reason! Nosey asshole!"
She pounded her fists into his chest trying to inflict damage. Unfazed, Kai held her until she was just a quivering mess of tears and shakes. She fell again his chest and sobbed into it.
Tala walked back into the room and blinked at the sudden change in Tasha's emotions and Kai's affection as he stood there and held her.
Kai spotted Tala and ignored him as he rubbed Tasha's back. This didn't make him vulnerable did it?
Slowly her breathing evened out and soon she was dozing against him. He leaned down and picked her up bridal style and motioned Tala to follow as he carried her to a spare room upstairs.
Kai gently lied her down and pulled the covers over her and stood back.
"Funny how she always ends up here isn't it?" Tala said almost whispering.
'Yeah, funny'. Kai thought sarcastically to himself.
Around three hours later, Tasha stirred and woke up. The room was slightly dark as twilight was setting in. She recognized this room as the one she was in before when she was here.
Wondering what she should do, she hugged her knees and bit her lip.
She jumped a foot in the air when an AFI song starting playing. Realizing it was her phone, she shakily reached over and grabbed it and flipped it open.
"… Hello?"
"Tash how's it going?" She cringed at Sam's voice.
"… Ok." She replied in a small voice.
She heard someone speak to him in the background. "Yeah… I said yes! Tash I'll text you ok?"
He hung up the phone and less than a minute later, her phone beeped with a text message.
'Sorry my sister wanted me to take a picture of her. Anyways meet me in the park in 10 minutes. Don't be late.'
She gulped slightly at the threat at the end. What should she do?
Her mind went back to the party and decided that if she didn't go, he was more than likely going to hunt her down and hurt her.
'Maybe I should face him…'
She put her phone on the pillow and walked over to the window and looked down. 'Ok I've done this once before… it's not that hard…' She thought. She slowly made her way down and ran to the park.
Kai and Tala were sitting in the study playing cards.
"2 pair."
"Fuck you Kai."
"Isn't my fault you keep losing."
Tala sighed and threw his cards down in frustration. "I give up. Whatever!"
Kai smirked. "Cry baby."
"Shut it!"
He shook his head. "You think we should go and check on Natasha and see if she's hungry?"
Tala nodded and stood up. "Last one there is a rotten egg!" He yelled before running off.
Kai rolled his eyes and bolted off.
"I still don't see how you beat me."
"Seriously Tala just admit you are second to me."
"Never!"
They pushed open the door and walked in.
"What the… where is she?!"
Kai walked over to the empty bed. He spotted the phone lying on the pillow and picked it up. A blank look on his face.
"We have to go find her. Now."
"Ok… but why?"
A dark look crossed Kai's face. He passed the phone to Tala. "That's why."
Kai and Tala were practically running to the park.
"Tinnerman doesn't have a sister!"
"Yeah but she doesn't know that. And that's not what I'm worried about. He wrote 'don't be late'. He was threatening her Tala. I think she's lying to us about him."
They reached the park and looked around.
"Where now?"
"I can't see anything its pitch black."
"Sshh! Listen…."
They both strained to hear when they heard two muffled voices near by.
They walked over slowly, being as inconspicuous as possible. Hiding behind a bush, they looked through and saw Tasha and Sam standing some 15 feet away. They could hear them talking.
"Did you tell anyone?"
"…. No"
"I'm serious Tasha you better not have."
"I didn't. I promise."
"Good. You know I care about you right?"
They watched as Tasha just shrugged, her eyes glued to the ground.
"I said 'right'?!" His voice was laced with threats.
"… Then why would you hurt me?" Her voice was so quiet, so close to a whisper that they almost didn't hear.
"Oh be realistic Tasha. Girls are only good for one thing. Don't you want to be good for me?"
Kai growled almost inaudibly while Tala had to stop himself leaping out of the bushes.
Tasha took a step back. "… I'm not a toy Sam."
Sam's eyes narrowed dangerously. "You will do as I say you stupid wench!" He almost yelled as he punched her across the face knocking her to the ground.
Kai and Tala jumped out of the bushes at that.
"Tinnerman don't you dare touch her you fucking bastard!"
Sam looked over at them bemused. "Well well look who it is."
Tasha looked over and cringed when she saw them. She remained on the ground, embarrassed and rather cold with a bruise appearing on her face.
They took a step forward but stopped when Sam pulled out a gun. "Take one step further and I'll shoot your beloved wench." He said, pointing the gun at Tasha.
All three pairs of eyes widened.
Sam looked at Tasha. "So you did tell them?"
She shook her head almost violently. "… I don't know how they knew…" she replied in a small voice.
Tala held up her phone. "Maybe this is why?"
Kai's eyes narrowed at Sam. "Do tell us Tinnerman. Does Tasha know that you don't have a sister? Or have you been keeping your other girlfriends a secret from her?"
Tasha blinked and looked at all of them confused. "W-what?"
Sam only smirked in reply. "Yeah it's true. So what? You were just a nobody. An opportunity to get some. The truth hurts doesn't it?"
Tasha stood up ignoring the pain. "You are a fucking cunt!"
Sam growled and cocked the trigger. "Don't you dare speak to me that way"
"Tasha don't…"
She looked at Tala. "Keep out of this Tala. This doesn't concern you anymore."
"Of course it concerns us!"
"Kai just get out of here."
If the situation wasn't so serious, the guys might have died from her calling them by their first names. But Sam pointing the gun at Tasha who was choosing the wrong moment to speak back wasn't exactly the time to point that out.
Sam grabbed Tasha by the arm and pushed her over to Kai and Tala. Stumbling slightly, she almost fell over but was stopped by Tala catching her.
Regaining herself, she straightened up but leant back against Tala when she saw Sam pointing the gun at them.
"Maybe I should just kill you all and hide the bodies. I don't think anyone will miss you."
Nobody said anything. He pointed the gun at Tasha again. "You should be first. I'm sick of seeing your face. Any last words?"
Squeezing Kai's hand tightly, she looked at Sam with not one ounce of fear in her eyes.
"Yeah I got five for you."
He raised an eyebrow. "Yeah?"
"Go to hell you bastard."
And then he shot…
