Breaking Free- chapter two- Moving Out

The morning sun warmed Ron's room and caused him to stir. As he opened his eyes the first thing he saw was Tara staring at him.

She smiled warmly before leaning in to kiss him.

"Good morning Ron," she said breaking the kiss.

"Hello to you too," he grinned and lay there gazing at her. Her blond hair was slightly disheveled, but that didn't stop Ron from running his fingers through it.

Tara closed her eyes and just lived the moment. She sighed several times before suddenly jumping on top of him. Ron was surprised, but remained calm and just stayed motionless.

Tara's bright blue eyes looked down at her lover underneath her and slowly began to descend until her face was mere inches from his.

"I love you," she whispered, her breath beating on his neck.

This was actually the first time he had heard her say that to him. He knew she loved him, but this was the first time her heard her speak it. Ron gave her a warm smile and lifted his head to meet her lips.

Now most parents would try and break this up since this was a perfect scenario for sex to happen; call them naïve, but both Tara and Ron feel that they only want to share that special moment with the one they are married to.

They are most likely the only two teenagers in Middleton that are still virgins. Ron's parents watched through the crack in the door and were glad to see Tara so happy with Ron.

Today was her eighteenth birthday and she had already decided she would move out of her parent's house and move in with Ron and his family. Mr. Stoppable led his wife downstairs and called for Ron and Tara.

As they came down Mrs. Stoppable imagined what Ron and Tara would be like when they were older. She remembered her times with her husband and quietly giggled.

Everyone had a quick breakfast and Ron and Tara went to school. As they walked together they looked at the buildings around them.

The entire place was dirty and covered with graffiti. They couldn't wait to leave this place in a few months. As the arrived at the school they were greeted by one of their only friends Felix; a guy who knew the inside and out of electronics. He also enjoyed videogames; and had decided to pursue it as a career.

"Hey Tara, Happy Birthday!" he said cheerfully handing her a small present.

She opened it to reveal a gift certificate to Club Banana, a big designer's clothing store.

"Thanks Felix," she replied giving him a hug. Soon the bell rang and the group made their way to their classes.

After a routine day cheerleading practice was next. Ron and Tara made their way to the gym and saw that the other girls were already dressed.

"Bonnie saw them and walked over to them, "You're late Tara, practice should have started fifteen minutes ago," she scowled.

"Yes, but I…" Tara had trouble opening her mouth until Ron spoke up.

"It was my fault I lost track of time," he said.

Bonnie looked at him and frowned, "Don't let it happen again."

Tara quickly changed and the practice started. Ron watched the flips and turns as the squad did their routine flawlessly.

After three hours of practice it was over and all the girls made their way to locker room to change.

Tara left early so she could grab her things from her house to move in. Ron offered to help, but she said that this was something she needed to do herself.

Ron grabbed his things and began to leave when Bonnie, Hope, and Liz made their way towards him; all looking upset.

"What's wrong now Bonnie?" he asked.

"You and Tara; that's what's wrong."

"What about me and Tara?" Ron was not in the mood for this and he had to get home to help set up Tara's welcome party.

"Tara is a great cheerleader and a nice girl, but sometimes she makes bad choices and I think you are a bad choice."

Ron had his back against the wall and was blocked on all sides by Bonnie's groupies.

"Look Bonnie I would love to chat and all, but I need to go somewhere so…" He was cut off by Bonnie's relentless rants.

"You Ron are not worthy of Tara; she deserves someone better than you. Someone like a football player, or an artist; not a failure like you.

Ron immediately stepped so close to Bonnie that their noses barely touched; he glared at her.

"You may not agree with my relationship with Tara, but I love her and I know damn well that she loves me too; so go blow your boyfriend and leave me and Tara alone!"

Bonnie had never been told off like that and she couldn't think of a rebuttal so she just turned around and stormed off making incoherent noises as Liz and Hope followed.

Ron then proceeded to his house excited about Tara living with him.

Tara was now home getting her things together. Her house smelled like beer and smoke. Cockroaches and bottles littered the floor.

Tara was all too happy to be out of this place, until she heard the door open. Her father came in looking dirty and smelly.

When he saw Tara he just stared at her for a while trying to get the cobwebs out of his head.

Tara could see that he was drunk again. He then noticed the bags at her feet and looked at her again.

"What's with the bags; you going on a trip or something?" he slurred his words and swayed back and forth; he grabbed the doorway to keep from falling.

"Yes, I'm moving out."

"Who says you can move out? You're not even eighteen."

"Yes I am, today is my birthday."

"I'm your father and I say you stay, who'll clean my trash?"

"Try doing it yourself," Tara replied defiantly.

"You're not going anywhere!" he lunged at her in a drunken rage and grabbed her shoulders. She struggled, but couldn't pry his hands off; he stared to slap her and babble.

She cried out in pain at the slaps and could feel her wrists starting to hurt she had to escape so she did the only thing she could think of…she kicked him in the crotch.

He yelped in pain and feel on his knees; Tara grabbed her bags and ran out the door leaving her drunken father and her miserable life behind.

Ron and his parents were all ready for Tara's arrival. They had a big banner that read: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA! AND WELCOME HOME!

Her favorite treat, strawberry pie, was on the table with eighteen candles all lit and ready to go.

Ron and a noise maker and some streamers to throw in the air; he wanted Tara to feel right at home.

When the door opened they all cried out, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" and twirled the noise makers and threw the streamers in the air as Tara smiled and gave everyone a hug, except Ron who received kisses instead.

After blowing out the candles Tara opened some presents. She received some money and a house key that she could now keep to get in the house.

After everyone ate some pie Mrs. Stoppable asked Ron to show Tara her room while they cleaned up.

Ron led Tara up the stairs holding her hand. She squeezed his hand and was delighted to feel him squeeze back.

As he opened the door to her room he felt her push him onto the bed and passionately kiss him. Their tongues got comfortable and they just lay there peacefully.

Ron then sat up and pulled a small box out of his pocket. Tara sat up and looked at the small box and read the words: TO TARA LOVE RON written on it.

He handed her the gift and scratched his head nervously.

"I had been saving for months and finally had enough to buy it."

When she lifted the lid and looked its contents she nearly fainted. Inside was a golden locket covered with emeralds and with the words: I LOVE YOU on it.

She opened it to see two small photos in it. One was a picture of Tara and Ron at the prom together and the second was a picture of Ron giving one of his goofy grins.

Tara's eyes began to well up and as she put it on she tackled Ron again and thanked him over and over again. He was happy she liked it and wrapped his arms around her.

Tara rested her head on Ron's chest and closed her eyes just staying there in stillness. Tara had all that she needed she had a family that loved her and a boyfriend who cared for her like no one else; she was satisfied.

Kim, Monique, and Yori were walking together laughing at the movie they had just seen. Drakken allowed the girls to go out, but they had a curfew and if a mission came up they were to act immediately.

The three girls continued conversing as a group of men followed closely behind. Kim and the others turned into an alleyway.

The six men followed and hurried their pace, but when they turned the corner it was a dead end.

"Where did they go?" asked one of them.

Suddenly in an instant the three assassins came from above and surprised them. Kim fired her gun and killed two while Yori used her throwing knives to deal with the others; leaving one alive.

He trembled in fear and was wounded by one of Yori's knives, which pierced his shoulder.

"Who sent you to kill us?" asked Kim.

"I…I can't tell you they'll kill me," he replied.

"How about this, you tell us who sent you and we won't kill you, but if you don't then I'm afraid Monique here will have to see if you have a heart."

"Monkey Fist," he said quickly," Monkey Fist sent us."

The three girls recognized the name instantly. Monkey Fist was a small time crime lord who controlled some Nevada towns, but he wanted Drakken's territory.

He knew that Drakken had special agents so he sent these thugs to kill them, but has greatly underestimated his opponent.

"Thank You," Kim said as she put the gun to his head.

"Wait you said you wouldn't kill me," he whimpered.

Kim just laughed and replied, "I lied."

BLAM!

The man fell dead as Yori and Monique watched on.

"So, what do we do now?" asked Yori.

"We tell Father, and then we let him decide what we do."

The three girls left the alley in silence; leaving their victims behind. Cont…
